why would anyone always never buy name brand drugs ever?

2020 New Music Thread
it's amazing the degree to which tame impala in no way resembles the band that put out innerspeaker in 2010. not into these last couple of albums at all.

Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, and Other Good Stuff
my ticket stub collection has been seriously impacted by digital tickets. i used to enjoy looking back at the end of the year at all the concerts i attended. oh well.

The Black Crowes Thread
that's where i disagree. they've rotated members in and out of the band since the beginning. i personally preferred the marc ford/eddie harsch era...but they didn't cease to be the black crowes when those members left. chris and rich wrote all the songs, they are the band. they get to decide who the other members are. it sucks for steve gorman but tough shit, sorry these assholes fucked you over.

The Black Crowes Thread
will be out of town or i would have tried for sure. also planning on seeing them at COTA this summer. it's a strange distinction to be willing to see the brothers as a duo but morally opposed to seeing a black crowes tour. either way they're the same assholes playing the same songs and you're still supporting them regardless of who is or isn't playing with them.

Stones playing Austin on Memorial Day Weekend
guesses on ticket prices? think i remember the zilker show was about $100 for general admission. might as well camp out at COTA for the night after the concert. that place will be a complete clusterfuck.

Pink Floyd
he still wasn't a full time member when the album was recorded, it was basically a gilmour solo project. nick mason didn't contribute much either. this was during the time period when waters was trying to sue the rest of the band for the pink floyd name...which i suspect had something to do with wright not being a full time member yet.
-
Pink Floyd
i don't understand your confusion. when waters left, wright became a member of the band again...which includes all of those albums you listed.
-
Pink Floyd
it's because he's dead. he wasn't writing any songs so waters got pissed and kicked him out of the band. he was hired as a session musician for the wall tour and joined the band again after waters left.

Sparta
the good news is that it can't be any worse than their last album.

New Scorsese Doc about The Band
Scorsese and robbie were roommates and friends, I expect this will not be an unbiased account. Fuck robbie Robertson.

Best Albums of 2019
Frankie and the Witch Fingers- Zam. High energy psychedelic garage rock. If you like The Oh Sees you should love this band. Favorite Track- Dracula Drug https://youtu.be/cSKXH24xQ5A King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard- Infest the Rats' Nest. They made a thrash metal album and it's fucking great. Very technical and prog metal at times. Favorite track: Self Immolate https://youtu.be/aHGI749-OLA The Well- Death and Consolation. Stoner metal, Sabbath riffs, great album. Favorite Track: Eyes of a God https://youtu.be/rsJoRbPoSow Steve Gunn- The Unseen In Between. Mellow modern folk, similar to Kurt Vile. Excellent guitar playing and great melodies. Album has the open atmospheric feel of a road trip. Favorite Track: Vagabond https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6-dwxvTQd0 The Growlers- Natural Affair. Continuing to progress their sound, this album is a mix of pop/funk often with a disco or reggae beat. Some solid songs and excellent lyrical themes. Favorite Track: Social Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlF7LOqp6xY Night Beats- Myth of a Man. Mellow R&B psych record recorded in Nashville with session musicians. A significant change from their last album but it grew on me a lot. Favorite Track: Her Cold Heart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYXBo2pdpUw&list=RDMYXBo2pdpUw&start_radio=1 Desert Sessions- Vol 11 + 12. Interesting collaborations and sounds. I like this more than the last QOTSA record. Favorite Track: Something You Can't See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8XIOz5E5ug&feature=emb_logo Sturgill Simpson- Sound and Fury. I don't mind the synths at all, feel like these songs are way stronger than anything on the last album. Favorite Track: Make Art Not Friends https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0-mjAB_Mig Mikal Cronin- Seeker. Same power pop as his previous albums but the lyrics and songs are darker with some nice string arrangements. Favorite Track: Show Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAC9bZjGv-U DIIV- Deceiver. Dark grunge/shoegaze with some good hooks. Favorite Track: Skin Game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAC9bZjGv-U

2019 New Music Thread

Beer 2019, imo.
this is the same lady who threw a fit about lou's bodega gentrifying the neighborhood and held a protest outside. but apparently as long as she has a stake in it, gentrification is totally cool.

Surly official camping and backpacking thread
around christmas is one of the busiest times of the year at big bend. you should still be able to find a camping spot as long as you're ok with backcountry.
