This Christmas, I’m going to see how many times I can awkwardly shoehorn, “Well tonight thank God it’s them, instead if youuuu” into conversations without any context.
Hit up Waterloo Records this morning for the first time in a few months. Definitely not getting as much music bang for my bucks on vinyl purchases. Shit has gotten EXPENSIVE!
Just now getting around to listening to the new Brandi Carlile record. Not sure what the critical or fan consensus is, but I think this is now my favorite album of hers.
“House of Gucci” was pretty meh, but it does have some strong individual performances. Gaga is really good, but Jared Leto ended up being the real scene stealer.
Really enjoyed watching The Go-Go’s get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It clearly meant a lot to them, and honestly it should have happened a long time ago.
A lot of dudes online with some VERY strong opinions about that Taylor Swift performance on last night’s SNL. I’m not even really a fan, but I was impressed.
Really enjoying Hovvdy’s “True Love”. I’m a sucker for that late 90s/early 00s, breathy vocal indie pop vibe. Wears those Elliott Smith, Iron & Wine, and quieter Wrens influences proudly.
I thought the Demos albums were going to be packaged with their respective PJ Harvey reissues. Foolish me. Too much money to be made releasing them as stand alone albums. Completing the collection on vinyl is going to take a while.
Two wildly different covers of Metallica's 'Sad But True' out there today...an industrial sounding one from St. Vincent, and a slide heavy rave-up from Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit.
