  1. awakeohsleeper liked Jason Tate's post in the thread Movie Superman (James Gunn, July 11, 2025).

    Can David Corenswet Save Superman? The result is one of the most distinct superhero films in a long time, with a tone that feels honest and true to the spirit of Superman—and therefore at odds with pretty much everything else in the genre right now. Gunn’s approach is colorful, in both its palette and the costumes; proudly fantastical, with flying orbs, robots, portals, and giant monsters; and at times endearingly, intentionally corny (see: Krypto the super dog). But late in the third act, Superman delivers an impassioned monologue about himself that essentially states Gunn’s thesis about the character and his core values. You won’t find any controversial neck-snapping here. “There are things you have to hit about Superman that are indelible to the character,” Corenswet says. “The things we’re aiming for are the things that are truest and therefore most interesting about Superman, the things that set him apart from other heroes. The fact that he is essentially free from angst and turmoil internally. He’s a good guy who had a great upbringing, loving parents, has wonderful relationships with his friends, and a romantic relationship, and loves what he does. He doesn’t have the Batman thing of having lost his parents early and doesn’t feel the burden of this terrible city that he has to come and save. Metropolis is a wonderful, cosmopolitan almost utopia—it just happens to get invaded by Kaijus and other monsters and whatnot every now and then.”

    I was thinking the same thing about Turn Out The Lights Two phenomenal albums

    Streaming boost tactics. I’ve seen a few artists do this. Helps with streaming revenue and gives a boost to chart position.

    I’m glad we share the same favourite Anberlin song. Your voice suits this so much - absolutely great cover. Happy Birthday!

    Hope it's okay to post here, but I shared a cover of (part of) Dismantle. Repair on Instagram to celebrate my 32nd bday and 17 years since hearing Cities for the first time. This song feels so much more relevant to me now at my age than it did at 15. It's crazy. [MEDIA]

    A good read. At least he’s writing with RK in mind, even if there are no studio plans

    From Nashville to Alive Music Festival. Relient K on comeback trail Interesting tidbits from Thiessen in here. He says he’s been working on a lot of new songs, but as of now they have no plans to go into the studio…

    have you listened to "Please Stay"? that song aches, especially when read as a response to Julien's "Go Home".

    julien got me into the whole boygenius world and was, for quite a long time, the most important artist in my life. all three of her records came out at critical moments in my life. there’s a level of emotional attachment there that almost no one else can rival to this day. most of the music i listen to today doesn’t fully align with boygenius’ brand of indie anymore, but i will always have a soft spot for them and julien in particular.

    I know some people were kinda down on it, but I still really fuck with the Julien and Torres album from this year. I feel it will be largely overlooked on year end lists because it kind of came and went (especially since the tour had to be canceled), but it will definitely end up on my list.

    Turn Out The Lights > Home Video > boygenius EPs and album > everything else I’m guessing most people won’t share that opinion.

  21. awakeohsleeper liked Greg's post in the thread Accountability in Music.

    Personally, I view the accountability threads to be for when a person says or does something that they should be held accountable for. So, I’d say it doesn’t need to be posted here and could just be posted in an Olivia thread. But there’s also no harm in posting it here. Regardless, Olivia rules.

    [MEDIA] Olivia continues to lead by example at such a young age. Earlier this week there was a story that came out saying she prioritized the mental health of her band/crew and offered to pay for therapy visits on the road. Not sure if this should be posted in this thread, or just the Guts thread, but impressive stuff from her.

    Yup, it's from the Belasco. Being at that show for that moment was an all-time concert moment for me and having it immortalized on the Live CD is so freaking cool.

  24. awakeohsleeper liked Olyphantastic's post in the thread Band mewithoutYou.

    I’ll have to go back to check which songs, but the stage banter about the flowers and asking the audience if they have anything to say (and at least one of the songs that bookends said banter) is from the Toronto farewell date. EDIT: it’s Nice and Blue Pt. 2 and the subsequent stage banter. My wife also grabbed one of the flowers he’s talking about from the stage at the end of the show and pressed, preserved and framed it for me. But it’s a cockscomb not one of the calla lilies Aaron shouted out.

    I know Aaron played acoustic Cardiff Giant at the final show but I can't remember if he played it that way for other shows. *Edit* Just listened to my live rip of the final show and it's the same version

  26. awakeohsleeper liked Yourbiggestflan's post in the thread Band mewithoutYou.

    My live vol 1 records came in the mail this week and i really think it's one of the best packaging and presentations I've ever owned. There are just so many bonuses that came along with it. I really love piecing together what songs come from which shows. Anyone have any ideas on which shows are involved in the live compilations? I know Hayley sings on the Log Flume and i think that's from the LA show in '22 at the Belasco. I'm impressed with how well they flow despite being pieced together from various shows. I thought I saw these 3 volumes were pulled from three specific shows, but I'm not so sure if that's the case. I know they're from 2019 - 2022 shows but if anyone has more info, greatly appreciated!

    New song is both good and also a very strange choice as a lead single(?) Kinda the opposite direction I was hoping for (more pop anthems pls), but excited for a dreamy, ethereal album if that's where LP3 is headed
