all right... smoking some weed... making some coffee... i'm ready

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 12:40 (six years ago)

i have listened to "i think there's something you should know" sooo many times this evening

― ufo, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 12:52 (six years ago)

frail state of mind still like passing through a vortex

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 12:53 (six years ago)

wait til you hear "i think there's something you should know" as far as passing through a vortex goes

― ufo, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 12:57 (six years ago)

"the birthday party" is such an amazing song

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 12:58 (six years ago)

Never mind. I was unable to find it.

i think "yeah i know" is extremely cool, i'm in love with that "veridis quo" synth line

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:05 (six years ago)

and then "then because she goes" is a hey mercedes song

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:06 (six years ago)

that is way too short but i'll take it

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:07 (six years ago)

wish they'd written a full "tom courtenay" instead of the half they gave us

― ufo, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:10 (six years ago)

ROADKILL

wow correct

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:20 (six years ago)

"nothing revealed/everything denied" is a chance the rapper track

― ufo, Monday, May 18, 2020 11:31 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

oh yeah and it's fuckin sick

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:24 (six years ago)

life
feels like a lie
i need something to be true

is there anybody out there?????

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:25 (six years ago)

i've just had a huge smile on my face through "i think there's something you should know" -> "nothing revealed/everything denied" -> "tonight i wish i was your boy"

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:27 (six years ago)

that middle stretch from "jesus christ" to "tonight" is my favourite part

― ufo, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:28 (six years ago)

"tonight"!!! that's sophistipop!!!!

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:29 (six years ago)

"shiny collarbone" is fucking sick

this is such a disjointed experience but idk i already love it a lot more than brief inquiry (a record i love)

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:31 (six years ago)

The YLT song? It's amusing trying to piece together how this sounds based on these comments.

― Hey, let me drunkenly animate yr boats in about 25 to 60 days! (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:33 (six years ago)

OK found a copy

― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:34 (six years ago)

yeah the ylt song

it sounds like at least 4 different albums in different genres shuffled together

― ufo, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:35 (six years ago)

yes it really does

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:35 (six years ago)

meanwhile "if youre too shy" is still the best song i've ever heard

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:36 (six years ago)

"If You're Too Shy" is such a well-constructed song.

― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:36 (six years ago)

"shiny collarbone" is very cool but is the peak of the absolutely bizarre sequencing

― ufo, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:39 (six years ago)

really think they nailed the acoustic songs on this record, "playing on my mind" is just another example of that

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:41 (six years ago)

imo they should be writing for country artists

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:43 (six years ago)

and producing

― ufo, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:45 (six years ago)

"having no head" is like "how to draw/petrichor" pt 3

i am so pleased

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:47 (six years ago)

"what should i say"

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, May 19, 2020 1:28 AM (five hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

yes

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:50 (six years ago)

what a fuckin weird record

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 13:57 (six years ago)

it has maybe the weirdest/worst sequencing of any record ive ever heard

― ufo, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 14:00 (six years ago)

second only to the last one

― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 14:01 (six years ago)

?

― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 14:01 (six years ago)

the whiplash effect of the sequencing is i think a feature for me in the case of this particular record

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 14:05 (six years ago)

wake up wake up wake up it's tuesday morning

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 14:18 (six years ago)

i think "yeah i know" is fucking amazing

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 14:35 (six years ago)

i know it gets hard sometimes
making out with people that you don't like

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 14:44 (six years ago)

I lol'd at the "sorry for not chiming in on the election, I'm busy" line wherever that happened

― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 14:50 (six years ago)

I kind of suspect this is not coalescing for me for similar reasons as the hayley williams album and a couple others this year and that's the combo of super eclectic sonics and super insular writing which grates on me probably unfairly

there's lots to like in both of course

― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 14:54 (six years ago)

and i won’t get clothes online 'cause i get worried about the fit
that rule don’t apply concerning my relationships

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 15:13 (six years ago)

very jarring to see pinegrove and their "weirdness" namechecked in song

― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 15:18 (six years ago)

adore most of this on first listen but yup the sequencing is truly bizarre. also don't really care for the bookend-y instrumentals on either side of "frail state of mind."

two moments that hit me particularly hard: "feeling like someone, like somebody else, who don't feel himself" on "i think there's something you should know" + those "i kno-o-o-ow" bits of the "roadkill" chorus

― petey v, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 15:44 (six years ago)

every time matt uses "we" I wonder who he thinks he's talking about ("I'm not made of it", sure pal)

― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 15:53 (six years ago)

people like people, they want alive people? yeah right matty

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 15:54 (six years ago)

"Then Because She Goes" is one of the best things on here imho

― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 16:03 (six years ago)

yeah that shit is emo

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 16:11 (six years ago)

re: the bridge of "roadkill"

youuuuuu
i've been waiting for youuuu
my whole life

maybe my favorite melody matty's ever written, my god

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 16:15 (six years ago)

it's the best of the album tracks

― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 16:17 (six years ago)
