I somehow have not listened to U2’s Pop until now, but I can confirm that this album captures what we thought was going to be awesome about the future in the late 1990s

Just found a birthday song I recorded for a friend in 2008, which was apparently heavily influenced by Jason Molina's most crushing solo work and Leonard Cohen www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4Qg...

One reason I think it’ll be good to try EPs as a format is that you can focus so much on sharpening & shaping each individual song. Even when you write a song fast in one go, it usually needs you to come back and elevate certain lines, and elevate certain melodies so that they really stick.

I just realized that the basic concept of Nick Cave’s “Straight to You” and “The Ship Song” is simply “U2 but on heroine”

Does it make sense to do an EP of you have four songs you believe in unconditionally and want people to hear them ASAP?

Looking back at adolescence, I’m struck by how many people I came across who seemed to possess full self-knowledge, spoke with the voice of experience, and gave me advice & told me “how it is”—who then turned out, with time, to have absolutely no clue what they were talking about.

A Moon Shaped Pool was heralded at the time as a comeback after King of Limbs, but King of Limbs had more songs with melodies you can actually remember later, at least “Mr. Magpie” and “Little By Little,” they’re just really understated songs

What fascinates me about music in 2001 is that it was the last moment when we weren’t in a coordinated nostalgia cycle. It wasn’t until the end of that year that I remember people saying “rock is back.”

I'm going to shamelessly promote @flashlightfaces.bsky.social here because not only is their music excellent and groovy but I have also had the pleasure of doing two of their album covers.
