Sister, Daydream Nation and Nurse for me.
Absolutely one of my all time favourite bands. Some absolutely incredible stuff in their catalogue.
The Eternal is their last album. Its good, but I thought it was the worst of their late work.

Depending on the day it's either Sister, or EVOL, or BMR
Yeah. I can't chose one.
Or Daydream.
Or Wahsing Machine.

Erik Petersen of Mischief Brew passed away. I just saw them play with World/Inferno and Culture Shock just last Friday. Really heartbroken by this. 2016 is the worst...
Goo is probably the best entry point. Get on it! Band's a revelation.
I mean, seriously
Even Kim Gordon's vocals can't ruin it.
I really like the new Against Me! song...

New Deerhoof is great. Criminals of the Dream might be my favorite song on it. I kinda wish I preordered it so I could've got the cassette of cover songs they did.
Speaking of Wilco, I recently heard that album Tweedy that came out a few years ago and it's got some good stuff on it. It's Jeff and his son I believe.

Anyone excited for the new Alter Bridge album coming out soon?
So I have been chatting with some members of Hooton Tennis Club and the early word is that the new Wytches album is AMAZING. Can't wait!
Just started listening bit of GOO. Its great, but their catalogue is just too overwhelming to me. Way too many to consider.

See Japanese Breakfast fully! Just found out she's opening for Porches in his September tour. I already had a ticket, so that was ridiculously convenient. Here are details on the full tour: https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/07/japanese-breakfast-porches-tour-music-video.html
I am seeing Japanese House in October and Let's Eat Gran, so I wouldn't feel bad if I miss their performance this one time.
For me its gonna be
Dream Wife < Japanese Breakfest (Half) < Pumarosa < Ulrika Speck < Cate le Bon < Bleached < Genghar < Anna Calvi
the running will not be fun for me at all.
NPR has uploaded a few concerts they records on the Newport Folk Festival.

Father John Misty's "Real Love Baby" has been officially released.
Apparently he stormed off a gig after just playing 2 songs last week.
That would have pissed me off.
Actually Pitchfork said he went on a long ass rant about the entertainment industry instead of playing songs. I don't think he stormed off. They also reported he turned down $200k from Chipotle to do a song.
I'm seeing him next month in Portland with Malkmus. I don't know Father John too well but I'm warming up to him.
Woof. That is not a small sum.

Meh, saw him a couple of weeks ago at Longitude, thought he was fine. Much preferred Courtney Barnett who was on before him.
I went to a radio dept gig last month and I was extremely disappointed. Half of the music was played on pre-recorded tracks. They couldn't afford to hire a couple touring musicians?
Hmm, That sucks. I saw them in a festival in Oxford last year (or was it a year before that?) and they were all there performing along with a crew and all. It was very picturesque performance with lights and projections coming in and out and I thought they were alright (Didn't like the music itself)
I wonder if the issue was at certain dates.
Probably. They don't like to tour so they might not have a regular crew for smaller gigs.
But whatever, I've always liked their music so I don't mind supporting them despite the disappointing performance.
Definitely over appreciated when there are so many better modern folk artists that do everything better than him imo

It was the 15th anniversary of The Strokes "Is This It" yesterday. You can be sure I played that record 10 times back to front. Still timeless and refreshing as ever
New Two Door Cinema Club track: Bad Decision
Very 80s. love it. Can't wait for the album.
Amazing record. Up there with the best.
Too bad everything they put out is shit.

Good thing that the EP only has three tracks.
Threat of Joy is a Strokes top 5 track.
Honestly, I enjoy First Impressions diversity a lot. It even manages to maintain some coesion. What came after that was too aimless, but still with a couple good tracks. Julian solo albums were a blessing.
The Strokes are one of my favourite bands ever, but it's mostly based on Is This It and Room on Fire. I was obsessed with those albums when I was a kid and was a huge fanboy of the band. Everything after Room on Fire has been disappointing for me. Not that their haven't been any good songs after RoF, but the albums pale in comparison imo.
Is This It was a really important album personally. I didn't put a ton of thought into music as a kid past what my friends listened to on the radio or what my mom played in the car but that started to shift after hearing Is This It. Really that and the first Gorillaz album in 2001. Is This It connected me to The Strokes' influences and older rock in general (Velvet Underground, Television, Stooges, Stones, etc.) and Gorillaz had all those collaborations that branched out into different genres like underground hip-hop + Damon Albarn which got me into 90's Britpop (and that led me to even older British music like The Smiths and The Jam and whatnot). Really so much that can be traced back to those two albums.

You are not kidding.
How could I still be surprised
Oh mighty man of war
How we tether together
I know you make a fool of me forever

Sincerly hope that it's the odd one like Disco / Very.
