"There’s people we’re writing with as we speak, one person mainly. Songs are being developed with the artists attached as we go from the ground up, which is really cool—I can’t talk too much about that though. I’m excited and I’m pretty sure a record will come pretty quickly, but I’ve been wrong about that before."

Kind of interesting how different "Wild Flower" looked (and judging from the tracklisting, sounded) 18 months or so before it finally got released:

Ugh Frankie Sinatra was such a terrible lead single.

honestly i don't get why frankie sinatra is so... polarizing
i mean i can get it's got elements in it that might be on the grating side for some people and i can see how it'd leave some undersatisfied impressions in the "this is meant to be the flag-bearer for the follow-up to SILY?"
but it grew on me, especially the whole " 1 bar pause - couple bars from DOOM - another one bar pause - rest of his verse", which imo is the kinda thing that would've fit snugly into SILY II (which let's be real, we shouldn't have expected from a shrunken lineup 16 years later that might not be able to get away with that degree of sampling this time round
on that kind of note, any thoughts on the deluxe reissue they've been talking about since 2011?

agree w/ Simon. something's missing?
― calstars, Wednesday, 22 July 2020 15:32 (three years ago) link
also 'running red lights' was fine the first time but I have no need to ever hear it again.
― calstars, Wednesday, 22 July 2020 15:33 (three years ago) link
yep
the whole vibe of the current incarnation just sounds crowded-but-empty to me

when your medium is "sample collage", diminishing returns are almost inevitable.

the gee-whiz vibe is more of a dealbreaker for me than the reliance on samples tbh
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Wednesday, 22 July 2020 16:07 (three years ago) link
ymmv obviously but I think we could use some gee-whiz right now

these two new songs are pretty boring but not actively dreadful like "running red lights"

Will this album have another “Saturday night inside out?” Is my only question cause that song is GREAT

I remember them playing in New York at SOBs in 2001 or 2002 with six turntables – I think I had a poster for the show, though who knows what happened to it!
