it's boring.

also, music: not srs bsnss.

also, there's ALWAYS been a gulf between what critics like and what the public buys. that would be the difference between someone who is obsessed with music enough to write about it and someone who likes the odd bit, which is a pretty apt description of most people.

it was originally released august 2003, then rereleased early 2004.

nice list!

saw him at SXSW, put on a really interesting and inventive solo show.

at a couple of day shows. they were both GREAT.

also caught Dum Dum Girls at the Sub Pop showcase earlier on Saturday, very good as well.

IS THERE A WAY TO GET OUT OF THE DUNGEON WITHOUT USING THE WIZARD KEY?

the decade starts in 2011?

but boy does that guy from Black Lips come across as a total penis.

and they always end up in arguments.

essentially the crux is that their sloppiness really winds a lot of people up, as does the fact that they're getting loads of attention out of this current no fi/DIY london SCENE, much more than a lot of their peers who aren't so intentionally sloppy. your mileage may vary with this but a lot of people who feel this way tend to see it as being because they're HOT GIRLS and thus marketable.

i've seen them live a bunch of times, enjoyed them roughly half of this bunch, and have yet to hear this album. it'll probably be bad but that's what i'm expecting and i'm not sure i'd like to it with other preconceptions, so i'll probably enjoy it.

FIGHT THE POWER!

not true - we also know that Everett True knew him!!!!!!

they said this after Hail to the Thief as well

;)

did we ever get one of these for june?

best weekend i've had all year :)

there was one on Pitchfork about how they're both going to release solo-cover versions of their new album.

i think they're taking the piss a little bit.

the names of both those festivals are typos.

jetplane landing once did a longer tour than that of just the UK and it was in a shorter time

;o)

even have their own label these days. Own Records or something? there's a new Vivian Girls 7" out on it.

YEAH

"that was a thousand years ago! now we have eight."

but they say it's not out until july 6th. BOOOOOOOO.

i only got I Can Hear The Heart... on CD recently, and while I realised the Matador catalogue included was fake, I had no idea it was exclusive to that CD and part of the artwork. Neat.

best feud ever?

since about the time of Washing Machine.

actually super useful.

also, the Isis one is there as well :)

and that festival is actually from 2002.

QUICK SOMEONE RESET THE FROZEN DONKEY WHEEL

it's the way the site is displaying them.

it makes them look kinda rubbish. compare:

probably my favourite thing of your's i've read dom. makes me want to listen to it. why isn't it on spotify? BOO

unless it's a thrash hits review :D

nice piece.

surely the only platform to fight on is that the kid didn't do it, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

sadly only managed to catch a few things up there but the Japanther set I did see was insane. next year i might just forget about buying a SXSW pass and hang out up there all the time.

i've never heard of this, and i consider myself a pretty hardcore fan.

i'm looking forward to picking these up, anyway. i have some of the singles but not all, and there's not really a better 90s b-sides band, is there?

and i agree with mr hawkins re: the major label issue. radiohead got a lot of being on EMI, which they seem super keen to downplay now.

need to listen to it more though.

really looking forward to the new Sunset Rubdown LP though!

is absolutely wonderful.

they were great. wish i had the compilation of their FP singles!

since 2005 he's released three full lengths, a remix album, a live DVD and the Ghosts double album. i'd say that's pretty good ;)
