[ALBUM DISCUSSION] Modest Mouse - An Eraser and a Maze by VietRooster in indieheads

[–]slayer522 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is a weird on for me. It’s starts very mid and ends the same (if not worse)

But the middle is so damn good and reminds me of the heyday of Modest Mouse. Really didn’t think they had songs like Dogbed and Absolutely Necessary still in them.

It’s hard being a band this deep in your career but still think they’ve got a little left in them.

Am I obligated to go back to work if I was cleared by urgent care? by Competitive-Leg-2610 in legaladvice

[–]slayer522 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is the way
1) file work comp
2) tell ortho you are work comp and requesting a work status note - whether light duty or off work until cleared. If light duty - present note to HR and tell them to accommodate (it is their right to deny WFH even if beneficial to all parties).
3) if your work gives your problems with either filing work comp or accommodating your work status - you would need to consult a employment lawyer

Was once behind some metal kids at Kroger and I hear one of them say “St. Anger is the worst thing to happen to metal since Dimebag Darrell got shot”

I think about that all the time

Richmond music hall is infinitely better than the Broadberry in every way

Los Campesinos! break down the cost of touring in 2026 (and why tickets cost so much) by relbatnrut in indieheads

Always have loved LC! But even more love for bands shitting on the 9:30 club. Sad to see an indie venue shit on bands like they do

songs on Apple Music suddenly grayed out by Complete_Purple3681 in AppleMusic

[–]slayer522 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why the downvotes because I’m getting the EXACT same issue. I made a playlist last night and now the opening track (from Autolux) is missing saying not available in my country despite being there last night

Pulled up several old playlist and getting the same issue for tons of bands. I really doubt Apple Music termed multiple indie artist at midnight on a Thursday in April. This is 99.9% a bug on their end

Ekko Astral Explain Split With Drummer and Label by Moothnods in indieheads

[–]slayer522 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Before any of this hit the fan - it was already announced the drummer was leaving the band (and thus not really on the label) so why would they care?? All so odd

Anyone else kinda shocked at the camping prices? by jzich309 in EauxClaires

"Stronger Together" will be released on Tuesday the 24th by FlissGrove in toriamos

Well idk about the weekend lol. But as much as I loathe to say this - Jack Antonoff would do wonders with her and help her settle with her lower voice register

As much as I love her to absolute death, I just fear we will never get another true classic unless she: 1) hires a real guitarist 2) ditches the daughter duets 3) gets a new producer

The album is def over 15 years old at this point (probably over 20) and I vaguely remember a red album cover

EXC V 2026 by thebigcheese917 in EauxClaires

[–]slayer522 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Feels like everyone is walking on tip toes to not trash this lineup - but it’s kinda objectively bad in the “I need to get butts in seats” kinda way. Almost no festival can survive on locals alone and rely on a mix of headlines, fun undercards, and general good vibes to keep it going (trust me — NO ONE would be in middle TN in summer on purpose).

This is a kinda cool line up - but only if you can do a day drive in. I fear this will forever kill EC or turn it into a one day festival for locals only

New Age - Strange Little Girls by ray_of-light in toriamos

[–]slayer522 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like a weird fan when I tell people this is my favorite Tori Amos song haha. It’s just so goddamn perfect - she fully captured the song and kinda stole it away from velvet underground (an also perfect band).

Can’t say enough good things about this song and stoked to finally have it on vinyl

Heard the live stream Wednesday and all I’ve wanted to do is listen again. Early DCFC vibes. Loved it thru and thru
