The problem I have with it is that it doesn’t support Chromecast, which is how I listen to music on Spotify through proper speakers. Might not seem like a major thing, but if you use Bluetooth you can’t really navigate away from the app streaming the audio (ie. if you open YouTube, the sound from the video will come out of the speakers as well)
What kind of monster watches YouTube while listening to music.
Also while the YT app only plays if it’s on the Bandcamp one I’m sure plays on my Bluetooth speaker while I’m on the web
Perhaps it’s all device dependent. It’s just that I’ve found that when I’m connected with Bluetooth, if I happen to accidentally scroll past something with audio on Facebook for example, the playback stops.
Ah right, this is true of all Bluetooth I think yeah - if you have audio on the videos it will play that and drop the current sound. I guess Chromecast sends differently.
the only track that rubs me the wrong way a bit is the cover/traditional song, just feels a bit lame compared to everything else
Aye I’ll never skip it but I think it’s the disparity after those first run of 3 ridiculously incredible songs. That opening hammond organ
@Icarus-Smicarus and other Ty Segall fans on here - did you see that his and White Fence’s collab album Hair is now streaming?
Ooooh lovely
Hang on, people don’t like Goose Eggs? It’s amazing!
Looks like they really are drip feeding stuff. Viva Last Blues now up.
One of Oldham’s absolute best that!
That and I See A Darkness are joint top for me I think
Difficult to argue with that, I also rank Ease Down The Road VERY highly too
The Lost Blues and Other Songs compilation’s amazing… has all the early singles like Ohio River Boat Song and Come In. Cracking stuff.
Have always had a fondness for Master & Everyone too.
I’ve got that one but it’s never grabbed me that much. Enjoy Master and Everyone more.
Don’t know if it’s up on Spotify yet, but last year’s Wolf of the Cosmos, BPB’s reinterpretation of Susanna’s Sonata Mix Dwarf Cosmos, is a recent gem. Susanna’s back catalogue is also worth exploring generally. The Bonnie Prince lost me a bit with Best Troubador, but I am right back with him on this.
I see a darkness, ease down the road and master and everyone is a stunning 3 album run. Ease down the road probably just shades it for me - At the break of day does me every time on that record.
Having a Smog day. He really used to be phenomenal huh. it’s a shame that his last couple of solo albums have been such boring drivel.
Whaaaaat Apocalypse and Eagle are fantastic!? Never really gave Dream River or Have Fun with God much of a listen though…
