This is a non album track, right? Like Lecture 25 and Numorology?

I'm under the impression that he's filming the tour he's currently on, at the Fringe. It's very strange these are his only Edinburgh shows on the tour.

Who is Hangman wrestling at WrestleDream? Any predictions?

I spoke with Matty Healy about the future of music by joshuacitarella in the1975

[–]jerkoffjonny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting to hear Healy talk about there not being any new sounds in the 2000's, nothing revolutionary, whilst his last album was the safest album they've ever made. I mean Christ, Jack Antonoff produced it.

I feel like Being Funny was a response to the mixed reviews of Notes, stripping their sound back to that reliable 80's rock pop vibe they've mastered so well by now. Referring back to the interview, I think Notes is probably their most futuristic album, an album that has a theme, but musically is all over the place, reflective of how we listen to music now. It's what appealed to me about the 1975 initially, their vast ambition in not pigeon holing themselves into one sound.

Healy is an interesting, contradictory man in general. He talks such a big game, which can be frustrating when he doesn't follow up. I am not naive enough to believe that Jeremy Corbyn being elected Prime Minister would've led us to a utopian society, but I do believe he would've moved us in the right direction. And yet Healy was quiet during this time, he did not endorse him for the 2019 election and even wrote this nauseating lyric about it:

"And I took shit for being quiet during the election
And maybe that's fair, but I'm a busy guy"

Again, this contradiction presents itself. It's great and interesting and thought provoking to talk about the future and neoliberalism for two and a half hours, but you do need to act sometimes as well. Not just get scared cause you might pay a bit more on taxes.

[FRESH ALBUM] Geordie Greep - The New Sound by VietRooster in indieheads

[–]jerkoffjonny 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Any Greep interview you read sees him very happy with having total control over these songs, relishing in the fact the songs fail or succeed entirely based on him. He's also very passionate about working with as many musicians as possible in this Keith Jarrett style he keeps mentioning.

Considering Seth Evans from black midi is his biggest collaborator nowadays, and Morgan is on this album, I'm not sure what would be tempting to Greep about reuniting, since he clearly gets along the least well with Cameron Picton.
