I played a boygenius video and YouTube sensibly put on other boygenius videos and songs by one of the trio. Then about six or seven videos in autoplay starts playing Twenty One Pilots songs. Not like I particularily hate 21 p and it's normal for autoplay to switch up artists after a handful of songs. But what is going on with the AI? Or does YT get paid by the big labels to do this? Or is YouTube like 'bitch, you've spent enough time being melancholy and twee and pretentious Ima put on some normal people music'?

In addition to just being great on its own merits, Phoebe went over the top on remote performances during covid, so if you ever get bored you should wander around Youtube looking at all the weird poo poo she did to keep it fresh when nobody could do very much. This is my favorite example, of the same song you posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9KYQ_tnTtc

"Oh man" right back! Thank you for this! From what I've seen so far it seems none of the trio really switch up the lyrics in different performances but the delivery is tweaked. Like just the way she pronounces the word "mean" elevated the verse. My only quibble is that the scream is too short. e: Also it's worth noting that Phoebe's collaborator Julien Baker sometimes, not always but sometimes, comes off as one of the most effortless cool persons I can think of off the bat.

Does Elephant Gym fall in the purview of this thread because there are preorders for a reissue of their first record Angle on vinyl if anyone likes bands like Toe and American Football but less sad sounding?

Wasn't a huge fan of Caroline Polachek's first solo album beyond So Hot and Pang but I must admit DIWTTIY is pretty dang good. The shuffly ethereal tracks like Butterfly Net, Blood & Butter and Pretty In Possible work really well with her baroque vocoder style and I don't even hate the Grimes guest spot. Anyway, thanks for listening to my six month late album review.

My 5 year old daughter loves Phoebe Bridgers initially based on that skeleton tshirt Phoebe wears (that is her style too) but then she kept asking to watch more and more of her videos and she just rocks out. She asks for Phoebe where her older sister will ask for katy perry or taylor swift lol She’s totally going to be the cool girl at school

I saw boygenius last night and it was the loudest crowd I have ever heard. Also, I’ve n ever been at this big of a show where the entire crowd sounded like they were singing . Also, funny that Broken Social Scene opened for them (in Toronto!!) and no one seemed to care. They opened because boygenius asked them to because all three are such huge fans.

I saw MUNA live last September and they were incredible. Stayaway is always a standout and I've come to prefer the performances of Silk Chiffon where Naomi gets to sing the second verse. Josette is pure sex onstage, there's no other way to describe it.

MGMT song came on autoplay and this one top comment was all 'Hey did you that know the band has said their earlier work was a joke and parody poking fun at bad taste?'. The responses were arguing what was meant. If remotely true what I have to say to that is this: Buddy(s), you made a music video themed around the Bacchae, you don't get to turn around and say you were doing it to show indie fans are dumb. That itself would be incredibly pretentious. Bright Bart fucked around with this message at 13:03 on Jun 24, 2023 |

I hate that whole "our aesthetic was actually a parody of this thing that we were." It's just the laziest justification for anything. Oh, I wasn't being sexist, I was making fun of sexism. Oh, I didn't make a bad song, I was making fun of a bad song. Oh, I didn't break into a jewelry store and stole all the jewels, I was making fun of the idea of breaking into a jewelry store and stealing all the jewels.

Cemetry Gator posted:I hate that whole "our aesthetic was actually a parody of this thing that we were." It's just the laziest justification for anything. Oh yes but I *like* early MGMT so for me it's not about them excusing something bad. So for me this would be less than the examples you give and more like a novelist publishing their debut rated by both readers and critics then years later saying they were making fun of the reader. If you tell a joke and everyone thinks it's decent poetry you're a poor teller of jokes and the joke is on you. Bright Bart fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Jun 24, 2023 |

Because I'm listening autoplay stirred something and I'm listening through O S right now. It's easier to like it without thinking the artists are condescending jerks even if I could probably swing enjoying it extra hard out toof spite.

The Kid A review actually rules. Stop hating on it. Pitchforks reviews were a lot more interesting when they were weirder. Every now and then a fun one sneaks through (their LDR reviews are all very good, the review for Chemtrails is an all timer). I went down a bit of a rabbit hole the other day and discovered their review for Elephant compares the white stripes to church’s fried chicken which is hysterical

All publications with a review staff are gonna be hit and miss and change over the years, it’s just the nature of criticism. Like right now Pitchfork has surprisingly good rap coverage that goes well beyond the most popular poo poo, and is no longer white_guy_talking_rap.txt, but that’s not because of the publication as a whole, just a few really good writers Having pubs like that is good even when they suck because the alternative is just hoping that a solo critic both gets popular enough to stick around and doesn’t start to suck when they get big
