Trying to justify liking this turd with something other than “I am a Phoenix fanboy!”
it's no 1901/Entertainment, not that they need to continue to do the same thing
but I've tried again and I can't stand this new song and that video is just horrid

Glorietta - Glorietta
found out about another Adrian Quesada associated project… this one is a super group of songwriters knocking out a record over five tequila soaked days..
those involved
Noah Gundersen
Matthew Logan Vasquez
Kelsey Wilson
Adrian Quesada
Jason Robert Blum
David Ramirez
An interesting Americana record
https://glorietta.bandcamp.com/album/gloriettaAdrian's just released tribute to Balada Music "that blossomed throughout Latin America between the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. A refined collision of bossa nova smoothness, Beatlesque psychedelia and torrid boleropathos, balada used art-pop instrumentation (mostly strings and harpsichords)"
This is an amazing listen… Gonna get lots of repeat listens..

Quesada is definitely a modern day musical genius
Glad he made some $ with Black Pumas

Bettie Serveert - Palolmine
was mentioned on twitter yesterday and was prompted to give a listen after many many years… a couple real classics on this one "Kids Allright" and Tomboy.
and this is quite the origin story
The band originally formed in 1986, but its members split up for four years, following their first gig. They reformed in 1990, and released their debut album, Palomine, in 1992

Love that album
I need it on LP!
It’s sad how the band faded away
They had a killer album of VU covers
Saw them at the new 930

Loved Lamprey and caught them at the club on that tour
this was a funny footnote
Almost 26 years after starting the band, Bettie Serveert finally met the Dutch tennis player Betty Stö:ve on April 13 ’18. Her ’70’s tennis instruction books called ‘Betty Serveert’ were the inspiration for their band name.

I like lamprey which I do have on LP too
They lost me with Dustbunnies although I have later records
They had some great early b sides that I don’t think ever got compiled
Carol’s voice was perfect
I wish I had seen them more back in the day

Nice…does it have extra tracks?
I read this and I 100% agree
"some fans consider many of the songs on [this album] to be superior to their studio equivalent"

Zero extra…side D is a stupid etching
I had to buy it for sentimental reasons but kind of a waste of $45…if you have the cd….not sure it will sound any better on LP…probably a flat transfer from the cd
It sounds good and the records are flat but the alternate cover is a buzzkill…I wonder why?
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s released on black vinyl but I couldn’t be sure so I broke down…$45 was actually reasonable as it was going for $80 with shipping from Europe…

The Northern Pikes - Big Blue Sky

a couple weeks a bounty of great new albums out come…
One of them is Ural Thomas and the Pain - Dancing Dimensions
Ural is another soul singer who was active in the 60s and is having a resurgence of late with a hot band out of Portland. Probably already on Space's radar, this is great album which sounds great on headphones. Best of the year for sure…
Couple previous records out there as well…
