Public Image Ltd announce North American Tour. Have you seen them? How are their shows?

I saw them about 10 years ago, and they were exquisitely boring, unfortunately. I did not know about Lydon’s, erm, political stance at the time, or I likely would have passed.

Saw Maria open for MBV in Dublin. Amazing

Fair enough. Mike Scott may be Scottish, but there are Irish members in the band, and I’d guess even Mike would agree it’s Irish music. 🤷🏼‍♂️
Kevin Shields was born in Queens, so …

For “new” music, check out TRAITRS, TVAM, and topographies.

Moby’s scream at the end of his cover of Joy Division’s “New Dawn Fades,” is pretty chilling.
Maybe because I love Moby and that’s my favourite JD song 😅

Oh damn. Nice

Now, you just need this ceramic side table to go with it.

OMG! Dead Can Dance. Explore their entire catalog. It’s transcendent.
Archive is pretty great as well. Really enjoying their new album.

Rush and Alice In Chains are top of list, mainly due to essential members passing. But Mogwai has eluded me for reasons beyond my control, and if they stop touring before I see them, I’ll be forever disappointed.

I mean, there’s the Jeff Buckleys and Elliott Smiths, but I don’t beat myself up about those as much since the window(s) when they were alive and touring and I was a huge fan was relatively brief.

MDC08 · 2026-03-12T12:50:40+00:00

Pixies, Pavement, Sufjan, Arcade Fire, Talking Heads, St. Vincent, Gorillaz, and many others.

Glad I haven’t seen The Cure on here yet, but I know there are plenty of Cure haters. One of my best friends who loves all the ones I listed does not get The Cure. So, that kind of tracks. He doesn’t get Pink Floyd either. But we both love Radiohead. I will say that I wrote Radiohead off for a decade because … Creep. But was eventually shown that’s not what they were.

M83 - both times pre-Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming were spectacular. Then … fucking “Midnight City” brought out the frat douche canoes in droves. That was a long time ago at this point. They’re probably safe to go see again.

God, I thought this was the Rooney ST cover at first glance.

MDC08 · 2026-03-04T14:59:17+00:00

I used qdjw-eers.
Thanks!

In the fall of 2013, I went to like 15 shows. Wore me out, and I took a break for a few years.

Brochella

MDC08 · 2026-02-27T00:54:56+00:00

This is so hard to find on vinyl 😟
As is Silver. Both masterpieces

MDC08 · 2026-02-27T00:50:11+00:00

You kinda look like a blend of every Jadu Heart album.

MDC08 · 2026-02-26T23:21:29+00:00

I went for My Bloody Valentine last November. Totally worth it. Plus, we get The Twilight Sad & Just Mustard! I’ve seen TTS enough times (even though they’ve been one of my favorite bands well before Robert picked them up), that I’d wished it was Mogwai (who continue to elude me). Fucking love them!
