shut up boomer

 

The Covid song, as expected, is super funny and bad

 

It's one thing to believe dumbfuck things if you're a notorious old crank. It's another thing to sully your discography with it.

 

Can’t stop playing this.

 

Inarticulate Speech of the Heart is incredibly underrated. I'm sure I've listened before when I was younger and doing my first Van deep dive, but idk if I have since then. Moody, weird, beautiful. Why is this one so maligned?

 

New album is good

 

To be more hyperbolic, there are some moments on the new album that might be his best music since...Hymns to the Silence? Avalon Sunset? Obviously not a super hard mark to reach, but this is the dude who made Why Are You on Facebook a few years ago.

 

Need to give it a listen. Several of the prerelease tracks were the first time I’d even slightly connected with something new from him in… well about as long off as those albums you mentioned there haha.

edit: when the rains came is the one

 

Oh damn guess I gotta not ignore this one

 

I didn't even know he had one. Damn.

 

Jokermen’s side pod NES is talking the new Van and new Neil Young today. Excited on their takes

 

When the Rains Came and Stretching Out are really something.

 

Does he have weird political songs on this one?

 

Nope. Worst we get is an upbeat jazzy track about Ray Charles
