Yeah I'm all good now. I was up in the balcony, nowhere near the speakers, so lord knows how the people down there were feeling!

So there's a bunch of rumours that Bowie will release another album on his birthday (coincidentally also mine)

Well, a jazz krautrock record could be pretty interesting.
Shit yes, this sounds like what I wanted The Next Day to be. Weird Bowie is best Bowie.

Just found this thread. Been listening to a bunch of indieish stuff recently that I thought people here might be interested in:
Mihra - Adventus (a friend of mine's band) kind of a jazz/soul sound
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pinZjE9SUM
Sleeping in the Aviary - Girl in the Ground (favourite song from my favourite album from one of my favourite bands)
https://sleepingintheaviary.bandcamp.com/track/girl-in-the-ground
Sahara Beck -C'mon Man You're Dead (kinda poppy acoustic stuff)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtKzQltW39U
I'm assuming dumping links in here like this is cool, can never quite tell what's on/off topic on GAF sometimes. Been enjoying looking through the thread and finding music.

I'm still completely obsessed with the new Brandon Flowers album. It's about as good as pop albums get. Lonely Town and The Way It's Always Been are just phenomenal. Top 5 album of the year for me

found this new Eartheater album on cool Chicago label Hausu Mountain super interesting this morning. psych-folk with some drone and downtempo electronic and ambient sounds. constantly morphing songs. Worth a listen:

Clicked for the Hausu reference, stayed for the music.
That's a really really cool record. Thanks.
On a different note: Which people here on Gaf are all going to Le Guess Who? I got tickets but will probably have to stroll through all those awesome bands on my own, so if anyone feels like sharing a drink at some point Im all for it
I'm going, all days for the first time. Can't wait for the timetable.
I love the first few records of The Killers, but they did go downhill fast. Solo Flowers never really impressed me.

Was planning to but all sort of set backs appeared this month so I'll have to pass.
Hopefully next year!

The Killers are probably the apex of bands who fell off early. The first half of Hot Fuzz is significantly better then the rest of their discography put together.
You really should put LGW? on the top of your priorities list for next year m8, it will be awesome.
Hopefully I can scrape out some money down the line to meet up in London again. Jabberwocky was such a perfect excuse, both line-up as price wize. It's too bad Field Day is so close to Best Kept Secret every year, that would be a nice festival.
Really enjoyed Best Kept secret so I am all for it next year, hope the line-up is as awesome as this year's. Was planning to come LGW since one of my friends was going to it, but yeah, I had to spend alot this month.
I heard bad things about Field Day, with people being pricks and the atmosphere being all over the place, so I am definitely skipping that.

It's Hot Fuss, think you're getting mixed up! Haha.
I actually agree, I think Hot Fuss is their best album by far, but Sam's Town also has some great tracks. The rest of their stuff is pretty mundane in my opinion; Sawdust was just bad versions of their other songs...

Bloc Party is kind of in the same category.
Oh fuck yes

How are you guys digging the new Deerhunter? I've only listened to it once and nothing outside of couple tracks grabbed me. Could be a grower tho, love the band too much to dismiss anything without many more listens.
Oh and the new Grimes track is magical.

St. Lucia put out a new song on Friday - Dancing on Glass (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgIxDprhU_4). Love their debut album.

lol yeah. I could never shit talk the back half of Hot Fuzz, that shit is genius.
Weird, when I saw them the venue was totally packed.
That's amazing. If tickets don't sell here in the US, the venue is generally just really empty. I've never seen a firesale like this unless it's a major band and then they might go like half price on a daily deals website. Never anywhere approaching nothing though. Lucky you!
They're quite good live.
The venue seems maybe too big for them considering they havent got a lot of hype in France, also they already played here this year and it's only 3 days after Pitchfork Paris so yeah they have to fill that room.
That discount is also ran by some organisation that has a partnership with the venue. Most of time when sales are low venues here do a buy 1 get 1 free.

Really? I think the second half of Hot Fuss is really strong. Believe Me Natalie and On Top especially. Agree though that everything after Sam's Town bar one or two tracks on Sawdust is piss.

tbh that's about as much as I'd pay to go seep purity ring. Were really low energy when I saw them this summer, too much focus on their weird crystals.

Missed the chance to see Braids at a warehouse show in Ottawa this summer, probably my biggest regret of the year.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I disliked it so much that I actually skipped through a number of the tracks before they were even over something that I virtually never do.
I guess there's just so much other stuff to listen to that I don't really have the patience to try and commit to just one record, especially since I love the earlier stuff they put out. I just don't really like the new direction, and that's fine.
Wow, Situations like this is unthinkable to me, let alone to Purity Rig.
I once once saw them 6 years ago in a venue with only 40 people and was magical. Although, I was never fan of their music, their performance was just something extraordinary to me.
Fuck, they are playing the same night as Yak and I am still deciding which one to go, this comment is making it even more difficult

Closer to it than Monomania, yeah, but much less desirable to me. :\
The Japanese House have dropped a new track. Its certainly more ethereal live, her vocals just encapsulates space. Its produced by Matty Healy and
George Daniel of The 1975 and sort of shows.

Love it. Can't wait for the EP.

Not really it's some weird middle ground that combines the least exciting aspects of both eras. It doesn't have the hazy lo-fi psychedelic influences of Cryptograms or Weird Era.

Any Mutemath fans? The new album comes out next month, and their 2016 US tour tickets go on sale today, this band is awesome live, can't wait till February.

Spending my Halloween eve seeing Best Coast this weekend, should be fun
I'm seeing them tomorrow. Should be alright. I saw some dislike for them on here a while back, but i find them a fun listen.

Yeah, really liked their first album "Crazy for You" and their EP's before that. "Only Place" was a decent listen but their newest LP was pretty awful. Still looking forward to it.

I had a good time when i saw them last month, but i wish they played more stuff from Fade Away
already excited for a record coming in March 16: La Sera announced a new ryan adams-produced LP, along with officially transitioning from a "Kickball Katy" solo project to a duo. I knew this guy did lead guitar on her last record Hour of the Dawn, and so shares a lot of the responsibility for it being so kickass, but apparently they were also just married. Song has them trading vocals and it sounds good!

I loved Hour of the Dawn so much. One of my favorite records of last year.
Not sure how I feel about the male vocals, but I think I might just be disliking the guy because he stole my waifu.
Guessing this will also be of interest to some: Animal Collective teamed with a scientific art org called Coral Morphologic to put a 23 minute improvised jam (from their first practice in prepping for the new album) titled "Michael, Remember" to footage of an underwater sanctuary in the Gulf of Mexico. performed by the Danse Manatee/Hollinddagain/MPP lineup of Avey, Panda and Geologist. (I'm hoping it sounds like Hollinddagain.) Deakin filmed some of the footage with Geologist though.
