End of the Month Music Bitchfest - April 2017

Nine Inch Nails
The wait is becoming a palpable thing...

Beck
The wait is becoming an even fatter man, sitting on my chest and eating a paste made of Velveeta cheese powder, mayonnaise, and olive oil. His name for it is Yummy Glue, and sometimes, Tasti-Paste.

They Might Be Giants
In the midst of recording their latest, can't say much except there seems to be some funky Linnell shit in the mix.

Guess who's disappointed by the new Gorillaz? Yeah, while I reviewed it for Soundblab and gave it a 9 out of 10, that's because, while I don't like it all that much, I do recognize it is a good album...one that does not really appeal to me.
what wrong me.
Review here.

I also reviewed the new (and pretty awesome, Dan Bejar-less) album from the New Pornographers, Whiteout Conditions. HERE! THE REVIEW IS HERE!

Mother Feather are in the studio* recording the follow up to their 2015 self-titled debut. Spoilers: it might be my favorite album of 2017.

I'll be reviewing the new Drew McDowall album, Unnatural Channel, due out 5/27.

Finally, exactly eleven years ago today, the music video Ray Zablocki and I did for Nine Inch Nails' "Every Day Is Exactly The Same" went up on YouTube. Since then, it's garnered over 2.6 million views and thousands of comments referring to either porpoises**, faggots***, and the fact that the audio and video quality is that of a mud-smeared ass.
Well.
Ray went back and gave the whole thing a slap**** and now it looks fantastic. You can watch it here. If we get 2.6 million views by 2029, you'll get the original Nine Inch Nails version which we were sent as an example of what not to do.

* THE SAME STUDIO IN WHICH GORILLAZ RECORDED THEIR GREAT NEW ALBUM WHICH I DON'T REALLY LIKE!!!
