Hell no. Considering Trinity Roots have no broken up and that the Black Seeds, Phoenix Foundation, Fat Freeddy's Drop and basically anything Barnaby Weird touches are all brilliant ( and from Welly) I'm going to have to POOP on your statement Liberi my man.

Never heard of this Barnaby Weird. The Phoenix Foundation are indeed another great band from Wellington, as are Fad Freddy's Drop. I have never really found much to be interested in with The Black Seeds.

It just seems to me as though Wellington lacks in other areas of the musical world, where other parts of New Zealand thrive. It does however have a great Jazz scene, which I don't really hear much of thanks to the r18 limit to most gigs.

Sorry, his name's Weir not Weird. He's the dude from The Black Seeds and the main guy behind Fly My Pretties. He also does a solo side-project which I forget.

Auckland still has the best bands, but Welington has the heart and soul. Especially Trinity Roots. Man, they were easily the best NZ band I've ever seen and one of the most passionate, soulful, intense and warm shows I've seen from anyone.

I'll miss them so.

[QUOTE=Slug]It was a hip hop kind of day, especially considering I met Biz Markie.[/QUOTE]

Ha, cool. Where'd you meet him?

I woke up to the Zombies today, played a couple random CDs in the car. Etc.

Ah, sounds vaguely familiar.

Yeah it is a real shame that they broke up, I only wish I knew about them before they had their last concert. Would have been wonderful to see them live for the last time ever.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]You did? You lucky bastard! I've loved the Biz since I was just a wee fella.

Today 'twas:

mmmmmmmmmm Entertainment. Good work bro. My burner is working now. must borrow cds.

I'm diggin Bruce Sprinsteen.

I heard an Antony & the Johnsons song last night. It's called [I]I hope theres someone[/I] ( or something similar). I don't know what to make of it yet. It was rather interesting adn sad to boot, but his voice kinda creeps me out.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]At least [i]someone[/i] else doesn't think so. I hate saying that because I get crucified by the fanboys.[/QUOTE]

Well it's true, it's a 3/5 and a 3.5/5 on a good day. I've never really seen what was so great about the album other than it's one where you listen to it once every couple of months and then it's back in the CD case.

Scarface - [I]The Diary[/I]
GBV - [I]Half Smiles Of The Decomposed[/I]

Cursive - [I]Burst & Bloom[/I]
M. Ward - [I]Transfiguration of Vincent[/I]
Built To Spill - [I]Perfect From Now On[/I]

I forgot how good that Built to Spill album was. Geez, I love it so much.

Could you YSI it?

You know the whole "I lost all my files" deal.

Sure.

[QUOTE=asdf]That's the album that I wanted to hear more, but it's taking forever to download. I'm listening to Evig Pint right now and really enjoying it, though. I'm going to have to buy an album. It's going to be difficult to track down, though.[/QUOTE]



Hey, just thought you want to know that Kaizers Orchestra has just released a new CD in Norway, called Maestro. Have not listened to it yet, but the reviews has been great

Scene Creamers - [I]I Suck on That Emotion[/I]
New Wet Kojak - [I]Nasty International[/I]
Sicbay - [I]The Firelit S'coughs[/I]

and [I]The Bends[/I].

[QUOTE=el doctor]The Dixie Dregs - What If
Asobi Seksu - s/t
Dungen - Ta Det Lugnt[/QUOTE]This stuff still, but add:

Melt-Banana - Scratch or Stitch
Kaizers Orchestra - Ompa Til du Dør
Tiger Trap - s/t

You crazy arts students.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Red House Painters - [i]Ocean Beach[/i]
[/QUOTE]How have you liked it so far?

Today:
The Psychedelic Furs - [i]The Psychedelic Furs[/i]
Echo & the Bunnymen - [i]Heaven Up Here[/i]

[QUOTE=NachoChez]I'm liking Sun Kil Moon better so far, but the RHP album seems more difficult and probably needs more time. Sun Kil Moon hit me right away, and this feels like a grower.[/QUOTE]
It's a gorgeous, melancholy record. One I'd consider to evoke the strongest emotional pull from me. My favorite Painters record. Definitely let it grow, it's amazing.

[QUOTE=Tapeworm]mmmmmmmmmm Entertainment. Good work bro. My burner is working now. must borrow cds.

I'm diggin Bruce Sprinsteen.[/QUOTE]Indeed, my friend, indeed.

I like the few songs I've heard now.

Do you write prose asymm?

The new Coheed is pretty good.

Is it just like the older stuff though?

^ They've lost alot of the pop-punk stuff. It's more like...'80s metal done right I guess.

Reminds me of a less gay Rush.

Cool.

Jamming to [I]The Crowing [/I] is a guilty pleasure of mine.

A friend of mine that likes primus wants me to get her into some of The Residents music, so I burned her duckstab, seeing as all the residents songs that primus covered are on that album. I listened to most of the album before burning it, and realized how much I loved it. I had forgotten all about it.

Then I got a song from the commercial album stuck in my head, so I had to go listen to it. I'm playing it on vinyl right now, and I still love it like I did a few years ago. Truely a great album.

I'll probably listen to intermission, mark of the mole, tunes of two cities, and third reich n roll within the next few days. Good stuff.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]Do you write prose asymm?[/QUOTE]

Nope, I don't. I've written a couple of album reviews, but that's about the extent of my literary side.

I'm really digging this Michael Franti and Spearhead bootleg I just downloaded. It is quite tasty.
