WHOOPS. We let a month go by silent - as if we aren't constantly inundated with Important Songs. Anyway, hello again. I made a draft of this a while back and forgot.
This song is so 1975 - I found it immediately catchy. But also precious that it's about getting older and changing and adulting being hard, but c'mon let's all keep on trying. It's only too cute when I put myself above Matty and his specific problems with too much money/fans/drugs. Honestly, I need to be reminded on the reg to give myself a try. And I agree about whiskey (3rd verse).
Wilderado - Sorrow
ACL 2018 lineup is out this morning! So many TMIS artists, the whole bill looks like fantastic fun. Wilderado will be there Weekend One only (a lot of the smaller bands are just one or the other weekend but most big names are both -- like Wombats this time 'round). Just some of the other mid-to-lower billed Most Important featured bands: Gang of Youths, Twin Shadow, Parquet Courts, ARIZONA, Alvvays, flor, Sir Sly, tired of linking... most of the headliners/second billing... And I'm going to say Paul McCartney counts, as well! Anyway, VIP & Platinum prices are INSANE so grab your GA badge while you can. Or wait for the summer single-day lineup/ticket release if you can somehow decide on just one day.
P.S. This song has been out for about a month and I love it and I'm excited to see Wilderado on the ACL list, but they are ALSO coming here to Stubb's in May with FOXTRAX so that sounds really fun too. Check out below if they're touring near you!
Upcoming Shows
Two Door Cinema Club - Standing on Ghosts
TDCC is 10 years old, well their first EP is, and they've just released it online for the first time. Consequently, I just heard "Standing On Ghosts" for the first time and, yep! It sounds like early TDCC ("Cigarettes in the Theatre" is also on this EP). What surprised me more than a little bit was learning the Irish boys were just 16 when this came out. So they were, like, 15 when they formed the band?? And were bang on this good??
