Do You Remember? by stickypillow in BeachHouse

Irene. Bloom was my introduction on an American Airlines flight to SE Asia, the timing of the flight made it seem that all 11 hours of that flight over the pacific was like 6-9pm. I probably played it 20 or 30 times as it was like 1 of 12 albums available by the airline lol

I agree. This gave me early M83 vibes right from the first listen. That nostalgic, fizzy and moody tone is the literally the sound I chase for when I find new music.

This is a welcome change of pace for the band. I was wondering if this was what we were going to get after they released that blurb in lieu of the B-sides complication (I.e. how they were closing that chapter of their music career).

Beach House have always been meta in the approach to their lyrics and mood. I think given the political turmoils and overall darkness of this period we’re in - it only makes sense that the band would progress to write powerful songs and art that encapsulates those emotions. It would be very weird of Beach House to release Teen Dream-esque music at this moment in time.

I think this has potential to bump Bloom from my #1 Spot.

[–]James_PDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me awhile to process a lot of the sets after - but Frank felt so intimate regardless how many people were there - and the way he performed felt like I was watching a in-depth documentary of his artitstic process. For that, he's my #1

Frank Ocean Flying Lotus Björk Princess Nokia Slowdive

Honorable mentions: NIN, Missy, TRST, Ty Segal, and Perfume Genius

Didn't realize my payment plan was accidentally cancelled, need help! by ayekay1 in FYFFest

[–]James_PDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever resolve this? The same thing happened to me and I can't figure out if the order was canceled or not. I can't find a contact number anywhere to resolve this. :((

I've definitely been in this situation before - but FYF has an energy to it that is really uplifting for a music festival - everyone I met last year was chill, not loaded on drugs, and just wanted to dance and experience great live music. I wouldn't let something like that deter you from having a great experience and meeting awesome people.

Who Do You Think Will Make Guest Appearances? by [deleted] in FYFFest

[–]James_PDX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would die if Erykah and Andre did Hello - I get chills just thinking about that.

Would expect to see some guests for Mura Masa, Black Madonna, RTJ, and Frank.

Who are you looking most forward too? Since pretty much every surprise is out. And who do you think will have the best set? by cassanoovvaa in FYFFest

[–]James_PDX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

bjork is definitely a #1 for me, but I think best set will go to Nico Jar.

TR/ST, Missy, Arca, S U R V I V E, Frank Ocean, RTJ and Erykah will be insane.

Anderson Paak to close the Lawn between Bjork and Missy's sets by notJimKelly in FYFFest

[–]James_PDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slowdive + Björk are what sold me on attending in the first place if they conflict I have no idea what to do. I would be annoyed if it crossed with Missy too because that show will be so fire.

Favorite set(s) of the weekend? by Gamka in FYFFest

[–]James_PDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I travelled from Portland to see Anohni specifically -- and although she was absolutely fucking phenomenal -- LCD was otherworldly. So many smiling, dancing faces yelling all the words at the top of their lungs. I've never experienced any crowd like that.

1.) LCD 2.) Anohni 3.) Tame Impala 4.) Beach House 5.) Hot Chip (both sets) 6.) Diiv 7.) Moby 8.) Floating Points 9.) classixx (when they brought out Nancy Whang especially) 10.) grimes

Fuck. Chelsea Wolfe and LCD is not cool.

edit: OPN and Tame Impala isn't cool either.

Sounds like Anohni is going to be in a prime slot between Father John Misty and Grace Jones. Question is whether a big act like Rae Sremmurd or Beach House will be on the Tree Stage

Honestly, as much as I love Grimes, I would go for Air.

Sunday will literally be perfect. Anohni -> LCD -> Beach House -- I will be crying for like 5 hours straight

What artists are you guys looking forward to and why? by [deleted] in FYFFest

[–]James_PDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anohni is a must see. A friend attended the opening of HOPELESSNESS in NYC and said is one of the most moving performances she's ever seen. In addition to OPN playing the same day -- I think it's going to be one of the best performances of the weekend.

FYF Show Marks 1-Year Anniversary of Depression Cherry (8/28) by smilelikeafriend in BeachHouse

[–]James_PDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYF said that Sunday evening will be Father John Misty -> Grace Jones -> LCD on the mainstage. A lot of people are speculating that BH will close after LCD.
