here you go man, it has about a 5 second silence now i think

(thanks for the new ETS solace, i'll let you know what i think soon, listening right now)

The drumming on this Explosions in the Sky album makes me smile.

Pssh.
5:55

You are officially my favorite dude.

I'd like a crudely made button that says "Oddestmoose Is My Dude."

I'd wear it.

I promise.

<3's to Some Girl.

Paves, don't fail me again.

Yup--I was at the 2nd show (el cielo) also the Fillmore show in 12.05 which I think was better than the album they recorded, but can't get the stupid flac files to behave like music.


ha ha, I'm prolly the only person here who'd have it much less admit to it, and I don't have it.

I have to join Paves in demanding whining for Black Elk. Where the hell is this album???

Yippee! Man Man and Explosions in the Sky. Thanks!

I probably should have inculeded the earlier quote that said "HOLY SHIT (scrambling to download eis).

But also... can't stand the vocals on explosions... god awful

ghostland observatory. where can i find this?

I really don't see the fascination with The Hold Steady. It's really overrated in my mind.
As for Explosions, it's amazing.


(F.Y.I. for those of you with indietorrents: today is leechfest...downloads lower your download amount, rather than increase it..thus the more you download the higher your ratio goes without any uploading needed!)

Solace, I f'ing LOVE you!

agreed.

I can't believe people are voting for this Hold Steady thing. heir lead singer sounds like the tone deaf brother of the dude from Counting Crows. This album is a lol-fest

well said

thanks for the heads up

If I had to vote again the Hold Steady would make my top 20. I didn't give them a fair shake.

I just don't get the ripping on Hold Steady vocals. He sounds like Phil Lynott and Bruce to me. That boozy hoarseness is perfect for that band. I'll take that all day over say, Dan Bejar's nasally whimpering or Spencer Krug's constant yowling. Having said all that, Boys and Girls disappointed me sorely--for reasons that have nothing to do with the vocals.

Alright, mentioned it in the albums thread, but my last two requests for the year are Ghostface and The Husbands. Thanks to everybody who helped me out by upping stuff. I'll try to return the favor sometime.

I agree- I'm digging the hell out of this.

ok, at first i thought you were joking, but now i'm not so sure...?

Anyone find the nenw Rosie Thomas with Sufjan album yet? I know it's out on some digital places...

Thanks for upping this.

I traded emails with the drummer (chris) from Explosions this morning. Nicest group of guys you'd ever come across.

what's he think about it leaking this early?

prolly can't be too surprised

They've accepted this part of the business a long time ago. They've even gone so far as to encourage people to record their concerts. I'd imagine they're profiting more from their movie soundtracks and television commercials than their actual recordings. They actually pride themselves more for their live shows than their records. Seeing that they're playing much larger venues this time around, this is surely their biggest tour ever. I can't wait.

kyle, as always, thank you! was getting excited for this release.

question though: I didn't see the Drams on your end of year list at all. Not even on the "honorable mention" section. Not a fan?

whalen.

hey Whalen... y'know? i was never the biggest fan of Slobberbone admittedly, so i didn't bother checking out The Drams too much. In fact i don't know if i even remembered they put out a record this year. I'll check it out though, thanks!

yeah, give it a spin. They opened for DBT this fall and offered a much more enjoyable experience than centro-matic usually does.

enjoy, Chingram.

thanks for the explosions, solace.

Who's that dude in your avatar, Cullie? He looks evil to me. I say we drive a stake through his heart.

Anybody have Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars?

Punk'd this from the interweb...

Eluvium - Copia (2007)


(it's sounding damn fine on the first few listens...there's plenty o' piano on this baby)

did you get this from hipinion?

nope. different board.

Not bad. I gotta say though, I think Mono has this style mastered.

I think I may actually prefer EITS's free EP "the Rescue" to this.

best stuff of '06!

Ohno, please don't! It's Patrick Wolf. Don't hurt him.

Btw, i need his new album to leak NOW!

the Rescue was just kinda boring for me, and they should never try vocals again, unless maybe it's guest vocals

i can appreciate it was written & recorded in 8 days tho, but it's easily the weakest thing they've put out

may some kind person reup the Snowden "Anti-Anti" album for me?

My only vote for any top EOY stuff goes to Boris - Pink

hxxp://www.sendspace.com/file/pi27ir

The only people raving about it are in the Metal Thread. I don't think it belongs to any one genre. I hope some of you put this in your EOY's. Enjoy!

people raved about this all last year, it may have even charted (im too lazy to check). nonetheless anyone who has not heard it, should.
