finally spinning it properly

really good

[psychobain]

that scream and shout part of afterlife is so addicting

Heavens, yes.

[stip]

that scream and shout part of afterlife is so addicting

it is. I don't even know if I like the song that much, but that's a serious earworm chorus

[wilkins]

Still loving the new record. And now they're playing Bangor, Maine, 2.5 hrs away, hotel already booked.

Tuolumne posted a RS interview with Noel Gallagher in another thread, the Bowie/Arcade Fire parts were amusing:

So the Bowie album lived up to your expectations?
I thought at the time, and I still think now, that it's a fucking masterpiece. I love it. Nobody has the right to be that fucking good at this point in their career. Apart from Neil Young, all of the people that are in his league are basically fucking shit. Do you know what I mean?

Did you hear Arcade Fire's new album?
I haven't heard it. Anybody that comes back with a double album, to me, needs to pry themselves out of their own asshole. This is not the Seventies, okay? Go and ask Billy Corgan about a double album. Who has the fucking time, in 2013, to sit through 45 minutes of a single album? How arrogant are these people to think that you've got an hour and a half to listen to a fucking record?

Did you see that they've asked people to wear formal wear or costumes at their shows? [Ed. Note: Arcade Fire has clarified that this dress code is "super not mandatory."]
[Sighs] Well, what's the point of that? Do you know what the point of that is? That is to take away from the shit disco that's coming out of the speakers. Because everybody's dressed as one of the Three Musketeers on acid. "What was the gig like?" "I don't know, everyone was dressed as a teddy bear in the Seventies." "Yeah, but what was the gig like?" "Ah, fuck knows, man, I have no idea. I was dressed as a flying saucer." "Yeah, but what was the gig like?" "Fuck knows. I don't know. Seen Cheech and Chong, there, though." Not for me.

You know Bowie sings backup on one of Arcade Fire's new songs, right?
Oh, that's a shame.

He's spot on about the latest Bowie album.

[psychobain]

so good

[LetMeSleep]

This new album is growing on me. I listened to the first 5 tracks without swearing the other day. Even was tempted to listen again yesterday. This bodes well.

[spike]

weren't both what's the story morning glory and be here now well over an hour in length?

The second part of this is wonderful. Here comes the night pt2 and Porno are my favorites.

[dimejinky99]

So did everyone fall out of love wit this or what?

[Norah]

Absolutely not.

[spike]

yeah, it's a classic.

[washing machine]

I almost picked this up today, but I bought something else instead.

[Norah]

God damnit, Reid.

[washing machine]

I know, right?

[Monkey_Driven]

This is beginning to grow on me. I don't think it will every rank higher than their first three.
