My friend sent me a link. New album is more lo-fi, like california fuzz stuff. Less cool
― Fatalist AmandaPalmistry (irrational), Monday, 18 May 2015 01:26 (nine years ago) link
ugh why is everyone trying to be less cool

Is this where we would talk about the latest Good Riddence and Strung Out albums too? Because while hardly reinventing the wheel both are surprisingly return to form. The GR in particular is pretty great.

Menzingers/Chumped a perfectly calibrated concert pairing. humped's vocal disclaimer about respecting space and boundaries while having fun carried over to make for a friendly, just-raucous-enough Menzingers crowd full of hand-on-heart singalong bros (and more than a few ecstatic fangirls)
Also I hope this is a safe space to say that I may be in love with the lead singer/guitarist from Chumped

really enjoying the new Desaparecidos album. "Golden Parachutes" and "Te Amo Camila Vallejo" are jams, Oberst should stick to this gear imo

This is a quick, mid-year reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread (and a handful of album selections from each listed) are being posted as updated to the thread-specific Spotify playlist. I just did a top-to-bottom sweep prior to posting this message and have updated as of today with everything that's been added on Spotify since it was first mentioned.
Brevity is the soul of haircuts so here's 26 songs in just a little over an hour.

relistening to the last Pianos Become the Teeth record thanks to the deluxe edition - gorgeous album. completely one-note but it's a note that resonates atm. the new(?) bonus tracks are great.
