Amy Millan's solo cd has leaked.

ok, gareth or anyone with oink, please upload the album from The Upper Room called "Other People's Problems." it's leaked, and every time i find someone on the bird with it, they disappear.

i'm sure it's spectacular shit, but i have to hear it anyway.

eternally grateful,
LBJ

edit: feel free to PM if you'd prefer.

Anyone have a copy of the new Amy Millan album that they're willing to upload? I'm expecting it to be fairly great. The songs she sings in Stars tend to be the best, just because of her voice.

Just piping in.' I think the beirut record is pretty good, too.

Agreed. It's pretty much all i've been listening to since i downloaded it. So thank you to whomever placed it.

Don't know if you have it already, but the new Nouvelle Vague has leaked.

I got it from a blog. so it's not really my upload.
the password is bringmetheheads

I agree with everyone who's digging that Beirut disc. I've been listening to that and the Pipettes all weekend. Super stuff.

Yeah Pipettes are pretty darn good too. And thanks, Clemsy. i'm really excited about this.

ok, i finally got this and wow is it terrible. they supposedly have a guitar player, but you wouldn't know from the way this is recorded...

Damn, that's a disappointment.

I'm stupid. Although I posted the link to the Beirut album I forgot to download it myself. now its expired

if anyone ups it for anyone else could you post the link here please?

Hi everyone, here's the Amy Millan's album:

Thanks for the Amy Millan. Filefactory makes you jump through hoops just to get at anything but this one is worth it. Thanks again.

Ok so let's try this one with megaupload, it's the new Lambchop's album:

This is going to sound weird, but has the new Dixie Chicks leaked yet?

I need it -- not for me, but I need it.

Riiiiiiiiiiight... it's for a friend, of course....

Get off my shit homey -- just give me my Chicks and nobody will get hurt.

Well regardless, your "friend" is probably on his or her own with this one...

that made me think of the Chixie Dicks

So, I'm really digging the new Amy Millan album, much thanks for uploading it. It has quite an alt-country type feel, which I wasn't expecting, but it's very nice overall. It could easily be amongst my top albums of the year.

i haven't heard the whole thing yet, but what i have heard is quite unexpected when you consider Stars...Unexpected in a good way, though. i'm enjoying the album very much...And i guess it isn't too unexpected...i mean, compare Feist's solo work with the stuff she does for BSS...waaaaaaay different.

I think BSS has a secret love for country. Jason Collett's solo album was pretty country-ish too...

Yeah, I suppose they all do, though they do keep some similarities to their sounds on BSS. For instance, on the Amy Millan disk, I'd say Skinny Boy isn't too far from some Stars stuff. Really, I think the biggest change for a solo artist these days that I can think of is Neko Case and the New Pornographers. Completely different. Still great though.

could someone throw up a y'all send the thing of the new Amy Milan? the site used above doesn't work for me

Mine is dl'ng right now -- that site works (trust me, I didn't think it did), but it's a clusterfuck trying to get to where you need to be. I'd explain it if I knew how I did it.

every time i got the link i got a "URL not found" error :-/

I'm upping it now.

Edit: Amy

it seems she kind of went the way neko case and jenny lewis did when they put out a solo album, except not AS country. i was hoping for something stars-ish but this isn't bad.

Well, I guess I'll be the one to disagree, but I listened to the Amy Millan disc once and heard nothing that made me want to listen again. Female alt-country songstresses are a dime a dozen up here in Canada and I can do without them all.

Really? I loves me some female alt-country songstressessess. Any recommendations from up nort?

Sadly this is close to my view, although I'll probably give it a few more spins. It's a nice listen, and Amy has the honeyed voice to pull this sort of thing off, and I'm sure some of the No Depression crowd will eat it up. But there's very little on this album musically or lyrically to distinguish it from a Kathleen Edwards or Sarah Harmer album. I do like "Headsfull" and "Wayward and Parliament" though, mostly because they're the ones that deviate from alt country template the most.

i like the album quite a bit so far...

does it compare to Neko? hell no, but it's not what i expected from Amy, and that's a good thing

Me, too, but for my wife. Was hoping to give it to her for Mother's Day yesterday, and instead I had to give her jack squat!

Hi, anyone interrested by the new Bardo pond's album ?

Oook, i really really like this album so here it is ,Bardo pond "ticket crystals":

Well, Bobzilla mentioned kathleen Edwards and Sarah Harmer. Oh Susanna is another one who comes to mind. Kate Maki, Kate Fenner and Casey Comeau are some others. I try to block them all out, but if I think of more I'll let you know.

fucking awesome, many thanks

I don't know if the new Mason Jennings album Boneclouds has been leaked yet,
but it comes out tomorrow, so you better get it so you can quick form an opinion before all the reviews come out and make up your mind for you.

Shepard Fairy did the art work. (obey giant) Despite the horribly cheesy song titles, its pretty good so far!

Fucking awesome indeed. Much thanks and praise to you. i've been meaning to look for this.

Yeah, the gf wants it.

I thought I'd get it for her as a "surprise." Make it sound like I busted my ass on the internet to get it...

does this mean the new Keane might not a repeat of the first album?

could be cool I guess. And the other song I heard a while back had a lot of guitar, so we'll see.

Welcome!

wasn't guitar. it was keyboard with effect pedals.

well there ya go. it's an ok song, but I liked the one I uped better.

I'm interested to see what Rubin did with the Dixie Chicks. It at least has the potential to be interesting.
