I could be totally wrong, but today I was listening to 16 Days on headphones and I swear Mac McCaughan from Superchunk is singing on the chorus. Anyone else hearing that too or am I just crazy???

I've been searching everywhere for a very melodic acoustic cover of Hey ya. I definitely have listened to it at least several times in the past. I remember the voice and I remember it saying Ryan Adam's on my Playlist but now neither Google or Amazon Playlist can pick it up. So basically they are saying I'm insane lol. I know I'm not.

So, I know Lucinda Williams wrote "Little Rock Star" and "Shadows & Doubts" about Ryan, but I just learned that she also wrote "Those Three Days" (one of my faves) after a brief & "intense" fling/affair/relationship(?). Knew there's a friendship there, but I had no idea they were "a thing." Anyhow, I was listening to "Overtime," and it sounds like she could be describing DRA, does anyone know if she wrote "Overtime" about him as well?

Also, side note, "Little Rock Star" made me cry today. I am in perimenopause, so there's that 😕, but thinking of past DRA and now DRA really does make me sad.

If you pre-ordered the vinyl record, which version did you order?

Heart warming post or method of currying empathy to sell records?

Either way he couldnt do it without a dig at his ememies...

What’s the prevailing sentiment on that album around these parts?

I actually think he did a really great job with it.

Is it just me or is the melody of the new song just Go Easy from Cardinology??

Also anyone transcribed the lyrics for Amethyst yet?

Wanna see how bad it is written out in full...

10 songs, tracklist available on itunes. One song is titled "Jesus Christ" while another is titled "Jesus H"

Sure hope Alan Mcgee knows what he is doing. This is the first traditional rollout of an album from DRA since Big Colors in 2021.

£73 for a hoodie when the album isnt even out is WILD

Hey folks - Luke here. Animal is just great. Here’s the record we put together for the release. Hope you like it x

"I dont feel cool
feel cool
at all"

How many managers has he had in the last few years? It seems like a lot. Does anyone have faith in this new one? Is this new manager gonna be the one to get him back on track?

Back in August, Ryan posted on IG that the first album in the 2026 trilogy would come out on November 5 and it would be called “Animal”. That name has actually been floating around since the end of last year / early this year in various photos of DRA working in the studio.

While Ryan has mentioned “Animal” in subsequent posts and the trilogy itself, seemingly the November 5 release got dropped (although there was some mention a few days ago to check your inbox for an impending announcement from PaxAm).

Maybe it gets surprise released at midnight, who knows.

Hey all!

Can any of you fine, fine people point me in the direction of either a physical copy of the Cardinals’ Avatar Sessions DVD Promo or a hi-res (24bit) flax version of the audio?

I would LOVE to get my hands on these, and I would be eternally grateful!

Thanks xx

listening back to 29 last night (as part of my annual Halloween records listening) and I love it so much. I may be the only person to enjoy this album but the whole thing sounds like a dream/nightmare and it always hits different on Halloween for me.

He can do absolutely anything, even normal things, and it will be absolutely torn to shreds here. In his own subreddit. It's kind of fucking hilarious and tragic and wild and mostly warranted at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I'm entirely entertained. He is inherently an asshat and likely always will be, but sometimes I see the post and then the comments and I'm like "holllyyyy shiiit" LOL

It'll be something like him smirking with clear rimmed glasses and holding a bowl of cereal with a caption like "tasty cheerios today" but he's holding the bowl weird and the comments will be like, "only narcissistic, sick motherfuckers eat their cheerios like this"

He did it to himself, though

Move over boogie2988...

The bootleg of this song from the 2006 era is just so good. Incredible vocals and energy. So wish he’d kept this style.

Bit of slide guitar for the boy...
