Don't really like that new MGMT song. I loved their first two albums, think I listened to their 3rd album maybe once.

I watched a performance of theirs and noticed Janet Weiss of Sleater-Kinney playing with them, but didn't notice anyone else.

Interesting analysis of the songs on the Barnett/Vile split.

I originally thought Courtney wrote the first song and Kurt the second song on the record but it's the opposite!

I'd listen to a full cover album by those two.
The Barnett/Vile album has proven to be ideal for about exactly what they intended it for: doing nothing and walking around. Blue Cheese is so goofy and nice, Courtney's Peepin' Tom and Kurt's Out of the Woodwork are both worthwhile covers, Let it Go has a great beat.

This is so good and much needed. Swoon is the only way to put it

Yeah, that Barnett & Vile album is legit. It definitely scratches a 90s indie rock itch that never gets scratched anymore. That probably raises it up higher than it would otherwise be. I mean the songs are kinda there whether you want to listen or not; they don't really ask much of the audience, it's just driving around spacing out kind of music, or the thing you could have on repeat all day at home and not even notice. The melodic guitar lines are great and everything forms around that. The harmonies work in places and others not so much, I think I like it most when they just trade lines back and forth.
It's a welcome album in these times, really. Sometimes you need to just pull the musical covers over your head for a bit.

Oh I forgot the new Radiator Hospital's out today too. it's good, love their cover of "Sycamore" by Martha: https://radiatorhospital.bandcamp.com/track/sycamore-by-martha
This thread is for everything with guitars basically. So I'd say you're in the right place already.

The new Fever Ray is nice. It has that odd cheerful, electronic sound like Gloss Drop.
And in light of news, would anyone be interested in a Rock/Indie/Alt Music discord?

For sure, I come here for a lot of recommendations and would hate to lose that if this place were to implode.

Quote to see the discord link .
Correction, I've tried to send PMs to all the people who asked for it in this thread but because there's a new limit on how many PMs you can send (wonder why that is), it'd be best to just quote this post.

This was one of my fav threads and I'm reviving it in case anyone wants to talk some good rock/indie/alt music.
I'm really enjoying both The Black Keys new album and The Raconteurs

Lyrical meaning:
"This was another song I revamped from my lo-fi tape American Sound. I wrote it about someone I dated who made me feel like I wasn’t cut out for my own music career. It’s sort of about that really ugly moment when you try to do something sexually wild to save a relationship, only to make it more painfully apparent that it’s not going to work.
The second verse has a quote from something I read about Tammy Wynette. I really fell for Tammy about a year ago. I love the sort of tongue-and-cheek melodrama of her songs. I read that when she left her first husband to pursue a career in music, he told her ‘dream on, baby.’ Years later, after she was famous, he attended one of her shows and asked for her autograph. She signed it ‘dream on, baby.’"
