Just gave this a listen, liked it a lot too. The high-pitched last track was great

He is good.

Nea - the beautiful clear melodies of the first song are irresistible to me, I absolutely love it. The second one doesn't stand out paricularly, but it's nice. Great music video too.

ffs I just realised Vanessa Carlton is the 1000 miles girl and now I have to watch this on repeat at least 10 times

Virna Lindt - Attention Stockholm

**Marie Monday** · 12-07-2020, 02:29 PM

nea - I have no clue why she's calling out to Stockholm, but it's a pretty nice song. At times dramatic, at other times danceable.
fire - I just listened to this; it has a relatively strong dancing-naked-around-a-fire-deep-in-the-forest-vibe (which is a cool vibe). I especially liked the last track.

good to see I still have pitchfork taste after all this time

like I’ve said many times pitchfork is a great resource

The only time I think they get out of their depth is with jazz.

I think when it comes to classic jazz records they shouldn’t assign a numerical score to them

Like I’ll know the significance of a record and they’ll be like 8.6 or 9.3 like it’s a new release

It’s reductive and not helpful to put a record that still holds up 40 - 60 years later on that continuum when time and history have already spoken for it.

This is a new issue but it’s Monk from 68.

Gets a 9.1 ok

https://www.google.com/amp/s/pitchfo...d-fantasy/amp/

Kanye gets a 10

So I mean they’re going to attach a numerical value to this

Kanye never made anything better than Monk in 68. If I had those guys in a room and I called them out on this they’d know damn well their position was indefensible.

If they really think there’s a .9 shortcoming in Monk’s performance that night they should do themselves a favor and leave the rating off and just write about the recording. You don’t judge Monk like you do Beach House or whatever. Monk’s place in the pantheon of greats is already determined. They need to stick to helping us sort out new music and make discriminating choices to focus our listening time. But don’t try to tell me you’re giving Monk an A minus. Bitch, you don’t get to grade Monk.
