the new wu lyf single

It's hard to overstate the obsession I had with this band's debut LP and the despair I felt after their breakup because I missed my chance to catch them in Cambridge, MA in 2011. Now all of a sudden, here they are 14 years later with a pretty great song and potentially more on the way. So much has happened in that time, and it's almost disorienting to revisit them in a completely new context. It's inspiring to see a beautiful thing come back when it seemed to be gone forever.

WU LYF - A New Life is Coming

Holy shit, WU LYF is back and still good and I'm so excited for a new album! "Go Tell Fire to the Mountain" was probably my favorite album when I found it in 2015, but by then, they had already broken up, so hopefully this is a return to form! It sure like it sounds like one! Bonus Rec: "Go Tell Fire to the Mountain" by WU LYF (wait for the closer, "Heavy Pop") https://wulyf.bandcamp.com/album/go-tell-fire-to-the-mountain

Wu lyf

This band only made one album and it’s so very good. It’s that indie rock from the early 2000s but it’s post rock but the vocals are shredded and it’s something different. And the drummer can’t sit still but he shouldn’t and it’s really good. Just listen to it!

90 minute movies

it’s the perfect length for me to watch after work , i can start a movie at 11 or even 12 & get to bed at the (mostly) reasonable hour of 1:30 at the latest . sometimes i will extend this to 100 or 110 min if i‘m feeling indulgent or ambitious . i could watch an hour of tv but this gives me a whole story in only a little bit more time .
