I don't mind Phish. I have to be in the mood, in small doses, and specific selections from the catalog. But RRHOF? Nah.by zoo
No worries. I would probably want clarification on that as well since nobody could possibly think he's cool. That said, he's apparently a friendly guy according to Michael T., so he's got that going for himby zoo
"Cool" meaning they liked his music, which I couldn't understand.by zoo

I couldn't get past the first paragraph. But I've had that problem before with Pitchfork. I tried reading an article or review about some rap mixtape a few years ago and literally couldn't comprehend the words on the screen, as if it wasn't written in English. So, are all the "talented" writers completely gone now from Pitchfork? https://trouserpress.com/forum/rby zoo
Maybe he should openly criticize the current UK government and see how well that goes.by zoo
Only old school UK punk. Primarily The Damned, and The Stranglers if you consider them punk. The Clash every once in a blue moon. Otherwise, I still listen to tons of post-punk.by zoo

I was already a bit of a fan of The Stranglers for a few years, specifically two albums: La Folie and The Raven. For some reason, mainly because of the lukewarm review on All Music, I never gave Black and White a chance. When I finally did about 5 years ago...wow. It is soooooo good.by zoo
Wow. Bummer!by zoo

That new Swerverdriver song is pretty cool. I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the EP, just wish it was a full-length.by zoo

I read about this yesterday. Blue Murder was pretty good for what they were. Check out "Valley of the Kings." Although primarily known as a guitarist, the dude could really sing.by zoo
I'm no Black Flag fan, but I am familiar with their music and was curious to see and hear Vallely. I found a video on YouTube from a 2024 show in Philadelphia, and to my ears, he sounds great for those songs. Delvin's review makes him sound pretty grumpy, which can be entertaining as long he's otherwise giving effort to the performance.by zoo
Following up on more 2024 releases, most recently the latest from Imperial Wax (featuring ex-members of The Fall). Good stuff! I really like the guitar work. Vocals are OK, but not enough to put me off entirely.by zoo
My personal opinion...Coldplay would be more highly regarded if they stopped after their fourth album. (Coincidentally or not, that's where the TP entry ends.) It's been all downhill from there.by zoo

I went to two, and Beat was definitely the better gig (over The Chameleons, mainly because of the venue and horrendous sound quality).by zoo
According to Spotify, the song I played the most this year was "Economies of Scale" by Steven Wilson. It was released in 2023, so I guess not that relevant to a "best of 2024 list." As for 2024, other than The Cure, I didn't purchase an album released this year. These are the only others I listened to more than once on Spotify, meaning I found them at least somewhat iby zoo

I figured there has to be more than one musician named Matt Johnson.

I was never a huge fan of The Pixies, but I've always liked them. I could create a playlist with 25-30 songs and really enjoy it. I haven't listened to any of their new music since they reformed except 2019's Beneath the Eyrie, which I thought had some good tunes on it. I saw them live in the early '90s in Miami Beach, in their "prime" you could say...no talk aboby zoo

Great story, STEVE. I also grew up in Miami, but I'm ten years younger than you. Where in Miami did you live? I lived in Kendall, not too far from Dadeland Mall, real close to Baptist Hospital.by zoo
