Oooh oooooh!
If anyone is interested in a great concert film, my pals in Manchester Orchestra just dropped a great one last night. Itās their last album āA Black Mile To The Surfaceā played in a studio front to back with some pretty great production. They are releasing new music next week so this was āthe endā of that record so to speak.
Saw this on Uncrate - Thought it was dumb at first but adding in the random background noise makes the music more like whitenoise, great for working.
Nothing gets me more ready to take some scratch from the group

Man, what a throwback. I was a dorky skater in the 90s and hereās one of my favorite albums (probably still in my top list)
You aināt got to explain $h!t!
This and Payback were my go-to songs when I gambled a lot playing pool
Iāve spent the last hour trying to come to terms with this.
Why now? Itās been 8 years since RAM, 5 years since their last appearance with The Weeknd.
Is it really over? They used āTouchā for the lyrics āHold on If love is the answer you hold.ā
This year fucking sucks guis.
Came here to mention it as well. Blahhhhhhhhhh
When I started going through their collection in its entirety last week or so ago I was feeling somewhat optimistic for the announcement of a new album sometime soon. Or maybe a post pandemic tour.
I absolutely love this shit.
And itās funny they put out a second video with Shia Hulud in there because Hulud got me into NOFX.
Apparently Iām still in the denial stage. I donāt believe bands as big as them just ābreak up.ā. Theyāll be back. They always come back.
Hell, Van Halen even took back Diamond Dave. I think these robots will produce more music together in the future
Theyāre so calculated with everything, just doesnāt seem like today is the end. It canāt be, right?
Thereās no reference, thereās no significance, thereās no finale. An epilogue? Thatās not the robots. This is abrupt. After 8 years of nothing, 5 years since their last appearance we get a recycled video and song? Nah, man.
Weāve got 312 days that lāll be holding out hope for.
All the feels there and itās a mask.
Yeah Iām really dumbfounded as well and the way you said the above is spot on.
The movie clip is very fitting, Iāll give them that, but still this isnāt their typical level of wit/creativity. Kinda like if Banksy just spray painted a goodbye stencil and that was it.
Itās so jarring and so abrupt and the calculated part being left out entirely almost makes me wonder if something awful happened personally. To not have the time or energy to put into some elaborate goodbye? I obviously hope not, but just kinda lost on what else would make them just throw up that old clip from the movie and call it.
This has been in my head for 2 days.
Music adjacent - check out how sweet this head cover is. Itās my old Iron Maiden 2016 Book of Souls tour Chicago specific shirt. Purchased it my junior year of college and really have not worn it much since I became a real adult. Shoutout to Brenda at Geau Golf for the craftsmanship. I canāt wait for the double takes and āWhatās that on your driver?ā from all the randos at my club this season.
Canāt say Iām a huge Daft Punk fan, but thought this was pretty fucking cool:
