Think this pretty much sums up my feelings:

I’ve felt this way too. Her music has a very, very finished and sterile feeling to it. It’s well done but not fun or jammy. I don’t think I’ve ever had a song of hers that I end up needing to listen to again and again on repeats because I’ve loved it so much. I like her music but it doesn’t get over that final hurdle of doing anything for me. It’s a very nice listen most of the time and that’s about it. I’ll definitely pay money to see her live and I may buy her records in the future, but that comment makes a lot of sense.
 
Reading the reviews/comments on the new St. Vincent (which I adore), I've always wondered: does anyone else enjoy reading bad reviews of music/films/art that they personally love?

Sometimes it almost seems like nobody actually had a plan for Brexit and they were just winging it the whole time.

This is so weirdly worded. I don't care, i'm not a local customer and in fact have never been to salem, or in any physical bullmoose store, but now i totally want to know the gossip on wtf happened. this reads less like "the store wasn't profitable" and more like "we found gary had banged all the other employees on the stacks of product and we had to replace everything because of the stains"

'Falling flat on our faces was humbling' | Bull Moose store apologizes after dispute with workers over mask policy

"Falling flat on our faces was humbling - but we're determined to have our mistakes become a transformative event for Bull Moose," the company's founder wrote.

TL;DR "you guys want to wear masks?! you're fired and we're closing the store!" -- this caused blowback and then they rehired everyone and gave them backpay etc
 
FUUUUUCK yes

Modest Mouse – ‘The Golden Casket’ review: the spiritual sequel to their breakout hit

The Pacific Northwesters have turned in a five-star album that picks up the positivity they first explored with 2004 mega-smash 'Float On'

Also-- the opening track is called "fuck your acid trip"... which is wildly serendipitous because when I saw them in May of 2018-- my friend Miranda and I accidently took WAY too much acid and were melting into ourselves from the very front row. I lost my ability to speak for several hours that night and haven't touched acid since.

And I haven’t heard anything in the singles that reflects this, but who knows.

I've really enjoyed the singles. Particularly Leave a Light On. Ice Cream Party probably isn't on the album but was also excellent.

And the singles have typically been my least favorite songs post-M&A due to them being the most formulaic. So the fact that The Sun Hasn't Left is so out there makes me think this thing is gonna be pretty off the wall.

I have a very bad track record for judging an album off its singles, or the singles themselves outside the context of the album, so big grain of salt. And I’m very prone to hedging my bets, MM-wise. I do truly hope it’s good; Moon and Antarctica truly changed how I view music and what it can be.
