The album is pretty good. A bit of a throwback, like it could have been the follow-up to It's All Around You.
It's out there, but I am gonna wait at least a little while longer. Seeing them a few days after it comes out so seems like keeping it fresh might be fun
my good friend and his band dropped a Motion City Soundtrack cover, take a listen and hope you like it if you wanna hear more, they got music on bandcamp, spotify, etc
I had an idea for a thread, I don’t know if anyone would be interested in. It’d be a periodic member curated playlist, maybe monthly or bi-weekly designed around a theme. The idea would kind of be in the same vein as record/film of the week club and the covers threads we’ve done in the past. So for example, since we’re coming up to the holiday travel season the theme could be “Songs for a Layover” and everyone picks one song that represents that theme and then we compile it into one playlist to share and discover new music. This idea really stems from my frustration with algorithm generated playlists just giving me the same songs I’ve already been listening to, but also enjoying more curated weekly list like The Amplifier, etc. It could be an easy way to share some our favorites, while maybe being more active since just picking one song is a lower barrier to entry than a whole album. I know these “club” types threads usually die down after a few months, but I still think it could be fun. Also if everyone is picking something every go around, it could (maybe) stay more active.
Will probably always be my favourite MBV song. Finally seeing them live in just over two weeks Doubt anyone in here really needs to be told to listen to MBV but oh well
New Tortoise album is growing on me. Especially the second half. Taking it for an evening walk recommended.
