with John Paul Jones and Dave Grohl as guest players.

Eleanor is his sister. Gross!

but I think I'd be daunted if I ever got the chance to talk to him. Even if he instigated the conversation, I'd probably think I was intruding on him.

One thing I find a little odd is that he's commented on Daisy by saying their intention was to make a record they wanted to play live, but later he says they don't want to or have many intentions to tour and that they like recording.

That Dom, he just can't help himself. This sounds like fodder for an absolutely critical disaster anyway.

Well, not rubbish, she's just not top 12 material. Kim's definitely better.

Carrie Brownstein isn't just one of the top 12 female guitarists ever - she's probably the best guitarist ever.

Julian Casablancas is such a cool name to not have a solo career with it. Here's to hoping it's good!

I wonder if the music in this preview is actually what it'll sound like, or if it's just used for dramatic purposes. idk, who does?

LOL?

and I hope the Ross/Walker thing is Pinkerton/Shins-esque too. Ryan Ross is pretty cool. Oh well, the world turns.

It's such a good photo

Incredible. It isn't a re-hash of 1995, it's stuck in 1984!

Word-processor must've gone to shite.

Especially after reading the insights into the songs: they actually mean something more fascinating than "Uh, this is about a boy/girl I went out with who I broke up with later on".

but I will on 4 December, I guess.

as a "pop band"?

Albini doesn't even produce, just records songs as they are played, with the use of his preferred equipment set ups. He's not like most producers who polish turds with layers of guitars and keyboards and whatnot. The bands have got to supply the great songs, not leave it down to Albini.

I wonder how much more legendary you can get. Bowie?

Pretty fan-bloody-tastic live and stuff. Just wowonderful

awful, actually. I always thought Stephin Merritt inspired shoes would be more brogue-y and clunky.

I guess he must've had second thoughts about fancying himself as a record producer.

For shame, BO

I remember them saying something in an interview once that went along the lines of "Giving a song a title can change it's meaning. What if the Beatles called 'She loves you' something like 'Bag of fuck'?"

Shame they're...hiatusing? Yep.

i think it was salute your solution or something

just don't let edinburgh know, okay?

literally!

FUCKIN' YAS! etc.

after Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. I DON'T WANT THEM TO STOP.

I might go to this Trivium/Mastodon/Slayer show, but miss out the Trivium bit. Because they are massively shit.

cool

They might get a bit tedious for the duration of an entire album, but I always found the singles included in this to be pretty sterling stuff.

when you kill all the cunts who paid to see them

Bilinda Butcher looks absolutely stunning in that photograph. great work

greatest man who ever lived
