March 2016

The National - Morning Dew

Jeffrey:  Courtney Barnett's strung out, deadpan thing (which I typically dig) is probably not the best match for Speedway Boogie, which requires a certain gusto.



Kendrick Lamar - Untitled 03

Shmoo:  It's a jam session jazz album. The type of stuff that'll get spins in River North and Logan Square. This dude is playing a different game.



Sturgill Simpson - In Bloom

Pooh Bear:  I listened to this yesterday and fucking hated it but now I think I love it? So confused!



WOODS - Moving To The Left

Ding:  Mad deep in the Woods right now and I can't find my way out. Hitting the back catalog hard.



Car Seat Headrest - Vincent

Jo Jo:  The idea that we get hooked on bad songs because they're played on repeat doesn't seem novel to me. I also like smoking cigarettes even though they're bad for me. It's ironic that Billy Corgan is interviewed in this piece because "1979" is a flaming pile of shit that became popular because it was played on alternative radio 24/7 until we all just kind of gave up and agreed it was a hit.
