Me: More interested in hearing about any fascinating details. Andrew Watt did the album.
Him: I can give you details on the new Khraungbin single

A. Our 30 year friendship has reached its natural conclusion
B. I now need newer, better friends
C. give me his number so we can talk about Real Estate.

Thanks for quoting this so I didn't have to...No way that post deserved to be bottom-paged.
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Can you talk shit about the production of a random selection of songs instead?

Agreed...Great band...not PJ...

No shame in admitting that I'm now happily on the other side of the generational chasm

I like many newer bands, but, none of them are ever going to fill those foundational slots in my life.

"New band"
Showing your age there a little, too :D

Anything within fifteen years is considered "new" in this apartment.

Nothing to do with the age of the band.

Let's get you back to bed though, gramps.

I heard Breath today for the first time in a long while.

Dayummmmmmm

They had this air of tragedy and pathos in their prime, leaving you with an unsettling feeling inside.

Oh well, I guess it’s unrealistic to expect a similar level of emotional investment from them at this age. Still I wonder if Dark Matter will try to reach those depths of only just a bit. One can dream, eh

Khruangbin definitely rules its own particular roost. I need to listen to B-Side now…

I do enjoy an afternoon nap every now and again after my Ensure lunch

Calling a band "new" doesn't have anything to do with the age of a band?
I guess every band is new if you're hearing them for the first time!
