The NEW Official indie/alternative music thread

Samesies

 

new car seat headrest fucks

 

Good shit. Did you see the new James Blake music video?

 

Radiohead touring

 

Nowhere south of Ohio

 

Eh, they'v been making the same music since Kid A. I miss when they use to rock more like their best album, The Bends.

 

They're like fucking 70 now so that happens.

 

Rolling Stones are like 110 and they still rock. No excuses.

 

1. I saw Rolling Stones on the Super Bowl halftime a few years ago...idk if I'd go that far at this point
2. Not liking Radiohead bc they don't "rock" anymore is a stupid ass take. OK Computer literally came out over 20 years ago. Imagine still trying to shoehorn an artist into that sound
3. Mad

 

I agree that The Bends is their best album, but they still make amazing music.

 

Ok Computer was their creative peak. I still prefer Bends. Also, no reason to be mad. I'v got plenty other music to pick from.

 

Agree to disagree. I love Bends as well but if they had quit after that, for me they'd be down a few tiers from where I have them now among my favorite all-time artists. The creativity and songwriting on display across such a wide variety of sounds is what separates them

 

In Rainbows is their best album

 

Please bro I can't even headbang to that one

 

Hail to the Thief for me.

 

you can come sleep on my floor. Recreational dispensaries should be open by then

 

I like this

 

new FJM song is called Mr Tillman

 

Going to see Portugal.The Man tonight and strfkr on Thursday both at Brooklyn Steel. Good week.

 

I fell in love with Post Animal when I saw them open for White Reaper back in November

they are fucking rad. If you like White Reaper, NE-HI or Twin Peaks you will dig these guys

their new album will be out on 4/20 and the first single is called Ralphie

 

I'm all in on that intro, the chorus makes me cringe a bit, but overall it seems interesting enough to hear what they've got

 

If you start a 90s/00s rock thread I will come.

 

90s is my specialty.

 

After Radiohead, pavement and STP I put 2 + 2 = 5 together, if you catch my drift.

 

Been listening to Wild Nothing a bunch lately. Gemini is such a lovely album

 

Are there any bands you only keep on your media devices for a song or two?

I use my phone as my primary media device (I DL to a HD and move from HD to phone) and have limited carrying capacity as a result

So with like 28 GB of music I gotta be picky. But I really really love the songs Afraid of Heights and Demon to Lean On by Wavves. Likewise I'm obsessed with Bone Jam by JEFF the Brotherhood

 

I just use Spotify

 

On GP's really the only Death Grips song I'm in to, but it's one of my go to pump ups and is the first thing that came to mind

that organ drop drives me bonkers

 

Same, sold all my physical media at least 5 years ago. Just dumped the shit on eBay.

Also interesting part of that, I got more $$ for the same quantity of used CDs than DVDs. Like it tripled the DVD total. Kind of shocked me.

 

I still use my 160gb ipod classic everyday

 

wait so this is a remake of an old album? liking it in the early going

 

something along the lines of these songs evolving in the live show and wanting to get these versions out?

 

I haven't heard this yet but I'm becoming less excited by the post

 

it's the worst album ever made

 

No that's A Crow Left of the Murder by Incubus

 

I actually tried revisiting this album last week, unsuccessfully. Sick Sad Little World goes a long way for it though.

 

"Megalomaniac" was a good track

 

I havent ever met a person who knows this song. Had it on my phone last week.

 

new Speedy Ortiz album will be out April 27th, it'll be called Twerp Verse. First single is called Lucky 88

 

Portugal. The Man was phenomenal last night. They rocked very hard. Great visuals. A little strange hiring two hip hop dancers but it worked with the visuals. Opening act was also a very solid young hip hop funk artist named Topaz Jones. He has a really good sound and presence.

 

Saw them in Omaha last March, they were great. One of my favorite shows.

 

New Parquet Courts. Album out in May.

 

god yes



looks like the album drops May 18th
