Kurt Vile - b’lieve i'm goin down... (2015)

Have you heard his pre-Matador albums/comps (constant hitmaker and god is saying this to you)? hate to be that guy but I prefer that stuff a million times over. A song like "my best friends" is in a completely different universe then a song like "pretty pimpin" imho

Feel like this guy is capable of one crackin' song per album. "Jesus Fever" and "Pretty Pimpin'" are pretty pimpin' but I agree the rest is a snoozefest. Probably getting too high for too long - pull it together, Vile!

I've heard his older stuff and vaguely remember liking it fine.

"Freeway" is a good older one

"jesus fever" was the worst song on that album. i generally don't find his albums' 'focus tracks' to be very compelling compared to what i suppose some of y'all consider to be his 'snoozefest' material

I probably need to revisit his old ones, at the time they didn't grab me but I didn't spend a lot of time with them.

i hate to be that guy too but smoke ring is my favorite of his

New song about playing the guitar

Sadies name is on here but it sounds exactly like what you'd expect in a vile b-side

i went to look up the "forgot to add the fabric softener" ad on youtube to show my wife an old ad i remembered from my childhood and the third hit was courtney barnett and kurt vile's "tiny desk concert"

i didn't click on the link so the relationship between kurt vile and fabric softener will forever be mysterious to me
