"the post-hippie/pre-AIDS culture that then set the basis of electro and metal to give us a unique, violent and crazy 80s"? Is this some European's perspective of America after taking a post 1950's US history course?

any legal way to watch the first few eps without signing up and paying for an overpriced and otherwise completely meaningless to anyone in the world Showtime sub? I guess that was their whole point to getting the TP revival

I was waiting for the onslaught of bigotry claims, but it appears the white knights are taking a very subtle approach to combat the sheer intolerance of this devastating fat joke

Man, am I sick of hearing this one. People have simply lost the ability to have honest, open, emotionless debate.

I think your response is really aggressive and you are just doing exactly what you said you hate about the board. You are literally no better than the people you are calling out by calling him a fuckhead or anyone else a fuckhead on the board.  This isn't meant to be a smart ass post but please take a second and read his message than read yours, yours is 10 times more aggressive.

what is the point of having customer service if they aren't authorized to give refunds? Its such a "we are going to make it as hard as we can for you" so you forget about it routine. 

Going through the exact same thing with "carly" right now.

But also, this is a good time to remind people that having an emergency fund that is equal to 3-6 months of your rent is important.

 

In the last few months my cat had an emergency vet visit, I had an emergency room visit including ambulance ride, and the wife needed four new tires for her car. We cut back on our spending a bit, but didn't have to scramble to get anything taken care of. Thanks emergency fund! Not a judgment on anyone, or bragging, just a reminder to try to save what you can for a rainy day.

This is the advice Americans need but never heed.

Thread update: 10 pages later we have reached the Bull Moose Circle-Jerk Phase. Even when Bull Moose does wrong they get tugged. Not even in SRC's wettest dreams could they aspire to that status (and for good reason). But for real, BM is usually great and all, but something like this is no reason to be celebrating them. You can criticize but still approve of them.

You act like James Murphy has no roots in punk music, this is exactly what his background would lead him to want to write about

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Great tracks!

songs are fine to listen to, not disagreeing. also not saying there is anything wrong with liking music for the sound alone. but just because someone has "punk roots" does not mean they have ever been political, lyrically. i was making a comparison between artists who have always been political, and those who have never been but suddenly found the courage in 2017 (its not courage at all). Others might disagree, but I would argue 2017 has seen the biggest wave of artists-gone-political than the start of any year in recent memory. There is something to be said for that, and its not just the recursive "#dumptrump". joining a million voices already saying the same thing is not  political courage, and its definitely not punk rock. end rant, sorry i just completely lose some of my formerly favorite artists when they start writing this stuff i dont care about.

Personally, I'm a big fan of music that sounds good when it goes in my ears. I know that's a bit of a hot take nowadays, but goddammit, when a song sounds good I can't help but enjoy it. These songs sound really good to me, so call me old fashioned, but I'm a fan.

thats very new-fashioned, in fact. to care only about what sounds good and not at all about the message an artist is sending through lyrics literally defines pop music fans and what makes pop music popular now.

Any news on a 7" of the new songs?

Also anyone tired of their christmas 7" and want to sell it?

im tired of many artists that I listen to, who managed to stay admirably apolitical for decades, finally finding their political "courage" when it has never been easier than to be anti-Trump in 2017. boring. not courageous. feigned political acumen. I might not agree with many of the views of anarchist punk bands that have been political for decades, but they have far more say than Gorillaz and James Murphy in my book. anyone else miss music about real life? politics isnt real life

spinning my copy now.  can't believe we seriously have a new ATDI album.  my first reaction is it sounds way more like an Antemasque album with the vocals.  But I mean, obviously Cedrics voice has changed a lot in 18 years.  Just doesn't sound much like ATDI.  I don't dislike it by any means, its just not the ATDI vibe.  Couple more spins though and I'm sure I'll be hooked.  Hope they tour the US again this fall.  Their show last month in NYC was amazing.

i'll use this intro to say that the antemasque album was underrated (or not rated) and should be listened to. and yes, TMV is a top 5 band, according to me.

Color speculation is infinitely more interesting and engaging than reading about everyone placing 3 orders and bicker or fight with one another.  And it's the first color presss this album has seen in 20 years.  Let me have this.

Haha fair enough. I'm just pissed ive spent  a total about 15 minutes over the last 24 hours reading each  post on this thread. Then I realize this is a personal problem, and proceed to take it out on said thread.

And folks, we've entered the vinyl coloration speculation stage. This thread is only a young 26 going on 27. Much more to come! I eagerly await the "shipping notification/no shipping notification" stage, still over a month away.

A word about the vinyl… Vinyl Release of Portugal. The Man's Woodstock Delayed: A Choose-Your-Own-Excuse Press Release.

For reasons that are complicated and boring, and frankly, reasons that we've been politely asked by our record label not to discuss, the release of Portugal. The Man's new album, Woodstock, on vinyl will be delayed past the album release date. If you'd like to read more about how the band is going to make up for it, please go to the last paragraph. But if you would like a more satisfying excuse at which to direct your disappointment and umbrage, please select one below.

A) Alex Jones Goes Vinyl Lawyers for conspiracy theorist and part-time Portugal. The Man rival Alex Jones have recently described his show as "performance art." Fully embracing this new moniker, Jones has decided to eschew the right-wing radio airwaves for a more artful medium: vinyl records. The move has redirected over 95% of the supply of vinyl to Austin, where Jones is pressing each day's show into an 8-disc box set with well-designed, race-baiting artwork. "My art has finally found its format. It's like you're in the room with me as I yell my incoherent ramblings," Jones said. "You can almost feel my spittle hit you in the face." The massive redirection of America's vinyl supply has, of course, delayed Portugal. The Man's new album, Woodstock. Losing to China, Mexico & Now Great Britain In what many experts are calling a "Reverse British Invasion," Great Britain now accounts for nearly 100% of all vinyl sales. The popularity of records across the pond has caused both record labels and distributors to nearly eschew the American market altogether. As a result, good ol' American bands like Portugal. The Man are having to delay U.S. vinyl release dates. But help is on the way. The White House released a statement saying, "First, they're taking our jobs, and now they're taking our vinyl. It won't stand." Followed by, "Now, vinyl records, what is that exactly?" C) Sorry, Bro. We Spaced on the Vinyl. Listen, you can't release a custom blend of weed designed to be paired with your new single "Feel It Still" AND get all the songs to the company that presses your vinyl on time. The world doesn't work that way. You can have a fun rock band, or you can have a punctual rock band. But not both. OK? We'll make it up to you.

To make up for the delay, and because the band believes their music is best heard on a turntable, Portugal. The Man will be sending people who pre-order the vinyl special limited-edition art created by lead singer John Gourley. Of the limited artwork, there will also be even more limited, special-edition versions of the art in black (300 pieces), purple (50 pieces), and gold (one piece, framed) sent out randomly to pre-orders. And, of course, when you order the album on vinyl, the digital download will be available on the release date at no extra cost. The band is very sorry about the delay, and they appreciate everyone's patience.

not quite tongue-in-cheek enough for me
