[QUOTE=DogInTheSand]Nice, is that their newer one?[/QUOTE]

According to RYM it's their 2003 EP. I think Bartender said something about this being their only North American release.

I did? I don't think it's the only thing available in America - most of their stuff seems to be available via Southern Lord now - but maybe it was the first made available outside Japan or something. I know [i]Feedbacker[/i] (another 2003 release of theirs) was only just made available in Europe earlier this year.

I picked it ([i]Akuma No Uta[/i]) up while I was away, actually. What do you think of it?

Yeah that's probably it. I was a little surprised actually when I listened to the songs from Akuma, it's a lot different from [I]Flood[/I], which is like 100x slower than what bands like Pelican and Cult of Luna usually play.

I've not heard [i]Flood[/i]. I've only had the time to listen to [i]Akuma No Uta[/i] once so far, actually. I like the [url=http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0008F10O2.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg]cover art[/url] though, though I don't really know why they chose to imitate Nick Drake.

I want a guitar and bass in one. That thing is badass.

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]I want a guitar and bass in one. That thing is badass.[/QUOTE]

Oh yeah definitely. You could play both of them at the same time: plucking and snapping some percussive root notes on the bass while fretting/tapping the guitar strings. Or wait... I dunno :(

Lootpack

The Psychedelic Furs - [i]The Psychedelic Furs[/i]

I'd just like to be playing bass but also be able to pick some leads out when I'm not playing bass.

I always thought you hated Radiohead.

So I guess I'm on the Kaizers Orchestra bandwagon then.

[QUOTE=I Was A Kaleidoscope]Thingy - To The Innocent.

The songs would be repetitive and boring if they were any longer, as with all Thingy/Heavy Vegetable albums.

2 Two Gallants 39
3 Old Crow Medicine Show 37
4 All Girl Summer Fun Band 23
5 The Weakerthans 18

Man, that list is almost entirely made up of bands I've never heard of.

too much Lali Puna...

Lali Puna = awesome.

The Delgados - The Great Eastern
Thomas Dybdahl - That Great October Sound
dEUS - The Ideal Crash
Young Gods - L'Eau Rouge

I'm feeding my addiction to Quannum artists. The new Blackalicious and Lyrics Born's LP are shakin' the dorm these days.

Am now fully listening to [I]Akuma No Uta[/I] and I think it won't be leaving my discman for a while. I admit I like it more than their droney material.

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]Mehr. I only like Kid A and Amnesiac tons.

I don't understand why so many people dislike Amnesiac.

As far as diggage, DJ Shadow, RJD2, and Daft Punk so far today.

Today I've listened to:

DFA1979 - You're A Woman, I'm A Machine
Tool - Lateralus

Right now I'm d/ling Interpol - Antics.

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]Kanye West - Late Registration
DangerDoom - The Mouse and The Mask[/QUOTE]

Score! Those albums still remain my favorite rap albums to date.

So far, today's been:

Fugazi - [I]Repeater[/I]
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - [I]Shake the Sheets[/I]

Bauhaus - [i]In The Flat Field[/i]
Brian Eno - [i]Ambient 1: Music for Airports[/i]
and a little bit of [i]Late Registration[/i]

It's been a MF Doom and Peter Tosh bootleg kind of morning.

A friend also gave me Sparklehorse's [i]Good Morning Spider[/i] to listen to. Conclusion? It's f'ucking amazing.

Sparklehorse is definately incredible.
