only listened to this once while making dinner last night, but it sounded great...were my ears deceiving me or was one tune a heavy "boys of summer" homage?

i'm guessing you have the glitchy 192kbps promo leak from matador which some have speculated is a 320 rip that somehow reports that it is 192. mp3 players base their length estimate on filesize so that would probably account for the longer reported track lengths
― diamonddave85, Thursday, 11 April 2013 15:21 (eleven years ago) link
You are correct. I listened to the opening track from the start and it just cuts off at its intended length. Kind of weird, thanks.

dang, i was kinda hoping there was a chopped and screwed version floating around out there

Yeah, I was definitely hoping it was some kind of secret "Hot Buttered Vile" version or something.

Shame chamber is great but I always expect J Mascis to start singing when it comes on

great album - after 'Halo', I thought this was the kind of artist from whom one album was enough but I've been proved wrong. Great sunny highway driving music too. Surprised no one has mentionned 'Stoned & Dethroned' as a reference.

"Wakin on a Pretty Day" sound a lot like "Major Leagues"

I'd never previously listened to Kurt Vile, but Wakin' on a Pretty Daze is my favorite album of 2013 so far.

better than mbv? no way. compared to that it's a little bit of a bore i'd say.

Same here, loving this album, went out and bought the vinyl after two listens.

Got this on vinyl the other day. Absolute perfection. Less of a...'vibe' to it than Smoke Ring had/has, but the songs are incredible. I could listen to Goldtone all day.

this is a great record, it has a positive vibe, something few records seem to have over-all.

for reasons beyond my control i have to see this dude play tonight. i like his records just fine but i am not expecting much from the show. anyone caught this tour?
also something called "beach fossils" is opening which sounds pretty terrible

This album sounded great in the spring, a little less so when I listened to it again recently, but still one of my favorites of the year.

The last time I played this record in whole was sitting on my dad's pontoon boat at his lakehouse over the summer and it was pretty much A+ perfect and I'm afraid to spoil the magic by playing it again.

man
I like him live but the best part is often the acoustic solo bit to start the encore imo. not that the band is bad but he's great by himself.

yeah it's on spotify...one real keeper is the ghost of freddie roach, good tune
some longer/alt version of album tracks...the last song is a cool little instrumental snippet but it's only about 1:30 long...
no one that bought the vinyl is really missing out that much imo
