honestly, where even are you seeing indie snobs on this thread? i'm lost.

"... and the family instead moved to the Mojave Desert, where the teen was befriended by a young Frank Zappa. In time Vliet taught himself saxophone and harmonica, and joined a pair of local R&B groups, the Omens and the Blackouts.

After a semester at college, he and Zappa moved to Cucamonga, California, where they planned to shoot a film, Captain Beefheart Meets the Grunt People. ..."

hollowseal33 said:You guys basically just listed everything—honestly, having a list longer than 10 albums for a single year feels a bit blurry and over-the-top to me. You make lists of GOOD albums, not just every semi-interesting thing you happened to hear this year, but whatever... anyway, I’d really highlight the one album that absolutely blew my mind this year, which was Liars and They Were Wrong So We Drowned. Absolutely flawless.

So does that mean there can only be 10 GOOD albums a year, or what?
By the way, if we're talking about being pretentious, then They Were Wrong... definitely fits that bill.

redcrane28 said:I was seriously vibing with Random Harvest—I actually picked up a copy back when Bill Elm came through town for that set.

Look, I think Random Harvest is cool too, but that concert... 🙂

Hey, is the new Modest Mouse actually any good? Honestly.
I only really stumbled onto them a few years back (shoutout Frank Howard79) and fell in love instantly—Lonesome Crowded West is easily my favorite, and honestly, pretty much everything else they've done is solid. But this new stuff... man, it's just boring. It feels so flat, almost like some modern nu-metal derivative at points. Or maybe I'm just losing my edge? 😁

Walter Foster52 said:Ugh, seriously, just film them already!🙂

Walter Foster52 said:I honestly couldn't get "Chutes Too Narrow" by The Shins out of my head—it was stuck on loop in my car like some kind of beautiful, melodic curse.

Man, that takes me straight back to 2003.

Uncut says Brian Wilson’s Smile album was from what year?!? Who the hell is that guy? I definitely need to look him up...

Hey, listen up! 🙂
I can't believe I'm actually clicking through this AllMusic link—it’s like opening a digital time capsule of everything we love and hate about indie rock. Honestly, looking at this list feels like a fever dream. You've got legends like Tom Waits and Brian Wilson sitting right there next to stuff that makes me want to throw my headphones across the room. It's a wild mix, though. One minute you're vibing to the soulful grit of Mavis Staples, and the next you're staring at the chaotic energy of Modest Mouse or the sheer weirdness of Animal Collective. It really hits home how much our taste has just been a messy collision of these massive icons and those cult bands that only a handful of us actually "get." It's kind of beautiful in a chaotic, disorganized sort of way—sort of like my actual record collection, which is mostly just a pile of things I bought because they looked cool on a poster.

man, it’s not even about being happy with it, it’s just... whatever, I straight up hate him:2up:

Nicholas Perez33 said:Alright, here’s an add-on, same old story 😁

exactly the same thing, except

I mean, someone from the magazine was actually at the Waitsu show in Berlin http://www.dopmagazin.com/koncertReports.asp

My go-to for the first real fall weekend (and I’m not counting that mindless background noise filled with the screams of dying Svab from Silent Storm 🙂 ) is Jesse Sykes & The sweet Hereafter - my Girl, which sounds pretty much like Margo Timmins meets Calexico. So, we've got the most beautiful vocals on the planet paired with these neo-Morricone soundscapes, all blending perfectly with 😁 and this Sunday rain—it honestly just leaves me with one question in my head: Trucidare, what the hell are you doing at KSET?? 😁

hollowseal33 said:I mean, most people call Frank boring, but honestly? This list would be absolute fire if it were mine..

Man, seriously though—where’s Rancid? Where are Black Sabbath or The Doors? 😲

Michelle Hall9 said:I mean, sure—if it's just commercial pop-punk-metal, I'd honestly rather hear that than some band fumbling their way through a Sonic Youth cover. There are a million bands out there doing that shit anyway.

Which ones though? What "commercial pop-punk-metal" are we even talking about? 🙂

Daniel Bailey7 said:...am I seriously the only one who thinks Psycho-Path is total trash? c'mon...is it just me? 😁

yeah, count me in

Peter Hall6 said:Does anyone actually know who the opening act is right now?

Why do I have this nagging, ugly-ass feeling that she might actually be Siddarth? 🙄

I can't even deal right now.

I GOT TICKETS!!!!!!!! 👋 👏 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

God bless my friends in Chicago

np Pixies - The happening

Jerry Fisher41 said:So, what was actually said—or rather, written—in that thread? 🙂

The story goes that before he went bald, Frank Black used to rock long hair just to try and snag a spot in Iron Maiden, taking over for Adrian Smith when he left the band. But since that totally tanked (those questionable sideburns were a disaster), he ended up starting Pixies and wrote Broken hair, which they later renamed Broken faca just so nobody would catch on to what the song was actually about...

Who knows, maybe The New York Times will start handing out 4,000 free tickets or something.
Heh, can you even imagine 4,000 old folks showing up to a concert?😁

redgull44 said:Should we organize some kind of tour bus to Minneapolis?🙂

Honestly, that’s actually not a bad call. Word is they’re only dropping about 4,000 tickets, so snagging one is gonna be a total nightmare. If we could somehow pull this off—I mean, if someone with actual clout on here, maybe someone with connections over at a major venue like Madison Square Garden?—could step up and handle the logistics...
