@GraemeE same, same. Still need to see Asteroid City!

Edit: I’ve made my kids watch the Fantastic Mr. Fox just to imprint it on their creative dna

I watched this with the girls when they were little. I still haven’t watched all the Roald Dahl shorts on Netflix yet. Just the first one.

[Matt]

If the kids haven’t watched it yet may I very enthusiastically recommend watching John Mullaney and The Sack Lunch Bunch on Netflix. My kids fucking love it.

[SKT]

@Matt I’ll check both out my kids have loved Matilda the new one and old one

[Jett129]

@Matt I know you hated The Bear,and I’m not even remotely suggesting that you watch it,but(There’s always a but)if you’re a John Mullaney fan,I think you’ll enjoy this scene. Thread drift alert!

Sometimes you just have to go to the classics…

@GraemeE @SourPower told me he died Tuesday. I had no idea. RIP

@mclaincausey

@Inorganic can likely attest to the fact that our local jazz radio station in Portland has played Mr Ayers HEAVILY for years

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE Yes yes..KMHD is a real gem. 2 of their djs live here in N PDX (Farnell Newton & Derek Smith). Its one of my favorite local radio stations from places I've lived (KCRW in LA being another gem)

Vulfpeck dropped a new album yesterday. Stop what you're doing and listen.

[SKT]

@EdH love Vulfpeck looking forward to this

[SKT]

The mighty algorithm put this in my path…any Morphine fans around here? Bueno!

Serious question.

Coldplay come in for a lot of shit. Why?

Why the question Giles? What is your view of Coldplay?

[Giles]

I don't have a major issue with them, quite happy to listen to them and they don't make my skin crawl.

But then I like U2 too. Mabe I’m drawn to areshole front men

[neph93]

I think it is because they are so bland, but also unoriginal. It’s like they curated all the most uninteresting parts of 30 years of alt rock (not least U2), and put it together. You can’t spell «banal» without «a…». Ok I’ll stop there.

[Bridger]

Thanks @Giles

I think music, like all art, is subjective. It is a fool's errand to attempt to say what is good or bad. Whatever you enjoy is cool.

PS For what it's worth I think The Unforgettable Fire is a masterpiece

[Jett129]

If this doesn't send your jaw to the floor,I don't know what will. Especially the guitar players in this thread,and last but not least who the fuck is Grace Bowers?
