A WHOLE LOTTA LEAN MY NUTRITION

I have a couple of this bands songs in my playlist. Haven't listened to this album though just the songs you've posted. There's a lot going on in this song lol will need to re-listen.

Here's some cool stuff

one of my favorite songs of this decade tbh, studio version isn't on youtube for some reason
open.spotify.com/track/2AoM295tdV8R81cwY30Xgnzoo

and my favorite song music video I discovered this year this band has so many good songs

softer music

Fuji Kaze, started out as a piano prodigy but now makes decent pop music

Ahh dope that you read it. yeah the weird surrealism is definitely there. stories that have realism with little lapses of non-realism/magic realism have this creepy feeling to them (actually that show Atlanta had some of that, one of the few TV show I really enjoyed) but Arnold Friend being an anagram for "An Old Fiend", that weird moment when his foot resembles a hoof "One of his bools was at a strange angle, as if his foot wasn’t in it. It pointed out to the left, bent at the ankle", and eyes like “holes that are not in shadow but instead in light” and his weird ability to see things that are happening somewhere far away and the way he hypnotizes her at the end. The possible metaphor between the devil beguiling Eve with a shiny mysterious apple and Friend with his shiny mysterious car. anyway won't get too much more into the symbolism. Funny that you pictured Ramirez I always pictured him more like Charles Schmid with the jet black hair.

I'll definitely check out Denis Johnson.

If you like the Joyce story you'll probably like A Good Man Is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Connor. Really similar in a lot of ways.

A Good Man is a classic, one of my favs

Not feeling this Torres as much as her last one

Been back home from Brazil for like 3 days and I'm already sick of it here

Ooh there's a new Ducks Ltd album out in a couple weeks

Any Brazil stories?

One day we took my girlfriend's grandad's speedboat to a little island with a bar on and he got so drunk on whiskey that I had to drive the boat back. Was f***ing great I really want a speedboat now

But mostly just did the standard touristy stuff in Rio for a week then hung out at the fam's beach house in Angra dos Reis for a week. Was very chill

music video budgets are getting out of control

Had no money for the vid cause he went and bought himself a boat

attaboy gramps

Brandy Senki is been listening to them a lot. I'll check out the others. The first song is really cool.

I haven’t listened yet but it looks like the reception isn’t great. Shame cause her last one is probably my favorite

Put Vito on phone a******!
F*** You Mothafucka!

YEAH THATS RIGHT TELEPHONE TOUGH GUY

:fck:

KC again goddamn

I’m a bit mixed on the new The Smile record. Some of it veers closer to post rock at points. The meme of Thom moaning vague nonsense is actually kind of true here. There’s not many of his beautiful melodies. It’s a lot of singing as an instrument. The playing tho is fantastic and the atmosphere is strong. Under Our Pillows is probably my favorite off of it. It sounds almost like something Can would have done.

It’s not fair to compare this to a full Radiohead release, but I think it’s a little too understated and driven by “vibe” to be even as good as the first The Smile record. This one is more focused and consistent but there’s definitely higher highs and more variety on the last one. The official Radiohead thread is blowing this album so I’m not even going to bother sharing this opinion in there. Curious what y’all thought?

didnt get to listen yet

Well get back to me when you do. It’s definitely still very good and worth listening to. I’m just left a little underwhelmed by the songs individually.

Tom Brady sweating profusely rn
