Wow - their first new song in literally decades and they tour every year for a long time now (and are pretty great live if you get a chance to see them) - this sounds pretty good too ....their fans will eat this up.......

Didn't care much for the earlier track but this is almost classic Strokes and evokes I'll Melt With You and Dancing With Myself, love this one:

Crazy good.

5 best tracks from The Slow Rush, which is an early contender for AOTY. These 5 tracks and the two Strokes singles are the best of 2020 so far.

And with this, The Weeknd is 3/3 for me so far with his singles.

We already had The Psych Furs first new song in nearly 30 years and now Archers of Loaf with their first in 20.......sort of sounding like Thin Lizzy at first doing pop ...........and with the compelling abrasive noise ...........just like themselves.

Haven't heard that much new stuff from this year, but one album I've liked from this year is Swimmer by Tennis. Hadn't really heard of them before, but I really like that album (and their most recent album before that as well).

Heard it on the radio, heard it in a Target, might hear at the Grammy's one day - Norah Jones and her band cover living legend Paul Westerberg's absolute best song from his absolute worst album and makes it a country song. Not too shabby actually.
Hope it makes everybody a ton of $$$:

Pete Buck or as I like to call him - the cool one from REM - and Scott McCaughey of the Young Fresh Fellows, who recently survived a stroke and still has his spirit, mind, balls and humor team up again (they were both in Filthy Friends too).
McCoughey sounds like he's referencing his stroke - in the lyrics - "Thought I was a goner......" and the band's full length album drops later this month on Yep Roc.

Started his career (sort of) with what appeared to be a non sequitur but was not - "Ice baby, I saw your girlfriend and she's eating her fingers like they're just another meal".
The fact that you could play with the way he wrote lyrics is what's enabled him to be much more normal and still be good - and he is. The fact that he sets this video in an Art gallery with pictures of himself makes you want to smack him in the head because he's a pretentious dick - he's that too.

Late to the party on the new Strokes stuff but that second single was great. Has that "warm punk" feel to it that their first album had (and nothing they've done since has). Loved the video too "Get your Clone of The Strokes Today!" sums up a lot of the rock music that has come out since their debut. Faceless clones of them playing at the end was pretty scathing. The first single was a bit too synth heavy for me as a personal preference thing. Still based on these two songs it sounds like they're trying again and the musical quality is higher than what it's been since the first album. I've gotten pretty jaded with them since I've tried to give them another chance with every album and it always ends up being mediocre but hopefully this one is good.

A new album this week (not great!) by Morrissey.....a new album of classic and recycled Cure/Radiohead mope sounding stuff by a US band who really really wishes they were British, Sub-Pop's (awfully named) Moaning ....... and the best new song in weeks is by a woman approaching 70 and her band whose expiration date was decades ago and that sounds like she never heard of Morrissey, The Cure, Radiohead or any new band since '78.
"Money in the bank and coke in his pocket" ....you should have her way with lyrics and nostalgia......and you should have her guitarist too.

Bob Dylan - 78 years old - unleashes a 17 minute (!) masterpiece just by the mere fact that it exists - his first new song in ~8 years. If anybody didn't need yet another song called a masterpiece it's this Joker(man) but what can you do except bow down to the King because there ain't another.
It doesn't have a chorus and you can't dance to it - and he couldn't care less and btw when was the last time a song - ANY song - made you pour over it, assess it, contemplate it......

Literally just came on here to post this, lol. Strange, thought-provoking song. His writing as usual is fantastic.

Never really been a fan before, but The Weeknd's new album is really, really good. Favorite songs right now are In You Eyes and Blinding Lights.

Um...........look.........not gonna lie ......I completely hatttttttttttttte this.
The 3rd dud song - 2nd in 2020 - from his forthcoming (9 years in the making, gulp) solo record makes me wonder where his pop sense went, makes me wonder why he was ever even introduced to fellow somber mope Aaron Dessner of legendary somber mopes the fncking National to begin with.
Some might find this gorgeous! and beautiful! (um) and if so enjoy it - but come on Michael there was a time you would have mocked this too. The best music from the REM guys is coming from Pete Buck for me ......right now at least.....(posted earlier in this thread)

I've called RBCF the "best" band in the world before on here (check the new music 2019 thread for me praising them to death) - though I maybe meant "the most promising band" - with a couple EPs a full length and great singles they have literally no "bad" releases at all.
To some people this band merely works a niche so well - sounding scarily like early-REM mixed with edgier The Go-Betweens - but don't do anything new.......... but to some of us the Rock landscape looked a lot better in 1980-whatever than it does now so get off their backs about it.

SharbsThis song is fantastic -- and not just because of goddess Phoebe Bridgers, but she's certainly a big part of it. Lovely acoustic ballad revealing yet another facet to this band ... they don't always "work" for me and I don't listen to them obsessively or anything, but you can't deny their range and that's beautifully shown with a song like this.
