Dust at Cubist Castle The Olivia Tremor Control

macca in 2018 so dont expect wall to wall classics or much in the vocal department at all, but he can still write a hell of a song. i was a bit apprehensive about his play towards a more modern pop aesthetic based on interviews but i think the songs that went furthest down that road ended up the strongest

Again. This is very likely my AotY. Very hard to see anything beating it out. I think it stands up to A Man Under the Influence as Alejandro's best work. Simply stunning.

I'm digging too. Cherry Blossom Rain is stuck in my head and ain't leaving anytime soon.

Had this on earlier this morning. You certainly have to be in the right mood and it requires your undivided attention.

The Mats influence is all over it. I mean, I guess I knew that, but I like hearing the real version a lot.

"Cemeteries" should join "Runaway Train" in DBT sets.

Also, I think the OG version of Buttholeville makes a more natural transition for the "State Trooper" tag than the greased up version we've come to know and love.

Presumably, at a much higher rate these days.

That line certainly held up.

Now that I can hear the instrumentation better I hear an influence I hadn't thought of before. Early Soul Asylum. Take a listen to the records Say What You Will... Everything Can Happen or Hang Time and you'll hear it. Pretty awesome. Like this great, lost indie treasure.

On a much smaller scale, it's somewhat similar to the Suitcase/Briefcase releases Pollard/Guided By Voices have done. Love hearing some of these early versions of what was fleshed out down the road.

Cheesy, sloppy, hilarious, creepy, majestic, and any other adjectives you can probably throw in between. Loved this when I was 15. Still love it in my mid-40's.

It took 13 minutes for them to play a note, and I thought I was having a bad reaction to medication or something (and I'm not on medication)
