evolution of a Dylan fan:
1. "this guy can't sing"
2. "Visions of Johanna is good"
3. "this song from the '80s with terrible production is his best song"
4. "this song he didn't even release is his best song"

I had no idea the Simpsons “yes” guy was based on an actual actor
For everyone who keeps commenting “I thought this guy was from the Simpsons”, his name is Frank Nelson, he started doing it in the 1940s and he did it literally everywhere.

Ornette Coleman had his 10-year-old son play drums on the Empty Foxhole and he played it for his buddies and half of them were like “holy shit who is this drummer” and the other half were like “this sounds like a little kid playing drums”

I've had a hard time describing this album by comparing it to any less than four wildly divergent things and yet it doesn't sound like a crazy genre mashup but like an idea that's always existed and was just waiting for someone to tap into it. My fav album of the decade so far
Still catching up with some stuff I missed last year. This is really great, hearing everything from Durutti Column to Joni’s underrated 90s album ‘Night Ride Home’ even Red House Painters but fcked with by Oneohtrix Point Never ‘Replica’ style production

if you’re on the Blue Nile train don’t miss A Walk Across the Rooftops, maybe my favorite non-Prince pop album of the ‘80s
The Blue Nile's 1989 cult classic, Hats, is an album of euphoric love and loss that unfolds slowly and with starry eyes. Its noir mood and icy melodrama are still felt all over modern pop

this is awesome. more publications should do this. listening to a piece of new music and thinking of it as “new music” creates all this baggage that makes it hard to appreciate it properly—I like to wait a year or two to check out the albums everyone raves about at this point

best vibe kills in history:

the fact that young classic rock kids pivot towards AJR and AWOLNATION instead of, like, Sheer Mag indicates something is deeply and fundamentally wrong
So much good shit has come out in the last 5-6 years if you’re a fan of loud guitar music, but it gets ignored by what’s left of rock writers because they’re completely out of touch with the genre they’re supposed to be covering.
