Can't find it either. Anyone know anything? Kind of weird, the whole thing. RTCM leaked completely out of nowhere and since then I've heard nothing official about it.

Love the album though. Oh, and hi everyone.

how is the new Snow Patrol? If it's good, care to post it?

dissapointing compared to the last 2

few ok songs. it's watermarked so i'd rather not, but there's been a bunch of other rips of it the last month or two (it's out tomorrow)

wonder when the new xiu xiu will leak.

New Snow Patrol can be found here:

Isn't the release date on that in September? Have they even finished recording?

The album's done, mastered, and packaged. A-and I want it.

^^^Beware of a terrifying Jesus.

Oh god this will be amazing.


That's disappointing on the Snow Patrol. Still, thanks cdvaught. Good man, good man.


Edit: Oh god, this IS disappointing. Shit.

"Aliens" EP leaked, or is out in the UK maybe. Its robin and John from the Beta's and Lone Pigeon.
I will get this up soon. Really good stuff, nothing like steve's solo stuff which is more beta sounding.

Dear SOMB,

Oink has the new Sufjan Stevens. No word yet if it's a fake. That is all.

Your buddy,
Andrew

how's everyone like the new nouvelle vague? just leaked i think. their last album was actually pretty good.

Why do bands take so long to release when they have all their shit together?

Aliens - Alienoid Starmonica EP

I dont see the problem with the new Walkmen. It's not as good as "BnA" but it's pretty good. Alot of it sounds like a New Oreleans Shoegaze band covering a methed out Dylan, and that's good to me.

The new Walkmen is good it's just not as sad and drunken as the other two. Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me was really desperate and depressed and B+A started to rock a bit more but still kept those sad moments (like "Siobhan" or "No Christmas While I'm Talking") The new one just doesn't seem to have many of those moments, and when it does it just doesn't seem as profound. I don't know. That's just my initial impression.

most labels require at least a three month turn around from when final product (tapes/mastering/artwork) is in so they can make sure there are no problems with anything that may delay the release date they set for the distro's, etc. plus then they can properly work it to radio and press. and make sure the artist is totally sick of it by the time it comes out. which helps when they tour it for the next year. biz-ness.

And it is legit says Mr. Andyroo. I am nabbing it as we speak. There may be a y'all send the thing involved in the near future.

Well, I don't know that yet personally, but 552 people have snagged it already and there are no opposing comments posted to the torrent. I'd say it's a go.

I'll currently uping it. I'll let you know when

it's legit and pretty good so far

It's much more subtle and slower than Illinois but it's great, I love it!

New Voivod has leaked.

new Deftones single, Beware The Water

quality is tinny as it was from their myspace (they've since taken it down). new album comes out Sept 12th.
pretty sweet song imo, specially the end. some of the vocals on the chorus remind me of Sigur Ros, haha

didn't like their last record much at all myself...

Good god.

i don't think i'd agree that it's much slower than Illinois honestly...

Sufjan Stevens - The Avalanche (192kbps):

You're amazing!

giggity

I think this is a good first analysis of the album. I only listened to it once last night and my initial thought is that it's going to take a while to grow on me. Definitely not as sad and drunk as the other two. In fact, I only recently got the first one and I can see myself listening to that one a little more over the next little while than the new one. My initial impression, anyway.

Will you have my children?

About the new Walkmen album:

- There's a higher-quality version out there (230-240 kbps).
- Track 8 (apparently labeled "Tenleytown", after being mislabeled "This Job Is Killing Me") is just bad and doesn't suit The Walkmen.
- Track 2 ("Danny's At The Wedding") is OK, shouldn't have been put in the 2nd spot, though. I'd push it to near the end of the album. I wasn't impressed until "Good For You's Good For Me" (track 3) kicked in.
- Otherwise, great album.

Stupid question, maybe?

I downloaded "the avalanche" as a 103mb file called "the" with no extension.

How do I open this? I tried winzip, but...


thanks much.


EDIT: nevermind. used rar.

Sufjan Stevens sendspace link:

just when you thought you couldn't get enough of Chicago, you now have three more chocies to choose from!! Plus i have a techno remix of the song here, so hell, i could make a cd entirely of that damned song! Awesome!

Oh yeah, and this new Sufjan ain't bad. It's Sufjan. If you hated him before, this wont sway you to think differently, If you dug Illinois, youll probably dig this as well.

this isn't a new album right, just outtakes?

just outtakes

i wouldn't call it "outtakes" because outtakes makes you think that he missed the mark with these songs. And he didn't. i'm really digging this one, even the songs that AREN'T just re-done versions of "Chicago".

quick -- you better tell sufjan to take the word "outtakes" off of the cover.

Are you talking about these?

edit: dead links, sorry.

Yeah, it's all good. i've got a direct connection right to his headquarters. Like Kennedy with Khrushchev, like Batman and The Commisioner, it's Sufjan and me.

Thanks for the early Mother's Day present... best news of my life!

i'm always lurking around here... but i never post because i never have anything new.

but today i do!

the three new robert pollard side projects:

Does anybody have that Beirut record? That one song, "Postcards from Italy," is great.

What the fuck is this megaupload shit, and why do you guy use it?

Sorry, love you guys for posting, and I promise I'll contribute just as soon as I'm the first to stumble across something....but seriously, what's up with this megaupload site?

Well which site would you prefer people to use?

There are loads of different file sharing sites, therefore the best thing to do is experiment with them and see which one's best.
In my opinion there are far worst sites than megaupload as I have recently found out.

Filefactory is my least favorite.

Megaupload sounds like an anal sex reference.

Ooh baby, i'll megaupload you right now.

Megaupload frustrates me because I can never get it to work. Do you have to register to use it?

You don't have to register. Megaupload is pretty easy. There is a thing that pops up called "megaupload links" and it usually covers up where you need to click to download. All you need to do is close that pop up (upper right) and it should be fine.

try this instead (for the bob pollard albums)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NY4HKJVR

you have to wait for the countdown on the upper right side to finish, then a small window will open in front of it (there's an orange x to close it, click it). then you'll be able to click where the countdown text was to start the download.

i don't like megaupload myself, but i was given this link by someone else.

My only beef with megaupload is that it's a little slow at times, but the best part is that the links stay active a hell of alot longer.
