Bleachers - s/t (March 8, 2024) • Page 16

The lyric in "Jesus Is Dead" got me to check out Longwave, and The Strangest Things is really good.

 

Honestly, Longwave is fantastic. they have a semi-recent album from 2019 that is very good as well

 

Finally

 

Bro the Wonder Years?!

 

Been Stellar is kinda an amazing band name

 

Okay definitely have to go. TWY, bleachers and the Japanese house is soooo good

 

The more I listen to this, the more certain I am that it's my favorite thing Jack has ever done. Something about it is just so poignant to me.

 

I know this is such a longshot but if anyone did happen to have an extra ticket to Bleachers at Salt Shed in Chicago and wanted to make me a very happy person... you know what to do. I can't believe I'm facing a $200 ticket to see Bleachers.

 

There’s a digital deluxe version of this coming this month…vinyl bonus tracks are on it.

 

GOOD because my vinyl rips I have sound so terrible

 

I’ve gone back to this a ton, but it falls off quite a bit for me in the last third. Up through Isimo it’s excellent and Call Me After Midnight is one of my favorites, but a lot of that last handful of songs feels forgettable to me. Hope they grow on me at some point.

 

didn't have plans to get tickets, then my brother in law texted me 30 min before it went on sale and said we should go, so here I am with tickets to their LA show in Sept. LET'S GOOOOOOO

 

Saw them both weekends of coachella and they were a top 5 set each weekend. Unreal good

 

Two legends

 

Pretty interesting interview.

Jack mentions that “We Are Young” was almost a Jay-Z/Kanye song. Wild!

 

More Bleachers coming…

 

includes all vinyl only and Japanese bonus tracks

 

a lot of them are pretty bad, but will be nice to have them in good quality

 

Yea, with the exception of Margo, these are bonus tracks for a reason

 

Very excited to have "Margo" in high quality, and also "The Backwards Heart".

 

Yeah, "Margo" is very cool and could have easily found a place on the album. He definitely made the right call with the rest of these, and I'm not even sure "Drug Free America" should have made the cut for the B-sides release.

 

Oh wow, some of these are…uh, wow

 

yeah most of these are a miss for me
