I've been on this site a long time, so by now I think I know pretty well what's going to be a hit here. When I heard this album, which just came out last night, I knew I had to make a thread for it. The Weather Station is a project fronted by Tamara Lindeman that has been around since the...

DI XI was conceived a distraction, a shelter from the world outside. An opportunity for old friends to reconnect and rekindle some of the old spark from better days. The response was positive and consistent throughout, bringing some much-needed traffic to a dying corner of the internet. 5...

We made it, gang. The final group. The first two threads brought us triple digit replies and some very detailed commentary, so let's give our last group the same level of attention. Typically interest drops off by this point, but I think the momentum has been there from start to finish this time...

Group 1 was a big success, averaging about 20 posts a day, thorough commentaries and plenty of new discoveries for listeners. Let's keep that momentum going into group 2. For the time being, I intend to start group 3 on Monday, May 11. That 10-day timetable worked well for group 1. Group 2...

Please post any commentaries or running diaries in this thread. If you have any general questions or comments about this installment of Desert Island, please refer them to the master list thread. We can run this thread as long as necessary before starting the next one. The majority seemed to...

After 18 productive days of quarantine, it's finally here! I want to thank you guys for being so communicative and proactive during this time, even as I know many of you are still working full-time and can only pop in once in a while. This has been an incredibly simple and efficient process. On...

First album in almost 8 years. It's streaming now. Go listen and come back. We have to talk about it. It's so good.

Many of us have looked forward to the inevitable comeback of Desert Island and rumblings of a return have shook up at least one of the three or four RMT threads we've made in the five years since our tenth installment. It's unfortunate that our eleventh full competition comes under such trying...

New album SONGS OF EXPERIENCE confirmed for December 1. That is in fact a Friday, so there's a small chance Bono isn't fucking with us. Consider it an early Christmas gift or a slightly less early Hanukkah gift. Featuring the unstoppable hit singles: The Black Out The Best Thing TLTTGYA And...

Mount Eerie is the singer/songwriter project of Phil Elverum that succeeded The Microphones. Last summer, his wife Geneviève died of pancreatic cancer following an outpouring of financial support from his fans. What followed was the painful recording process of A Crow Looked at Me. It's out on...

There's not a lot of news on this yet, and I'm getting a fake news vibe from it at the moment, but it could be interesting to follow. On one hand, this could be discussed solely in terms of highway protests in isolation. On the other, the concept of this is so unapologetically un-American that I...

Clearly fucked. Truly fucked. Destination: somewhere fucked. F.U.C.K.E.D. fucked. Without question: super fucked.

If anyone missed the premiere party and absolutely cannot wait, Tidal is replaying it right now: http://tidal.com/us Kanye's shop lists the album as dropping 2/12:

This isn't even fair. Who decided it was alright to synthesize the perfect blend of influences to win me over?! Listened to this shit this morning with the sun rising and it was too nice. Perfect SoCal record. His rapping/singing voice features a rasp very much like Kendrick's (they...

I've been looking for a great new Aussie rock band and these guys definitely fit the bill. They have an acclaimed debut I need to check out, but their new album High came out last month and it's fantastic. I would describe their sound as very much like The Jam, but produced by Ty Segall. They...

I wasn't expecting to say this, but Carly Rae Jepsen's new album is one of the best pure pop albums of the decade. No, really, the whole thing is fucking great. No filler. There isn't a song that isn't perfectly executed and imbued with great vocals and personality. On top of that, it branches...
