With all the discussion of Eli and Young, I figured I'd start a thread about some of the actual good music coming out of Denton.

http://thelineofbestfit.com/news/latest-news/midlake-stream-title-track-antiphon-from-new-album-133978?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=midlake-stream-title-track-antiphon-from-new-album

For those familiar with Midlake, front-man Tim Smith is no longer with the band...taking away his wonderful, just woke up from a nap voice. Eric Pulido is now handling lead-vocals...and it seems as though the band has adjusted to their new voice with a more ambient, shoe-gaze sound rather than trying to force Pulido's voice into a Tim Smith mold. I'm digging what I've heard so far...kinda need to divorce yourself from the thought of "I'm listening to Midlake(?)" and approach this new work as though it were from a new band entirely.

Midlake...is that about halfway between Denton and Lake Worth?

In all seriousness...Midlake is really good...at least they were and I am glad CBL says the new version is good as well. have not heard the newer version, so will withhold comment on that until I do, but if they are anything like the original Midlake...good stuff here folks!

Really? Someone is being a toot here I see....

Never been a huge fan but the guys are cool and I support just about anything Denton.

They are playing the Airwaves fest in Iceland in Nov. Went last year, it's a blast. From what I remember. :)

The new track is Tame Impala-esque, I like it. Each of their albums are so different from the others, Trials of Van Occupanther is in my top 10 post 2000 albums so it's going to be hard for them to top it this time. I'm just hoping it's better than the last one.

I've tried listeing to Midlake and just can't get on board, but like meanrob stated, I support them since they are from Denton. My question is why, like in the bolded part above, do people feel the need to put down a band or musical genre they don't like?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
