paramore - after laughter - recording and anticipation

Best Chi-Peps record to be into.

"Chi-Peps" makes them sound like a delicious early '70s vocal group lol

Chi-Lites first top 10 hit was called "Give It Away."

Do any of you know what's behind long-ass album rollouts these days? There seem to be more of them lately, where the initial single will be released 5-6 months before the album comes out (see also Charli XCX's last album). I've seen people speculate that it is related to vinyl manufacturing delays. But if that's the case, why not just hold the single until it is closer to the time for the records to be ready?

i don't think majors would severely alter plans for any important album over vinyl manufacturing. this is just a personal theory but i think artists started to see fewer and fewer returns on the surprise or one week timeline style album drop. i think when that idea was fresh it was a way to cut thru the noise and get attention on the album, i think at a certain point it became so common place that it stopped having the intended effect of bringing the music world to a screeching halt. ari lennox just a really short announcement to release plan and her album underperformed pretty severely. my sense is that labels/artists are starting to swing back in the other direction and feel like a steady drip of "content" is what is going to keep a new album in people's minds for more than 48 hours

That sucks about the Lennox album.

More acts should do what Trent Reznor did and just leave new songs on thumb drives in public bathrooms.

If you use a streaming service that brings to your attention new releases by artists you've listened to before (as Spotify does), then a steady drip of content is also going to bring the artist to the top of your "feed" and more occasions, resulting in a greater likelihood of you remembering to listen.

longer rollouts make sense in a world where people are constantly moving onto the next thing. the longer the rollout, the longer the conversation lasts.

it reminds me of streaming television switching away from the binge model

it’s funny because in the cd era, album rollout would routinely take months, and now we’re back baby

Isn't that an attempt to stop people constantly switching between streaming platforms? If you release episodes over more than five weeks, users will have to keep their subscription for more than a month, rather than bingeing it all in a month then switching over to another platform.

beyonce's was pretty compact compared to all these other examples though - announced two months before release, lead single a month before release, that's it

yeah but still there seemed to be an expectation that it would just drop suddenly whenever but they clearly went a different route if not to the extent as some of these others

i think netflix et al saw the same thing about shows dropping all at once and then falling out of the cultural conversation a very short time later

Ugh! Imagine awakening to this news:

Hayley Williams and Taylor York are officially dating pic.twitter.com/OevKzJ23T1

This is too good

guessing the lack of Chicago means Lollapalooza... boo hiss

got a ticket for their show here in Toronto, nosebleeds for $60, which is just about how much i'm willing to pay to see them

Three times in the last week I thought "maybe I will try to get tickets to see such and such," and all three times I learned that the show already happened, including Paramore's.

I forgot that tickets went on sale today! The cheapest nosebleeds left in DC are $125 plus fees, and to be honest that's just not worth it to me. Oh well.

8 years ago - arguably at the height of their popularity, co-headlining with Fall Out Boy - the cost of my ticket, fees included, was half of that. Insane

And that was also in the DC area, just so we're comparing apples

Completely awesome performance of "This Is Why" on of all things The Tonight Show.

Huh. There's some pretty wild stuff going on in that song.

Albums covers Music Videos that depict the artists hanging out with their clones

Rockin tune

Love it. These songs compliment each other very well and I can't wait to hear them in the context of the full record.

Just noticed how much she looks like British actress Amelia Bullmore. Anyway, amazing song, never given Paramore a second thought before now but I love both of these new songs.

this album's gonna rule

I like it.

The subtle little Whammy-pedal bend by Taylor in the chorus rules.

Really like this one too. Feels like they're kind of stitching together all of the stuff they do well, the pop and the emo and the postpunk.

sounds like a great BNE evolution - really appreciate how they kept it at a tight 3 minutes.
