i want to hear this...

I personally think I like discovery better but that Alive 1997 disc builds on these songs to an extreme.

This would be Emily who?

emily haines, metric

Man, I dunno what to think about this one.

It kinda sucks, but it kinda doesn't.

Exactly what I was thinking. I've had the "Fuck It Up" 7" for a long time and have loved that song... but yeah there are some pretty weak moments overall.

Yeah buddy.

Fuck, I double-posted.

it's been a long time...

this is not what I expected. Strike three for him.

simakos do you like Lync too? Good band.

was that his band before LaL? i've never heard any of it

These Are Not Fall Colors is worth a try if you like his other stuff.

cool, i'll try and find it.

"Back To The Sea" sounds like Blink 182.

you know what, that's true.



I got this because it was #2 on your list and I've never even heard of it. "Faron Young" is great and then it becomes an easy listening pop album. That's cool.

This has been my now playing selection in my car for the past couple of days for much the same reason (thanks Paves). I always thought that it was front-loaded because all of the singles are at the beginning and the US Two Wheels Good version has not quite as good b-sides tacked on the end. I still think it trails off, but "Horsin' Around" has become a favorite. I still like Jordan: The Comeback a lot more though.

My other car selection has been this:

Better than the debut, but still with a patina of bland professionalism. It's like they want to show people they're capable of rocking out or getting edgier, but are afraid of offending their fan base by actually doing so.

Great! If you're familiar with the past two years of Pavement Ist Rad's Discussion Forum postings, you might know that I am constantly urging people to listen to this album. Good to see some folks finally spinning it thanks to my recommendations. Now everybody go check out the first "Weird Al" Yankovic album. "Mr. Frump In The Iron Lung" = the greatest song of all time? Probably not. Way better than MxPx, though.

And "Horsin' Around" is awesome. "I (bum bum bum bum) deserve (bum bum bum bum) to be (bum bum bum bum) kicked!" Easy listening is is definitely an appropriate term. Sometimes I can't believe just how "lush" a lot of the album is. "Desire As," for example. I'm listening to it right now, and I love it, of course. But the Kenny G-ish saxophone? What the hell? It makes it sound even more like cheap 80s porno music than it already does. It just sounds so fucking dated! I mean, like Hounds of Love-dated. I love cheesy synths, though. Lots of reverb, the "aah" voice, all that shit. One of the main reasons one of the few 2004 albums I still listen to is Your Blues. Anyways. Wonderful pop music. If you like wonderful pop music, well, this is the album for you.

When Bobzilla mentioned "Horsin' Around," I was reminded of how great it is and I listened to it. Then I listened to every other song on the album, out of order. I listened to the last song last, though. Right after the first song, which I listened to second to last. Of course, after listening to the first song, I listened to a couple Ween songs, and then the last song. Eh...

Great record.

Ya know, my mom had two or three Prefab Sprout albums, including this one.

I've never thought twice about listening to them.

Today, I thought about it for the second time...twice, if you will.

just picked up:
cut chemist - the audiance's listening (first listen, its nice, and has some super sweet grooves.)

i have also been listening to Modern Lovers - s/t all day.

The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band - A Child's Guide To Good & Evil

Hey, I can do one of these now. Today's batch of '85 - '94 listening:









Also Paves' Ween Mix and Seam - The Problem With Me

And currently working on

The Problem With Me is good. I know it won't chart but it should.

the last two tracks are my favorite

I wonder who will vote SFTBC higher, me or andrew.

How is this?

As expected, it's pretty wacky. I think it's pretty entertaining, and you can't find this stuff very easily elsewhere. The same label also released a Turkish compilation - I don't have it yet.

I'll post it when I get a chance.

Thanks!

I finally picked up the domestic release. I'm surprised to see all of the song titles in English.

1997 in the house.

I don't think this album ever gets less awesome.

No. No it doesn't. Sometimes I think it even gets awesomer.

solid^^^

now spinning the music disc from:

This is pretty cool stuff - the Hendrix cover got me by surprise.

When you're in the mood for these, shit. Euphoria is the most overlooked album ever.

Yeah, me too.
Since it's in Spanish, I had no idea it was coming.
"Joven Amante" = "Little Miss Lover" apparently

As requested by Biggie:

Booka Shade - Movements
Vladislav Delay - Anima
Unwound - The Future Of What
Blonde Redhead - La Mia Vita Violenta

You know what? I'm sick of giving you the business.

i'm on the fence... should i?

Go for it!

Nick Cave weather today.
