Liz Phair’s profile has risen from where it was in the 2000s
Yeah, I don't remember much fanfare when I saw her in 2010, but she instantly sold out two big shows here last year.

I thought people were really into that? I thought it was pretty exciting but I only heard it at one gig.

Everybody loved Boadrum! But it was extremely not for me. My enjoyment of that band shifted heavily over to OOIOO over the past decade

boredoms seem like one of those bands that still have a pretty dedicated fanbase but haven't picked up too many new fans since they slowed down. they don't seem particularly 'relevant' at the moment, yeah. the diehards are still into it but they're a little older now and there are less young people at, like, yoshimi shows now.
one of the oldest crowds I've ever seen was when i went to a "beastie boys story" gig this year where mike d and ad rock told stories. almost nobody under 35.

I don't know if you are saying what I think you're saying but I feel the thing that you typed exactly. I really love Taiga! There is a song by either OOIOO/Boredoms that's a jam while somebody falls all over the black keys on a piano and I don't remember what track it is (help me remember)

great one - very nearly nobody cares about their new records, and Wayne's assholeishness and racism has actively repelled plenty of those who would, but this gets masked by them still putting on a big, entertaining show & thus getting booked for festivals

The Soft Bulletin is probably the album that has most sharply plummeted in my appreciation between when it came out and now.

With the Grateful Dead thing (which is full on still in ascendant mode), while it started around the time that Animal Collective was huge and unashamed to cite (and sample) the GD, it has crossed over big time to seemingly be kinda be cool across the board. While this isn't surprising to me, the upsurge of "jam" adjacency for certain bands is a bit, but we'll see how long that lasts. To be clear, I am not talking about the musicians choosing to improvise / jam out on parts of songs, but the use of the term "jam" not being a complete anathema to these bands, as it was for a long time.

not super-duper deep-down racist, but he fired the Lips longtime drummer over the latter's objections to the Republican governor's daughter dancing onstage with them, and instagramming offstage with Wayne, in indigenous American headdresses and war regalia with mocking captions
At 9:54 p.m., he texted me again pressing the headdress photo issue. In my desire to have this done and over with, I apologized and said I wouldn't do it again. He responded, "… Ha ha… You so full of shit … You're a fucking coward !! Go stick up for your Indian friends if its so important to you !!" It devolved from there, with him later texting, "I think….. I am gonna make it so your 'beliefs' no longer have any association with the Flaming Lips .." More name calling followed with him finally sending me a text at 3:49 a.m. on March 20 that said I was fired. Along the way, he called me a "nazi punk coward Internet bully"

the flaming lips are just an all-out gimmick band now, aren't they? i mean they always had that aspect to them, but that one time they actively announced "Hey, everybody, we're doing a proper album!" nobody fucking cared.
whenever someone says "coyne" i think "kevin" and want to say that he doesn't _actually_ think hitler was a great man, that was just him singing in character as ian brady

stock up: '80s rnb, mixtape rap, new age, sophisti-popstock down: turn of the decade indie, freak-folk, arcade fire, college rock
Wouldn't know if this is correct, but sounds good to me. Erase indie rock from Beat Happening through whatever bands said "HEY! HO!" and clapped/stomped etc., and the world is a better place.
Quick search suggests no one has weighed in on post-punk as a genre. Again I don't really have my finger on the critical/popular/young people pulse... But based on the fact post-punk is heavily used to describe a lot of current music from 2010-2019 (for good and for ill, but overall more for good than circa 2005), I'd wager it's retained its place of pride as rock music that stands the test of time? Still sounds great to me, I think I just kind of OD'd a bit on it during my 20s in the 2000s.

I enjoyed a lot of the flaming lips stuff up to a point but I have the same reaction now as UMS, I’m not sure what the hell I was thinking. I hear Yoshimi and Soft Bulletin now and they sound like garbage. I still enjoy a couple tracks from HTDITFH but that’s all strictly based on memory, haven’t listened to it in years. It’s all independent from Wayne Coyne.
