Juliana's most commercially successful song still manages to make me connect with the 16yo within. Coincidentally, Ethan went to my HS.

It's shards of Gawith springtime flake. My eyes are bigger than my bowls.
What is more 90’s The Lemon Heads or Miller Genuine Draft?
One is very good the other not so much.
I always liked the Lemonheads
60's, 70's, 80's and especially the 90's are my favourite eras for music. After the turn of the millennium it goes a bit off the boil for me. There's still great bands like The Libertines and The Strokes but in recent years hip hop has taken over the world and i'm not a fan of modern hip hop.
There's a lot more music out there today and it costs little to nothing to listen to so it has become more disposable. People hear a new song or album then it's on to the next. Back in the day if I bought a Sex Pistols or Nirvana album I would play it into the ground.

Oh gosh I can't believe how much great new music there is now.
Beach House, Ghost, The War on Drugs, Bat for Lashes, and so much more.
Records have always been mostly disposable and most bands too. It amazes me how many times I'll hear some band from the 90's and think "oh wow I totally forgot that pile of shit ever existed".
Me and my friends didn't have a lot of money so thought went into which records we bought and all the albums we bought got swapped between us and played to death. I don't think that happens as much anymore because of the proliferation of artists putting out music and the fact you can watch for nothing on YouTube.
Kurt Vile is good but I agree with the Sun Kil Moon guy that War on Drugs sounds like beer commercial music.
it happens. A lot of youngsters that I talk to seem to listen to music that way if they're music heads. And I don't know why they want to talk to the guy who cleans but they do (covid inspired loneliness is my theory). The difference is it's a choice not the only real option. Though I remember a lot of people who had record collections that each album probably got less then ten spins.
One thing I like about modern music listening is how many bands I have found out didn't suck as much as I thought they did. Because I didn't have to just hear the singles the record company picked but can go right to the deep cuts. It's amazing too how many craptastic bands have a few really great songs.
The War on Drugs sounds to me like they really really love Don Henley. Weird thing not a huge Henley fan but like the War on Drugs. Just started to check out Kurt Vile, sadly it's a great example of how inarticulate music fans can be when trying to explain why they think you'll like something. Because everyone that tried to get me to listen to his stuff made it sound dreadful.
Yes War on Drugs does sounds like Don Henley. Kurt Vile is great live btw, I'm sure he must play in your town on occasion.
