Re: OT: Music Thread
I can't believe I only discovered Casiotone for the Painfully Alone in the past few weeks. I love everything I've heard, this is the first song that I came across (thank you, Spotify algorithm!). I love The Smiths, love witty/quirky indie music. So very in my wheelhouse.

Austin City Limits has been streaming on Hulu this weekend and it's been pretty fun. I think RHCP is closing it out.

Re: OT: Music Thread
That looks like a really big event for fans of that/those genre/s. I think that's every band I could possibly think of...plus 30 Seconds to Mars and Michelle Branch, for some reason
EDIT: Beach Bunny is kinda funny only in that they're like 20 and got famous on TikTok I can see how they fit adjacently though. Go see them if you do go. Cloud 9's a bop.

This is two years old, but it just showed up in my YT feed and boy am I glad it did.

These are two of my all time "close my eyes and enjoy the bliss" songs. I love them both very much, they make my heart swell. I hope you like them.

Wow, I haven't listened to of Montreal in many years. Another Athens (Georgia) band! Never saw them live, though. Thanks for sharing.
I like that classification for the songs. Here are two of mine.

Spoiler:
Silent Sigh! So good. I haven't listened to him in a while. We saw BDB at the Fillmore years back in support of his second album I think? He was soooo drunk. Had to have the band start over songs way too many times to count, climbed into the crowd, had everyone part for him, and then went on a weird singy tirade. We left before he finished—one of the strangest concert experiences of my life. I love The Hour of Bewilderbeast, not a bad track on it.
Mike, I was JUST listening to the Decemberists and really enjoyed this one as a sound departure (as much as one can with Colin Meloy's vocals):
The Decemberists are a band I have to listen to small bits at a time. Their older stuff can get a little too Portland Renaissance Fair (not that there is anything wrong with that) for my tastes, but I do sprinkle them in often.
Speaking of of Montreal, this is my favorite track from them by a mile. Feels epic :

I struggled a bit with I'll Be Your Girl. I liked and respect that they experimented with their own style a bit, but it didn't hit too well for me. I liked the subsequent Traveling On EP much more...which is more evolved Portland Renaissance Faire
They're my all-timers, though. I'd watch them perform the ABCs and be entertained.

One of my favorite bands of the last 20 years. Too bad more people don’t know about them outside their genre…

Big fan of The Decemberists over here, too.
I think my favourite part of I'll Be Your Girl is We All Die Young, just because the album was a departure for them (and that song is a good example of it) but Colin can't help himself and the song's about a ghost of some Civil War general.

Re: OT: Music Thread
Friends, I am not going to follow our standard posting format of providing a select youtube clip as I would like you to just experience the thrill I have. I recently spotted a casual mention of the band Dry Cleaning's new album Stumpwork as being rather good and offering something fresh and new, I jumped straight to the album and it was such a joy.
I encourage you to find this album and listen to it at your first opportunity without doing any further research- good for fans of music.

Listening to the Wings greatest hits album, cleverly titled Wings Greatest. Band On The Run is followed by Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey, I feel like in those 2 songs I went on a journey of nearly a dozen different songs each of which was one of the best power pop numbers you've heard in your life.

Re: OT: Music Thread
I kinda think they're always a little bull, but I'm really curious to see my Spotify rewind this year. I've had Pinegrove - Alaska and Sam Fender - Seventeen Going Under on my "New" Music playlist since March. I think the last time I had something on there that long was for The National, when I listened to The System Only... 2x more than anything else that year.

When I suspected my Spotify Rewind was bull I signed up for Last.fm and connected it. So I've got a year's worth of data right now.
My top ten songs are probably accurate. These weren't necessarily my favorite, but they were on my Spotify Liked list and that's what I listened to most:
1 - Halsey - Ghost
2 - Refused - New Noise
3 - Cold - A Different Kind of Pain
4 - Halsey - So Good
5 - ALL - Long Distance
6 - Delaney Jane - We Don't Sleep
7 - The Jim Carrol Band - People Who Died
8 - The Gaslight Anthem - We Came to Dance
9 - BANKS - Skinnydipped
10 - Ghost - Spillways
