I saw G-Idle in Manila. It was such a blast. Everyone has mad high energy and Shuhua shines like moonlight irl. She has some crazy glow and charm that translates better on stage.
My fav still has to be Mamamoo tho. Great sound, great energy, and watching the girls perform each other's solo songs melts my heart. Wheein performing Solar's Honey is everything.

Nothing wrong with liking pop but she has vastly more money than I will ever earn. I rather support indie or up and coming performers that won't take my financial support for granted.
Also helps to enjoy a wide variety of music so if one scene is getting overpriced or doesn't tour your area, you can still enjoy and support other acts.
I'm so glad dynamic pricing does not exist in my part of the world. I'm still paying the price though because I watch a lot of kpop and boy is there a kpop tax 💀 💀 💀
Different song on the same album but Ghost has such a banger cover of Nocturnal Me
I feel like a moving target whenever I say I greatly prefer Echo & the Bunnymen over The Cure BUT I can't help it, their kind of 80s post-punk neopsychedelia is so good. Love all their albums from Crocodiles to self-titled, although I need to check out their later stuff.
Yessss link it to us!
I found Lemmy because I learned I could crosspost my relevant Mastodon posts to a Lemmy community. That's an easier way to get more posts, because I can get engagement from either Mastodon or Lemmy and it doesn't feel like I'm posting on a dead forum just to be forgotten about. Also I find myself checking up on that Lemmy community directly to see what other people are posting, because viewing the content from Mastodon is too messy.
Not sure if Antic Clay's Hilarious Death Blues is a concept album but man it's the darkest double album I've ever listened to, to the point that I would not recommend listening to it while depressed or going through some serious shit. It's a journey through an apocalyptic Americana and its very convincing in its beautiful hopelessness. It's Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian made into sonic flesh.

It's only been a billion years 😭
I'm a huge fan of the album and it was immensely influential in turning me into a life long lover of post punk. One of the hosts loves the album dearly as well.
The concept of the podcast, Kitschfork, is for the millennial hosts to reexamine favs from the Pitchfork era without the lens of hype or nostalgia.
The podcast episode goes over the album in song order and plays a snippet of each song. The lyrics are made fun of in the context of the album's concept, and Paul Banks being very pretentious about his writing process and intentionally cultivating a seedy party boy persona for the band that he can't live up to. They also discuss what makes the album good sonically from a musician's POV.
Daniel and Sam seem really chill but Paul and Carlos' interview responses have not aged very well. I'm perfectly fine with the idea of roasting some bad lyrics from 20 years ago when the work is appreciated in its entirety, good and bad.
They're baaaaack and looking gorgeous. I still prefer First over their other recent releases but I'll take any Everglow over no Everglow.
