calvino Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 She has become common ground between my 6 year old and my wife and I during road trips --- the Avant Gardner video hooked him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I like everything about her (my friends all know I have a soft spot for a girl playing electric guitar), but her writing style particularly catches my attention. She has a great way of turning a phrase, and capturing a unique perspective on the ordinary and everyday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I like everything about her (my friends all know I have a soft spot for a girl playing electric guitar), but her writing style particularly catches my attention. She has a great way of turning a phrase, and capturing a unique perspective on the ordinary and everyday. I use "Elevator Operator" (the first song on her album) as a prime example of this. She paints such a vivid picture of the lives of these people in the song that I am left longing for more about their lives. I want the novelization of these people after this moment in time that she beautifully captures with humor and pathos. The same goes for "Depreston." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Gave the CD another listen. It is better than okay. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 In fact I am going to give her more money and check out her recent album too. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chez Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 ^^^ You won't be disappointed. IMO, it's one of the best releases of 2015. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Just saw that Courtney and Depreston are the latest Song Exploder podcast treatment. Haven't listened yet, but have the podcast downloaded and cued up to listen to during my morning commute. Should be good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skian Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 She is pretty cool. Great performance. Good stage presence too. Patti Smith Cover - Redondo Beach https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th9_0PqpRgE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 From the soon to be released Day of the Dead tribute album, they released the full track of Courtney's performance of New Speedway Boogie. Giving one of my favorite GD tunes the Courtney Barnett treatment, sounds great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdaAQlmExmI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 My 16-year-old son is now in to her. Really wants to go see her next time she comes to Chicago. Of course, he doesn't want to go with his dad, but at the same time, he doesn't know a single person at his high school who has even heard of her, let alone is a fan.

worldrecordplayer Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 My then 24 year old son turned me on to her when he got his hands on a pre-release leaked copy of Sometimes I Sit and Think...He had been listening to her for a while already and claims he had already played Avant Gardner for me, but I must not have been focused. I love it when the wheel turns round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Courtney posted on Facebook a great video for Elevator Operator, with a cameo of a certain father/son musical team from Chicago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Courtney last night, election night, in Denver. Breaking out an acoustic version of this election night blues tune, Drunk on Election Night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koUNOucbPLs I went to a party with my girl in the cityOn election nightI was hoping everybody’d make a move to the leftBut we gone and made a swing to the leftNow I’m singing the blues for the countryAs we move into another long night I said ‘you’re making a fool of the country holding hands with the Christian right’Then I turned to my girl and I cried…Gonna jump that train and rideSail on the next high tideJust to get away from that cocksucker motherfuckerPlaying on my mind and darkening our times Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I love that they thought to lip sync each others parts. Hilarious. Great song too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Love the song, love the video! Sucks that I'll be out of town when the tour hits Boston. (well, I'll be in Nashville with friends celebrating a birthday, so I shouldn't complain, but you know what I mean...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
