I'd still say his show seems a far cry away from the morning zoo kinda radio shows you were talking about. Cuz I know what you're talking about, and those shows are obnoxious to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 damn @daveyjones — i never realized that’s why i disliked marks show so much. hit the nail on the head. so annoying. the caffeinated morning-drive format is exhausting, especially when you grew up with it. i was genuinely hoping for longform music interviews and was sorely disappointed to hear mark shouting softball Q&A questions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Bagel Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Still listening to Losing My Mind. Still really impressed that Tom is letting more fun into AVA, they sound like something frokn2021. Makes me wanna get up and shake what my mother gave me. Also - when, if ever, will there be a Lollapalooza pro shot? It seems like that little AVA tour in 2019, Tom has finally cracked how to be a lone frontman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks comfortable without a guitar now doesn't he? But on the other hand I've always like him without a guitar so haha 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works the crowd, then when he slots a guitar on it elevates. Idk about before ahahah - especially when he played with Weezer hahaha. He is your boy tho, don’t worry - we’re both blinded by our Tom goggles. I never want to take them off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Losing My Mind might be my favourite AVA song in years. I haven't listened to it much, but it's grown on me already and it gets better after each listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 I really don't get why it's getting such love, tbh. It's not bad, I guess, but it doesn't seem particularly special, the verses are kind of annoying. Idk. I vastly prefer Euphoria but I'm clearly alone there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kibbles Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Only part I don’t really like about the song is the high pitched part right before the chorus. Has radio been picking it up at all? Thought it would get some play seems radio friendly, I heard Rebel Girl a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M!ke Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Losing My Mind feels like a solid radio hit, but it leaves much to be desired from me. I do enjoy it, but I dunno, something about it isn't quite clicking with me, not like some of these other new songs have anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theedge00 Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Just heard it, it is indeed really catchy! 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
