Thanks! This sounds great so far.

Space City kinda reminds me of Beck's Sea Change some too, just realized my 2nd time through. like i said, not a bad song, just a poor tracklist placing.

yeah well I would have thought Goodbye would be the closer on the record
blame whoever decided on the sequencing

If anything, "Space City" signals a decided shift in mood during the last 15 minutes...it gets really sombre after the first eight tracks.

This thing is already a Best of the Year contender. Fantastic.

yep, agreed, def one of, if not my fave, so far after only 3 listens (i know i know, early, but whatever ). if Space City and it's placement is the albums only misstep, not too freakin' shabby.

I am a very happy camper that the new DBT and G-daddy are great. Two of my fave bands.

Can the Lips match them?

Guide Down Denied is fucking sweetness

i can't even bring myself to D/L the Grandaddy.

yeah, sorry they're not an up and coming British post-punk band.

PLEASE repost the new DBT, I am achin' for it. I don't know what I have that anyone wants, but I will post it!

fixed.

p.s. - i like grandaddy. i just have a real bad feeling about this one.

I am forever in debt.

It's awesome.

Pretty good. A bit of a mess. Great songs in places, but Sumday was more consistently great.

if it was really awesome wouldn't you want to promote it?

No one ever accused Grandaddy of being smart outside the music realm.




Fambly Cat uses Sumday to wipe it's bum.

I noticed in the initial post that the new South disc leaked... anyone check that out yet?

If so, can someone post a YSI link? I really liked their last album and am anxious to hear this one. Thanks.

can post a YSI tomorrow. it's pretty good, def not as good as With The Tides tho.

Thanks a lot, bud.

I should probably give With the Tides another listen first... it's been ages. Will toss that in my car tomorrow.

After a night of working out and doing some paper writing, I have come to the conclussions...

~~The new Grandaddy is overall pretty good. Some of the instrumental spots are really really killed ("Skateboarding..." and "What Happened?" in particular). Also, the transitions between a few of the tracks was pretty solid. I definitely like what I hear. Is it better than "Sopthware"? I don't think so (at least as of now), but oveall, I feel "Fambly Cat" is really a solid disc. I can see myself getting into this alot more come summertime. It really has that summery feel to it at times.

~~The first half of the new Drive By Truckers is also really solid. I was typing a paper and got through the first half and really really dug what I'd heard. I really am looking forward to hearing the rest tonight.

If you mess with the tracklisting on the new South its amazing, look back a few pages and find my tracklisting for this album and then the album will sound WAY better. I hated it at first, now I think its one of my favs this year.

The art for Grandaddy sucks.

That's the real artwork?

It can't be, Jesus Christ...looks like it's photoshopped to hell.

Usually their artwork is fantastic.

Not even, looks MS Painted.

yeah, uh, thanks for that. funny.

fake

That's hilarious! I hope it's real. I'll buy it on vinyl if it is.

Ha, you got it. I made it in paint as a joke. Sorry!

There is a lot of bad cover art out there these days so you can never be sure.

link?

Calexico - Garden Ruin

hxxp://download.yousendit.com/CB216A7C0FEA5736

fabulous through track 3

Eww. People can't even say "please" anymore.

I don't think that Calexico album has even leaked yet. Although, we know if anyone would have it, solace would.

Edit: Ha!

Wait, is this it or not?

is this what? it's the new Calexico record

Alright, I was confused by some people's posts. Look at me! Gullable!

i'm gonna declare this right now, after just finishing my first full listen to Garden Ruin

the final track, All Systems Red, may very well be Calexico's best track ever, holy fuck.... i need a cigarette!

reminds me of The Frames, they have a lot of those tracks that start out super slow then build to this insane ending, that and they've toured w/ each other before, so prolly not imagining things.

oh man....i'm glad i opened this thread today. i think i'm gonna leave work just to go home and d/l this. i'm not kidding. thanks solace, you made this guy's weekend.


of all the mu'fukkas....you the mu'fukkest.

i'm quite alright w/ the new lips not having leaked yet now. dbt, calexico, and grandaddy oughta tide me over for a few more weeks.

The more you ignore it, the closer it gets.

now lets not get crazy...

Yeah when is that one gonna leak. Wankers

abso-fucking-lutely. great cd, and that track is absolutely incredible.

hey guys what would you compare calexico to? (a lot of you know my taste in music)

also I think one song (or maybe the full album) of the new david gilmour is on OiNK (they just banned me so I am OiNKless)

and solace do you still think there's a chance of you getting the lips this weekend?


yeah!

shimmy, that kid that was supposed to get his promo hasn't posted since then, so not sure.

as for Calexico... hard to say... they're one band that is awfully hard to label

at their basic roots they are rock, but definitely a Mexicana flavor (obvs). some of it is even mariachi. this new one is much less of that though, more rock/country/folk than usual.

Yeah, I'd say the new Calexico is the most straight-forward rock record they've done. Which is fine; cos it's still great.
