this is great

before it was taken down.

On first listen, i quite liked it, but it is very much not a Sparklehorse record. There are certainly elements of Sparklehorse, but unfortunately Linkous hardly sings at all (mainly guest vocalists). It's a very produced, big sounding album that i'll need a few more listens to really digest.

massive WTF

Nice surprise, this band get so little recognition so hopefully some people will explore a little further having read this article.

I don't think they really hit their stride until All Harm, but that and Offshore are two of my favourite albums of the last 5 years or so. Really looking forward to what they do next.

there's actually a band called LMFAO?

although prefer his previous album, The English Cold.

You've lost the news!

Transparent Things is one of my favourite albums of the last few years. In fact, i'm going to listen to right NOW.

Pretty much a carbon-copy of Loveless-era MBV. Whether this is a good thing is a matter of opinion, but i think they do a good impression.

Time to call the clique-police.

Looking forward to this record.

I can understand it for Take That, but the Spice Girls? Not the most endearing bunch , are they?

Excellent article too.

Too easy.

But yeah, her solo album is really good. Really grown on me recently after being initially a bit non-plussed by it. Might try and make the Brighton show.

"Thom Yorke responsible for 2000 job losses".

It represents the number of years since Cat Power made a decent record. Amirite?

and this is a really good album - one of my many discoveries on Epitonic.com, back in the day.

And yeah, Past All Concerns is a great song, although it does totally rip off a Red House Painters track.

for the last decade*

But i've not really heard anything else. Has anyone heard the album? How does it hold up in comparison?
