The Hotelier - Goodness (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 319

ah really wanted to go but just got back in town last evening and was too beat

 

Come to Caracara. Fight me irl

 

Okay I feel a little less bad now

 

I didn't even know Ukie Club existed until last year. I'm seeing Caracara there soon and I'm excited to go to a venue I've never been at before. I've heard good things

 

I wonder what it’s like to live in a city that has venues that host more than 1 emo band every 14 months

 

Them: I was too tired so I changed my mind and didn’t go to the gig

Me: So if I leave work at 4:00 I can get to the venue I can get there in time for the opener and then if I leave a little early I can hopefully get back by 1:00

 

Huge feeling. Before Milwaukee had X-ray that was pretty much me going to any show in the Chicago area. Now I live in New Orleans which has great venues but no bands want to stop here.

 

David from Gulfer called it “Everybody Hits for Zoomers” and he was rly spot on

 

This lineup is bananas.

 

That's an insane lineup. So glad they're touring again.

 

Must be getting a decent pay day! Getting to Japan won't be cheap.

 

That makes Riot Fest much less likely and I'm ok with that.

Guess I'm going to Japan.

 

I'm curious to see if they've gotten bigger than they were. Getting on this website during their golden era you would think they were the biggest band ever and then every time I saw them they played to like 50-100 people. And now their openers are all selling out 400-500 cap rooms

 

I get the feeling that they carry a bit of the American Football ethos around them (before getting back together). They've been mentioned by members of huge bands as being a band they enjoyed or were influenced by - Matty Healy being the prime example in my head right now - and I'm sure some people have given them a shot and grown to love them.

 

This has overtaken Astral Weeks as my go-to spring album. Remains perfect in every way. A triumph, a high point for the genre. All the other hyperbolic shit I usually say.

 

This is fascinating because I consider Astral Weeks to be the essential autumn album.

 

I think it suits both transitional seasons pretty perfectly. I just link it more with spring due to the rain/garden/birth and rebirth imagery present throughout the record. Moondance is my fall album.

 

All good points. Saint Dominic's Preview feels pretty spring to my ears with how bouncy some of those tracks are—Jackie Wilson Said, Gypsy, title track, and the criminally underrated Redwood Tree.

Either way, this is all reminding me that I need to listen to my VMP press of Veedon Fleece that I finally secured and received yesterday ayyyyy.

 

what's this astral weeks album?

 

jk jk

 

Graceland is a big spring record for me, and As Tall As Lions s/t.

 

This is an album I don't associate with any particular season, but I could associate with any of the seasons.

 

This is an album that I associate with transcendence so the seasons matter not

 

Spring album for me, but also GOAT any time.

 

Total late Spring, full Summer album for me. Hot, full sun, birds chirping, under some trees, vibin' to this album. I recall a specific day I went on a longer joyride up through a nature preserve type area when this album came out listening to this, Pup's The Dream is Over, and Thrice's TBEITBN.
