Tenterhooks posted:As someone said earlier, it's crazy that fans of RH can have such varying opinions on their records. HTTT has never totally clicked for me and the tracks you listed are, by and large, my least favourite on the album. I don't hate them at all (or HTTT), but seeing your list particularly illustrated the divide to me. I guess it's inevitable (and good) that a huge pile of material will appeal differently to different people. Punch up at a wedding has a sick bass line. I like that song. olin posted:Thom and Rachel Owen lived together for 23 years and had two children but they never married. They split up last year on "totally amicable terms" or some such. Really lovely for the kids; they have a 15yo son and a 12yo daughter.

They will continue to publish absurd misheard lyrics until Yorke starts to a) sing clearly or b) publishes all his lyrics. Ask Michael Stipe.

Pop music journalism is also usually really lovely but it's even worse on the web without editors.

Decades posted:Is this not just a general "listening to good music on lovely speakers thing"? When music is compressed and boosted to sound equally good across all media that's largely what I'd consider bad production. If it sounds good coming out of speakers built into a cooler it sounds good to my ears.

ZoDiAC_ posted:Rehash of In Rainbows tbh At least In Rainbows had rainbow colors and stuff, so it was thematically appropriate, and still a cool abstract image. So it kinda fills that "album art" cliche a little. Where Moon shaped pool has much cooler artwork visually, I think, and I guess it kinda hits some of the dreamy gauziness of the music, but it doesn't really help you understand what the album is about, if that makes any sense. Like the best album art doesn't have to be good "art", but it compliments the music and helps push the story more, so the music makes more sense because the art tells some of the story. Like this is perfect album art imo: http://imgur.com/SYtHxHJ

Earwicker posted:I listen to music in too many different places to get an accurate list like that, but I'm pretty sure my most frequently played song is Reckoner. It's not my absolute favorite but I like it a lot and listen to it most frequently because I was learning it on piano for a while. Good song.

This guy makes pretty good lists at least, with the links and everything's numbered. Do you do other lists now that youve got the bug? Best number of times to tap a doorknob before you open it?

My best festival experience was going to the gathering of the vibes a million years ago when it was literally a 10 minute drive from my house at the time. It was also before tickets became super tough to counterfeit so with a scanner and color printer I got to see tom tom club for free in a muddy field.
