He made an incredible album and on top of that his live performances are really good. He's making jazz quite accessible with his music.

How have we not talked about the new Mitski track? It's stunning

She's the best
I'm actually trying not to play the song so much that I wear it out before Puberty 2 is out. But it's hard

Big fan of this, also has anyone listened to any Day Wave? Loving this track and a few more on the EP he put out recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMOoNlD_bNg
Yeah, That Mitski track was around for few days and its sounds great. Can't what for the record although I really dislike the name of the album. Part 2? What?
Hmm might have to give him a listen then.

I think Puberty 2 is a good title, it's silly and self-effacing but also accurately encapsulates the themes of trying to grow into a mature 20-something and not always succeeding that are all over her music
Not as good as the Simpsons reference for the previous record though, that's for sure
If jazz really isn't your thing this probably won't change much. But I'd recommend a listen for sure.
really enjoying this band Urochromes. Really catchy rock/hardcore punk but the drums sound like they're half electronic and half real
Get in Line 4 Mental Decline is their debut and is in full on yt:
They've also got some great music videos, might be the best in:
"My Dickies"
"I Don't Wanna (Wanna Wanna) Be Me"

I'd heard and liked live versions of this song but the studio one is fantastic. decent video too

Yeah, pass. I can't even handle more than an hour long records, let alone 3 hours of a genre I know shit all about..
I suspect a lot of the attendees at the concert weren't thrilled by Washington's performance since not everyone likes jazz.
I was fucking stocked though since I hadn't looked up who the opener was going to be and I loved The Epic.
Plus this was out in Melbourne, Australia so it seemed unlikely it would be someone like him.

I'm surprised that Washington opening for Kendrick would be that much of a shock to concert goers. he was all over TPAB, which itself has a lot of jazz on it, so idk why the opener being a jazz musician would be baffling frankly
This upcoming LCD tour is going to be rough I think, I mean the band will probably be good but even when they do play a full tour outside of the 600 festivals they're headlining this year (but the reunion isn't about money remember) tickets are going to be hell to get. would rather just throw on the msg farewell concert lol

Probably the worst kept secret amongst the Stone Roses fanbase. The question was more of the when variety, but the answer now appears to be soon! New and original Stone Roses material in 22 years. It could be good, it could be bad. I'm just happy it's going to exist.

That's why I got tickets for the We Love Green despite not liking that festvial. Passes were still available and not too expensive. This way I'm sure to check them out on this tour with little hassle.

Am I the only one who just can't get into The Last Shadow Puppets? Doesn't help when I think Miles Kane is an absolute prick.

I mean I'll give it a few listens and they'll inevitably play at one of the festivals I'm at this summer but I didn't rate their last record and their singles so far haven't caught my fancy.
Out of the singles released I dig Aviation the most. Sounds the most like their first record and I really liked that one.

Goddamn, Dust is becoming my new favourite track from them, love the piano play!

I don't post in here very often (if at all) but I saw Savages last night at 9:30 club in DC. It was their first show of their US tour and they were fucking amazing. Just had to gush somewhere. Jehnny is an awesome performer.
Their opener was terrible though. Show wasn't sold out so I should've came a little later before the main act took the stage.

Can we talk about how excellent the new album from the Field is?
Because it totally works.

The Glastonbury lineup, so many bands/acts I wanna see
LCD Soundsystem, New Order, Sigur Ros, Foals, Last Shadow Puppets, Beck, PJ Harvey, M83, Savages, Explosions in the Sky, Hinds, Wolf Alice, Mercury Rev, Ezra Furman, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, St Ettienne and James all on my list. 17, not bad for only the first half of the announcement.

I have all them and Mac Demarco, Chvrches, Art Garfunkel and Savages. Still disappointed by the headliners, don't mind Muse and can get the appeal of Adele (She's a major scoop for the festival though not for me) but Coldplay is put a revolver to your head stuff.
I like Mac Demarco but I really hated him live. He really put me off him. He was just annoying. Shame that. Might watch Art Garfunkel actually, but Paul Simon made me fall asleep when I saw him (I literally fell asleep).
The headliners don't matter at Glastonbury.
Apart from those times when it was Arcade Fire or Radiohead. Or Springsteen, for that matter.
Glastonbury will just get any name out there. that line-up is no surprise. I personally think the headliners are boring, or I have seen them before, but again, I am not the target audience.
I remember Glastonbury being really good 3 years ago when they had Parquey Courts, Eagulls, Hookworms, Peace and Franz Ferdinand one after the other in one of the tents.

It sounds identical to the last record. I was really hoping for a change in beats and some growth, but I guess this is what they are going for.
Its good but I don't know how much more I can accept a band doing the exact same thing over and over again.

Only listening to the new Iggy Pop record for the first time, Gardenia's a tune
Sunday as well. The drums are so good.

If I'm not mistaken Matt Helden the drummer from Arctic Monkeys performed them. Quite a little supergroup on the album with him, Iggy and Josh.
