New smashing pumpkins album announced. First single is track #20. That's got to be a record for Billy and Co.

This one just reduced me to tears, out of nowhere. I was just drinking some coffee, then, bam; there's a weird, dark, heaviness at the heart of this album that can be too much when it catches you off guard. Anna's ghost all around.

I think Brett Anderson is a bit of a knobhead to be honest, but can't deny Suede have some brilliant tunes and albums. And their new one is brilliant. They still release top quality music that really does stand up to their 90s stuff. And it's not a 'return to form' cliche either (like Blur's The Magic Whip which, while got rave reviews, is dull as dishwater and cannot sing a tune from it), they genuinely are still as good as they've ever been.

Adam Levine being misgynostic by Gatekeeping 'hot chicks'. Rather listen to Slayer (and I don't consider myself hot). Adam:  |

1969 was a pretty good year for music, so good that I had to make a list.
1. Roling Stones - Gimme Shelter
2. David Bowie - Space Oddity
3. The Beatles - Something
4. Stevie Wonder - My Cherie Amour
5. The Who - Pinball Wizard
Top 2 are definitely contenders for making it onto a top 10 songs of all time list for me.

Just wanted to say that I’m listening to lots of Paul Weller (as I tend to do in September always, though it’s October now). Namely the Orchestral Songbook, Illumination, Other Aspects, and Saturn’s Patterns. It’s unbelievable how much great music one person can make and over so many years. I really hope to be able to see him live one day.

I hadn't listened to The Thaw Session by The Verve in years. I can't believe this was recorded around the same time as Forth (2007), sounds vastly different, almost like traveling back in time to 1992.

- Series of Dreams
- Not Dark Yet
- Mississippi
- Things Have Changed
- Duquesne Whistle
- Most of "Rough and Rowdy Ways". Class album.

And then Richard forced songs like I See Houses and at the zero hour almost had Mona Lisa on Forth, when it could've been so much more. |

The Escapist, while checking out The Cure's back catalogue, did you ever make it to 1992's Wish?
It's an album which, despite a plentiful supply of good material, I struggle to enjoy. Mostly that's due to the way it sounds (very even-handed production, muddy and flat mixes); but the tracklist is also to blame I think.
If you have some spare time, I could do with your tactical nous for rearranging running orders. I've tried a number of different permutations, but never been able to get it quite right.
The album as it is:
1. Open
2. High 3. Apart 4. From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea 5. Wendy Time 6. Doing the Unstuck 7. Friday I'm in Love 8. Trust 9. A Letter to Elise 10. Cut 11. To Wish Impossible Things 12. End
With the era's B-sides:
This Twilight Garden Play Halo Scared As You A Foolish Arrangement The Big Hand

Oh, you know how to hook me into listening to an album! An improvable tracklist, you say - that's my Bat Signal. I haven't got around to Wish yet, but I might give it a go tonight. My girlfriend is a massive Anglophile, so I've been introducing her to key parts of British culture (we're up to David Tennant and Champagne Supernova is her favourite), and The Cure is one of the things still on my list to show her. There's something very British about them, I think; there's no other country where a band could dress like that and do seventy-minute albums but you still reckon they might enjoy guessing what the prices are gonna be on the Antiques Roadshow. I'll give the album and b-sides a few listens and get back to you. |

Wish was there first Cure album I heard in full after the greatest hits albums. I found a copy for $2 in a bargain bin and couldn’t resist. It is, like BHN, quite over the top. But there’s a good album in there. It’s also fairly impossible to follow up Disintegration when that’s your previous studio album! I would switch Wendy Time out for This Twilight Garden. Then maybe cut Cut. It’s a pretty long album anyways but I think this helps it a lot. Decent bsides here but Twilight Garden definitely deserves to be on the album. |

I guess I'm thinking more that he's done on the big stages. Back with the MAGA bullshit going on, he was still invited to things like SNL after all. But this sort of unhinged racism... no one's going to touch him now, and not for a long time. |

So... Kanye West's carreer is officially dead now, right? It should be. Hard to see where anything goes from here. For a while, his mental disorders made it seem in poor taste to comment on the awful things he had said while in the middle of manic episodes, but at this point his refusal to get any form of proper treatment and instead use his illnesses to indulge every toxic instinct and insane worldview is its own issue. Lots of people have bi-polar, but the overwhelming majority do not spend their manic periods spreading anti-semitism. Obviously, the primary shame is those who will feel the historical hate in his words, although from my (very privilaged) perspective, it's hard not to feel dismayed that one of the best discographies in modern music is sullied by the deranged path the artist's life took. Genuinely torn on whether I would listen to any of his new music from now on; maybe profitless downloads somewhere, or not at all. |
