Listened to this three times straight today - definitely one that I overlooked last year

Got a lil misty eyed during "Anthem Pt. 3". It's not a particularly great album, but it does not suck, which is all I could've asked for after all this time.

I mean, I'm playing that new Blink-182 right now, and it's not making me mad.

I mean, I'm playing that new Blink-182 right now, and it's not making me mad. Just got it myself a few minutes ago, but I'll wait until tomorrow to give it a listen. Glad to hear it's getting acceptable board reviews. Also got the new Rolling Stones. I'll get to that tomorrow, too.

I think the main problem, for me anyway, with the Blink-182 album is that it's just too long. There are some really good songs on it, like "Blink Wave," which is so far in that I'm exhausted by the time I get there, and then I don't need any of the songs after it. The album should be half as many songs as it is. They're so old that they must have forgotten one of the cardinal rules of punk: get in and get out quickly.

this is definitely her best release so far I was listening to the TNK 2024 Spotify playlist provided by LH-ST to see which shows would be worth getting a ticket and Squirrel Flower definitely stood out the most.

Really really good. Also really really eerie and not a record I'll probably return to often. Largely thanks to the interspersed bits of speaking in tongues / wailing. As a piece of art tho... it's phenomenal. Beautiful and deeply haunted.

I just don't know where I stand on the Kristin Hater album. There are still some Lingua Ignota aspects to it which I appreciated, but I don't care about the spiritual/jesus stuff at all. I did like the tape manipulation and treated piano, but yeah, the speaking in tongues was a bit much. I won't be going back to it much either though.
Catching up on last week too. New Sampha is good as expected, couple of songs on there I could have done without though. The Jane Remover album was interesting, good to hear her progress, although I liked the last Dltzk album a little better. Teenage Halloween was okay, a little less Ry*n Ad*ms-ish like their last ep was. Still some good songs on there. New Pip Blom was pretty good, a nice surprise appearance by Alex Kapranos on one song I didn't know about that worked well.

this sounds like an 80s lo-fi garage rock band. if i hadn't seen it on goner records roster, i would not have thought it was a 2023 release.

Been bumping this one on repeat all afternoon. Pumping my fist in the air when the James Chance saxophone come in on "May Brigade" - finally a band who listened to This Heat and decided to make it into a jazz record. This fucking rules.
Almost ready to start this year's Big Ears write-ups too. Stay tuned!

Undersung slowcore band the American Analog Set just released their first album in 18 years. It's very good.

Pretty good release day yesterday, here's some callouts
Hotline TNT - kinda surprised by the BNM, but I don't disagree. Fun emo-gaze
Drop Nineteens - first new album in 30 years I think? Dunno if it lives up to the hype that MBV and Slowdive garnered but it's certainly solid with the closer T being a blissful classic shoegaze send off.
Bar Italia - I preferred their album earlier this year but this is still decent. Got more of a Blonde Redhead feel to me than that one.
Ian Sweet - really liked their last one from 2021 and this one's fun but isn't hitting the same checks for me. Will def revisit.
Spiritual Cramp - this was stereogums AOTW and it's decent. Got this boppy punk thing going for it with some oddball lyrics here and there.
Empty Country - this is the lead singer of Cymbals Eat Guitars second album. I wasn't in love with the debut from 2020, but this one stands out more thanks to some unpredictable direction. I dig it. Might need to revisit the last one.
Kevin Abstract - uhhh.. unexpected to say the least but not awful. This is Abstracts rock album so don't expect Brockhampton adjacent material. Saw his IG post about it on the groups account and it would appear BH fans loathe it.
Still need to get to tkay maidza
Also listened to the new Marvelous 3 album and it's pretty meh but I'll take it since it was accompanied by a reunion and finally a pressing of the Hey! Album on vinyl.

I'm getting more into this dreamTX album with every listen. Really hard to find any info on him though, no twitter account and nothing else useful besides his bandcamp page. Recommended or the Broken Social Scene fans here. Speaking of which, latest solo album by Kevin Drew is finally up on Tidal, I think it was released a few weeks ago. Pretty good album too.

Excellent album that I feel got a bit overlooked this year (myself included - I listened to it when it came out but didn't revisit it until today)

Such a great M&A album. Does anyone know if they’re still together/working on another album? Their social media presence is crickets.
