'Anthem for a seventeen-year-old girl' is lovely; the rest of 'you forgot it in people' hasn't really grabbed me.

He is playing them on his programme - alas, it sounds a mess! I don't know why Bob would be interested in this.

that is an interesting phrase, though I am unsure of what you mean by it. Do you mean it is a slump in their career?

If you own a copy, try starting their latest at Track 7 (AKA "Windsurfing Nation") and then wrapping back 'round. I've found it makes BSS’s latest more accessible/penetrable/enjoyable—and a worthy successor to You Forgot It In People.
It's a gorgeous mess (or, if you will, orchestration) of indie rock elements (see also: Do Make Say Think, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, etc.) that takes risks their more polished peers wouldn’t know how to harness in an equally lyric’d setting.

sounded messy/cluttered over the speakers earlier, whereas on headphones the production/feel is wonderfully huggable.

Don't you hate it when you buy the Broken Social Scene (2005) album on your lunch break and then some menkaloid at Virgin Smegabore has gone done put a big sticky security protector on the lovely cardboard packaging and it gets all ripped up before you've put the cd on and then when you do put the cd on, the cd is really really boring anyway.

my cd has a crack in it, though. :( if you want we can swap.

i think i am going to like this album a lot...

Broken Social Scene? The worst? Really? Like, worser than Ashlee Simpson?
Care to go into any backing up (i.e., why's and/or what-for's behind) that statement? Or is it just fun to be contrarian (which, I might add is sooo ILM circa 1991)?

I’m probably wrong but this single “can’t find my heart” sounds like maybe the most urgent and real thing they’ve done in years https://open.spotify.com/track/6iRYhL6cwnuT2EnWsiDW15?si=P-zPnBW6Q4m3ACmWMuWj6Q

Twenty Broken Social Scene threads? Really?
Got a cheap used copy of their first album the other day. I love it...great driving music, reminds me of Yo La Tengo at their meandering-instrumental best.
― clemenza, Friday, 29 December 2023 20:42 (three months ago) link
I should prob give it a go, along with the last two, but #3 never hit me like #2.
― organ doner (ledge), Friday, 29 December 2023 20:55 (three months ago) link
yeah I don’t really like too much of their other stuff but the first album is beautiful. Clemenza, you might like their previous album as KC Accidental, it’s sort of in the same vein
― brimstead, Friday, 29 December 2023 21:07 (three months ago) link
Will definitely look for that, thanks. This, the first song from the debut, is a good test. If you love it as much as I do, you'll like the whole album; if it bores you, ditto.

Was just thinking about them the other day. Love the s/t.
― calstars, Friday, 29 December 2023 22:30 (three months ago) link
I had one of those experiences where seeing them live made me like the records less. (Granted, I saw them live, for the first time, only a couple years ago. Maybe they were mind-blowing 20 years ago but the show I saw very much had the vibe of dads in search of their lost glory.)

I saw one of them open for Television in 2014, and in a low-key, non-disastrous way, it was one of the least effective professional shows I've ever seen.

I looked into KC Accidental and ended up ordering a used compilation from Amazon. The two original CDs are too expensive--one a little, the other ridiculous--and I couldn't find them on Soulseek.
