What kind of music are you listening to?

Probably tear into stuff from the best of 2017 album lists tomorrow, but did give Charly Bliss a listen and they art fun stuff, liking their album Guppy so far and it's definitely going to grow on me with further listens.,

Too damn hot (and humid) to listen to non cruisey music. Me queue up some Fly My Pretties: https://flymypretties.bandcamp.com/album/string-theory

the anthem of every generation after the boomers

Right, 2 down off the albums of the year list, fuck knows how many more albums to listen to.

The Horrors - V Thoughts - not bad and I can understand why it's highly rated. Doesn't really catch my attention though, but I suspect that like certain other albums it'll grow on me with repeat listens. Would make for good background music, which is good since there's only a small selection of stuff I can use for that when reading at present.

Iron Chic - You Can't Stay Here. Me like, me like a lot. Sure the lyrics are heavy (it's grief-driven work) but daaaaamn, that composition. Then again, I'm biased towards punk and it's offspring :P


And Charly Bliss has carved out a deep grove in my brain, had some of their tracks playing in my head yesterday while doing a 20Km bike (mainly Scare U), along with the track Fear Is Like A Forest off Whole Lotta Sea Lice.

Holy shit, there's a new Worriers album out, there goes a couple of hours...

The problem with reading music sites - you can end up sent off track when you read other reviews and see stuff from artists you love and news ones.

Current deviations:

Today seems like a day for depressing music lawl, Phoebe Bridgers' album is still fluffing beautiful though

Eh? A Super Group that's more than the sum of it's parts? Not striking me right away, but then again neither did Sleater-Kinney the first time I gave them a listen.

Yesterday's link following and follow ups on best of the year lists gave lead me to give St. Vincent's Masseduction a listen. It's not bad and I can see why it's a darling of the critics simply due to damn near flawless composition (and that mastering, hello new sound test album), but doesn't really hit me aside from a few tracks (Los Ageless, Pills).

Next thing I chewed though was this:

There's some damn fine metal in there, but my ears like it not when lyrics are impossible to make out. Which a pain in the arse, since I really wanted to like Rampancy. Did finally give Cayetana a listen though and I love it, their album a New Kind of Normal is sweet music to my currently more rock/punk attuned ears.

And thread needs moar Charly Bliss!:

And no, I don't just like this song because it has "I bounced so I high I peed the trampoline" in the lyrics :P Chorus is stupidly catchy too.
