I'm going to ruin this already and say I have listened to it

BUT I was going to say TO YOU sort of specifically Severed799, I got this Young Widows album yesterday and it is fantastic. It is moody post hardcore with a bit o Nick Cave and a bit of the new style Swans mixed in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_and_Out_of_Youth_and_Lightness
before they were more sort of aggressively Shellacjesuslizardy but I think they sound better like this

just a wee post hardcore update for you

and yeah i'm doing alright, making soup wbu

Hi

I'm alright, ta. Looking forward to the France-Italy game in a bit, might squeeze in an episode of Phoenix Nights before that. Listening to Loveless atm, all this MBV chat must be getting to me. Will probably check out the new album at some point in the future, but I'd be surprised if it was this year. Slept in and had cold pizza for breakfast/lunch. You?

MBV are fucking amazing and I have listened to the new record 3 times now, and that was in 3 hours

That said, I just woke up for today, and I very much need to shower, because I need to go into town to watch the Superbowl, and then record a podcast.

I don't actually care about football (i.e. I have NO idea who the Ravens are [Baltimore apparently? all I know about Baltimore is from The Wire]), but my cohosts care, so why not go drink with them?

I would also like to listen to this a lot more than the new MBV. Weird.

- Not weird at all. Betty is far better than Loveless.
  
  But Strap it on by Helmet is better than both.

So was listening to Gimme Fiction by Spoon

on the way to work this morning. Great album, never seems to be much love for Spoon on DIS.

Still don't understand the MBV euphoria. All round great band and everything. But after waiting 22 years for them to bother to do a 3rd album, I figure waiting a few more weeks won't make much of a difference to me.

Just turned on the kettle with the new mbv album playing in the background

It started boiling loudly, and to be honest, I couldn't tell the difference.

Antelope | 4 Feb '13, 23:26 | X | ^ This | Reply
- I've had two "quiet" kettles
  
  And they've both got louder over time. Although the current one is better than the first, which also had the annoying habit of tripping the safety switch if you used it at the same time as the dishwasher.
  
  I think I might have to use some descaler to make the kettle "quiet" again.

Not sure if I'll ever listen to this tbf.

Part of me feels like I should? idk it's fun to be part of the experience with everyone but this band doesn't do much for me. Ive listened to Loveless plenty of times but it just kinda washes by me. I like it ok but cant see why people revere it so much.

theShipment | 5 Feb '13, 03:33 | X | ^ This | Reply

Comaboy, GoatmeatMF, andyvine, and coolerthantv this'd this
- You really shouldn't feel like you have to
  
  The mentality that there are certain things you HAVE to like, or at least create the illusion to others that you do, should've died out by now. I bet a sizeable percentage of those who've listened to it have done so because they think it's their duty to, and that many wouldn't give it the time of day at all had any other artist created it.
  
  That said, I won't deny MBV's legacy (the band, not the album) and Loveless is very good to my ears. And yes, I suppose there's something nice in a communal dialogue about a common interest like this.
  
  I just think we should all enjoy music for ourselves, and not get bogged down with PC indie etiquette.

  - I have no desire to LIKE an album everyone is liking.
    
    Just to be able to have some opinion on it is all I meant. Landmark albums that so many people buzz over dont happen too often but this one just doesn't matter to me.
    
    PC indie etiquette? Idk it's like the movie that everyone is on about and you want to be able to talk about it too. Sometimes music enjoyment is personal and sometimes it's social, don't think either is particularly wrong or right.

    - Most of that wasn't really directed at you
      
      Post header was, rest of it was more of a general, cynical rambling. I completely agree with giving something a go to see what the fuss is about, it's just when people feel like it's their obligation to do so that it bothers me.
      
      I've always seen music as personal, and not particularly social, but that's just me. I do think PC indie etiquette exists, but to what extent it's applied to this album remains to be seen.
      
      I am very cynical about things like this, so pay not attention if any of this doesn't apply, or annoys/offends! Apologies if it does.
