    Jesus...a killer new downtown boys track is posted and people are talking about goddamn Mumford and sons :facepalm:

    If anyone is dumb enough to go that in the first place they deserve to watch them suck

    You've done this multiple times, man. Whenever somebody talks about a band you don't like who happens to be really popular, you do this. FWIW, I haven't listened to Mumford in a few years. I did enjoy their first couple albums though. I have no idea what fyre fest is.

    I could have chosen to talk about how awful the vocals in that Downtown Boys song were to listen to instead. Would that have been better?

    If you you think the vocals on that song are awful, by all means.

    I'm just saying I don't understand why someone would surprised at a band that had always sucked sucking

    It's really not boring at all. Not sure what Keef isn't smoking, but he needs something better. Their 3rd album would be awesome live.

    I'll be honest. I got to the front of their headlining set at Hangout and had a great time. I did enjoy their first album but don't really go back much and listen to it. I thought they put on a pretty good show.

    it's a white people singalong. but they're on par with a lot of bands that people rave about ITT :twocents: I love local natives - Mumford isn't anymore "boring" than them in concert. You stand around and sing along or just do a baby knee bend and head nod. You either like the source music or don't. Mumford has good energy

    Can one of you gents direct me to your lists of best albums of 2016? I always try to use that as a guide for new music but I missed the boat this year. It's a great resource for someone who doesn't follow the music scene all that closely. Much appreciated :chan:

    Frank Ocean and Bon Iver were my two favorites of 16. The Local Natives album was great too. 2017 is going to blow 2016 out of the water overall though.

    I guess I forgot to do this last year. Just a few updates from q4:

    Tyvek - origin of what
    The intended - time will tell
    Rebel kind - just for fools
    Flasher


    K9 sniffies - masters touch
    Spray paint - feel the clamps
    Nots - cosmetic
    Running - wake up applauding
    Preoccupations
    Oh boland - spilt milk
    Ex cult - negative growth
    Golden pelicans 7"
    So so glos - kamikaze
    Soda - without a head
    Parquet courts - human performance
    Fake surfers - cheap meat
    Frustrations- transmissions from the ether
    Synthetic Id - impulses
    Gooch palms - introverted extroverts
    Sheer mag - iii
    Either Metz 7"

    Best of 2017 so far...

    Priests - nothing feels natural
    Stef Chura - messes
    Idles - brutalism
    White reaper - the world's best American band
    Cloud nothings - life without sound
    Future islands - the far field

    Excited for warm soda, protomartyr, and some detroit records. Haven't listened to meat wave yet either but it's on the list.
