Good Flying Birds - Talulah's Tape

Because Qobuz pays reviewers my curiosity will occasionally be peaked and with a write up on a new album and when the opening line is "In the swimmable gulf between jangly power pop and straightforward indie rock lies the lo-fi and imminently enjoyable Good Flying Birds" I'm in for a listen...

Likely of interest to some here, they are in fact named after a GBV song, they describe themselves as jangling noisy guitar pop music group based in midwest USA

oh and to set themselves apart from the  full on wave of new bands with jangling guitars out there now, there is the occasional funny sample tossed in

I saw Good Flying Birds open for Horsegirl earlier this year...they were pretty catchy.  They played Rhizome a week or two back...I wanted to go, but I couldn't pull it off.  I had already tested my family's limits the last month or so on me leaving every night for a show

Usually I can’t get into these DJ mix CDs but disc one on this is killer

^ love that Commodore PET computer on that album cover

When I was a kid my dad brought one home from the school district for us to learn about these new fangled computers
it had a tape cassette player to load/save the data and I got dysentery on the Oregon trail many times on that.

also fun track

I think you have to request a life line...(or use this thing called the internet)

Getting dysentery on the Oregon Trail is a well-known experience for anyone who played the classic computer game "The Oregon Trail." In the game, dysentery is infamous for causing the unexpected demise of many pioneers during their journey westward. The phrase “You have died of dysentery” became a pop culture reference, representing both the unpredictability and educational elements of early computer gaming

tape cassette decks were widely used for data storage in the early days of personal computing. Home computers such as the Commodore PET, Apple II, and TRS-80 utilized compact cassette tapes to save and load programs, as floppy drives were often too expensive or unavailable at the time

New GBV showed up about a week early.  It's a ripper IMO...less of the prog stuff they've had on the last few and more punchy indie rock.  Best since...Warp and Woof, maybe?  Which is funny as that's only 6 years so not long, but also like 13 albums apart.

[Cock Van Der Palm]

Awesome.  I liked the prog stuff too.

Much more into the stuff with catchy hooks.

I dig the prog stuff too...just feels too weighted with those jams recently IMO.

Trainspotting soundtrack

Trainspotting soundtrack

i realize this is a bit grim, but i thought years ago this would be a great playlist for a funeral/wake.  starts with Lust For Life, gets reflective with Blue Blue Day and then the party gets started...
