I saw Britt Daniel at Pitchfork Fest six years ago in cargo shorts and high tops in the Chipotle line: he wasn't bad ass.

That review is trying a bit hard to turn being a spoon fan into a sign you're a fearless ice-cold mfer.

cargo shorts are pretty badass, lots of pocket space for more handguns

Imagine Zach Braff’s face when you steal his burrito

in one of Britt Daniels' cargo shorts pockets is a interdimensional portal back to Austin, through which he rides on a burrito

the one place i ever saw britt daniel was in the pearl district in portland buying truffles at a boutique chocolate place called "moonstruck", no hirschberg

burritos, truffles, he's a gourmand, that Britt

lol at the idea that burning your bridges with Zach Braff is a risky move. Weird to see another article way overstating the importance of that dude for indie music in 2014.

if they've completely giving up on the idea of innovation being anything to be aplauded.
I hope so. "innovation" is a false god

"innovation" may be false, but what about innovation?

Britt Daniel sneaks a sharp splinter of film criticism into one of the tough, terse, personal songs that Spoon is so known for:
lol is this really what he's "known for", I have never had more than the barest glimmer of understanding of what any of his songs are about beyond the most obvious (Sister Jack etc)
― Οὖτις, Monday, 28 July 2014 23:22 (ten years ago) link
innovation is more about technology, not so much about aesthetics. I don't really care about technology and it's false sense of progress. music is not about progress.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 28 July 2014 23:24 (ten years ago) link
wait, what is false about the progress in say medical technology?
― David Schramm (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 28 July 2014 23:26 (ten years ago) link
tons of things that were marketed as progress courtesy of technology have turned out to be detrimental - the idea that because something is new it is better than what came before (the very essence of the concept of progress) is, how you say, problematic
― Οὖτις, Monday, 28 July 2014 23:32 (ten years ago) link
ah, so you meant 'technology and its sometimes false sense of progress'
― David Schramm (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 28 July 2014 23:37 (ten years ago) link
I love Spoon and I have no idea what their songs are "about," Sister Jack included, this is part of the appeal tbh

Nah, it's the way art develops. Otherwise you end up with fucking Fleet Foxes as album of the year. And really, the concept is that something that is new is all things considered better than something we have heard a thousand times before.
(for some reason I listened to Fleet Foxes the other day. christ it's awful. this thread should prob have been closed back then)

Well the most forward-thinking music right now is probably festival EDM/dubstep, which they don't cover except sneeringly:

probably cuz it's built on ideas that have been regurgitated so many times (and weren't that great the first time around) that even pfork can tell the treads worn off the tires.

Yeah, Recess is kinda one of my favorite albums this year. So fun. But really, the 'electronic' albums that have been bnm'd is Todd Terje and Brian Eno & Karl Hyde. And I like the Terje-thing, but it's hardly a 'Recess'.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 29 July 2014 04:23 (ten years ago) link
seen a bunch of EDM shows this year and they have thrilling moments for sure but a lot of the big artists aren't good DJs and anyway the appeal of a lot of EDM is that it's new headbanging music which isn't exactly my idea of "forward thinking"
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 29 July 2014 04:29 (ten years ago) link
Though, yeah, a lot is being repurposed from jungle and UK dancehall and w/e, but it's the only music not interested in the sounds/textures/rhythms of the past (see "alls fair in love and brostep") which is definitely more forward thinking than Ought/Parquet Courts doing Pavement's version of the Fall or w/e
― dilligaf escape plan (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 29 July 2014 05:00 (ten years ago) link
a lot of "forward thinking" music is inaccessible and bad, too
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 29 July 2014 05:09 (ten years ago) link
anyway by pitchfork's count the best four albums of the last two years have been a a compton rapper's concept album, a fashion designer's political noise rap record, a gay R&B singer's magnum opus and one incredible album (vampire weekend) that is a reminder that judging music on what is the most "forward thinking" is perhaps not the truest rubric, so i think they're doing ok
