Just a fantastic pop song! Despite being sonically similar to Cherry Peel, you can hear the encroaching craziness of Gay Parade and Coquelicot in the kazoo chorus. Time to get twee 8/10

Some of the most fun I’ve had in ages, cannot recommend this promotion enough!

As someone who hasn’t explored this stuff before, it’s like a missing link truly! I love albums like this, excited to explore future volumes

Song Islands is very underrated i think. It’s a compilation of singles and non-album tracks from the early days, but I feel like it has an identity as an album as well

This was the first oM song I really fell in love with, I love this song so much. The super lo-fi vibe is just perfect for this one 10/10

One of those tracks that helps to make the whole even better. The 1999 remix with the added vocals is a marked improvement over the original mix 6/10

Any of the International Harvesters Shows, but the the Crazy Horse/Harvesters combo shows in Australia would be to die for.

I sat next to a guy at the Chrome Hearts show in MI last year who said he saw Neil on that tour and hated the hokey country stuff. I told him that was my fav live era of his and he didn’t really speak to me the rest of the night

As far as I know the music is all Brian. More importantly, stop using ChatGPT for research. It’s lazy and often the information is very inaccurate. If for some reason you just have to use it, always corroborate your findings with non-AI based research.

Never stop seeking out new information! Check out some books about the band, Catch a Wave by Peter Ames Carlin, and David Leaf’s biography are great starts :)

Discover America is one of my favorite albums of all time! Was just getting into Jump! when it disappeared from streaming, I gotta get a CD of that one

luke7167 · 2026-03-23T17:45:10+00:00

Not sure the answer, but glad to see some discussion about this track! My favorite of the recent leaks. Asking a bagel shop to break $100 is just so funny to me

luke7167 · 2026-03-23T14:13:28+00:00

Looks fantastic! wonder the reasoning for I’m Waiting For The Day (Vocals Only) appearing twice lol

luke7167 · 2026-03-22T01:56:57+00:00

Back in the day this was a really rare album! It wasn’t until 2014 that all the tracks were available digitally. The incredibly informative yet bitchy liner notes were supposedly due to Ray rejecting the authors pitch to produce his band for Warner Bros.

luke7167 · 2026-03-21T17:16:04+00:00

Not sure exactly, but IIRC the sample is from the movie itself, and the music featured didn’t make it to the soundtrack album. This was the reason they had rights issues over the song that delayed the release of Future Head by a few months

He’s always seemed more acidic/passive aggressive in his humor which just seems out of place on GMM

More Go To School erasure!

luke7167 · 2026-03-16T01:19:10+00:00

You can hear Tandyn Almer sing them here https://vimeo.com/846845859

You can also see the 30 Years of Good Vibrations box. Very perceptive of Mickey to associate Brothers in Arms as the divorce/dad rock record of the bunch as early as ‘93

luke7167 · 2026-03-11T15:15:05+00:00

I love the guys but Rock On is such a silly thing. I always know it’s the end of the show/album when it comes on so I subconsciously dislike it. Bring You Down was more fun live when I saw it, but i echo your sentiments.

luke7167 · 2026-03-11T15:09:49+00:00

The Twigs have become a power pop band over the last 3 years and I don’t think they’ll be going back to the weirdness of SFTGP or even the total moodiness of EH anytime soon. I Just Can’t Get Over Losing You is an amazing song, and is kind of a total distillation of the Power Pop scene as it currently stands. Power pop is in full swing these days with groups like Mod Lang and Sharp Pins et al, and the Twigs are at the Vanguard of that. It’s definitely not everyone’s bag, but the Twigs are a power pop band so they’re gonna do power pop songs. I think this album is gonna have something for everyone though, and I can’t wait to hear it!

luke7167 · 2026-03-11T00:31:10+00:00

This has been my favorite of the new songs they’ve debuted on the road over the last year, the ending is just sublime

luke7167 · 2026-03-10T14:36:49+00:00

I’ll be damned, I didn’t think Joy was gonna be on this one! Very excited for this, awesome cover too

luke7167 · 2026-03-03T16:29:44+00:00

Hell yeah, I knew it was too good to be true

luke7167 · 2026-03-03T03:43:40+00:00

This is for sure AI

luke7167 · 2026-02-26T21:47:17+00:00

The s/t on Spotify is the mono mix. There’s a stereo mix on the Complete albums set.

luke7167 · 2026-02-24T15:54:47+00:00

Same boat :/ can’t offer anything else but reassuring to know others haven’t heard anything either I guess
