The new mixes are an improvement on the old ones. Still not perfect or as clean as the newer stuff they've done but better. That said, The Strokes is a good band and Dogleg is a good band. I'm happy that Dogleg went away from that sound. also massive thanks to @jordalsh for hooking me up with the new mixes!
Livestream commentary thing that 2 members of Dogleg did with 2 members of Glass Beach for Melee, album stream starts around 52 minutes in, before that is just interview and goofing around -
Very weird and I won’t quote it or anything, but he did use those words “aggressively mediocre” in a post like…5 months ago? Still, if that’s what this is about, very strange for the band to bring it up and even weirder that some random Twitter user dug it up.
I see where that was said in the emo thread but I don’t think they were singling out @Leftandleaving with that tweet. I could see that if it had anything to do with that post it’s that topshelf records dude liked it.
Yeah I think it's more of this. "seeing people i very much look up to in music agreeing with how" agreeing is the key word there. By Topshelf liking that post they are agreeing with that statement.
This is weird, everybody! I just thought it was funny that chorus got namedropped. Didn’t mean to turn this into detective work!
I'm sorry but it's a little bit weird to me to take that much offense to a single post on a message board (unless there's other stuff I'm missing)
I don't think it's detective work. Look at the post that leftandleaving wrote. Then look at who liked it: topshelfsquad It's rather odd that dogleg just now found the post to me.
I get where he is coming from but also this is a music forum where lots of different opinions are posted. I don’t know if saying these people can’t have certain opinions or get a bit outraged over them is a fair thing to say.
I mean like I absolutely understand the sentiment of putting your heart into something and being disappointed when it is called "mediocre." But like... they got BNM, you know? Wouldn't that outweigh a single negative post on a relatively small forum?
i get it but also, like, they should kind of be above looking up posts on a forum haha. they were one of the most celebrated bands of the last year. literally every band has someone out there that thinks they’re mediocre.
