The oligophrenics that gave NYC Ghosts & Flowers a 0.0? The mooks who said Martha Wainwright's voice sounded like Alanis Morissette's? FUCK 'EM.

They opened for Tropical Fuck Storm in Athens last year... That's a lotta FUCK!

IDK, I don't listen to him* (I only found out thanks to Spotify telling me my 'friends' were listening to it). Just figured it as fairly big news, especially since surprise releases are fun.

*Except for 'The Real Slim Shady', which is so cartoonish and absurd that it's hilarious.

When I was in (get this) *high school* and Eminem came onto the scene, he was a breath of fresh air and a novelty you really couldn’t look away from.

I feel like he stayed interesting for literally one album. He brought a little bit of it back for the third album, I guess, but as soon as shit like Not Afraid and those horrible classic rock sampling tracks from the 8-Mile soundtrack came out, Jesus — man was insufferably self-serious almost as a rule, and all that fun novelty was lost.

I swear, that video where he’s falling off the building for the entirety of it? That is the Creed of rap music. Like holy shit, the lugubriousness!

FACS (featuring former members of Disappears) will release a new album on 3/27: Void Moments

not anticipated because i just ran into it, and not sure if “best” or by whose standards (and who gives a fuck?) but i liked it maybe you do too

What?! I should have known this! Gonna have to re-check my Bandcamp FACS subscription! Dammit! But bitchen news! :D

So the "first single" is called "Teenage Hive", just when Wire releases Mind Hive... I'm thinking they'll never live down the post-punk tag (post-post-punk? neo-post-punk?), even though, fortunately, they're so much more.

ah, thanks for this one. 2 tracks available right now.

2- two forms moving
7- haunted and known

 

Yep, very much looking forward to this.

My faves so far (no order)

Arca - @@@@@
Sign Libra - Sea to Sea
Oval - Scis
Midori Hirano - Invisible Island
Beatrice Dillon - Workaround
Erik Satie - Hommage (Piano Music and Quartet Transcription)
Kim Petras - Reminds Me (single)
BAND - 30 Timeless Xmas Greats (This was obviously supposed to have been out last year but was delayed until January)

Nice.

There’s a new Vladislav record.
New Caribou, too.
New Arca — though it’s just a “single” — is 60 minutes or something so it can be an album for these purposes, whatever. It’s great

Even though the new album is being released by Troubled In Mind Records, which also put out their other two LPs, and therefore there shouldn't be the conflict you see with many artists who end up having at least more than one Bandcamp page, so far -two weeks away from release date, basically- Void Moments only shows up on the label's site, not FACS':

Move that product, people!

Nine Inch Nails just surprise released a new album, Ghosts V-VI. It's on their website for free if you want, I'll report back on it later.
