    is that arm pit hair? if yes, then i have not vomited in my mouth for nothing.

  • Been looking all over for it to no avail. Stress wasn't an easy album to find either.


    Also, google blog search. Third link.

    Yeah, I don't have an account to either of those, but I've heard they're really great sites for music. Do you mean you could send an invite?

    And thanks eagleheartt, I'll do that.

    Medicine - Shot Forth Self Living



  • Life Without Buildings- Any Other City



    Working for a Nuclear Free City- Businessmen & Ghosts

    That was then, this is dumb.
  • Scarce – Red EP

    This is the only image of the record anywhere on the internet, which is sad. I got into this band years ago, on a recommendation from Everett True, who was to us what Lester Bangs was to you. The record is a fucking masterpiece. The closest thing I’d compare their sound to would be the Replacements, but Scarce were a different beast altogether. The band never reached their full potential, and the lead singer Chick Graning suffered a brain hemorrhage in around 1995 and was never really the same again.







    Scott 4 – Works Project LP

    More memory lane. I love this band, and this record was sort of an alt-country tribute to Kraftwerk, but none of it's as bad as that suggests. Not really selling it to anyone, but you probably couldn’t find it anyhoo.

    Are you just saying this out of spite? Or is it really that bad?

    Dude, you're really breaking my heart here.

  • I was only kidding! I don't do spite! Oh god, I had a few beers, and it seemed funny at the time. Admittedly that was 3 minutes ago.

    Nah, I don't have any invites available. I meant the album.

    PM me your email, I've got waffles invites. It might be a while until I catch the site when invites are open though.

  • Invites are open now

    That was then, this is dumb.

  • summer of '98 by all girl summer fun band.

    cute, twee girl band. kathy foster from the thermals is(was?) in the band.

    edit: i just realize that the reason i find them so appealing is because they are a twee female equivalent of jonathan richman & the modern lovers.

    love, music, wine and revolution

    ...and put me on the slow bus yet again. =/

    Then again, I was already a little touchy earlier today since I was thrust into a completely foreign environment. Which may very well become my home for four years come August.

    (Still, glad to hear that you weren't serious. You've got a decidedly hyperbolic sense of sarcasm...this could really work to your advantage.)



  • We've missed you Robert, <3

  • Thanks, this would have passed me completely by. Any good?

  • Hell yes, it's good.

  • On first listen I love it...

    NB to frequency regarding our oddly prescient argument: this one actually is about Grant's death.

    Wye Oak—If Children



    Got this on a total whim download, which I don't usually have much luck with, but I love this. It's lovely, calming, autumnal pop-folk that feels familiar (in a good way) even when you first listen to it. Think Midlake + Wilco with mostly female vocals, although there is a male singer as well.

    Although this is only the second record from 2008 that I've heard after Trouble In Dreams, if I keep finding albums like this, it'll be a very good year indeed. Oh, and here's the link if you want it.

    I feel relaxed, while listening to this. Also covers are sexy. No, that's not it. Let's just stick with the relaxation thing :)

  • I know it's very much been done to death in films, but I love his Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten. I think it was in the plane crash scene in Fearless. And yes, I'm a philistine.

    Also, am in the middle of downloading Future Pilot Aka's Secrets from the Clockhouse

  • Jean-Paul Bourelly Boom Bop

    because I've been listening lately to a lot of the Hendrix-era & post-Hendrix jazz/blues/funk guitarists (Bourelly, Vernon Reid, James Blood Ulmer, Bern Nix, Pete Cosey, Sonny Sharrock, Eddie Hazel) to see where they've taken the idiom.

    Bourelly is probably the least known of that grouping--though all would qualify as lesser known in the pop pantheon. Vernon Reid, Eddie Hazel, Sonny Sharrock should all be household names for some of their most popular associations (Living Colour, Funkadelic, Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast, respectively), but sadly aren't. At least not in most homes.

    Bourelly is criminally underexposed in the land of his birth, the U.S. of A. Years ago, he settled in Germany, and Europeans can see him on tour frequently. If he's appearinng near you and you like free form funk, do not miss him.




    post script: 2nd'd and 3rd'd on Arvo Part. The stark, serene auralscapes are beautiful. I, too, am a sucker for Cantus, though I don't have a film association.

  • I love Eddie Hazel. I learned how to play that whole Maggotbrain solo when I was younger. I still haven't listened to Games, Dames and Guitar Thangs properly, but will soon.


  • Diamanda Galás - Plague Mass

    I liked this on first listen (though I thought it was way too weird), but I gave this a second spin today and the difference was abysmal. It tore my mind into little pieces and rearranged them. One of the most intense listening experiences I've ever had.

    That's impressive. I know very little about playing the guitar. Is it as intense as it sounds on record?
