not even going to pretend I didn't enjoy this song.

The Get Up Kids + The Anniversary = old school get up kids? I got four minute mile vibes.

^pretty sure i saw them on a shared bill back in the day. might have been with hot rod circuit?

5/25/2017 10:24:48 PM

I was listening to Designing a Nervous Breakdown the other day... some of it is kind of cheesy but it's held up surprisingly well. they played at the old Kings right before they broke up, it ruled.

5/26/2017 3:14:52 PM

^i was at that show too. they were realllly drunk if i remember correctly (if i recall, the lead singer was playing guitar with a jack daniels bottle by the end). the aforementioned show at the ritz was much better.

i think you're right.

And yeah he was usually pretty dunk live haha. Designing For a Nervous Breakdown is indeed still an enjoyable album.

"all things ordinary" is still awesome.

5/26/2017 10:49:36 PM

the piano hook from "everything now" has been stuck in my head this entire weekend.

6/4/2017 4:29:20 PM

Planetarium is solid.

Really digging the Cigarettes After Sex full length (finally)

6/9/2017 12:36:37 PM

AMBER COFFMAN A+

6/9/2017 8:55:00 PM

this new Kevin Morby is pretty damn good

"City Music" is definitely a candidate for my song of the year

6/15/2017 2:13:38 PM

^ in queue. Decent list to get through this weekend:

Ride - Weather Diaries
Fleet Foxes - Crack-Up
Com Truise - Iteration
The Drums - Abysmal Thoughts
Hundredth - Rare
Kevin Morby - City Music
Lorde - Melodrama
Palehound - A Place I'll Always Go

6/16/2017 12:17:11 PM

"The Nashville Sound", new Jason Isbell is really good

[Edited on June 22, 2017 at 12:10 AM. Reason : .]

6/22/2017 12:08:06 AM

I really like "Abysmal Thoughts".

6/22/2017 2:21:31 PM

me too. Are U Fucked is one of my favorite tracks.

Digging the new Chelsea Wolfe song. Lukewarm on the new Turnover song.

6/22/2017 3:45:17 PM

kind of obsessed with this new alvvays song.

6/23/2017 8:40:28 PM

it rules

was legit worried they weren't ever gonna release a second album before they released that jam

6/24/2017 1:48:20 AM

New 2 Chainz and Vince Staples.

6/24/2017 7:26:22 AM

Pure power metal cheese. No shame in my game. Crank it!

6/24/2017 5:41:03 PM

the new war on drugs song "holding on" is really well done. the production is super crisp and there are some really intricate transitions.

6/29/2017 9:20:41 PM

St. Vincent back dropping MF bombs

6/30/2017 12:27:28 AM

Man i love her, but this song was just ok to me. Don't get me wrong, I like it. But it seems like something i will enjoy on the album more than as an individual track - especially as the first song to hear off of one of my most highly anticipated albums this year.

6/30/2017 12:15:28 PM

Have you seen the outfit she is wearing on the album art for the new stuff? Dear Lord.

6/30/2017 1:35:36 PM

new arcade fire is looking to be super dance-able. grooving to this new track.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dx4IAD1NLo

6/30/2017 9:46:00 PM

give everything now at least 3 all the way through listens before forming an opinion. it's a grower.

7/26/2017 9:44:55 PM

the backlash to it has been one of the least surprising things ever. it's a fine album.

I'd love to read one review that doesn't mention the promo that came before it, though

7/28/2017 1:01:13 PM

yeah these songs will be a ton of fun to see live.

7/28/2017 6:49:42 PM

i mean it's ok to me. gave it a couple spins and it didn't do much for me. I don't have much negative to say about them, theyve just never quite been my thing as a whole, despite liking bits and pieces of the first 3.

7/28/2017 9:42:22 PM

this is tremendous.

Creature Comfort has been in heavy, heavy rotation for me. I dig it. Some other songs are instantly forgettable.

Someone on AV Club mentioned:

If Arcade Fire had somehow released the best works off Reflektor with the best works of Everything Now the album would have rivaled Funeral in their catalogue but for completely different reasons. Make this playlist:

1) Everything Now
2) Reflektor
3) Here Comes the Night Time
4) Electric Blue
5) Afterlife
6) Put Your Money On Me
7) We Exist
8) Creature Comfort
9) It's Never Over
10) Porno
11) We Don't Deserve Love
12) Supersymmetry

Yea, that's a classic.

8/11/2017 3:22:08 PM

it'd be good, but it wouldn't touch Funeral

Funeral is a perfect album

Everything Now is a really, really good song. always liked it, but something clicked recently for me.

8/11/2017 3:25:40 PM

^^good playlist. those are pretty much the only reflektor and everything now songs they seem to be playing live.

i made this playlist a few weeks ago. picked my favorite 3 songs from each of their 5 albums and arranged them in order of how i'd want to see them live.

https://open.spotify.com/user/scubasheteve/playlist/74naTZEWxq03Tk3BWiTvjF

8/11/2017 6:03:12 PM

I really like Everything Now (the song and music video). Am I just some old dude trying to stick up for a band past it's prime?

I don't think so. I mean I got tired of Pearl Jam after Vitalogy and loathed Weezer.

8/12/2017 11:00:12 PM

That's a shame, cause the Jack Iron-era Pearl Jam (Mirrorball/No Code/Yield) is the best.

8/15/2017 3:03:20 PM

listened earlier and the album is getting better with each listen

8/15/2017 3:10:44 PM

the song Alvvays put out earlier today ruuuules

8/17/2017 1:36:58 PM

agreed. the latest LCD Soundsystem single grew on me a lot too.

8/17/2017 5:12:10 PM

^^i don't know if i like it as much as the first two singles. "in undertow" is close to my favorite song to come out this year. looking forward to the album for sure.

still feeling out this new LCD song...

8/17/2017 7:44:10 PM

the next few weeks of releases are ridiculous: grizzly bear, LCD, the national, alvvays...

8/17/2017 7:48:28 PM

the new one took a listen and a half to supplant "In Undertow", and I absolutely love "In Undertow"

8/17/2017 9:04:28 PM

I'm more of an Undertow man myself.

8/17/2017 10:53:21 PM

Brand New released an album last night/today

probably not most peoples musical preference but it has been 8 years since the last album

8/18/2017 9:45:31 AM

the single they released last year was really damn good, and the bastards didn't even play it when I saw them with Modest Mouse last summer

8/18/2017 11:16:23 AM

none of the three are on this release

8/18/2017 11:29:58 AM

Its not on spotify either

8/18/2017 2:47:48 PM

that's annoying

8/18/2017 3:39:16 PM

new grizzly bear is reinforcing why i love grizzly bear so much. this may my favorite track from the awesome new album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwxtEYZq19g

8/20/2017 5:36:04 PM

Brand New is on Spotify now FYI

8/20/2017 5:51:38 PM

ok "plimsoll punks" is pretty awesome.

8/21/2017 10:44:46 PM

A friend of mine turned me on to Froth recently...Outside (Briefly) is pretty fucking badass.
