As much as I am still enjoying the new Tame Impala, on every listen I find it increasingly odd that the track that seems to be my favorite is the 2 minute interlude near the end called Glimmer. *shrug*
Boniface - randomly started streaming after seeing positive scores on albumoftheyear.org - glad I did! This is pretty great! Very poppy, if you're into that kind of thing.
Unpopular opinion: Beats headphones don't deserve the amount of a beating they take among online "audiophiles." Granted, I am not one, but I've been more than happy with the pair I picked up used for next to nothing.
Chromatics fans: I'm not sure if this means anything, but I had an email exchange with Adam at Italians Do It Better in which I not-so-casually asked when we could expect Dear Tommy and the response I got was: "Plenty of surprises on the way in 2019 and that's all I can say for now ; ) "
EDIT: He just replied again saying "Oops 2020 lol"
It took longer than it should have, but I've finally decided to cut VMP off for good. Bit by bit they've fully evolved into something I not only don't care to support, but also just don't have a need for in my vinyl collecting hobby.
My Halloween started with a drop of blood outside the bedroom door - SPOOKY! Turned out to be coming from my cat's butt - HORROR! Later today I get to have a skin biopsy - TERROR! Tonight they are predicting torrential downpours and dangerous wind gusts, so we may not even be able to take the kiddo out trick or treating - DISAPPOINTMENT! I hope everyone else is having a better day than I am.
I feel like VMP has knowledge of every album I am quietly waiting for a cool pressing of, but then at the same time are like, "How badly can we extort this information?"
