Great stuff
No idea she was only 27, looked it up, same age as Prince, definitely didn't perceive them as being the same age as the time

It’s great to see These Are Not Fall Colors get the retrospective treatment—though not sure why Sherburne avoids mentioning the name of Jayne’s later/long-running project (Love As Laughter), even though it’s discussed. I also would have maybe lost the six paragraphs about Olympia / K... this is one of my favorite albums, and even I found the piece hard to get through. The exhaustive Sunday review treatment—dutifully cataloging every tiny detail surrounding an album—can be exhausting. Some great writing when he’s actually talking about the music, though!

wow this is a bad review
On “Two Feet in Front,” a 1994 single for K’s International Pop Underground series, they approached their arrangements first like glassblowers, drawing out elegantly elongated tones, then blacksmiths, hammering bent chords till sparks flew.
These Are Not Fall Colors is not a manifesto but a personal statement, the sound of a fistful of wrinkled notebook pages covered in blurry blue ballpoint.
There’s no actual melody to speak of; bass, guitar, and drums merely tumble in rough concord, like a rockslide moving grudgingly uphill. Jayne is sing-shouting front and center, something about seriousness and serial killers, while in the background, another voice screams bloody murder.
Also he mentions LAL!
With his Love as Laughter project, Jayne’s tapes would occupy him, miraculously, for the next 26 years of his life.

On its 10th anniversary, Van Etten revisits the landmark that marked her arrival to the forefront of indie rock with a collection of covers, from Lucinda Williams to Fiona Apple, that offer proof of her music’s deep healing and complexity.

If you were 18 when all those albums came out they do probably feel like milestones. Plus you're all, can you believe we're 28 now, when did we get so old??! and you want to canonize the stuff from high school.
We all did it, what's wrong with letting the kids do it too?
(granted, I think we waited until the 20 year anniversary)

yeah they made a fake tweet screenshot of him supposedly crowing about her heroin overdose (that, even in the fake, didn't refer to her) and paired it with other damning evidence like how he once saw Pussy Riot play at a festival instead of Lovato
screaming that they were going to "get him fired" from Rolling Stone for having written one 7/10 positive freelance review

I've been seeing more and more buzz for Ethel Cain lately, so I was reading that profile. Not sure I'm sold on her music yet, but I'm intrigued by the general vibe and aesthetic, though I kept finding myself doubting that "Anhedonia" is her real last name and isn't just another layer to the character she's creating.

she's trans & has had a rocky relationship with her parents so i figured she probably just changed it for real
also, she's depressingly on dr. luke's actual label which feels like more of him trying to launder his reputation "look he's signing trans artists how progressive"

Of the acts on the bill I've actually seen, the best was Hop Along, just because they had a bit of energy and their songs are very singalongable, but I wouldn't describe that show as particularly memorable.
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Monday, 17 May 2021 16:28 (three years ago) link
tbh barely any artists are that good at playing to festival sized crowds, it's pretty much the worst way to see music
unless they are like U2 or beyonce or someone who knows how to handle it
