OK damn Classic Masher is fucking great, sounds like Doolittle era Pixies, and Head Carrier is also great.
Holy shit that's so great, honestly I didn't like Um Chagga Lagga that much but those tracks sound extremely promising!!
Didn't listen all the way through, but I thought that other than Metro Boomin's beats (which were great), 21 was more boring the bored (he was mostly both though). All I really wanted to do while listening was turn this off and go listen to some Vince Staples (which I did).
Jada is on fire tho. First that killer verse on Groovy Tony / Eddie Kane and now this. I like it.
Holy shit!! That email went to my spam folder so I would have totally missed it if it wasn't for you. I fucking love this album!! I don't know what to do, my 3 month membership is over and now I'm really thinking about renewing for 3 more months...
I'm mostly excited for MSTRKRFT (their new single was badass!) and Yeesh this week. Other than that seems like good time to catch up some stuff that I missed, like Metronomy, Cassius and Clams Casino, and get pumped for Dinosaur Jr.!
I'm from a small country, so we barely get "international shows" coming here, and when we do it's mostly has-beens and dadrock/pop bands on the reunion circuit (those past two years have been a beautiful exception though), and to get to one of those real festivals I have to fly to Europe. So when I do get to these large and stacked festivals, like I finally did to Primavera this year, is like a dream come true.
However, there is one small festival here, who I have made a tradition of attending for the past 7 years straight. It's the kind of festival where you drive to the middle of nowhere in the desert (which is only really a hour and a half drive, but still), camp for two nights straight, spend your days in unbearable heat and wake up extremely early, just to see a lot of local bands from your town that you'd usually see in smaller clubs anyway for very cheap or for free. But that festival is the fucking best. It's the one thing I hold on to every year, since I was in highschool, through my army service and even now. It's just an out of this world experience, where I get to spend three straight days with my friends, meeting other people that I know and like, hear a shit ton of music I love and drink. a lot. I wish I could go to a huge international festival every other month, but I really wouldn't trade that experience in that festival for anything else. I'll be missing it for the first time since I started attending this year because I'm going to be abroad, which I should be ok with but it actually bums me the fuck out. There's nothing better than kicking back and being relaxed with your friends while hearing some great music. That's the stuff that made me such a big music fan.
Now that's an incredible lineup. Great mix of rap, rock, metal/punk, electronic and what not. Seems a LOT more varied than this year's lineup, and also who I presume headlined are much more interesting (to me at least)
That's a great cover right there. They really pulled off the vocals too (I mean, it's not Bowie, but I think they executed that low-pitched vocal manipulation nicely). I like this a lot
Glad you had fun! I didn't manage to listen to all of your top 10 Clams tracks yet but I did listen to I'm God multiple times and it bangs. Then youtube went into shuffle mode and every track that got played afterwards was great too, so I'm definitely going to dig deeper now. Thanks for the (constant) rec!
I have a friend who's moving to San Francisco in a month. he already has tickets to the Berkeley show. I'm jealous of every part of that story.
You're going to have a great time. Incredible set.
Hey congrats on the job!
I'm not sure yet weather I like IV better than BBNG3 (which was fantastic), but like I wrote in last week's AOTW article, Time Move Slow is one of the best songs I've heard this year. The album as a whole is very great though. And their live show is something to behold too
Saw Tame Impala on Monday! Second time in a little over a month, first in Primavera and this time a local show, so the gf could come. Was a fucking blast. Wasn't stoned enough so I think a 3rd time is due soon.
Have a calm weekend peeps
