I like how this thread title evokes a Seinfeld-ish stand-up bit...
“First there was Courtney Barnett... she was pretty good! Like if Sheryl Crow had a few Nirvana CDs and a reliable weed connection! Then there was Soccer Mommy... when I first heard her, I thought Liz Phair was trying to sneak back into the industry under an assumed name! And now this Phoebe lady... what’s the deal??”

There appears to be a song on this record titled "Leonard Cohen"

Bring it on, the EP is glorious, and each one of them has gotten better since then. Phoebe is opening for Taylor Swift, right? She's gonna get a lot of new fans this year.

it should be cute but it's actually annoying. this may be because i am a 46-year-old member of the Phoebe Bridgers subreddit.
this reminds me of a friend of mine telling me he got annoyed at the boygenius show he went to because there were so many young people and I was like "dude, I too wound up being a 50 year old greyhair at a phoebe bridgers concert and that is just something you have to accept"

Phoebe is opening for Taylor Swift, right?
That has got to be either the best or the worst opening slot in the world.

she'll do great but if you were annoyed by her fans now, just wait until she picks up more swifties
― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Friday, 13 January 2023 23:06 (one year ago) link
I wish her luck convincing those people that she is more than the only thing standing between them and Taylor.

man, I think they took it down, but there was a boygenius pitchfork live set from brooklyn on youtube for a few years that I watched about a thousand times, the version of Me and My Dog in it is one of my favorite live performances ever I think.

Interscope, huh? I guess they outgrew Matador. I wonder if Julien and Lucy are still there as solo artists.
(Old Matador BBS interests die hard.)

the pitchfork live session is def now gone from youtube, I wonder if that's because of the band changing labels or something...or maybe they're going to release that session in some other way. I hope it comes back, it's something else. there are a few audience shot videos of the same show but they're not as good obviously

phoebe's set that preceeded theirs does appear to still be online though

Genuinely excited for the album. The EP is magnificent.

Yep, love the EP and optimistic that they’ll all bring good material for the album.

Heard her on a Sirius XM radio show playing lots of melancholy rock ballads by Big Star and others and she was enthusing about Alex Chilton from Box Tops days to Big Star and solo

Three tracks (including the above) on Spotify. All lovely but True Blue stands out as a Dacus masterclass.

I like them all, "$20" best because I always like when Baker rocks out a little. Hope there's at least a bit more of that on the album.

I think there should be a boygenius thread, really. Any objections?

I absolutely love Phoebe Bridgers, but even as a huge Phoebe Bridgers fan, I would be very good with seeing about 65% fewer "artist X releases a new single featuring Phoebe Bridgers" headlines every month. Seems like they are hitting every few days right now.

The National one is fucking ridiculous: 'contains tincture of Bridgers'.

What prompted this was realizing that today's Pitchfork headline about a new song with Rob Moose was indeed not the same headline as the one from two days ago about a new song with Arlo Parks.

clearly a Bridgers too far

It won't last, you're only the new cool kid for a while, but she seems like she's having fun.

Also she obviously loves collaborating.
"Rob Moose" is killing me for some reason what a hilarious name

In the photo accompanying the pfork article, HE seems to be the one wearing her trademark "skeleton costume" garb... unexpected switcheroo!

Lol every Pitchfoyk article about this Rob Moose guy has Bridgers’ name in the headline
