the 1975

well that video taught me it's "you look so cool" not "you look so cold"

(greatest song of all time obviously)

can anyone successfully parse "you created a television out of your mouth" or should i just flow with the vibe of it

it sticks in my head, i like the way it sounds but idgi

maybe they're going all jeff tweedy a la "crawling is screw faster lash and i blow it with kisses"

I think he just means he spent the whole time watching it.

Which just fits his general obsession with mouths.

ooh i like that

ATTN Tim F: The 1975 playing at the Hi-Fi on Monday July 28.

Also an all ages show at the Hi-Fi on the Sunday beforehand at 1pm, which I think I'll avoid.

I BEEN ON

Sky Ferreira will be out in the same week! All of my adolescence-recapturing stars are coming into alignment.

Haha yes. I plan to see both and perhaps also First Aid Kit and / or Future Islands.

KROQ is starting to play "Chocolate," wonder if it will stick?

lol I read that as "wonder if it will shtick" and it still made perfect sense.

i've only heard "chocolate" on hot ac stations so far and it didn't seem like it stuck around on playlists for too long, was nice while it lasted tho

nooooooooooooooooooo i think their show is sold out :(

This album keeps invading my brain more and more over time. One of the best albums I've heard in the past couple years

Yeah I also won't get to see them in DC or Baltimore because the shows sold out by the time I got into the album. :( I blame their name - I saw this thread title last year but figured they were like Wolfmother or something. Also a fan of the Bad Suns who they're touring with, so I'm doubly bummed.

LIVE. SO GOOD.

Especially "Fallingforyou" and "Me" and "You" and "Menswear" and "Sex".

So I guess I should see them when they come here in December then.

I saw them a month ago and it was the best show ever. I have so many feels.

Fiiiiiiine I'll go. Surprised they are coming here to az!

i'm so mad i missed them AGAIN because it sold out, this is like the third time this has happened >:(

They said they're coming back (again!) in January. Be ready this time!

Jan 15 at festival hall (ugh!) - I'm ready this time though! Presale starts on Monday.

spent my free time today trying to make a coherent playlist out of the eps http://open.spotify.com/user/unbornwhiskey/playlist/43L5u0OojGMPdYjFCelofh

i also saw them at boston calling and they were really great idk

i remember when the sex ep came out and i kinda discounted the non-"sex" tracks as mostly strange, subdued, ambient things and now they're some of my favorite music of the past few years

Agreed. Still think the album would be improved by having more of that vibe (they could probably afford to lose, IDK, "She Way Out" to make space for it).

I was pleased when Matt said that "fallingforyou" was his favourite of their songs.

thx for the link

hearing "she way out" live totally turned my feelings around about it

two phone everything

Oh yeah I really like the song (esp. "I've got a feeling that marijuana's rotting your brain" becoming "I've got a feeling that my friends are gonna kick in your brain") but coming after "Talk", "Heart Out", "Settle Down" and "Girls" it feels a bit like a superfluous and less distinct amalgam of all four.

Agreed that it worked very well live. When I saw the them the weakest song was "Settle Down", surprisingly.

fallingdownthisrabbitholeagain i discovered i somehow missed the totally credible disclosurey remix by the drummer on the 2nd sex ep! awesome

for real waiting with bated breath for what these guys do next (and i don't often feel that way even for fave artists)

lil silva should produce the next album fyi

but coming after "Talk", "Heart Out", "Settle Down" and "Girls" it feels a bit like a superfluous and less distinct amalgam of all four.

haha yeah true, and i do still kinda feel this way. "m.o.n.e.y." is also a real monster live

lil silva should produce the next album fyi

Lol / True

I'm hopeful they don't just continue to refine the whole eighties soundtrack pop thing, it's been a good look but it's such a small fraction of what they can do.

Unless they transmute it into something like their cover of "So Good To Me".

omg I cued up 'Chocolate' this afternoon and oh hi obsession all over again.
I'm sad that I went for a few months without listening to them every single day

WE GET BACK TO MY HOUSE
YOUR HANDS
MY MOUTH

I like that Maura and brad Nelson are into this band

after all this time, "Girls" is starting to get played on US pop radio

yeah i'm surprised it ended being this instead of "chocolate" that managed to get some decent pop radio play but i ain't complaining, it's a nice enough tune

well, "Chocolate" got to #25 on the Pop Songs chart, "Girls" is only at #32 right now but it's still rising. i kinda wonder if the success of 5 Seconds Of Summer in America is leading the industry to give The 1975 another push.

1 of those nights where a 1975 song comes on shuffle and i then listen to everything they've ever released for hours on end when i should be going to bed. i swear none of these songs on any of the eps or the lp are anything less than flawless and crucial to my life

we take your mum's car to the edge of the town
and we drive
yeah we go round & round

it's a legit thing! this happens to me all the time!

when "you" seems to be winding down for the night and then

AND I SAY DO YOU WANNA DANCE DO YOU WANNA DANCE DO YOU WANNA DANCE

and then the last minute omfg like jesus

<3

we take your mum's car to the edge of the town
and we drive
yeah we go round & round

probably the most important lyric of the last twenty years

i'm not even fucking kidding

my life can be divided into the time before i heard the instrumental sections in "settle down" and the time after

"You" is so bitchy.

"And it's not my fault that I've f***ed everybody here </humblebrag>"

AND I SAY DO YOU WANNA DANCE DO YOU WANNA DANCE DO YOU WANNA DANCE
