They're playing a late night set with an alternative circus thing down at Bonnaroo.
I've never heard a note of their music, but it sounds sort of irresistable.
this is so great... am i the only john fahey fan on the SOOMB? shit.
The only John Fahey I've ever heard is this:
It's some of the only Christmas that I can stand listening to.
Fun fact: John Fahey was good friends with Dr. Demento!

It's the bonus four song CD that American indie record stores are selling with the new album. It's not available in Canada, so I got it off Oink this afternoon. Check the DBT thread, I posted the key track from the CD.

German cabaret meets female piano singing. It's clever, saucy, and explicit, but never precious...there's a sincerity in the music that Nellie McKay totally lacks.

no, you're not alone. How is this, by the way? It says Grandaddy is on it? I take it that everyone who contributes doesn't just play acoustic solo?

I saw your explanation and link -- thanks man! I'm glad it's nothing more than one unreleased track. Without your informative post, I would have tracked it down, paid too much, and gave it a disappointed head shake on arrival.

This is so much better than that lame mono mix that leaked in January. This thing sounds HUGE. I like it a lot more than the last KJ album.

there are a few solo guitar tunes on this tribute, but a lot of the artists worked out full band versions of the songs... lots of drums, some piano, and even a little drone here and there. worth the price if you dig fahey.

I could never understand all the praise for Trout Mask Replica (one of my least favorite Beefheart records), yet this one never gets mentioned. Beefheart always did a good job producing his own work (Decals, Spotlight Kid, Doc At The Radar Station...)

I practically studied that album for an entire week when the reissue came out last year. I had forgotten what a great album it really was. It helped that I hadn't listened to it in a long time, which allowed me to hear it with a fresh ear.

I'm not all the way through it yet, but I like it more than my tastes would usually indicate I should. I usually don't gravitate to this kinda stuff, but this album is pretty darn fun. Reminds me a bit of the Mekons (at least the little bit of their stuff that I've heard).

I read a review based upon a leaked(?) copy and it said that it basically expands on the direction of the last Blink 182 album. I liked it, so I'll probably just burn a copy of the new one from my brother because I know he'll get it.

EDIT: just heard a bit more at lunch and what strikes me is the real sense of urgency to their music. I haven't spent enough time with it to have a clue what they are singing about, but they make it sound like the most important stuff on the planet. Like if they don't get these songs out right now, the ideas will be lost forever and the future of the planet will be in question.
Ah, the true essense of rock and roll.

I implore you guys to listen to the Angels and Airwaves album before spending any money on it. It's not terrible, but it's by no means noteworthy. Tom built it up to be the biggest thing of the year and it's just not... it's the same style of music as the last Blink album (or Box Car Racer), but more rock than punk. Different guitar sound.
I'll take Blink's Dude Ranch over anything else. Or the live album.

i dunno dude, anthemic power pop owns. i wont be expecting a revolution, but from the songs i have heard, "The Adventure" i am pretty stoked for some good stuff.
album cover rules pretty hard too. in a ridiculous sort of way.
"The Adventure" is a very good track, but it's the best on the album.
Just listen to it before you buy it, that's all I'm saying.

"Back from Samoa"
this album makes me want to write 10 pages on what I think. I said 2006 was gonna be a bad year for music gudging by how shitty 2005 was but this album is too damn good for the year to be bad. the sounds are all different. Its so hard to get to the end because I keep playing the first songs again. also been listning to...

??????? GOOD ALBUM?????? yes???
Alright, now for a drastic shift in mood:
saw this in Borders today and I had a coupon, and figured for 9 bucks I could do no wrong. I was right, this is a good disc, i feel it will get even better once i get past the whole "sounds like Interpol" deal
been listening to bits and pieces of this throughout the day, pretty good. not fantastic or anything, but like it nonetheless.
AND
part of me hates to admit this, but i have listened to this seven times in the last two days.
say goodbye to so-called, "taste"
Maybe I've just gotten cynical, but it sounds like "Candy Daze" was written expressly for use in a commercial. Five years ago, I would have merely deemed it a good pop song. If it doesn't wind up in a Starburst or Skittles commercial I'd be shocked.
Listen for yourselves..."Candy Daze"
