Meh. I'm not even sure I qualify as a Pixies fan anymore. I have no idea what they're up to, or who they even are anymore.

what's the deal with this one?

There's a new Parquet Courts album out. I haven't listened to it in full yet, but I've done a fair amount of skipping around and I'm enjoying what I'm hearing. Sounds like it might be their Brighten the Corners. Maybe.

I dig Parquet Courts/Parkay Quarts. I always think I don't, but then I listen to one of their albums (especially Light Up Gold), and I just can't turn it off. Sunbathing Animal didn't quite captivate me as much, but it was still very good, and I loved Content Nausea. I'm going to buy this new one and give it a whirl.

Oooh! Ooooooh! Hope Six Demolition Project is out in SIX days

 

 

(heart attack)

New PJ out now and awesome.

New Radiohead apparently coming out in June. It's been six goddamn years since their last album. I wonder how this is going to go over. I'm actually not super optimistic.

Preach it.

What i like about deftones gore is its new. Its not just a nostalgia album from a band i have been listening to for twenty years. It what i liked about No Cities To Love last year

I'm not sure really. I liked Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, and I like what Jonny Greenwood's been doing.

I liked their "SPECTRE" song, and think that if MGM had used it, the movie would have been significantly better.

But I feel like it's been so long that it would be really tough for them to make another really brilliant record I guess. I don't have any real solid reason for feeling this way, but I kinda do. They took a six year break after releasing albums pretty regularly for almost 20 years. It just makes me wonder if their time has passed. I could be wrong, and hope I am. But in the past six years a lot of their albums have started to sound dated. I think the only ones that really still hold up are Kid A and Hail to the Thief, and parts of OKC. They're going to have to pull a Portishead circa 2008 to make this work, which means a full overhaul of their sound. And from what I've read, some very old songs are rumored to be on the new album.

I wish 'em the best.

I wouldn't be so harsh. I still consider them to be a very talented and original band that is not afraid to explore new territories (at least, "new" regarding to the rock/indie territory they've been mostly associated with). I am now years ago from being a fan of the band (I was a real diehard some 15-20 years ago ... man, the time flies fast) but I know the're capable of coming up with something surprising.
There've been better albums (Kid A, OKC, for me also In Rainbows and Hail to the Thief) and also worse ones (Amnesiac and especially the terrible TKOL), and I don't see a reason why I should be skeptical about this. I'm actually pretty curious.
