Saw Broken Social Scene for the 2nd time (first being at a festival in 2006) last night. They played a small-ish theater, which was wild considering there were like 9 or 10 members on stage at once at times. It was a sweet show, though. They played the majority of You Forgot It In People, which is an album I've loved for almost 20 years, so that ruled. I guess Leslie Feist and Emily Haines don't tour with them anymore. The vocalist was Jill Harris, and she did a good job, though I would've rather seen Feist/Haines do their vocal parts like they appear on the album.

Propaganda Hour posted:Went and saw Pixies + Modest Mouse + Cat Power at the Hollywood Bowl over the weekend. How was cat power? I don’t know if she digs in her back catalog at all but did she play cross bones style. I like her a lot, but from other fans I’ve heard stories of conflicting live performances.

No one really goes into detail retrospective wise but part of the reason the postal service was so special is the production and psych nature of it beyond the amazing hooks.

Just wanna add The National gig was amazing. In my old age I was up in the gods sat down but I had a great view and both the production/visuals and the performance blew me away. Fantastic set list with one or two nice surprises which I won’t spoil, but old school National tracks. Soccer Mommy was great too. Hope she is touring the UK properly so I can see her.

Waited in line in the rain and got into the listening party for the new Animal Collective album at Public Records. First off, the fidelity is bonkers on the album, they said they recorded the whole thing analog and man it sounded good on a topnotch HiFi system. The first half is really good; whatever song has "Magnolias" in it is going to be a new classic with the drums. However the second half is so meandering I was not thrilled with it. First half was magical.

Any recommendations on where to start with The War On Drugs? They're coming here with Spoon as a supporting act in December. I'm a huge Spoon fan and tossing up whether it's worth going along to see them and just never gave The War On Drugs a proper listen. Guess I've got a few months to change that though!

angrygodofjebus posted:Lauren Mayberry's solo album is gonna be mostly goth bangers and it owned. She also played a two hour dj set and I got to meet her afterwards. What a night. Her singing to Work It by Missy Elliot was a highlight. WHATEVER MAN I'm gonna see the Chats at the Vic Super jealous tho. And at one of my favorite venues. I saw tickets had been available and assumed it was too late (I was right)

T Bowl posted:Nah I mean, it's definitely a representative introduction. Unrelated: Did the Nation of Language come out earlier than scheduled. or something? I only follow a couple of music blogs anymore, but it seems like something they would have jumped on for a review or even a preview at this point.

I think they recently did a handful of you forget it in people playthroughs with everybody

the unabonger posted:Underscores has a new album out called Wallsocket and it's pretty good! Definitely has that underscores sound (the particular sound of voice modulation underscores uses is so distinctive and lovely), but goes in a more indie direction than pop, continuing the trend between fishmonger and fearmonger. I knew nothing about this band before the last couple of days but man I'm loving this album a whole lot. Just incredible all around, Locals (Girls like us) was an easy early favourite for me.

Saw Mount Eerie and Black Belt Eagle Scout over the weekend — one of the best shows I've been to in years, Phil's still got it. Mount Eerie as a three piece works really well, too. The person next to me got the set list but she let me take a photo.
