All Things Kurt Vile

There is a deluxe edition available now. It is pictured above. I have it as well. Great album and great bonus tracks in an awesome tri-fold.

 

I am talking about CDs. I am sure those LP bonus trax will be on the inevitable CD deluxe.

 

b'lieve i'm goin down... is a strong album-of-the-year contender. Wow, this might be Kurt's best album from start to finish. It has a great vibe and the first half is a great, great stretch of songs.

 

Was listening to "Smoke Rings" today. Need to pick up the new LP. I always get a Meat Puppets vibe from Kurt.

 

Is KV's new one a good place to start?

 

^^

Yes. Very accessible. Ditto for wakin'....

 

Smoke Ring and continue on IMO.

 

You can do that, too...

 

Still my favorite:

 

"Sister Ray" by Kurt Vile, Kim Gordon, Steve Gunn...

 

"Pretty Pimpin" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert...

 

Ha, what's J Mascis doing in the back? Pretty low key cameo.

 

Will catch Kurt Vile in concert early in March. First time.

 

He's playing a Korg Arp Odyssey synthesizer.

I just purchased the CD with Courtney Barnett.
I was aware of Courtney but not Kurt.
Until I did a Google search and found out he was the lead guitarist for War On Drugs.
Anyway....I love this new album and would like to dig deeper into Kurt's catalogue.
Any suggestions...

 

As a Philadelphian I am well versed in the world of TWoD and Vile. Great stuff.

Start with Smoke Ring for My Halo. Also the first few tracks on Wakin on a Pretty Daze are excellent.

 

Thanks...
After I posted this...I couldn't wait..
Went straight to Amazon and ordered
Smoke Ring, Pretty Daze and prodigy Child.
Got them for 10.00 each.

 

Matador and Kurt Vile both tweeted:


That's the Matador logo under the E, so it's not just the signs of a well named politician. New album about to be announced?

 

Certainly would appear to be so.

 

Love his Three Penny Opera. Oh yeah; sorry. Never mind.
