Pitchfork sucks.

[Tap]

no I wasn't trying to say you're stuck in the past at all. just that there are particular things going on on this album album, and not liking them means you don't like these particular things and that's it. and that people shouldn't disregard those perspectives as invalid.

[denjanenna]

I think they were referring to diomedes' post above yours tap

[joke]

i edited my PW so on delay is removed and replaced with floridada
and mine starts with gnip gnop

[thespectrum]

I for one would love to be chased by Avey Tare with an axe

[ingenue]

take a look at views atypical people

but I get where you're coming from. It's totally subjective! Of those of you who really can't stand this record have you seen the band live on this tour yet?

[speen]

"really cant stand" is an overstatement, its a fine album

But yeah, I saw them, opening night. great show, really enjoyed it. didnt really change the album for me

[kingo]

same here demonclusters. album is aight, still really enjoyed the live show, but the album remains unspectacular

[johnnyvulpine]

so i still don't understand where John Cale is in this
in hocus
also you tubed John Cale and Drone and just saw a video of his implementing drones into his lives set but not necessarily drone music ..

feel confused

tbh don't know much about him because have a bad relationship with velvet underground

[Hellomark]

You should check out the album Paris 1919. No drones to be found there, just really gorgeous folky pop songs. One of my fav albums.

[roopn]

anyone tuned into bb 6 radio?
I'm listening, waiting patiently for them to come on.

hoping they didn't already play

[roopn]

ok well I can't keep listening but they haven't played yet so if anyone's tuning in, enjoy

[AudibleKayak]

Have they not played yet or am I just late?

[Synusoid]

not-so-happy post, beware

Spoiler: show

demonclusters, you need to stop posting while you're ahead

actually, I think it's too late for that

I get all of the gripes that people have with the album but sheesh, the whole act that it's 'definitely their worst album' is pretty shallow and provides no actual insight. It's like you're trying to start conflict with some fans. Because quite frankly, me and a lot of people here will vehemently disagree with that statement. Also, nobody gets to diss some shit and then tell others to chill when they finally get called out. Keep things to yourself or find a more tactful, insightful way of discussing the music

/endrantforgiveme

also holy shit the guys are getting older haha, dave looks so different in that picture roopn

[AudibleKayak]

It definitely sounds like Noah is singing bitch instead of bridge again

[AudibleKayak]

So anyone else disappointed with that radio session? They only played two songs, the interview was even worse than the KCRW one and the performance was pretty sloppy imo.

[roopn]

what were the songs?

[Synusoid]

The 15th and 16th demos for the Painting With era

[roopn]

hah yeah for real tho

[doggyinacoma]

first one is floridada, waiting for the second....i think the interview is going pretty well, def not worse than kcrw.

jer_hy looks so scrappy lol

edit: second song is golden gal... does sound a little sloppy tbh

[SpaceAnimal]

interview is so much better than kcrw... feels conversational and natural

[Vovenarg]

what minute is intervu at?

[Avey Pear]

Anyone else notice that they said Golden Gal is the next single and will be out May 13th? Maybe this means vinyl release with a new b-side?

[dud]

^ooo hopefully

[coollodges]

that would be rad but it could just be a remix or something for the b-side. If they had another song they prolly would've already played it live by now, but maybe they've been saving one more gem.

[Mütterlein]

"from a beach" for golden gal b-side? :hm:

[Avey Pear]

They said they've got 2 more songs that they're going to release at some point.

[inkspot]

They've said a LOT of things!

[Synusoid]

They actually said they would release them?

[archie]

I'm gonna come back n things will be different
I'm gonna bring back some stories(bagels in Kiev) and games (gnip gnop)


but yer that bagwlkiev link is especially cool cuz of how he's talking about losing the stories of the elders partly

[Avey Pear]

Yeah Geologist said it during the interview he and PB did on Beats 1. Said they'd be releasing them at some point.

[r1pvanw1nkl3]

Just wanna say I think this is a great record and I think there will be a large scale critical reappraisal down the line. I have been listening nonstop. I love it.

same here. the whole album is so good, but especially hocus pocus, lying in the grass, on the delay and summing the wretch are already among my all time fav AC songs.

Ditto. Great release: loads of energy, fun and unexpected shifts and sounds, great lyrics, strong vocals, and trippy.

[valar602]

I have a hunch that the snare percussion sound at the beginning thats more in the background of "Lying in the Grass" is Noah hitting the kiddie pool.

be;lieve u me its been brewing longer than u can imagine

[Crushhigh]

What's the chance we get a PW TV performance? There's been a late night spot for every AC related album since SJ except Down There, and I could totally dig some ridiculous late night performance of one of the deep cuts

[clearwaters]

...Deep cuts?

Would love to see a live late night version of Michael Remember.
