I'm wondering why Pitchfork has such a big boner for it. Halfway through it I got really bored, though I thought "Lullabye" was a terrific song. Maybe it's a grower.[/QUOTE]

They probably rated it high, but I really like it too. Especially good as relaxing, evening music. Which I've been saying for a minute now, but nobody listens to me. :angry:

Beat Happening right now. Going to a afternooner concert, seemed like the right choice. I hope they chart on the 85-94 lister.

The number of "ooooohh"s and "aaaaaahh"s kind of bother me too, that's why. But that was just my first time listening to the whole thing.

Beat Happening - [i]Jamboree[/i]
The Beatles - [i]Revolver[/i]
and
I dusted off [i]White Pony[/i] (due to the thread), which has been quite a few years. It's not particularly good (but better than contemporaries of the time). At least I have some memories attached to a song here and there.

Seeing Band of Horses, Chad VanGaalen, and the Metal Hearts tonight. The first is good, second is better, and I don't know the third. Should be mega.

The Feelies - [I]Only Life[/I]

wish this could be as good as [I]Crazy Rhythms[/I]. not a bad album unless it's put up against the debut.

Dukes of Hillsborough
Astrid Oto
Black Cougar Shock Unit

the Of Montreal leak is a lot of fun.

Minor Threat - Complete Discography
Black Flag - Damaged

Reacquainting myself with the classics.

Okay guys, the joke's over. You can all stop pretending to like The Velvet Underground now. "White Light/White Heat" is pretty much the worst thing ever.

Blaspheme!

YDLoad's borther is fagt

"Venus in Furs" is a fantastic song, end of story.

can't think of anything right now but if i do i'll let you know.

[QUOTE=Dog]what's your email?[/QUOTE]
thank you very much. downloading now. again, just let me know if there is anything you're looking for, i may be able to send it if i have it.

I can definitely see myself getting sick of the new Of Montreal, but the novelty of it right now is pretty off the charts. Very solid. Certainly way better than Sunlandic, which was kinda awful. He does his electro-funk stuff well, except for the Shuggie whatever. That ones just kinda messy.

ATM, trying to do the list. Pretty much too difficult. Currently listening to some borderline hip-hop albums.

Favorite band of all time, watch it son.

As stated earlier, I saw Band of Horses/Chad VanGaalen/Metals Hearts this evening.

Metal Hearts are pretty weak. I had never listened to them before and I was thoroughly unimpressed by their dull Appleseed Cast riffing. They had a sax for a few songs though so they didn't completely blow.

Chad VanGaalen ruled the f[SIZE="2"]u[/SIZE]cking night. It was a one-man band type of thing. He played this awesome distorted Howe Gelb acoustic guitar, double harmonica rack, a bass drum, a pedalled snare drum, and a hi-hat with a tambourine most of the show. His voice is impeccable live and he's a pretty funny guy in between songs. He pulled out a recorder and dedicated a little instrumental to "all the dead racoons we've passed on the roads" and then did an electronic instrumental with a microKorg before going back to the Neil Young stuff. I loved the dude, but I sadly didn't get to meet him.

Band of Horses put on a good show, but that doesn't make their material any less mediocre. I like them enough, but they played the same set as when I saw them in June plus a few random covers (David Allen Coe, New Year, and ELO). I just don't get the hype for these guys.

That's the curse of the Feelies. No matter what, it just can't hold up with [I]Crazy Rhythms[/I].

I still listen to their full catalog pretty often, though.

yeah, WAYYY better than Sunlandic Twins. my main complaint is how "gay" it sounds. i don't mean that in a homophobic way. i mean that it literally makes me picture a guy in shiny pink clothes dancing in front of a big screen with bubbles on it and shaking his booty, at some points of the album. still good though.

[QUOTE=sr800bkBassist]i mean that it literally makes me picture a guy in shiny pink clothes dancing in front of a big screen with bubbles on it and shaking his booty[/QUOTE]

From the pictures I've seen, I'm pretty sure you just described their live show since [I]Satanic[/I].

[QUOTE=Robert Crumb]From the pictures I've seen, I'm pretty sure you just described their live show since [I]Satanic[/I].[/QUOTE]
pretty much. i saw them in January, and Kevin came on stage in a wedding dress. and then he took it off and he was wearing a silver vest with no shirt underneath, and tight brightly colored pants (can't remember the color, i think neon orange) and he also wore a choker and glitter makeup. still a fun show though. so much crowd energy, and they're very solid, except it became evident that they use LOTS of autotune on the vocals on their CDs, because live, Kevin could hardly hit a single note.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]Justin Timberlake - [I]FutureSex/LoveSound[/I]

the problem with liking this album is that everyone's gonna think I only like it because of the ironic hipster indie novelty value. However, these songs really are catchy. A poor man's Prince is good enough for me.[/QUOTE]
well of course anyone who likes something for the purpose of irony would try to justify themselves by saying that.

you win.

that album really is good, pop record of the year.
although what's up with the UK version being completely different? whatever.

also:

Cat Power - You Are Free
Clint Mansell - Requiem For A Dream OST
Merzbow - Merzbeat

Nick Cave's Murder Ballads is fairly awesome. Check out my review :P

That it is. Reading your review.

"Could've Moved Mountains" by A Silver Mount Zion is one of the most amazing pieces of music ever. This song is incredible.

The Doors - [i]The Doors[/i]
Finishing up some work for this week, then I plan on watching [i]Seven Samurai[/i]

Sunny Day Real Estate - How It Feels To Be Something On

This album makes me aroused.

MF Doom - Mmm..Food

Classic.

Pierre Bastien - [I]Mecanoid[/I]

Kind of like an electronica or ambient Tom Waits with no vocals. Really weird and dreamy but relaxing.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]MF Doom - Mmm..Food

Classic.[/QUOTE]See avatar :cool:

Streetlight Manifesto - [I]Everything Goes Numb[/I]

Amazing.

Deftones - [I]White Pony[/I]
Isis - [I]The Absence of Truth[/I]
Pixies -[I] Bassanova[/I]

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]Joanna Newsom - [I]The Milk-Eyed Mender[/I]

her voice is still way too bizarre, otherwise I would like this a lot more. My band covers "Peach Plum Pear" but it's totally Mission of Burma-esque. Good stuff.[/QUOTE]That straight out of Annie the musical kind of quality to her voice is a bit more subdued on [i]Ys[/i], which greatly deserves a download.
