[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]Opinion? Is it not pure grungey gold?[/QUOTE]

It's pretty cool. Title track has been a favorite for a while, so I was kinda expecting to be underwhelmed, but there's a lot of fun stuff here on first listen. Been wanting it for a while.

Ended my evening with:

They're quite like Queens Of The Stone Age, Black Sabbath, stuff like that.
Stonerish. Fun.

Rob Crow is the singer, he's in numerous indie rock bands (Pinback, Thingy, Heavy Vegetable, etc.)

Interpol - [I]Antics[/I]

V/A - [I]Children of Nuggets Box Set[/I]

I thought nothing could ever live up to the original [I]Nuggets[/I] box set, but this sure comes close. Some amazing stuff by bands like the Lyres and Dream Syndicate.

those TMV tracks that leaked.

the album is going to be so good.

Half-Handed Cloud
Johnny Cash
Clutch
Genghis Tron
Kayo Dot
Calexico (might see them in a couple days, yay)

I'm in Melbourne and have bought a lot of cds:

Joy Division - [i]Closer[/i]
The Cure - [i]Boys Don't Cry[/i]
Radiohead - [i]Amnesiac[/i]
Queen - [i]A Night at the Opera[/i]
Bob Dylan - [i]Blonde on Blonde[/i]
Six Organs of Admittance - [i]School of the Flower[/i]
Calexico - [i]Feast of Wire[/i]

I'm trying to decide what else to buy. There's a lot of good record stores down here.

Butthole Surfers

It's amazing that the same band can make songs as poppy and brilliantly catchy as Ah Ha, Pepper or TV Star and make songs as abrasive and brilliantly disjointed as 22 Going on 23, Graveyard or The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave.

1 Johnny Cash 38
2 The Bronx 37
3 Girl Talk 29
4 Gospel 28
5 The Game 19
6 Cursive 18
7 Les Savy Fav 15
8 The Dismemberment Plan 14
8 The Zombies 14
8 Gnarls Barkley 14

scarface- the diary

no tears

CLASSIC

The Drones - [I]Here Come The Lies[/I] (just dawned on me how brilliantly noisy and fiery this record is)
The Dead C (selected songs)
Proof - "Kurt Kobain" (very very cool song).

The Day They Shot A Hole In The Jesus Egg - The Flaming Lips

So very good. I love their cover of What A Wonderful World

I think it's a little weird that the first song off the new TMV album is (allegedly) gonna be called "A Vicarious Atonement" when the new Tool album opened up with "Vicarious."

And both songs are/will be about seven minutes long :eek:

Not that it has anything to do with how it will sound (haven't listened to them yet, trying to wait just a bit). It's just a bizarre coincidence.

1 Meat Puppets 40
2 New Bomb Turks 21
2 Mischief Brew 21
4 The Clash 19
5 Operation Ivy 17
5 Rock 'n' Roll Soldiers 17
7 Minutemen 16
8 The Velvet Underground 14
8 The Jesus Lizard 14
10 Violent Femmes 12

Right now I'm also really enjoying The Devil Dogs - [I]30 Sizzling Slabs[/I].

Superpitcher - [i]Today[/i]
Claro Intelecto - [i]Neurofibro[/i]

you hear the new TMV tracks?

they're tight.

I Would Set Myself On Fire For You - [I]Believes in Patterns[/I]

Why have people getting so excited over this? This is really really pretentious, and whats more it can't even pull it off due to the mediocrity being blasted into our ears. FAIL.

Triosk - The Headlight Serenades
Raccoo-oo-oon - The Cave Of Spirits Forever
Something For Kate - Echolalia

Yeah, I noticed that too.

This week has been all about Giant Sand (mostly [I]Chore of Enchantment[/I] and [I]Is All Over the Map[/I]) and the Feelies (all of their albums) for me. They have nothing in common besides awesomeness.

Is the cool thing to post your last.fm stats? I wanna be cool:

Cat Power 24
Tindersticks 18
Radio Birdman 18
Six Organs of Admittance 12
My Bloody Valentine 11
Françoise Hardy 11
The Hold Steady 10
The Smiths 9
Lou Reed 8

Black Flag - First Four Years
Les Savy Fav - 3/5
90 Day Men - Panda Park

THe call at the start of that was made by a woman who always rings up that radio station telling lies.
