i added album posts to jam buds, since i've been living a long-player life lately and all my playlists have languished

i had a real unfair kneejerk reaction to the first shame album, along with some other uk punk albums around 2018-2019 - "i already have idles, why would i need this?" maybe it's because idles disappointed me on their last album, but now i feel like i'm much more into it. also, this just sounds like a parquet courts song lmao

finally got a copy of this ep. this was my bummer jam for 2019, but i spent all of 2020 too bummed to listen to stuff like this. i'm not saying 2021 has been any fucking better but i'm finally letting myself listen to sad music again, since sometimes, sad music is pleasant when you're sad. who would have thought

almost every song on this album could be drawn out and pressed to a 12"

this has been stuck in my head for fuckin days its a curse

super weird to hear unpitched vocals from this song thanks to a remix coming out six years later!!

here's the hot take on sussudio you've all been waiting for ever since i started getting into phil collins last year: this song basically sucks but the pre-chorus is really good. unfortunately this was enough to get this song permanently stuck in my head, and now im here, in hell

we're all getting into ska in 2021

this album really came and went with no fanfare at all, and was really a wisp of an album, a lotta 3 minute tracks with no time to breathe or develop into anything memorable this remix spins probably the best track on that album into uk garage and is really dang good, i hope they give more of those songs this treatment

i feel like the first 30 seconds of this seems like it's going to be a completely different song, though you can kinda guess where it's going from the bassline

i've been listening to a couple apple music japanese music playlists, and i feel like i've got a buncha stuff i want to post from those now. this is probably in those playlists as "hey, it's a city pop throwback like all those people on youtube like," but it sounds to me like steely dan

just going to slowly post 70% of this album track by track over the next few weeks probably

i haven't gotten around to listening to the new future islands record yet, but i did catch their live stream last week, and like half the set was pre-singles stuff! i forgot how good in evening air and on the water are
