The point is that working with one band full-time doesn't mean the other band doesn't exist. It just means you can't do two tours at once.

making a living as a musician is also Really Fucking Hard, so staying busy is kind of important

just saw the official video for coffee, and I'll give them major props for the opening contra dancing scene.

Looking forward to Friday. Looks like it sold out.

3/30/2015 4:40:31 PM

I have a ticket to Sylvan Esso AND Alt-J on Friday. I will probably sell my Alt-J ticket. Maybe on TWW.

I love this new track they wrote for an episode of Radiolab.


Here's a link to the full Radiolab episode:
http://www.radiolab.org/story/elements/

They wrote the song for a girl with bipolar named Jamie. The backstory is pretty neat. After hearing that story behind the song, I wanted to pay closer attention to the song lyrics. So here's my attempt at transcribing those, probably not perfect:

Quote :

"jamie’s song it’s not me you’re talking to gently dancing in my room through the light beam arc i’m all stops and starts i’m all space and stars i’m a brilliant machine composed of softer beings (?) compassion ache, scale bends and sways another nova on the way though the constant feels constant, i’m breaking up the choices i make will all fade to dust while the metal is shifting i’m waking up i remember, i remember what i thought i was it’s not me you’re watching move slam dancing round my room faster, faster til i bloom keep on blooming, keep on blooming. dragging me down though i keep moving keep on blooming, keep on blooming. dragging me down though i keep moving though the constant is constant, i’m breaking up. as i grow i’m so tired that i’m too beat to stop while the metal is shifting, i’m breaking up i remember, i remember what i thought i was keep on blooming, keep on blooming (oh yeah) dragging me down though i keep moving. "

I really dig the song, it's up there with my favorites from them.

I just listened to that today. i had never heard of them before but really liked that song. Remind me of LCD Soundsytem a bit (as someone who doesnt listen to much LCDS)

9/17/2015 7:00:58 PM

are any of their new songs on the internet anywhere?

Anyone have artist presale code for this show?

DIEYOUNG

But it's general admission and it's a big field in the middle of nowhere, so I don't think a sellout is an immediate worry.

looking forward to their DPAC shows this month!

who else is?

11/1/2019 1:09:41 AM

They're doing a WITH tour streaming show next Thursday, but I don't understand why they're pushing "watch parties with your friends" given the orders in place

viewing parties on Zoom have been a thing during this

I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt

When all you have is a hammer...

5/22/2020 1:46:52 PM

...make shitty music with that hammer?

5/22/2020 2:55:34 PM

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M REFRENCING

5/22/2020 4:45:33 PM

If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning

5/22/2020 7:28:17 PM

You hammer with every post

5/23/2020 2:50:38 AM

I was never a big fan but i’ve been listening to and enjoying the WITH album a lot. Guess they really are better live?

5/23/2020 11:17:53 PM

that album is great but unlike any of their live shows before that mini tour

musically, their live shows are pretty much all the same, it’s just she’s a star who is a joy to see perform live

5/23/2020 11:33:36 PM

Yes that tour was something special. I saw both nights at DPAC, one night in the 2nd row.

Maybe they'll keep some elements of the larger band? Probably not but it would be cool.
