feeling extremely targeted by the lyrics of "Old Crap" in particular

sounding pretty good even if it's not a worry-level masterpiece

I assume Craig of the Creek (which I've not watched) is getting the benefit of his more showtuney/colorful side. I await his vastly improved take on American Idiot sometime after his TV watch ends.

"State Line" has been my NO DREAM highlight so far. I still think We Cool? is his best

and the title track which is pretty incredible
― gman59, Friday, 22 May 2020 03:59 (four years ago) link
funny the title track is the mandatory "one song I find skippable" which seems to exist on every single Rosenstock release for me.
another new Creeper song, "All My Friends"....this rollout is taking forever but wow is this one a beaut

also I think the new Caligula's Horse record (and the superior previous one) would appeal more to emo thread cru people than most of the metal thread. big soaring heart-on-yr-sleeve shit, pretty close to the better moments on the Dear Hunter albums.

is it just me or is modern metallic hardcore sneaking into emo records more lately? (I feel like it used to be only the reverse that happened, hardcore bands doing an emo song or two). I am not mad about this development

i'm not linking it but i'm so fucking furious that billboard published an article about the attempted comeback of the abuser from pwr bttm. so furious
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 3 July 2020 17:17 (three years ago) link
there's a worthwhile way to tell/cover that story but scanning the article it seems extremely sympathetic tot he point of fawning
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 3 July 2020 17:39 (three years ago) link
Shortly after the Jezebel post, Hopkins read a Facebook entry mentioning the accuser’s hometown and says he became convinced that Jen was the woman he had met at the Midwest house party. “I was like, wait a minute, I didn't bring this person back to my house like it says in the article. I went back to their house at their invitation,” they say, then referring to their later rendezvous in New York, “If I'm this big, [imposing] person who you don't feel safe with, why do you want to come stay at my house?”
good stuff. not at all taken directly from the abuser's playbook
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 3 July 2020 17:43 (three years ago) link
not my story to tell but i know someone they abused, and y'know maybe this piece could've never been written or published
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 3 July 2020 17:46 (three years ago) link
Barbaris originally wanted Hopkins to write a first-person account of their 2017 experience as an op-ed for this outlet. Billboard’s editors suggested instead a reported story in which Hopkins as well as their accusers would be given the opportunity to tell their respective accounts.
shot
Billboard’s numerous, repeated attempts to present the accounts of these accusers as well as those of the music-industry representatives that dropped PWR BTTM were met largely with silence. The person who leveled the charges of sexual abuse did respond by email, but after expressing anger that Billboard was working on a story about Hopkins, declined to speak on the record.

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 3 July 2020 17:57 (three years ago) link
I can certainly imagine an interesting piece about someone accused of abuse who took stock, reconciled appropriately, took some time, and then all concerned wrestling with how to come back from that. This is clearly not that piece or that situation

New Creeper song 'Poisoned Heart' sounding a lot like both 'Soak Up the Sun', and 'Perfect Day' from the Legally Blonde soundtrack. I feel more neutrally about it than the other advance singles which were sounding great, but needed to record those connections somewhere so it doesn't drive me crazy later.

aaaand the Creeper album, which kicked off the thread back in January, is FINALLY out today. stoked to dig into it (what's left of it that's new, that is)
― the quar on drugs (Simon H.), Friday, 31 July 2020 12:14 (three years ago) link
this is pretty much all mid-tempo which is a bit of a bummer on contact, but I bet it will blossom nicely over the next while. "black moon" is a wonderful deep cut

I had paid zero attention to Creeper until this new album, obviously need to go back to the last one too. But this is reeeeaaaaally scratching that MCR gothy glam-punk itch. So many hooks, and I love that it's a little cheeky but also totally unironic in all its doomy romanticism.

― the quar on drugs (Simon H.), Monday, 3 August 2020 16:50 (three years ago) link
same here - loving this record and will check out the earlier one too. it's less emo/pop punk and way more glam than I expected? singer sounds a bit like Patrick Wolf in his lower range, similar levels of goth theatricality too.
