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...)

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

maybe she will teach him how to rock out
― j., Thursday, 8 June 2017 02:23 (seven years ago) link
i dont think courtney barnett will be teaching anyone to rock out tbh

― j., Thursday, 8 June 2017 03:33 (seven years ago) link

― micah, Thursday, 8 June 2017 03:42 (seven years ago) link
aw i like her
― flappy bird, Thursday, 8 June 2017 04:01 (seven years ago) link
Courtney Barnett, i like her
yeah I like her too and she certainly knows how to rock out
― niels, Thursday, 8 June 2017 18:15 (seven years ago) link
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.
― evol j, Thursday, 8 June 2017 19:56 (seven years ago) link
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

depreston destroys me, what a song
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Monday, 4 September 2017 04:37 (six years ago) link
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
― flappy bird, Monday, 4 September 2017 04:49 (six years ago) link
cheers flappy
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Monday, 4 September 2017 07:46 (six years ago) link
That nee Kurt Vile/ Courtney song is great wtf
If you like Vile's music that is.
― nostormo, Monday, 4 September 2017 18:17 (six years ago) link
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
― Karl Malone, Monday, 4 September 2017 19:09 (six years ago) link
Lol
― nostormo, Monday, 4 September 2017 19:11 (six years ago) link
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.
― the general theme of STUFF (cryptosicko), Monday, 4 September 2017 19:19 (six years ago) link
Interesting, i feel exactly the same thing but replace Courtney with Kurt in your comment
― nostormo, Monday, 4 September 2017 19:30 (six years ago) link
yeah I find KV incredibly boring but will listen to the record bc of CB
― flappy bird, Monday, 4 September 2017 20:38 (six years ago) link
he was OK on that hope sandoval track, but hope didn't really need it

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.
― flappy bird, Monday, 4 September 2017 21:14 (six years ago) link
wow this new song & video are really lovely

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.
― jamiesummerz, Thursday, 28 September 2017 07:38 (six years ago) link
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
― flappy bird, Thursday, 28 September 2017 17:55 (six years ago) link
i like it!
Kurt is vv good i think though I'm more a Courtney Barnett fan at this point.

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

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
― marcos, Thursday, 28 September 2017 18:30 (six years ago) link
xp yeah Alfred I was not into that first single at all. this new one really won me over, psyched for the album now
― flappy bird, Thursday, 28 September 2017 18:43 (six years ago) link
have heard very little Kurt Vile before these two songs & his singing on the verses reminds me a lot of Daniel Johnston
― flappy bird, Friday, 29 September 2017 05:40 (six years ago) link
good but i can't help thinking it'd be better as just a KV song.
I think CB is okay-to-good but I expect her to only get better, maybe as she sheds the idea that she's some kind of lyrical observational savant

Over Everything is like a David Kilgour song with guest vocals by James Yorkston and, uh, Courtney Barnett

Yeah, this is good stuff
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Saturday, 30 September 2017 22:22 (six years ago) link
Been listening to 'Continental Breakfast' a lot every day since it came out, such a wonderful song. I'll be really happy if there are 2-3 more songs as good as this on the record.
― flappy bird, Saturday, 7 October 2017 01:15 (six years ago) link
this album, i like it
