    2024 Reading Challenge

    I think all 5 volumes are available here for free. Not the same as reading in physical book format, but it looks like the author gets some kind of ad revenue from views on this site and, at least in the past, has donated those proceeds to some cool organizations. There are some bonus Q&A posts...

    @Sebastian, my brother-in-arms! Clearly not a poor and wretched boy. Are they all different variants? I have the translucent “rose” colored reissue from nov 2020.

    @kvetcha I’ll wear one of my Needles & Grooves official merch shirts. Luckily, it’s a pretty small venue so shouldn’t be hard to find each other there!

    I’ve only seen them live once before in Portland like 20 years ago outdoors as the free entertainment at a food festival downtown. I knew that they’d reached a wider audience since then, but never really imagined I’d hear that many people singing along in such a large venue so far from Portland.

    @Corycm I hope you have a chance soon! It was truly wild to hear thousands of people in DC singing along to “Shankill Butchers” and “Don’t Carry It All” tonight. I was tearing up during “Crane Wife Pt. 3.”

    Getting surprisingly emotional all of a sudden about my first non-virtual full-band Decemberists show since nearly 20 years ago tonight. Might pass out from excitement before I even get to the venue. Luckily, a responsible adult is coming with me!

    PopTarts Unite!

    cross-posted from New Music Friday thread (about Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism): I think “Illusion” might be the best song she’s ever put out, edging out “Don’t Start Now”. “Falling Forever” feels like her first attempt to really throw her hat in the vocal powerhouse ring. I feel like the rest of...

    New Music Friday!

    I think “Illusion” might be the best song she’s ever put out, edging out “Don’t Start Now”. “Falling Forever” feels like her first attempt to really throw her hat in the vocal powerhouse ring. I feel like the rest of the songs aren’t quite as catchy as the singles from Future Nostalgia but it...

    Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

    I missed the convo last week about artistic personas and authenticity vs. commercial affectation - where do Gorillaz fall in this? I like some of the music, but I'm also confused by the cartoon personas and what they're supposed to signify. I don't follow them closely enough to know whether...
