I noticed none of these coachella bands have announced a san diego date. is the contrast clause bigger than usual this time? kind of a bummer

A much as it pains me, I have to agree with you. It’s kind of a bummer reading how earnest these guys are about making good music, then hearing the crap they come up with. They’re really cool people, it makes me wonder if this is the music they wanted to make all along but they didn’t have the means to do so. I’m just about ready to call it and pretend they broke up after Bring it Back (not great, but at least it was listenable unlike the last two albums). I really don’t know who their audience is now, a good deal of their output sounds like generic pop.

just like the actual covers record
