The only really good day is Saturday and there are conflicts galore. Why not put a few good ones on Sunday or Friday?

I need to give the new one more listens before I could rank it with respect to the other ones, but I'm surprised to see people not liking Contra that much. I really enjoyed that album. Father of the Bride has about a half dozen excellent tracks and the rest of it can gently caress off into the sun. At some point I need to just remove the offending tracks from my library and then pretend like it was always just a great EP.

I love Contra and it's my fav Vampire Weekend just based on vibes I guess?

I heard Hot To Go a few months ago and was like hey that's nice then immediately forgot about it. Youtube recommended My Kink is Karma about a month ago and I've listened to it or watched the video at least once a day ever since. I'm glad for her success because it seems she's gone viral on tiktok but it also means resale on her concert tickets is like +$400 now :(

New Vampire Weekend is out, and it's decent. Big improvement over the last one just by virtue of not having Koenig and Haim's mediocre attempt at country music scattered throughout.

I've never really got Vampire Weekend and this album is the same to me, songs are jolly enough but leave me cold really.

Then again I don't really like The National either for the same reason. On paper I should love them, but nah.

I got tickets for Krankenhaus Festival and the first wave of acts have been announced.

this and the preceding track blew me away on her coachella set - the rest of the set and this album sound a little more like what i was expecting (which is still good! always thought alabama shakes were underrated!), but these two tracks, drat

What the HELL is this guitar tone and how does one go about achieving it

I think there's some guitar synth he's running through, bit of googling found someone saying it was an old VG-8? That one recalls a special pickup though, and I can't tell if one is installed.

e: Oh hey here's someone trying to figure it out:

2e: Yeah it seems like from the second one it's not a synth at all? Wild. Very interesting sound though.

Menomena has dropped a new EP, their first new music in 12 years.

They're secretly one of the greatest.

Edit: Apparently the songs are all old, and part of a Spring re-issue campaign. Which is good news. Their vinyl records are difficult to obtain secondhand, and typically go for a lot of money. I can finally complete my collection.

Speaking of...



The Just Like Heaven festival just announced their set times, and BSS is down pretty low on the list, and only allotted 40 minutes, which is shocking to me. Surely they're bigger than Passion Pit, Metric, Miike Snow, and War on Drugs, no?

Monthly Spotify listeners:

BSS - 500k
Metric - 3.4 million
Passion Pit - 2.3 million
WoD - 1.7 million
Miike Snow - 1.5 million

They had one highly rated hipster record 20+ years ago.

If you're going by popularity I think Warpaint might poll higher than BSS as well.

man usually these sort of one-day festivals have way too many conflicts to make them worth the price and you only end up seeing 1/3 of what you'd like to see, but this one's easy as hell

CSS, Gossip, Sleigh Bells, Tegan and Sara, Phantogram, Alvways, a little bit of Passion Pit, dinner, a little bit of Metric, Death Cab, Phoenix, listen to what you can make out of War on Drugs from the other stage while holding a spot for Postal Service, Postal Service

also is this a reunion show for Miike Snow? I had no idea they were still making music and/or touring?
