Forgetting you love bands and then binging on them
I always do this with The Rural Alberta Advantage. I fucking love that band.

Prince
Didn't listen to him for at least a couple of years, and then toward the end of last year, fell for him all over again. Very excited that it looks like we might be getting a new album this year...
The new song is so great.
I do this with Depeche Mode about every two years
Randomly realise they've got a lot of great material, binge on their music and ignore all other music for roughly a week, buy an album of theirs I haven't got yet, then promptly forget about them again after a bit until the next time.
RRA are really great
think departing is a bit underrated - prefer it to hometowns. Also their drummer is incredible
I'm not sure I prefer it to Hometowns but it's deffo underrated
He's a fucking unbelievable drummer, it's amazing how overzealous and frantic he manages to be without being distracting but at the same time I can listen to their whole albums and focus on nothing but the drums and enjoy them.
Great band. Hurry up and come back over here with a new album please.
Did this with Warpaint recently
Started thinking maybe I only liked them at the time, played the album, nope, still incredible.
Oh man, I did this with RAA last week.
Two really strong albums. Don't think I listened to anything other than Hometowns the months after I first heard it. I had a pint with them once after a gig too, they're all really cool, which makes me like them that bit more. Think I'm in love with the girl.
Coil
Switch between C93 and Coil a lot.
Done it with The Strokes tonight
About 2.5 albums worth, so good.
Every couple of months, I forget how much I love Spencer Krug
Which is great because usually by then he's released something else (bit slow right now, Spence).
both RAA albums are brilliant
Departing's such a beautiful, wintry slow-burner, it washed over me a bit at first but now I think it might even be better than Hometowns.
It seems inevitable these days
what with how much I listen to. Broken Social Scene seems to be the frequent recipient of this sort of attention, and Modest Mouse was recently (that was a gooooood binge).
*love beads
*love BEES!?
Gob's not on board.
Could you BE any more forgotten by me?
Frequently happens with:
Circa Survive
Mew
The National
Coldplay
The Knife/Fever Ray
Hope of the States
Broken Social Scene
Okkervil River
Later last year I went a bit Curve crazy - it was great revisiting a lot of their old stuff (and some of the stuff I missed out on after I gave up on them).
My current fave listen is Stevie Wonder. Innervisions is one hell of an album!
Curve are wonderful
But it's sad that most people focus only on their early stuff (EPs + Doppelganger, Cuckoo) and forget the brilliance of the latter albums (Come Clean, Gift, The New Adventures of Curve, Open Day at the Hate Fest)... Plus many B-sides and extra songs.
I recently decided to buy all the Will Oldham-related albums
I didn't already own. It turned out to be 8. I've been getting them in the post most days for the past fortnight.
I now own 22 Will Oldham albums. This may be slightly too many.
Squarepusher
especially with the most recent album, it's really really good. Been going through a massive Slowdive phase too.
Yup,
I'm currently remembering that Planes Mistaken For Stars are/were all kinds of awesome. Every album/EP. Mercy and the S/T are getting the most play.
Death Cab for Cutie
Modest Mouse
Menomena
Radiohead (I've been REALLY into In Rainbows lately)
LCD Soundsystem
The Unicorns
Death Cab for sure, about once a year for a few weeks...
after someone mentioned Harry Potter liked Hope of the States
i did their eps, lost riots and my favourites off left in one sitting
He loves Hold Steady too!
!!!
Their b-sides/EPs and the Dust Rackets were their best material.
This thread has introduced me to The Rural Alberta Advantage
and for that, I am thankful.
I get this with RAA too
and Mew.
Slightly obvious choice
is The National. Slightly less obvious choice is Cursive. Their catalogue is great and I quite often go 6 months without a track then listen to everything in a weekend.
Domestica, dude.
DOMESTICA.
I did this with Cocteau Twins a few months back
I think I did 125 tracks in a row. Head Over Heels came out of it very well, but of course it was all ace. White Denim get this treatment quite often, so many great tunes.
Been doing this with Frightened Rabbit recently
The Living End
Overplayed them to death in high school, took a break for a few years, 'rediscovered' all of their albums with a new-found appreciation now that I am a musician myself.
