"friends we met online" is the new best joyce manor song

ok, listening now. wooooo still the best band though I will never not be mad when their albums end

so weird that Kurt Ballou ended up producing their gentlest, most colorful album

unexpectedly almost two minutes shorter than cody

christ the first side of this record is outstanding
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Wednesday, 5 September 2018 12:16 (five years ago) link
"Silly Games" is such a weird little song
I'm ready for the next album pls

"Friends We Met Online" is ILX's new official theme song

that song really reminds me of early goo goo dolls (in a way that, say, beach slang approached but never got to)

"big lie" song of the year

dude brad i am not trusting you when you say a band is the best ever. pshaw.

more joyce manor for me then

If the second half were as good as the first I would agree, but I do think it falls off a teensy bit. Still great but I think Cody and Hungover are still tops for me
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Friday, 21 September 2018 13:50 (five years ago) link
ok but: the second half is better than the first

i interviewed barry yesterday and we spent a lot of time talking about "wildflowers" it was great
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Friday, 21 September 2018 13:58 (five years ago) link
pls link that when it goes up!
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Friday, 21 September 2018 14:01 (five years ago) link
this band rules so much. i love how even within the niche they're carving for themselves, they're still making interesting songwriting decisions/calculated risks

BIG LIE
― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Monday, 8 October 2018 21:00 (five years ago) link
a perfect (vocal) hookless song.
I never noticed the way she had it out for meI should suppose it's like that for everyone?So understated, we're never friendly anyhowJust tell me what you want me to do

ahhhh you did a great job! Barry seems like such a sweet, smart fellow.
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Tuesday, 23 October 2018 20:30 (five years ago) link
god I would love to hear the Joyce Manor discards/alternates vault (all like 30 minutes of it or whatever). iirc they recorded a long Smiths medley for Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired but I can't back that up at the moment
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Tuesday, 23 October 2018 20:44 (five years ago) link
i saw these dudes the other night ... hard to imagine a tighter rock band/show.
also, barry has to be the smile-iest frontman going, right?
― alpine static, Wednesday, 24 October 2018 15:15 (five years ago) link
Was anyone else there tonight in Islington? A real shame to see they have done 20+ songs and 2 encores everywhere else and tonight they complained Barry has had voice issues and it was just about an hour long. (Were dope for the hour tho)
― plums (a hoy hoy), Friday, 19 April 2019 21:23 (five years ago) link
it's wild that these guys have written like 30+ perfect songs

First half of this comp, the early lofi stuff, is kinda revelatory (think a peppier Freed Weed-era Sebadoh):

haha, finally felt compelled to check this band out, ^that was not at all what I expected to hear first. a nice shock though, and if you're gonna cover a perfect song might as well put it up front.

i did a discog run this week and i definitely overrated million dollars to kill me when it came out but it's a way better record than their fans think and "big lie" is still the best song ever
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 23 June 2022 16:37 (one year ago) link
cody is totally their best though. perfect, cohesive, breaks my heart
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 23 June 2022 16:39 (one year ago) link
codytie between never hungover again and the s/ttie between million dollars to kill me and 40 oz to fresnoof all things i will soon grow tired (hate to be someone who thinks of this particularly weird charming little record (in a catalog of weird charming little records) as their worst but something has to be)
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 23 June 2022 16:42 (one year ago) link
Cody is my favorite too.
