Who? Kim? Gordon? Moore?

I think so.

She sings nicely on "Reena", though.

Chavez - [i]Ride the Fader[/i]

this is so amazing.

i cannot illustrate enough how much i love annuals

[QUOTE=bleep_bloop;13954927]i cannot illustrate enough how much i love annuals[/QUOTE]

never heard of them. what are they like?

hmm theyre hard to explain
theyre a pop band but they often use multiple drumsets/drums so they have a good sense of percussion. they kind of remind me of architecture in helsinki in terms of their melodies and the various instrumentation they use.

Old Time Relijon


James Chance and the Contortions meets Captain Beefheart.

I listened to [I]Loveless[/I] again today. It's still good.

Anyone like Beirut?

Beirut is really nice music.

I just LOVE [I]Gulag Orkestar[/I]. My favourites are "Prenzlauerberg", "Postcards From Italy", and "Mount Wroclai (Idle Days)".

yeah, Beirut rulez. I want to get the Lon Gisland EP, but I dunno if its worth it?

today:
Bat For Lashes
CocoRosie - [i]La Maison[/i] and [i]Noah's Ark[/i]
Avey Tare & Panda Bear - [i]Spirit They've Gone...[/i] - way better than nois-y [i]Danse Manatee/Here Comes the Indian[/i] Animal Collective

It's good, but not great.

I have $4.39 in iTunes store credit, and I want to use it exactly. What EP should I get?

Today:

Mission of Burma - [I]Vs.[/I]
The Constantines - [I]Tournament of Hearts[/I]
Jim O'Rourke - [I]Eureka[/I]

I'm now listening to the free jazz album O'Rourke released with a Japanese jazz artist named Akira Sakata. It's pretty accessible for free jazz I guess, or maybe I just like Jim's guitar playing.

American Football - [I]American Football[/I]

So gorgeous.

A Wilhelm Scream - [I]Ruiner[/I]

[I]"The King Is Dead"[/I] is all sorts of awesome.

And for today it was...

The Beach Boys - [i]Pet Sounds[/i]
Pixies - [i]Doolitte[/i]
Earth - [i]Earth 2[/i]
Boris - [i]Pink[/i]

Chapterhouse - [I]Whirlpool[/I]

Well obviously.

Tommy Guerro - A Little Bit of Somethin'

[i]He may have first come to light as a cult figure in the 80's skateboarding scene, but when he gave up skating to concentrate on music, this was to be a decision that would enable him to produce some wonderfully beautiful Latin (Puerto Rican) referencing music, that uses the elements of his skate-punk pass, to produce an album of delicate Indie Rock, a dash of Post-rock & ever so slight trances of Experimental rock, to deliver a subtle album of magpie influences that features languid grooves, Latin music, Acoustic guitar, electronica-styled beats, "Tortoise" style Post-rock experimentation, with the odd usage of jazz, and even samba are all thrown into a theoretical musical cooking pot, and emerged as an album bristling with downtempo grooves.

Its an album that blends influences from all kinds of unexpected, offbeat places and tires that reinterpret them with a decidedly stripped-down feel. There are no heavy guitar or Big beat diversions here, its resolutely a low-key, Lo-fi feel, that feels remarkably personal, as opposed to being something heavily produced that lacks that intimate connection, and the fact that the majority of the musicians playing the instruments here, are Friends of Tommy Guerrero emphasises that DIY feel.
[/i]

So its like skateboard-latin-punk?

It's hard to explain, but it rules.

[QUOTE=Zmev;13958150]Well obviously.[/QUOTE]

Well, yeah.

I heard about it a couple of months ago on this forum and I love it.

I just reviewed it, actually.

Guerrero's latest is alright. It's just sort of jazzy instrumental music as far as I can tell.

In fact it's sort of like muzak now that I think about it. Hmm...

Semifinalists - Semifinalists

M. Ward kicked total *** last night. He f[I]u[/I]cking tears it up on guitar.

[QUOTE=Eliminator;13958865]eureka is such a good album[/QUOTE]

His pop phase ([I]Eureka[/I], [I]Insignificance[/I], [I]Halfway to a Threeway[/I], the Loose Fur albums) is like the best thing ever.

I'm sold. To soulseek!

Disco Inferno - 5 EPs
Pere Ubu - Dub Housing

deus - Ideal Crash
matsushita electric cassette - this is what happens when you fight a stranger in the alps

the later is like Lighting Bolt discovering a drum machine and a keyboard. Some songs are pretty good but others are just to noisy.

[QUOTE=br3ad_man;13959294]M. Ward kicked total *** last night. He f[I]u[/I]cking tears it up on guitar.[/QUOTE]

good thing i told you to go see him :)

Stooges - [I]Funhouse[/I]
Minutemen - [I]Double Nickels on the Dime[/I]
VU - [I]White Light/White Heat[/I]

Ryan Adams - Cold Roses
Neil Young - Zuma
Elliott Smith - xo

John Coltrane - [I]The Ultimate Blue Train[/I]

Again.

Those fine african-american gentlemen make good jazz noises.

MX-80 Sound - big Hits EP
Luminescent Orchestrii - Too Hot To Sleep

That and the one with Morissey on the title are the only songs I liked on that album. Everything else is meh

Yeah pretty much. And the stuff he did with Sonic Youth and Wilco are excellent. But I guess everyone already knows that.



Wilco - [I]A Ghost is Born[/I]

Lacking in many ways, although I find "At Least That's What You Said" and "Theologians" to be real keepers.

[quote=pixiesfanyo;13960021]good thing i told you to go see him :)[/quote]


Good thing. His guitarist was the coolest person ever.

Arcade Fire – Funeral.
Just really listening to this for the first time in a while. The first song is sick, but the rest of it doesn’t quite hold up. Still a really great album though.

"Crown of Love", "Wake Up", "Haiti" and "In the Backseat" are all as good, if not better, than that song.

Wake Up >

anyway, digging:

Butthole Surfers - Locust Abortion Technician
Butthole Surfers - Brown Reason to Live
Butthole Surfers - Electriclarryland

Yeah, they're one of the best ever.
