Oh he was at this particular show too and he did that beer in hand as well. Usually a bottle.

I’m disappointed that there aren’t more albums with Kurt Dahle drumming on because his drums on Twin Cinema are just so good. Bleeding Heart Show and Stacked Crooked especially.

Oh hell yeah. Those fills and sheer energy is burned into my brain. Classic poo poo.

I was talking with a friend today about how we didn't care for the latest Janelle Monae album from last year (?), how it sounded so generic, like anyone could have put it out. Which got me thinking about how the only time I ever saw her live was back in 2010 when she toured with Of Montreal. Janelle was definitely the lesser known act, and apparently there was a lot of drama behind the scenes. But she was just so incredible live.

That was my third time seeing Of Montreal, and the first two times were just so incredible, it was shocking to see how bad they were. They were touring I think for maybe False Priest? Not a great album, not terrible, but they had these giant papier mache goldfish on stage doing interpretive dance, and it was weird. I kind of lost all interest in Of Montreal after that, although Hissing Fauna is still a wonderful album.

I went to the Just Like Heaven festival at the Rose Bowl this weekend, I realized it was my first festival since Sasquatch 2007. I had an amazing time.

Since the lineup was mostly artists that were at their peak around 2005 to 2010, the crowd was also full of people who were also likely at their peak around 2005 to 2010. I didn't feel old, and everybody's fashion made sense to me.

It was bizarre, the first artists went on right at noon, but they didn't actually let anybody into the festival grounds until noon, so as we walked in, they were playing to an empty field. Felt bad for them. Also drink prices sucked, ranging from $15 to $30 depending on what you ordered, but also I'm old with a real job now, so I can afford it now.

We ended up seeing The Go! Team, CSS, Warpaint, Broken Social Scene, Washed Out, Alvvays, Passion Pit, Death Cab for Cutie, and Phoenix (who were joined by Ezra Koenig for a few songs). We ended up leaving early before War on Drugs and Postal Service because we were flat out exhausted after standing in the sun all day. But everybody was great. Some of the bands were currently on tour, others it seems like they came out of retirement to play just this festival. CSS said it might be their last show ever. Phoenix announced that they were going home to record a new album.

Definitely something I'll want to check out again in the future if they continue with the elder millennial nostalgia vibes.

The venue is extremely unfortunate. I guess if you're playing 4 nights in a row your options are limited but yeah. But I'm glad the setlist is looking like a good dance party for us white mid 30's folks. The last few times I've seen them were at festivals, so even if it's the Aragon will be nice to see them at a club again.

Its the reprise, which does seem to be influenced by the version on The Avalanche. But the show also features a normal version of Chicago that is featured in many of the trailers for the show.

I’m completely stoked to finally see Slow Pulp in November. I caught the last ~2 songs of their set when they opened for Alvvays a couple years ago (it was a late show and the line to get in wrapped around the block). Then last October I had tickets to see them on a Sunday night but ended up having an interview the next morning, so I made the painful decision to opt out. I love this band and it’s a long time coming.

What I’m most excited about though is seeing Waxahatchee down in Charlottesville this September. Our seats are center stage, row 4 and I’m not sure how to prepare for the experience. She’s written some songs that are very meaningful to me and my fiancée (who will be my wife then!).

Woah we might be at the same shows this year. I'm going to the Waxahatchee show in Vienna, VA. Congrats on the marriage!

I think we're pretty far back at the Waxahatchee show. A far cry from when I saw her 10 years ago this year at the Ukrainian Cultural Center in LA and could just go right up to the stage. I'm not the most perceptive person, but at the time I could tell she was going through it at that show and when the stuff about her relationships and substance issues came out later in the decade, it made a lot of sense. She toured like every year so I would see her about every year and the change over time was so great to see.

I moved out of the area a month ago otherwise I would have gone. I saw Postal Service/DCC last year at the bowl and I was blown away. The whole place chanting "everything will change" feels like church is supposed to feel.

I checked the setlist and my FOMO was mitigated because Broken Social Scene didn't play Swimmers. I cried just watching someone's recording of it from like 2009.

Looking at their discography, I tried with the three after that, and haven't listened to any of the 7-8 after that.

I saw them live later than you, and have absolutely no memory of seeing them. So it wasn't memorable. Or I have a bad memory. Take your pick.

well i must say i also listened to the Of Montreal album and i dont remember a single bit of it. not like i was distracted while listening, i sat on the couch and sketched. but nothing got me. and being completely fair to them i think there was a cool audio direction taken by their recent I Feel Safe With You Trash. especially individually Aries Equals Good Trash. real trashy. and i think the first four songs on Ur Fun are actually pretty good. then the album goes to hell but whatever.

point is each album i listen to by Of Montreal there always still seems like a spark of something, like if the band gave enough a poo poo they could really hone in on their sound, but each release they don't really. one or a few good songs if any. and this time, there's nothing. goddamn it's like they just don't give a poo poo. like we know you can do better, clearly better than this. i could come around to the album but ahhhhh dont think so

of Montreal were my favourite band in the world from roughly 2007 through to 2016. For me, Satanic Panic through to Lousy with Sylvianbriar are brilliant. Hissing Fauna and False Priest were the peak. But after that, especially from Ur Fun onwards, I feel like they’re not making music for me anymore.

Kevin can still write a pop song. Soporific Cell off the latest album is proof of that. But the rest of the music is so cluttered and messy and the vocals so dull that I tune out almost immediately.
