can people in this country please stop being obsessed with class?
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.
nah
it was originally released august 2003, then rereleased early 2004.
atlas sound is definitely on spotify as well
nice list!
i didn't even know he was touring over here
saw him at SXSW, put on a really interesting and inventive solo show.
i saw Sisters and Grooms
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.
ON THE ITCHY AND SCRATCHY CD ROM,
IS THERE A WAY TO GET OUT OF THE DUNGEON WITHOUT USING THE WIZARD KEY?
surely
the decade starts in 2011?
being hit with a bottle isn't nice
but boy does that guy from Black Lips come across as a total penis.
there've been loads of threads on the music board about them
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.
lol @ eazmag
FIGHT THE POWER!
"The only thing we're currently certain of is that Kurt Cobain is indeed dead"
not true - we also know that Everett True knew him!!!!!!
yeah
they said this after Hail to the Thief as well
ace
did we ever get one of these for june?
yay
best weekend i've had all year :)
this is actually the second totally wtf fiery furnaces story this week
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.
i'm going to pretend that
the names of both those festivals are typos.
pfffft
jetplane landing once did a longer tour than that of just the UK and it was in a shorter time
;o)
RT Shops
even have their own label these days. Own Records or something? there's a new Vivian Girls 7" out on it.
(b) Robert Wadlow
YEAH
"i have all six of your albums!"
"that was a thousand years ago! now we have eight."
i just got excited because i didn't realise it was out next week and went to amazon to treat myself to a copy
but they say it's not out until july 6th. BOOOOOOOO.
this is a top interview
<3 falco
oh, wow
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.
i was under the impression that kim gordon has been playing guitar heavily in SY
since about the time of Washing Machine.
hooray for the spotify links!
actually super useful.
also, the Isis one is there as well :)
i think Camden is involved in some kind of Lost-style time skips
and that festival is actually from 2002.
QUICK SOMEONE RESET THE FROZEN DONKEY WHEEL
i don't think it's you lucy,
it's the way the site is displaying them.
why does this make the images bigger?
it makes them look kinda rubbish. compare:

bruuuuuuuutal
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
"It's meant to be a first listen, not a review. These sterile listening parties don't give you time to explore the innards of each track. In depth analysis comes later."
unless it's a thrash hits review :D
hooray
nice piece.
what is there to fight though?
surely the only platform to fight on is that the kid didn't do it, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Ms Bea's ftw
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.
Re: Towering Above The Rest
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.
hasn't done much for me so far
need to listen to it more though.
really looking forward to the new Sunset Rubdown LP though!
this record
is absolutely wonderful.
i saw Twist at Bedford Esquires sometime in 2001
they were great. wish i had the compilation of their FP singles!
"Going by his normal output speed, would anyone notice the difference?"
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 ;)
