loving car seat headrest - teens of denial

6/7/2016 12:18:36 AM

it's definitely very good. I was hooked for a bit, but I don't know if I like it as most of my friends seem to. It's AOTY status for some of them.

The new Tiny Moving Parts album is enjoyable (RIYL American Football, Hotelier). I've always been lukewarm on them but it is by far their strongest release. That's what I've been listening to all morning so far. The new PUP album was solid too.

Hotelier album killed it though. I honestly think I might like Goodness better than Home now.

I've tried so hard to like the new Avett Brothers. There are a couple tracks that have grown on me; but overall, I'm incredible disappointed.

6/21/2016 3:42:03 PM

probably because avett brothers aren't that good.

6/21/2016 3:42:41 PM

Didn't see anyone post it, but Skepta's new album dropped last month.

It's 2016 and, against all odds, Every Time I Die is still putting out music that I enjoy. First track off the new album is killer.

6/21/2016 4:29:39 PM

Finally got around to checking out the new Mitski record and I really dig it. Went by way too fast.

6/23/2016 10:46:31 AM

Saw Guns N Roses last night in DC and it was an awesome show. If you get a chance to go see them, go. Axl can still hit the notes, and Slash is, well, Slash. Played for almost 3 hours and hit virtually every song you could want from them.

6/27/2016 3:57:58 PM

Angel Olsen may have just released the song of the year

it's so fucking good

6/29/2016 12:22:22 PM

car seat headrest definitely my aoty midway through the year. pumped to see them (and basically the entire CAM lineup on friday) at hopsotch.

[Edited on July 7, 2016 at 10:50 PM. Reason : .]

7/7/2016 10:49:59 PM

Shut Up Kiss Me is definitely my favorite song of the year

I'm a bit obsessed

7/7/2016 11:24:00 PM

i like it quite a bit. Not to the same extent you do but I definitely listened to it a lot that first week.

7/7/2016 11:27:08 PM

that is a good song.

7/7/2016 11:38:46 PM

I was in NYC for Memorial weekend and wanted to see a show at the Bowery. Saw Filligar was headlining and listened to some stuff on Spotify and thought they were ok so I went.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise opened for them and they were outstanding. Seriously great stuff. Half the audience left when they went off because apparently the show sold out for them. Filligar was crap compared to them. \

Really amazing live - it's way more high energy than their studio recordings.

Found out they were from Boone and so I went and saw them at Cat's Cradle two weeks later and it was an awesome sold out show. They played Festival at the Eno last weekend and they'll be back in town for Hopscotch too.

Highly recommend checking these guys out. Devil Like Me, Mr. Redundant, Cocaine Jesus, etc. are just a few great ones.

Y'all into Swedish or Icelandic hip hop? If so...

Beatslingers new EP Gött Mos! (3G) is good.

Herra Hnetusmjör's Bomberbois EP with Joe Frazier is alright, but I just can't take him seriously.

nah

7/9/2016 2:36:46 AM

^^i'll give it a shot.

Was digging on the Blood Orange record all weekend. I think it's a bit melodramatic at times maybe but there are some killer songs.

Caught Pinegrove and Sports last night too. Pinegrove sounded great.

7/11/2016 9:32:41 AM

digging the new kishi bashi song.

7/13/2016 5:06:50 PM

The Anohni album is my favorite of this year so far. Really good. The juxtaposition of her voice and the electionic bleeps, blips, and blops is sublime. That Obama track makes me laugh though everytime she says his name.

7/19/2016 12:16:48 PM

Other 2016 albums I've check out this year:

Bowie - Blackstar
Really good. Love the horns.

Explosions in the Sky - The Wilderness
Besnard Lakes - A Coliseum Complex Museum
I enjoy both of these bands but something felt lacking with the songwriting. Tracks were much shorter and didn't quite hit those highs. Besnard's Tungsten 4: The Refugee was a highlight.

Field - The Follower
A slight disappointment but only because because his previous two were 10s.

Kanye West - The Life of Pablo
I love Kanye the artist. I never know what to expect and I'm always left impressed. Despite all the hate the second half of Famous is sublime. The run of Waves-FML-Real Friends is great.

M83 - Junk
Sort of a train wreck but I can't look away. This is album is all over the place and probably my least favorite. Quite a departure from his Dead Cities and Before the Dawn sound which I miss.

Mogwai - Atomic
Not bad, not great. Good work music for me but nothing really stands out.

Shearwater - Jet Plane and Oxbow
Sounds like a much better Coldplay

Wolf Parade - EP
I just want another Sunset Rubdown album to be honest.

Yeasayer - Amen & Goodbye
I liked Silly Me but felt short and not as good as Odd Blood.

Woods - City Sun Eater in the River of Light
Big Woods fan. Lots of great tunes and love their pop-folk-rock sound.

Destroyer - Poison Season
I know this is from last year but I had to give a shout out to my favorite album of 2015.

7/21/2016 8:10:55 AM

stranger things soundtrack is great.

8/11/2016 6:11:38 PM

um. today's Omar Rodriguez-Lopez album is killer.

8/12/2016 1:45:35 PM

not sure how i feel about this new bon iver yet...

8/14/2016 9:39:56 AM

digging this LVL UP song...very neutral milk hotel sounding. def catching them at hopscotch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g2aW-2PB1I&feature=player_embedded

8/18/2016 8:44:50 PM

I'm really liking the new Bon Iver (at least what I've heard). I would love to see them in concert again, I saw them back in like 2011 or so and went into it not expecting much and was absolutely blown away.

8/20/2016 10:56:33 AM

^^ yeah it's good. I'll probably catch them with Alex G in a few months here.

8/20/2016 3:30:54 PM

I've been enjoying Schoolboy Q's Blank Face LP.

8/23/2016 8:23:25 PM

kevin morby - singing saw is turning into one of my favorite albums of this year.

8/31/2016 11:22:56 PM

I just want to say that the new Glass Animals album is really good

9/1/2016 12:31:21 PM

^^^ same. loving all the Anderson Paak guest spots this year in general too.

9/5/2016 10:54:08 PM

can't wait for his set at Hopscotch next Saturday

9/6/2016 1:09:59 AM

Anderson Paak? I didn't look at the lineup yet since I'm not in the Carolinas anymore. I really regret missing him again recently here.

Also, I had conflicting plans Friday and missed Baroness. However, the consolation prize was running into them at 1am at my neighborhood dive. Super fun dudes.

9/6/2016 3:10:09 PM

yep. at City Plaza.

9/6/2016 3:42:38 PM

Very nice. I've been all about him this year.

This week I've been enjoying the new-ish album from The Amazing. I've never been a fan - tried and didn't click. But this new record caught me off guard. I was in a record store this weekend and, with the song that was on when we walked in, my bro-in-law and I both could have sworn it was some Mark Kozelek material neither of us had heard. The album isn't great by any means but it definitely has that early Sun Kil Moon vibe on several tracks. Enjoyable mood music.

Also, going to see The Get Up Kids tomorrow. no shame.

i don't take date rape accusations lightly, but Cif82 does have good taste in music

9/9/2016 7:21:49 PM

Several new albums in the queue to check out.

Left & Right (thanks again thegoodlife3)
Ghost
Must Be the Holy Ghost
Cymbals Eat Guitars
Touche Amore
Preoccupations (meh)

Kishi Bashi should be on that list too.

9/16/2016 1:00:54 PM

can not stop listening to the LVL UP album, return to love. pure 90's goodness. nods to neutral milk hotel, pavement, weezer, dino jr.

9/17/2016 1:50:21 PM

^^^ really excited to listen to the Cymbals Eat Guitars album; just put it in the phone. I was listening to LOSE two weeks ago and was wondering when they were going to put something else out.

Not sure what to make of the new Bon Iver. I liked the song they performed on Fallon last week but haven't been crazy about the other tracks. I do like that he's trying to evolve his sound but the final product just not hitting me right.

9/19/2016 9:36:12 PM

yeah im going to see Cymbals Eat Guitars with Field Mouse and Wildhoney Saturday at a very small venue. Should be fun.

I'm still looking forward to the Bon Iver. I've liked a couple of the new tracks a lot and one of them didn't do much for me. But I'm sure I will enjoy it as a whole.

9/22/2016 3:47:56 PM

following up on the Cymbals show. It was at one of the smaller venues I go to in Dallas and it still didn't sell out. Very small crowd which was weird to me. But their set was super fun.

9/25/2016 1:56:15 PM

That Preoccupations album has grown on me quite a bit.

Really enjoying the new Oathbreaker today.

9/28/2016 2:48:18 PM

^yeah, i really dig it. have loved all their stuff going back to the women days. this is much more in line with women's sound than viet cong was.

9/28/2016 6:47:12 PM

Bon Iver album leaked. it is good.

9/29/2016 11:18:24 AM

Can someone help me determining a band? They were on NPR this morning around 8:45am, i caught the very end of it. A Girl and a guy, mainly just them and a guitar, had a song called Southern Son. Also had a song called something like Wild Fire, or maybe that was the name of the band?? They're playing around the triangle in late November.

9/30/2016 10:55:24 AM

I don't see anything like that - http://wunc.org/wunc-music-playlists#stream/0
