<p>Oso Oso played a lot of new songs last night. And I got to pick up the new record a month early, so I’m sure there will be an early review on the blog. First listen today! (The singles have been great)</p>

<p>Posting this the next day, but Leisure Hour was so much better live than recorded. Such a fun band.</p>

<p><em>If today were a genre, what would it be? Pick a matching song.</em></p>
<p>Beautiful fall day and seeing Oso Oso tomorrow with Bad Luck., Leisure Hour, and The Weather Might Say Otherwise. 🤘</p>

<p><em>What’s a remix or cover you like more than the original?</em></p>
<p>Love that she turns this into a folk song.</p>

<p><em>What’s a hidden gem or underrated song you love?</em></p>
<p>I never gave <em>Beaster</em> a real chance, even though I love Sugar and <em>Copper Blue</em>... until I picked up the re-release of Copper that included the Beaster tracks as well. I still don't like it as much as Copper, but there are some great moments on the EP and this track is one of them...</p>

<p>This song came on shuffle this afternoon and I remember the first time I heard this album in high school. It just <em>sounded</em> like what I thought cool would sound like (and still does...)</p>

<p><em>What’s your favorite deep cut from an album?</em></p>
<p>Apparently I've posted a lot of tracks from this album, but it's an easy one to go to for a lot of prompts. For this one, I feel like most of the songs are considered deep cuts in Radiohead's discography.</p>
<p>Will say it again... this album is so underrated. Mainly because of what was to come, which I get... but as a standalone, it's so good.</p>

<p>Digging this new album from Stef Chura. A quick review up on the blog...</p>

<p><em>Share a song you feel was ahead of its time.</em></p>
<p>Bad Brains fit the bill. Just insanely talented and amazing performers that took hardcore punk in a whole new direction.</p>

<p>Making plans to go see Fontaines and Westside Cowboy in Philly next spring. 🤞</p>

<p><em>What’s a lyric that resonates deeply with you and why?</em></p>
<blockquote>
<p>All I wanna do is look at you
Looking at me with the moonlight in your eyes
These days come so quick
These nights go so quick now
Alright</p>
</blockquote>
<p>A great album that came out today... these lyrics speak to me because I recently spent about 30 days away from my wife while taking care of my dad and I missed her terribly.</p>

<p><em>If your life were a movie, what would its theme song be?</em></p>
<p>Killer record. Killer lyrics:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Have I been dodging the column for years for nothing?
Have I been bleeding a stone or is there life in lumber?
Do some things just take a long time?
Is this a dam or a river?
I guess I've made up my mind Some things just go out with a whimper
Some things just wither in the sunshine
Let myself slip in the rhythm of a dead drum
I thought the snares would stay tight
But now I see the light and I know
Some things just go out of style</p>
</blockquote>

<p><em>A song from a genre you didn’t think you’d like—what changed?</em></p>
<p>There aren’t too many genes I don’t like at least some sub-genre or take, besides maybe classical and EDM.</p>
<p>I did even like the Fred again.. song from Naz Hamid’s recent Crucial Tracks interview so I guess I will go with that…</p>

<p><em>How do you discover new music, and what’s the latest gem you’ve found?</em></p>
<p>Been challenging to find new stuff since Brooklyn Vegan ended, Stereogum went to subscribers only for a lot of content, Pitchfork and Northern Transmissions seem to be hit or miss if they even post reviews some weeks... I've come to rely on AlbumOfTheYear.org (AOTY) to give me an overview of all of the albums released each week.</p>
<p>So, my current set up is: Apple Music New Releases view, Albums.app release feed, AOTY, then random things I see elsewhere like YouTube.</p>
<p>This one is actually an AOTY find, as I didn't see it on the Apple New Releases prior to listening. Anyway, the record is pretty solid: 90s influenced grunge/alt rock.</p>

<p><em>What is a song that feels like home to you?</em></p>
<p>First night back home after 30 days of 24/7 care of my dad. Can’t believe it’s finally here.</p>
