I got around to listening Yelawolf's new album and despite mediocre reviews, I still liked more than half a dozen songs from it. For a rapper there wasn't a lot of rapping on it, but it still worked.

Hell yeah, the new Foals tune is a JAM! Album is out the end of August.
So excited for this. Probably my favourite rock band right now. All three of their albums have been amazing, I'm thinking this one will be too. And they're pretty amazing live
The new Low album is out September 11 and the first single is excellent. Love this band.

Looking forward to the new Foals album on August 28th and also the new Beach House release on the same date. Heard one of the new songs when the played the Republik last year. Don't think they make any bad music.
Wilco - Star Wars
Tame Impala - Currents
Hot Chip - Why Make Sense?
Paul Weller - Saturns Pattern
Bully - Feels Like
Also looking forward to new Beach House and Destroyer.
Sell Foals to me - they sound like CJ92/Kings of Leon music?
Foals got big by making music that wouldn't fit on CJ92 like this 7 minute epic : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYoINidnLRQ
Almost the anti-CJ92/KOL in this sense with the long slow build vs the quick hit instant gratification. You will want to read and understand Foals music in the way that you will chew and spit out the KOL/92. Slow build and long burn vs quick hit and next. I also like KOL though
Also really liking that Wilco album!! There is 3-4 songs I can't stop listening to on that one.
"Who says that? Her parents," he asked when Rolling Stone noted that Swift is a pop star that many people praise as a talented songwriter.
[Noel]Gallagher didn't buy it when the magazine responded, "Lots of people."
"Who's 'people'? Name these people. You're ####ing lying," he said. "She seems like a nice girl, but no one has ever said those words, and you ####ing know it."
Pitchfork: So you’re not listening to Taylor Swift in your downtime.
Dan Bejar: Not too much. But, because I have a young daughter who's in school now, I had this sneaking suspicion that Taylor Swift might be the dominant cultural theme of her generation and that I should listen to a song by her because I had never heard one. This was a couple of months ago. So I checked it out, and it gave me the willies. It wasn’t a reactionary thing. It was more from just hearing these hack nu-country melodies with dumb lyrics and some very advanced Pro-Tools production techniques that could dazzle certain music critics. I’m familiar with the fact that people who I count as intelligent are really into this woman's records, and I don't want to make this about Taylor Swift. I just generally have a more elemental take on things and I can't hold up Taylor Swift as being either a figure of light or a figure of darkness because I feel like it brings down my poem to a level that’s too mundane. [laughs] So instead of being flabbergasted or outraged or dismissive, I really just want to pretend that those things don’t exist. Maybe I've always done a little bit of that, but I'm really steering into it now.
