Maybe so, but Leftover Crack seem to be a lot more easily available, which influences what I buy quite heavily. And [i]Fu[font=verdana]c[/font]k World Trade[/i] is a good album regardless.

Bartender 03-30-2005 09:20 PM

Yeah (though I only have one bootleg :-/). The choice of material is pretty good though, and I can't fault the cover art at all.

asymm 03-30-2005 10:00 PM

Picked it up today:

Prefuse 73 - [i]Surrounded By Silence[/i]

Tomahawk 03-30-2005 11:25 PM

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]Listen to it and tell me if it's worth buying. I heard bits of it in a record store last week and thought it sounded pretty good.[/QUOTE]
I don't like it, I actually regret buying it.

But a couple of other people I've talked to think it's great, so whatever, you might like it.

Little Man being Erased 03-31-2005 12:06 AM

Hmmmmm. Thanks for making my decision no easier. :)

a-thank ya LMBE!
myxamatosis just came on my playlist:

Little Man being Erased 03-31-2005 12:53 AM

Ahh... man I haven't listened to that album in aaaaaages.

malpractice9 03-31-2005 12:59 AM

mmmm radiohead binge
*takes another hit

Bandaid 03-31-2005 02:41 AM

Im binging on what seems to be the current indie forum darling, The Decemberists - Picaresque

Bartender 03-31-2005 08:48 AM

[QUOTE=Bartender]Going from the intro and first verse of the first track; it is, very much so. I'll get back to you tomorrow with a more detailed take on it, though.[/QUOTE]

I've listened through it a couple of times now, without skipping anything..as far as I can tell, he hasn't put a foot wrong throughout the whole thing. Listening to it further might reveal weaknesses in replay value, but first impressions are very good, though, if you like [i]Sea Change[/i] Beck more than [i]Odelay![/i] Beck, you might be disappointed, I suppose. It's a lot closer to the hip hop-influenced, good-times-all-round thing he had going earlier on, than it is the singer-songwriter. And going by Tomahawk's reaction, it's possible that it's just bad, and I'm just initially misjudging it somehow.

The Ashtray Girl 03-31-2005 11:06 AM

I finally got around to giving [i]Funeral[/i] a good listen (very late, I know). I like it.

Well_Respected_Man 03-31-2005 09:37 PM

I Like The Monks.

It's Monk Time.

Bartender 03-31-2005 09:55 PM

For now I'm listening to the B-52s self-titled, and enjoying it though I am, I think I may die from an overdose of stupid.

Robert Crumb 03-31-2005 11:27 PM

My friend gave me a TMBG c.d. and ****, they're pretty okay. Like the M.R. as well.
Lately I've been digging a lot of: The Libertines, The Strokes, The Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, The Clash, The Dead Kennedys, and The Kinks.

malpractice9 04-01-2005 01:09 AM

going to the store to buy :
stars : set yourself on fire
the walkmen : bows + arrows
the shins : oh, inverted world
the shins : chutes too narrow

my wallet is soon to be anorexic

wow, "the past and pending" by the shins is terribly incredible

[QUOTE=Well_Respected_Man][B]Official Dagage:[/B]
Comets on Fire - Hazy Field Recordings
[/QUOTE]

You mean [i]Field Recordings from the Sun[/i]? Did you mess up again (after the The Monks blunder), or is that some similarly titled release I'm not aware of?

But whatever, I just finished listening to [i]Blue Cathedral[/i], and they finally clicked with me. Greeeaat stuff. I'll probably spin it again later to celebrate the clickingness.

I've also been diggin' on GYBE lately. [i]Lift Yr. Fists[/i] and [i]Slow Riot[/i].

Iai 04-01-2005 05:34 AM

I'm digging The Pixies today. I'm making CDs for my friends before we go to Reading, so that they know a bit about each band before they decide who to see. So I figured I'd indulge myself, too.

Tonight = Iron Maiden.

br3ad_man 04-01-2005 05:55 AM

I'm listening to The Killers. What fun.

Iai 04-01-2005 06:11 AM

Who, funnily enough, will appear at Reading right before The Pixies.

Luckily all my friends already have their album, so I won't need to copy that one for anybody.

br3ad_man 04-01-2005 06:14 AM

I hear they suck live.
