The concert is professionally filmed and sounds great. I love the new album California, but the Untitled era of this band may have been the peak. Wonder why the band never formally released the concert.

Linkin Park + Friends
Following the tragic death of Linkin Park’s lead singer, Chester Bennington, the band put on a concert at the Hollywood Bowl with other artists filling in for Chester’s parts. The concert’s got me going back to Hybrid Theory and wondering whether its all nostalgia or if its actually good. I’m leaning to the latter.
The Wonder Years acoustic for Fondos Unidos de Puerto Rico
Following the release of Burst and Decay, which I posted about last week, and the hurricane in Puerto Rico, The Wonder Years have broadcast an acoustic set. Donations are going to Fondos Unidos de Puerto Rico, and they’ve brought in a bit over $5,000 so far. Several songs include a string quartet, and “Cardinals” still kills me.
Milk – The 1975
The 1975 released “Milk” today as a single, which has previously been released as a hidden song at the end of “You” on the Sex EP. This just caught my attention because of how odd it is. I can think of several examples of bands re-recording songs for a new release, but never a band releasing a hidden track a single 5 years later. I wonder what they’re planning.
Burst & Decay – The Wonder Years
The Wonder Years released an acoustic EP last week, Burst and Decay. These versions reimagine the songs and highlight how good of songwriters these guys are. The whole EP reminds me of the thought and effort Motion City Soundtrack put into the acoustic songs they released around Even If It Kills Me and My Dinosaur Life.
2017 Has Been A Good Music Year
The National – Sleep Well Beast
The National had a new album come out a few weeks ago, Sleep Well Beast, and they did this concert for Pitchfork to promote the new record. I was a bit late in on this band, but really enjoyed their last album Trouble Will Find Me as much as I’ve enjoyed the new record.

Paramore on Tiny Desk Concert
The tiny desk concert series is always fun, but this one is particularly great. Paramore’s last couple albums have been fantastic, and this doesn’t disappoint.
