So you remember the guy who was Magnolia Discovery and then ROTM, his new record is $100.

Fun game for folks. I'm gonna list off a random variety of Boston Calling performers and hide their Spotify Monthly Listeners, see how close you get. This is descending order on the billing

Ed Sheeran -
83m
Megan Thee Stallion -
24.3m
Tyler Childers -
10.7m
Khruangbin -
6.3m
Jessie Murph -
9m
d4vd -
24.3m
Chappell Roan -
1.2m
Cannons -
2.2m
Royel Otis -
1.6m
The Heavy Heavy -
212k
Divine Sweater -
98k
Francis of Delirium -
64k

Not to spoil the listing, but I'd say kinda. Like, Faye Webster is selling out 3500+ person venues across the country and has a real following, I think he is "that" big compared to other similar artists. I like Faye a lot personally - when you need that vibe she fits it perfectly. But there's definitely Spotify artists who have 20m+ monthly listeners not filling a 2000 person venue and Spotify artists with 5m monthly who will sell out 10k tickets. Playlist friendly artists and younger skewing artists tend to inflate by that metric.
I would like to think I am fairly plugged into the music scene of today but I have no clue who any of the artists listed beyond Khruangbin even are.
 
I assume @Yer Ol' Uncle D has similar thoughts to me on this that if it’s just the mercs from 1972, it isn’t really the Crowes. I’ll be keen to listen to it, but have a hard time getting as stoked as I should.

I assume the song isn’t actually up anywhere since it is presaves everywhere? It isn’t up at Qobuz.

Which Crowes are you talking about?

The 1st Demo Crowes including Rich, Chris, Jeff Sullivan?
The Mr. Crowes Garden Quartet?
The first 5-piece: Robinson x2, Gorman, Johnny Colt and Jeff Cease?
The Crowes before Harsch with Chuck Leavell on keys?
The Crowes with Harsch and Cease or with Harsch when Cease was replaced by Marc Ford?
The Crowes with Audley and Pipen?
The Crowes with Greg Rzab?
The Crowes with Ford and Pipen but not Gorman ?
The Crowes with Luther Dickenson?

I mean there have been so many lineup changes over the years.

And since Eddie Harsch died - I'm never getting back what I consider to be the best lineup anyway: Long Haired Super-Beard Jesus Christ Impersonator Chris; Reliable Rich and Steve; Bluesy Marc Ford and Cowboy Johnny Colt.

Personally, I could give a :poop: who they roll out so long as I'm getting some of that Hardest Working Band In Rock N' Roll sound that seems to have gone extinct.

And while we are on the topic - and I know its not the hot takes thread - but Steve Gorman's drums are mid bro. They ain't' dog-water, but they ain't bussin' either.

I didn’t the think the last one was good enough to be featured twice at Mag, I highly doubt this one is worth a hundred to me. The weird hell yeah responses have to be because all the WTF replies have been deleted, no?

It’s like walking into a kegger and saying “my name is Lee and my last drink was three years ago.”

Real difference is at the kegger, I’m either being laughed at as a buffoon or being beat the fuck out of.

The dude with a six pack at an AA meeting is getting lots of open jaws and murmuring.
 
I just got a newsletter from 1234 Go and it looks like the indie variant for the upcoming Waxatchee album is also on Red vinyl. I would assume it’s on opaque red or some other slight change to differentiate it from the Seasick Records pressing but if some were bummed out since they missed out on red colored wax it looks like there will be plenty more on red available at local indie retailers.
