FW I wasn't wild about the album as a whole but this is one of his best songs

*fwiw
I can see a reverse argument. Joan Crawford has a legendary reluctance to discuss her music on here and I feel that the rest of us only do so tentatively out of respect

yeah this is a lovely song

idk about that, i was into the mountain goats before i joined ilx, and didn't know about the ilx connection when i joined here either

My jams from Goths were 'Rain In Soho', 'We Do It Different on the West Coast' and 'Shelved' FWIW

I loved Tallahassee but that has been a while. Since then I have tried but found nada.

the full-length Ariadna (i.e. on Spotify/the album) is really lovely and better than the edit imo btw

No. But I have some bias due to old ILX grudges. Really not my thing though.

i'm not a mountain goats fan but because of real life events this year i am beyond thrilled that his new album is called "goths" and appears to be about goths

"Rain in Soho" rules.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 22 January 2018 17:45 (six years ago) link
the whole album rules Darnielle’s Kaputt

DJP did some arrangements for this album, right?
Just one track, I believe, but I could be incorrect.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 22 January 2018 17:47 (six years ago) link
What I will say about Wear Black is that it has a really satisfying bridge
― #TeamHailing (imago), Monday, 22 January 2018 17:49 (six years ago) link
Darniele would be flattered
well i didn't mean it as an insult. but let's be really real here guys, this song is no blue pedro
― faust apes (NickB), Monday, 22 January 2018 17:49 (six years ago) link
I'd probably be bored shitless by an Anglophone track in the vein of this Kedr Liviansky song but this is fantastic and it's all in the way the vocal line weaves around the rest of the music.

I had completely forgotten she released anything last year.

Album really came and went. It's the least best of the three, but not awful by any means.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 22 January 2018 17:56 (six years ago) link
"Your Domino" should've been the single.

midnight wasn't a highlight on that album
― ufo, Monday, 22 January 2018 18:00 (six years ago) link
i'm looking forward to finally giving this album a spin at some point. love her, but have yet to get around to it.
Ariadna was my #7 i think?
― omar little, Monday, 22 January 2018 18:00 (six years ago) link
Midnight is my first vote to place. I was excited about the album based on the first two or three singles, but I found it a slog. Probably if I were to make the effort I'd find more tracks there that I like.

If I had voted for any JW it would have been "Thinking About You" but maybe expectations were just too high.
― ? (seandalai), Monday, 22 January 2018 18:05 (six years ago) link
I voted for Your Domino over this.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 22 January 2018 18:06 (six years ago) link
same, your domino is a jam.

Our next track is the one that was oh so close to being 78'ed before it was (unfortunately?) rescued by one last vote at the buzzer...

Huh. Expected some TS tracks to make it, not necessarily that one.
― abcfsk, Monday, 22 January 2018 18:15 (six years ago) link
"look what you made me do" getting 78'd would've been hilarious. i guess this is funny too
"I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now" (Ooh, look what you made me do)"Why?" (Look what you made me do)"Oh, 'cause she's dead!" (oh!)
worst ghost story ever

i'm prob not revealing too much by noting that taylor is the artist who probably suffered the most from vote splitting on this poll.

The album was a disappointment in several ways, a mixed bag, but I kinda find TS more endearing than ever... I'll save that discussion for the album thread, I think.
― abcfsk, Monday, 22 January 2018 18:29 (six years ago) link
I'd listen to ya because endearing would probably be the very last word to come to mind re TS2018
