no doubt, I happen to find FJM's delivery more intolerable - listening to the song now and if ever there was a voice too clever for it's own good...
but I shouldn't comment so much on stuff I don't like

I am simple, and easily amused.

It's the wording of the caption that gets me.

Sort of related, but was just thinking I'd totally be into a FJM Christmas album.

Elton John's been mentioned a few times itt, "Ballad of the Dying Man" came on shuffle recently and before I skipped it I was struck by how reminiscent it was of a Captain Fantastic track

New Single:

Apparently the new album is a Concept Album about being Fucked Up In A Hotel (or, in other words, the most FJM thing FJM has ever FJM-d)

I was interested in his thing at first but the longer he keeps up with this schtick the grosser it seems and it’s retroactively ruining my enjoyment for his earlier material.

I wasn’t but I am sort of mystified at my positive first reaction to it now.

he's not doubled down, but quadrupled down on the meta-josh-fjm schtick. tiresome.

One of the 2 new songs; Just Dumb Enough To Try is fantastic IMO.
'"Josh Tillman has said the new album is “the real I Love You, Honeybear but without the cynicism”'.

new album is great. Definitely feels like a "smaller" record than "Pure Comedy" even though there's still a lot of big-sounding orchestration and slow piano balladry. Lot of great, funny lines, that's for sure.

Jason Isbell's here as wellAnd he seemed a little worried about you
They're co-headlining this summer!?!? Maybe they'll duet that song?

Two hour long Barbican show from earlier tonight. Many new bangers debuted. He legit sounds like Manhattan Transfer on a couple. Not a bad thing!
