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

cheers flappy

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

Lol

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

love love the peepin' tom cover
― Flogging Mommy (diamonddave85), Friday, 13 October 2017 16:49 (six years ago) link
I'm on the fence, Vile's voice isn't my favorite. But the closer, a cover of Belly's "Untogether", is brilliant.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Friday, 13 October 2017 17:22 (six years ago) link
ohhh i really like that one too! didn't know it was a cover
― Flogging Mommy (diamonddave85), Friday, 13 October 2017 18:28 (six years ago) link
no way, they cover untogether?
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Friday, 13 October 2017 19:00 (six years ago) link
a Belly cover has done more to pique my interest than anything with Kurt Vile's name attached to it ever would
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 14 October 2017 08:55 (six years ago) link
I heard Courtney and Kurt recorded a cover of each others songs, anyone have the details?

Courtney Barnett, i like her. Moreso than Curdt Fyle, but they complemented each other well.

the Kurt and Courtney record really disappointed me considering how much I enjoy each artist's solo work, it was just more half-assed goofiness than even they could get away with. hoping Barnett's new one is a return to form.
― evol j, Thursday, 15 February 2018 20:50 (six years ago) link
I had forgotten how much goodwill I had towards her - the debut was disappointing and the collab was not for me - but this is markedly better
