That’s a great lineup. I’ve been listening to them lately. How did they sound live? Curious about Tyler’s set list. You never know what he’s brining to the stage.

I think his live performances of Creeker are the best things I’ve seen on stage i.n a long while.

After talking to a student yesterday who was a Swifty, I decided to give her new album a listen this morning at the gym.

It wasn't so bad. I listened to the first 3 songs or so. Musically just uninteresting pop stuff, but I have to say I did like the vibe and the lyrics were OK. If I was a teenage or twenty something girl I could see the appeal.

We played side 1 this morning in bed during our post-school rush recovery. The third song Down Bad is a vibe, maybe a minute longer than I needed but my Swiftie wife seemed satisfied. I’m sure it was me and not the music given the lackluster reviews.

Yeah, that was the last one I listened to in full. Seemed like every song basically had the same or a very similar theme. Isn't she the wrong side of 30 now? Kind of weird to still be singing about break ups and teenage petulance, but it certainly seems to work for her and her fans.

Nice! I noticed you mentioned you'd bought Sky Valley in the vinyl thread, was wondering if it was related to this thread :)

Everything in that thread is related to this thread unfortunately. It’s getting to be an obsession. The Kyuss/QOTSA collection is nearly complete.

I must have missed the January release of Sarah Jarosz's latest album, Polaroid Lovers.

Immaculate vibes to start the day.

New Frank Turner album dropped yesterday:

Never heard of him before. Five songs in and I’m digging it. Never Mind the Back Problems is great.

I'm absolutely obsessed with his work. Discovering him about 10 years ago changed the entire trajectory of the music I listen to. His live shows are fantastic. I tend to bring him up in most of the music threads here.

Fun fact, if you watch the video for Do One, it was shot at the HOB in Anaheim and my son and I were in the crowd.

Not on vinyl but listening through Bose 901, great complete album to listen to start to finish.

That’s really cool, always fun to dig those up and see clips online that you saw live. Thanks for posting this guy, I’d never hear of him otherwise. Good shit.

I’m imagining in my head Frank performing that song (NTYFTM) live with Green Day and it sounds fucking incredible. That would be a great song for them to cover.

Just saw this on twitter:

“Frank Turner officially broke the world record for the most shows live shows played in 24 hours.

He played 15 independent shows across 15 different cities in a 24 hour period on Saturday.”

He's a touring lunatic, in February he'll be playing his 3000th live show. Best live shows I've been to, I think I've seen him 19 times. I'm getting close to groupie status.
