Cool interview, definitely. And yeah, the conspiracy theory shit is grating as fuck. It gets close lots of times to being a decent interpretation of history, but then it just goes so far off the rails and totally falls apart. I have students who get into it sometimes and I always try to talk them ba...

Yeah, I actually am kinda starting to dig that Canyons verse too, but that whole song is a bit too much for me. Scales is great though, that Wire sample is perfect. Lost Blocks and Borrowed Time are both really nice songs. Yeah, whole thing is good. Different, and unexpected, but good.

fourize

My favorites are Dark Woods, RPM, and Warmachines. Agree that it's more scattershot than any of Woods shit from the last few years (since Cowardly Threats, I'd say), but I think I kinda dig that about it. It's like sketches, not really as cohesive and fully formed. I was on the fence with some of th...

I found it on the /mu/ boards, I think just by googling the title and "/mu/", but it's seriously worth a purchase. Really really good album. The second half is my shit.

fourize

Album is great, much more down tempo and jazzy than I expected.

Got the leak, still will cop the official tomorrow.

Yeah, there's Woods verses that I know mention roundups (if not by name, at least by concept), but I can't recall what they are. If you remember any, lemme know. The Coup one is good. The Cube one is okay, but I'm looking more for things about 'roundups' than just tales of multiple arrests at once. ...

Similar to a thread I started a few months back looking for lyrics mentioning police dogs, I'm again trying to help a researcher friend.

This time, I'm looking for lyrics about police roundups and mass arrests. This one's a longshot, I know, but if anyone can think of any it would be cool.

That whole project sounds good. I like L'Orange a lot.

I went back to Bird Eats Snake recently, and now I'm stuck on it. Took me a while to totally catch up to how good Elucid is, but the A&H stuff sold me. There's no one else I enjoy listening to as much right now.

Odd that this thread is here. I just pulled out Ghosts of the Great Highway three days ago and been jamming it since. One of my favorite albums from that time. This Benji shit fucking kills.

fourize, what do you mean? I am saying I saw Necro literally allowing a naked white girl to gyrate on stage with 20 people around and hundreds of people in the crowd, and he stood behind her to make sure nobody did anything to hurt her. I don't got a problem with that. I wasn't noting anything wron...

Not for nothin', but this is one of the most problematic reflections of patriarchal/misogynist attitudes in this whole 'incident'/thread.

Good picks Versive and Bengi. As an aside, I heard the end of that Woods verse as "War in the air as you play with your friends".

fourize

Let's see that interview Versive! This EP has grown on me even more, and I'm curious to read them talk about it.

fourize

Beatwise, I agree. Overall, I don't know. They're both great. Interviewing them this week, hopefully tomorrow. yeah they're definitely both great. i need some time to let this sink in but first impression is this EP is a lot more accessible and consistent. i love the LP but it had a few songs i did...

Drake says "uncle" a bunch right?

Album comes out tomorrow, right? I'm cysed to cop and listen, since I've avoided the streams and leaks and whatnot so far. Being playing the mixtape since it dropped, though, and it's great.

J Mascis and Sharon Van Etten covering John Denver's Prisoners, with Aimee Man in a weird wig in the video. Mascis is never not godly:

A friend asked me for recommendations of songs with lines or verses about police K9 units. Other than 99 Problems, anyone got any? I know there's lots more out there.

fourize

Oh and also, if you haven't seen Isbell live, do it. I've seen him a bunch; with DBT, with 400 Unit, and solo. All are impressive to say the least. He sounds better live than 99% of others, and it's only live that you become fully aware of the fact that he's probably the best guitar player working. ...

fourize

Yeppp this Isbell is really dang good. As for DBT stuff, I think decoration day is the best album, but there's some serious gems on all of em. I agree that Isbell is mostly unchallenged among his peers when it comes to writing, but if anyone comes close it's Patterson Hood. Cooley has some serious c...

Took me a minute to really get into it, but this album is just more greatness from Billy (Block too). Manteca is, right now, my favorite Woods song ever.

fourize

Liking this new Isbell a bunch. Elephant and Relatively Easy are real club bangers. Hopefully he'll be touring around the backwoods backwards ass place I call home.

fourize

Dern it, I had no idea Isbell had a new record. I don't fuck with Boonarroo, but I'll be copping the Isbell this very afternoon.

Not sure if this counts as "behind the scenes" but Mike Dean definitely made a huge impact without most people knowing anything about him.
