Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher (June 19, 2020) Album • Page 53

Are you reviewing this?

 

Went for a seven mile walk today coulda listened several times efff

 

Do we know Graceland Too is about Julien?

 

i don’t like julien’s music :/

 

damn you think you know someone

 

I have never listened to her thoroughly.

 

not to pit them against each other but i probably enjoy her least of the three boygenius members

 

Haven't listened to Lucy's solo work a ton

 

bangs

 

Will not stand for any slander to one of the most emotive vocalists alive today.

 

not slandering at all. i said i enjoy her least. i hardly said i hated her.

 

She’s talented for sure, and I enjoy her lyrics/voice but I only like a few songs of hers. I normally enjoy the first 2 on her albums and then start to want more diverse instrumentation

 

I swear I’m gonna start throwing blows now.

 

I really love all of their records, but Sprained Ankle means so much to me. So relatable with the reflections of depression and the crisis of faith. That record and Carrie and Lowell hit me during a really tough time.

Also seeing Julien live was one of my favorite shows from the past decade.

 

lift some weights, man, calm down. no ones being rude. she’s decent. i just don’t love her music. i like lucy a ton and love phoebe. it’s fine lol.

 

Oh fuck that, take a propecia and calm down, I was fucking around about the bad takes. Don’t make this shit personal.

 

i .... lift weights too? i wasn’t being personal at all lol. very odd. gonna bow out, whatever. i like this album a lot!

 

Finished this album earlier today and Chinese Satellite, Savior Complex and I Know the End all really hit me. Rarely do I like an album that much on my first listen.

 

Yes, this first listen was the strongest in quite some time!

 

Honestly that’s how I feel about phoebe. I haven’t listened to this record yet and I’m stoked to do so but I enjoy julien the most of the three and phoebe/Lucy after that.

 

would love to but I barely have the motivation to get out of bed these days, let alone review anything. I'm also having trouble getting a grasp on the middle section of this album, it's not really hitting me, but "Kyoto", "Punisher" and the last two tracks are literally perfect

almost definitely. there's an excerpt from a Julien interview where she mentions a guy who used to collect Elvis memorabilia and the house was nicknamed 'Graceland Too'

"The Memphis that people imagine and the thing that Memphis really is are sort of the same and sort of not. They’re sort of this quirky caricature of each other.

There used to be this thing called Graceland Too. It was this guy's house and it was full of Elvis memorabilia, it was kind of creepy but it was kind of awesome. It was like a cult legend and if you drove out to his house in the sticks, it was across the bridge, really far away. If you drove out there and you bought him a six pack of Coca Cola, he would show you around his weird house where he lived alone with all this Elvis memorabilia.

Once he died, it was in the paper and everyone collectively mourned the owner of Graceland Too, and if you went three times you got this lil card, that said “life time member of Graceland Too”. Little disparities like that between the real and... between the pop culture significance and the cult bizarreness of Memphis.”"

 

Julien never clicked with me until I listened to ‘Something’ while laying on the floor.

Pain.

 

if we're comparing;
Lucy is my favorite and I found her first, then Julien, then Phoebe. But it's also who I relate to the most, and I relate to Lucy Dacus' themes (especially the way she writes about her family history) more than I do to Phoebe's antics

 

For anyone who gives a shit, Graceland Too is (was?) in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Used to live about twenty minutes away from there.
