Full album is on YouTube if you didn't buy the record. The first 2:15 was pretty solid but it didn't do much for me after that.

I liked these guys better when they weren't a band anymore. 

I liked The Way You Used To Do much better. It sounded like something new from them, while the newer single just sounds like a Them Crooked Vultures B-Side.

I'm really liking Boneface's work again. But I'd love to go back to the days when the art was pretty shitty but the records ruled.

I lived in VT for about 15 years. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions!

Hill Farmstead is about an hour or so from Stowe, but the lines can be long. It is your best, and generally only bet, if you want to have Hill without going to a beer bar.  If you are cool with consuming it in a bar you don't generally need to drive that far. Prohibition Pig, Blackback Pub and Mad Taco are your best beer bars in the Stowe/Waterbury area. The Bench and The Reservoir are pretty solid as well.  
 

If you can travel near the Stowe area get up to the Mule Bar in Winooski (The Monkey next door also often has a great list) or down Three Penny Taproom in Montpelier. Both are about 20 minutes from Stowe are your best bet for beer lists full of great local stuff. Getting Alchemist beer is easy, just go there. Lawson's can be trickier but shouldn't be too bad. Just ask a bar tender at any of the bars with a decent list. 

Foam (in Burlington) and Frost (in Hinesburg) are less sought after but do decent beer. River Roost has been getting some love but they opened after I moved.

Music on the disc > cover art

 

C'mon VC, you're better than this

Not when half the stuff is novelty kitsch for dorks like me! I listen to the majority of my soundtracks, save a few, rarely to never. 

I buy this stuff almost exclusively for the quality of the art. There has been a noticeable quality dip in vision and execution in my opinion. They release so much now so it was bound to happen. I suspect the also make more money so good on them. 

Anyway. My unsolicited two cents. If y'all wonder why the thread title never gets updated anymore, there you go.

The deal with Burlington College was a bad one and I suspect if he had made it to the general it would have been a much bigger deal. 

A lot of it is old news if you are from Vermont. It has been covered extensively by Seven Days and VT Digger for a few years if you feel like reading up 

This new single is awesome. I'm absolutely sure some people will hate it but if they want to do a dance record I'm all for it.

Which is weird because I think the new DFA1979 is garbage for the same reason. 

That's a hell of a rant! 

I've spent a good amount of time in both Philly and Montreal. I think Montreal is the better city in my opinion. Philly would be fine but Danbury is kind of, ehhhhh. I could be worse I guess. 

Go for whatever is the best career move. You can always leave.  

No resale value on this one Ben. You might want to pass. 

I don't know what all the fuss is about here. I think it's fine if queer bands hate straight people. Just because I chose to be straight doesn't mean they have to respect or agree with my decision. 

It's a free country.

So those who have listened what do you think?

 

I listened twice and nothing really stood out. 

 

Nocturne is the best song on the album, imo

Huge Lanegan fan but this release isn't really landing for me. I've tried a bunch to get into but I only really dig a track or two. 

Hope others are having more luck.

You sure those aren't from the inauguration? I heard it was the largest ever.

I guess since I've seen that 'overexposed' style so often since grunge typography was all the rage in the late 90's that I don't really associate it with Deafheaven. (At least not to the extent of the prism w/ PF)

I would love to hear an elaboration on this. 

For all the supposed outsiders Trumps campaign is the same as the rest. 

Approval ratings in the shitter. Better drop a bomb on someone. Mouth breathers love that dick waving.

Not sure what you mean, but there are people, including myself, that think it was their best album. 

Sorry. Wrote from my phone quickly. I meant the writing and  recording process. 

I'll pay soon. Just checking in to confirm. Not on the boards as much anymore. 

Curious to see what they cook up this time. Last record was pretty different and by all accounts, a rough effort. 

Dunno if they'll double-down on that vibe or pull a 180. Or what. Excited to find out.

Looking at my roster, my batting should be aight but my pitching is atrocious.

Anyone wanna talk turkey.

Me too! Granted, I auto-drafted so it is always a crapshoot. I kind of like my team though!

I miss The Chariot...

Same. Thankfully this project is better so I quickly move on. 

That said, I don't looooooove this single.

This is so generic I looked for the Skip Ad button for the first 20 seconds.

Hey dudes. Looking for a little help finding stuff of a certain sound. In an effort to avoid describing it clumsily here are a few videos. If you have any more that sound like this, let me know. More specifically, stuff that sounds like these songs, not these artists in general.

I know there's a small crowd on VC who celebrate her material, and that's fine, but I've legitimately read comments (elsewhere) that praise her "gloomy" aesthetic and champion her as the queen of sullen indie.  It's just a relief to hear you parodying that instead of supporting it – I never know on these boards, anymore.

I think Alexandra Savior has taken that crown now anyway.

Do you think they actually consider what they're pressing onto vinyl, or do they just grab a rip of some bullshit OST off Pirate Bay and hope for the best at the pressing plant?

This is a picture disc that will be a nostalgia purchase or perhaps nabbed by the occasional completionist. Nobody is actually going to play it. So, my man, the question is moot.

The upstairs has always been odd there, it wasn't so open before the remodel though.  Used to be a few bathrooms up there, a little bit of seating and the bar.  Now it seems like they expect people to sit up there and drink and watch the show on the TVs.  There were a few bars on the floor that got removed too.  They used to do a lot more 21+ shows, but I'm wondering if they're focusing more on AA shows now.

 

And yeah, show was great.  I would've gone for any of the three.  I guess Emma Ruth Rundle lives in Portland now, so I'm hoping her playing here becomes a regular thing.

Yeah, that makes no sense to me. Especially because the cameras feeding the TV seem to be garbage. She was awesome. Went in to that one blind, became a fan.
