I don’t know if it’s just because I’m getting old and nostalgic but the recent Regina Spektor album had me pick up her new album and I’ve been digging it.

Excited to see Sharon van Etten, Angel Olsen and Julien Baker this saturday. Anyone seen this tour? I've only really listened to Sharon..

Going on Friday. I’ve seen them all separately and they’ve been great so I’m pretty hype

Pissed off at this one. Like having a such a clean image, must have made it that much harder for his victims to come forward. gently caress him. And Regina for backing him up on it. Like that’s a poo poo situation to be in but it’s shittier for his victims.

And I saw Lucy Dacus last night. She puts on a great live show. I've seen her a few time and she's definitely an artist I'll always make sure to see.

I thought I had missed momma last month, but received an email the show was this week. So I signed up for the waitlist? which has paid off for me in the past but not holding my breath.

Saw pavement earlier this month and they were good. Brought out Kurt vile for Loretta’s scars.

I’m not a big Kurt vile fan, but now I’ve seen pavement and yo la tengo bring him up on stage, so 90s indie bands must love him

I'm gonna be so hosed financially but seeing them in 2017 was absolutely incredible and I didn't want the tickets to sell out :ohdear:

Never seen Jamie xx or IDLES before but I have seen Big Freedia and she's excellent live.

I am so tempted to blow money and travel to a Re:set show to see boygenius, but I've also got my fingers crossed they'll play Philly. Maybe headline XPNfest? Hell I'd take a free at noon.

Does Paramore belong in this thread? Their new album is out and it sounds more in line with this thread than the pop one. Hayley Williams even said this album sounds like Bloc Party (which I can kinda hear), who they're touring with in April. It's not my favorite album of theirs, nor do I think it's as good as Bloc Party's best stuff, but it might be worth checking out if a Bloc Party-influenced Paramore album sounds up your alley.

Yea that's kind of my take on it.It's not bad, and I don't dislike it, but it doesn't really grab me either. Pitchfork's 6.5 is pretty spot on, and even a little high by their standards

Martin's energy whenever he sings his tracks is so infectious. His songs live are guaranteed crowd pleasers. By the way, he was originally supposed to sing We Sink on their first LP. Here's a BBC Radio 1 session where he's singing the lead:

I've spun it a couple of times and I think the new pornographers record is pretty solid. Seems like they're going for a bit of an AM Gold vibe. I also like the new Hold Steady. I don't think either band has put out a bad record

As for Boy Genius...my record hasn't come in yet, so I haven't listened yet.

Yeah, basically sounds like half baked ideas that he couldn't find the right feel and lyrics for overall so he's just releasing them as is

Ryan adams did something like that 15 or so years ago and dropped a ton of albums of all kinds of different styles that were all pretty bad.

Also, saw the Mountain Goats last night. Great show but two observations:

1)I think the fans are having some sort of bingo thing with what songs are on the setlist, because some dude behind me would not shut the gently caress up about it.

2)After seeing that live version of This Year with craig Finn my brain really expects the song to now end with "and it almost killed me!"

Scored pre-sale tickets to the Japanese Breakfast/Hop Along Halloween show. I am disappointed it's at the Fillmore, and not Union Transfer, but what can you do.

And boygenius ticket acquired. Slowdive and boygenius back to back. Going to be a good concert weekend. Haven’t done two concerts back to back in a while so I’m very glad boygenius is seated

This year, I've really dug: caroline polachek, boygenius, the national, hold steady, new pornographers, carly rae jepsen, pj harvey, joanna sternberg , bell witch and wednesday. Still have Slowdive, blonde redhead, and mitski to look forward to.

I also haven't gotten around to feist or yo la tengo yet which I've heard good things about.

Pretty solid year for me, though a little weak on hip-hop. But I'm pretty out of touch on hip hop. I think tyler the creator, and young thug have new records out this year, and lil yachty did a prog album, but have yet to listen to any of them
