Earlier:


Not quite as bad as we all argue it as. The second half is better than the first, with 'Give up the Ghost' the best overall.

Now:

Underrated. Frusciante's writing and vocal parts are great here.

Grizzly Bear- Yellow House


I remember digging this album, but then completely forgot about this band/album. "Knife" is such a great song, too.

This one has the cover of “He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)” right?

Yeah, I forget about this one. More of a Veckatemist kinda guy and also not a devout Grizzly Bear fan, but this had some good shit on it.

Hmm not according to YouTube. There's no cover on this at all, also according to Amazon.com. I don't have a physical copy (but I'd like one).


I did listen to Veckatimist but it didn't snag me like yellow house. I'd love to hear more of their stuff though.

I save this album for only the special occasion these days but when it came out it was a classic where I was. Many lonely nights spent drifting along with it and trying to picture the Yellow House and pretending I was in it. You can hear the curtains and the windows and the wooden floor in every song. I forgot about it for awhile then listened to it in a van driving through roads lined with Red Woods and each tree was the house.

Later it became one of those rare albums that friends would just sit and listen to in silence, nothing more needed. I love this album and am blessed to have gotten into it at the perfect teen age.

Veckatimest was great but ignore the others imo.

Still working through Cobain's Top 50 list. I love this one

Well wherever that cover is it’s worth hearing.

Veckstamist is one of those , indie-rock’s-about-to-die but-but-first-there’s-this albums. Kinda hard to stay pumped about it years later, but it had some reeealy good songs, specifically “While You Wait for the Other.” Wow, that song. Put it on and it almost feels like interesting rock music isn’t a relic of the past.

Oh whoops the cover was from the “Friends” EP. I’m dumb.

Good tho

Grizzly Bear - “He Hit Me (It Felt like a Kiss)”

Teehee I did the same thing when I was a teenager.

hahahaaaaaaaaaa

i like it!

Oh yeah that is a good song. I'm listening to it now.

Whoah that’s weird. I was just listening to it too. :eek:

But probably not that weird because mentioning it probably got me in the mood, as it were.

Goddamn really fucking good song.

Possinltnone of the best rock-type songs of that period.

Not a "what I'm listening to" post but a suggestion: you Spotify degenerates better get jiggy with the Wilco Recommends playlist. The Wilco and Wilco-related stuff (Nels Cline 4, Glenn Kotche compositions) is just a portion of the list and the rest does not only include Wilco-like stuff —whatever the fuck that is at this point and all the better for it, motherfuckers— but cats like Wadada Leo Smith, DRINKS (awesome), Zeena Parkins, that JPEGMAFIA thing you keep talking about, Ingrid Laubrock, Mary Halvorson (mmmmhh) and much more!

damn

Didn't realize that they had released an album last year, huh.

Janelle Monáe – Dirty Computer

Wow! I'm speechless. Best pop album I've heard since FKA Twigs' LP1.
