Courtney Barnett, I like her

Maybe someone could start an Aussie music thread? Not me*, but I would occasionally consider lurking. No general threads showed up in a search – and it's been a long time since S/D Aussie Music Videos and What is the greatest Australian single of the last 25 years? (10 years ago).

* sadly I'd need one of these first

Feel like there has been talk about this sort of music generally in the Dick Diver thread.

Courtney Barnett, The Grammys Like Her

Best New Artist nod

she's playing SNL's season finale. i find this fairly shocking.

how come? i bet the sound will be shitty

really excited to see her tonight. glad she's doing one last victory lap tour for this record. i only heard it after she had been thru last year. also just found out the opening band The Sandwich Police has Evan Dando in it???

Fun show?

She was good enough on Saturday Night Live. I guess she likes having the mikestand set up high, and standing on her toes to reach it...

it was good. she seemed a little tired, sorta just barreled thru the set. not surprised, she's been playing the same songs - except for Three Packs a Day and Pickles from the Jar - for 2 years now. maybe she got stoned with evan dando beforehand. i'm bummed that she doesn't have a second guitarist, I love her lead playing on the record. songs like Depreston and Sleepless in New York felt empty without their lead lines.

i need to get the records. i like listening to her a lot. i love her voice. i get the sheryl thing more than the liz thing mentioned on here. also i'll bet she was a fan of car wheels on a gravel road. (i'd much rather listen to courtney than lucinda though...)

huh...anyone heard this?

I wish I could be more excited about this, but frankly Vile puts me to sleep.

me too... this is a drag. was hoping for a new solo record from her this year

kurt and courtney!

maybe she will teach him how to rock out

i dont think courtney barnett will be teaching anyone to rock out tbh

have you not dozed through kurt vile

no but ive dozed through courtney barnett

aw i like her

Courtney Barnett, i like her

yeah I like her too and she certainly knows how to rock out

I have actually witnessed her rocking out in concert, p cool

they're both great, should be a great collabo and tour. they can probably share clothes.

wow 3 chicago dates, gonna try and do the bottle since it's probably my last opportunity to see kv at a venue so small

fucking hell get this drongo out the paint already

hell yea

depreston destroys me, what a song

oh man i've been playing that one a lot the past couple days. an instant classic, and only two chords. imagine the feeling of writing a song like that - it has an elemental simplicity & elusive power

glad this wasn't a bump for her new record with Kurt Vile. not really psyched on the single

cheers flappy

That nee Kurt Vile/ Courtney song is great wtf

If you like Vile's music that is.

New

I didn't really like the new single either, and I like Kurt Vile. But then again, I don't really like Barnett's music much, and I much prefer Vile's earlier music, so perhaps I just don't like new things

Lol

I'm not a Vile fan either, despite his associations with things I love (The Best Show with Tom Scharpling, and now Courtney), and this song bores me in exactly the same way that everything else I've heard from him does. But if this is the only new Courtney Barnett music I'm going to get for now, I'll check the album out.

Interesting, i feel exactly the same thing but replace Courtney with Kurt in your comment

yeah I find KV incredibly boring but will listen to the record bc of CB

he was OK on that hope sandoval track, but hope didn't really need it

Interesting, i feel exactly the same thing but replace Courtney with Kurt in your comment

ha, this really is a perfect pairing for a collaboration: two artists that are fairly traditional & boring on paper, but the quality of the songs transcends it. Equally applicable to KV & CB depending on who you are.

wow this new song & video are really lovely

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHCtH15dpmU

this is the sort of shit that would really annoy me and then make me eventually leave early while i tried to enjoy an overpriced coffee.

it's a thin line. something about that circular guitar motif running throughout the song just hits the spot. verses are really nice too, song has a sweet vibe, obv I prefer Courtney's singing & lyrics but Kurt is tolerable on here.

also lol didn't make the Kurt & Courtney connection re: this whole record until Courtney held up that DVD

i like it!

Kurt is vv good i think though I'm more a Courtney Barnett fan at this point.

this shit was vile

loved it

the video is so sweet too! again, a thin line, but it made me :)

these are the kinds of songs i wish kurdt still wrote for his solo releases

couldn't make it through the vid sorry

actually, I thought the link was this terrible thing. My apologies.

there were a couple kurt vile tunes i dug from a few years back but that's about as deep as i can go. his hair is beautiful though and i wish i had it

courtney barnett's music is brutally bad

xp yeah Alfred I was not into that first single at all. this new one really won me over, psyched for the album now
