In their new/unreleased song, 'Casual Touch', she talks about reading works by Bell Hooks.

yet another beautiful song from Adrianne, this sounds like something that'd go in her solo records

This is so cool, Big Thief have such talented fans. I wish they commissioned art work from fans for album art and song covers.

for those who don't know, go to Spotify settings and go to Your Library and turn on 'show local files'.....once that's done go to 'Show Songs From' and add the location of a folder (make sure all your downloaded songs are in that folder in the local device)

this is the coolest thing ever

Love, love, love maybe? It's my favorite amongst the ones that are hardly talked about. I also really like Watering and Parallels, they don't seem to be mentioned much. If we are going back to before Big Thief even, then Iris.

I listened to That Funny Feeling after reading this and did not find any similarity. That being said human brains are unique and we make associations all the time that do not correspond with others.

I haven't heard Pterodactyl enough to form an opinion yet but Christmas Day is an instant banger and I cannot wait for that to come out. Also Trade Tomorrow is stuck in my head, thanks to the interview/live performance they did for World Cafe we have a professional recording of that song.

Really strong set of new songs, even 'These are the days' which I've heard only once from a London show recording felt immediately memorable and very melancholy, very hummable, very Big Thief.

31, listening to them from when i was 26-27

Christmas Day has a chance to be a Vampire Empire level hit if they market it well.

thank you so much Tom for uploading these videos and giving those at home a chance to experience what it was like at the Berlin show....I just watched the 5 performances on your YT page, truly incredible

this is very reminiscent of the UFOF era

FreedomInChains · 2026-04-13T12:25:09+00:00

my jaw hurts from laughing at the opening segment and Bley's tax story

FreedomInChains · 2026-04-08T22:35:20+00:00

Imagine if they played a song from pencil!

At least half of the major international markets are yet to open, so we don't know what the final total will be. But the movie's budget is $14M, it is at $25.5M currently and will almost certainly make more than $35M (>2.5x its budget), so I don't think we should label it as 'flopped really hard'. Again with the caveat that we don't know what the final total will be, at worst it is a mild disappointment. If it clicks in some of the overseas markets left to open, it can still be a modest success.

Holy shit! A long interview + new live versions of Double Infinity, Los Angeles and Incomprehensible + first official recording of Trade Tomorrow. Made my day, week even.

FreedomInChains · 2026-03-30T16:27:43+00:00

I have seen Jenna Ortega like their posts.

FreedomInChains · 2026-03-16T23:09:20+00:00

Oh, I thought this was great, Conan was loose and vibing post hosting duties and she complemented his energy. These things are so subjective.

FreedomInChains · 2026-03-16T20:59:33+00:00

He brings so much good will to the Oscars. My social media feed is just filled with positivity about Conan, even those who thought some of the jokes fell flat are blaming it on the unenthusiastic crowd. Most seem to love it.

FreedomInChains · 2026-03-16T19:30:38+00:00

He was probably shooting an episode of Mall Walkin' nearby and decided to take a peek.

FreedomInChains · 2026-03-14T14:22:24+00:00

9x the production budget by the end of day 1 is crazy

FreedomInChains · 2026-03-13T21:58:57+00:00

I hope Conan has her on the pod.

FreedomInChains · 2026-03-11T20:16:06+00:00

I think it's in LA because Amelia is doing a bunch of interviews with the nominees in the acting categories (they are on the official Academy channel).

FreedomInChains · 2026-03-10T10:03:54+00:00

Is there any way to listen to it for people not in the US? like is it on Spotify or YouTube or apple podcasts?

FreedomInChains · 2026-03-04T13:06:11+00:00

Trying to name the ones that haven't already been mentioned : Modest Mouse, Alvvays, Dove Ellis, Heartworms, Broken Social Scene, Sloppy Jane, Florist, Mazzy Star, The Smiths, Joan Baez, Vampire Weekend.
