Anyone have this?

Various Artists - After Dark
(Italians Do It Better - 2007)



I got "Rolling Down the Hills" after I heard it on blog radio and love that track. If the rest of this album is that good then I really need to hear this.

Ugh. Animal Years was terrible, i don't know what you're talking about...

But this may be only because the theater where i worked when the album came out played the "Wolves" song over and over and over until i absolutely despised it and quit my job.

I don't think it was terrible by any means, though I could see that wolves song grating on me after repeat listens.

Yep. Well, it leaked in... January, or something. "new" albums.

Oh, and, i agree with tweed. Anyone who could up the new Angels of Light would be greatly appreciated.


Edit: Not my link, but i found it.

I'm not sure how many people know about this, but i just stumbled upon the greatest thing ever. It is a lengthy archive of links to albums new and old. I was looking for the latest Earth disc and found it there, along with a wealth of other stuff. Anyways, check it.

I'll post this in here as well

You may remember ccc's last project, where he used Revolver to create his mashup album Revolved. To celebrate the 40 year anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's, the mashup maestro once again blends music from past and present to construct

The Fiery Furnaces - Widow City




goodnight to all.

The shining centerpiece of Volunteer Pioneer is Sabrina Duim and her glittering harp. The San Francisco three-piece's self-titled EP is in fact dedicated to Duim, a seasoned musician whose musical resume includes touring and recording stints with Bright Eyes, Feist and Rilo Kiley, and who tragically passed away in January. This EP is therefore Volunteer Pioneer's first and last.


An entrancing concoction of the weird vocal bravado of Frog Eyes and the driving musical purification/transience of Arcade Fire, Volunteer Pioneer's songs are balanced by Kyle Williams' domestic lyrics. Domesticity is sent into the ether with opener "Separate Planes." Duim's understated harp plays over lashing guitar. As the song progresses, her harp slowly begins gaining its own authority as she sings with Williams about family mythologies: "I think you said / That your brother tried to stab your father through / The wall of your childhood home."


The resounding testament to Sabrina's ability, which causes some to make the knee-jerk comparison to Joanna Newsom, is found on "Fear of Cholera." A song that spits out historical figures like the Lone Ranger and William McKinley as fast as it can, it is a blistering exposition about "remembering everything." In the track's defiant chaos, Duim's harp is the sole buoy in a gnashing sea created by Jason Byer's cymbal crashes. Williams' David Byrne-like yelps fragment in jagged shards as the song closes.


The tension between the beauty of the harp and Williams' jolting voice finally unearths its resolution in the appropriate "Funeral Scene." The track starts off with an ambling harp line as Williams extols, "There's a funeral / Where the coffin sings." It is in these moments that Volunteer Pioneer start to pull away from life's struggles with death by transcending it. (Antigone Music)

Wow, this almost makes it too easy. Thanks!

Okay, technically this should've been put in the "Plug One" section, because the lead singer/songwriter of this band is my best friend and was the best man at my wedding, but this is just too fucking good and I want a lot of people to know about this....





Volunteer Pioneer- 7 Song EP


Technically supposed to have come out in 2006, but one member of this trio (Sabrina Duim) passed away in January. The two remaining members worked to get this out by the middle of this year, and this is a stunner. This is a three piece guitar/harp/drum band with alternating male/female vocals. They're pretty simplistic rock, but this is an exciting interesting art-pop disc worth the 5 minute download and the 25 minutes to listen.

The review from performermag.com:




...so maybe I'm wrong and this is just a friend speaking, but this is one of my favorite things I've heard this year. Let me know if I'm crazy for saying this.

I tried to download but the y-s-it link has exceeded # of d-l's.

Is the new Tegan & Sara buried somewhere in this thread?

I liked Animal Years all right, but this on the other hand is pretty solid start to finish. Reminds me a little of Nilsson on the more pop oriented stuff. "Right Moves" was on repeat for awhile yesterday while I was at work.

Surprisingly good album, definitely worth listening to.

I downloaded this expecting a collection of Roman Gladiator music.
Needless to say, I am quite disappointed.

Is that the ELO spaceship?

Yup. I have no idea what the other bits are.

The new Mekons leaked, but I would like to say I hope many people here buy it when it comes out.

I see Morrison Hotel and Ziggy Stardust referenced.

Also The Clash and The White Room.

And The Stone Roses.

Maybe you need to give it more listens because I love it.

I love it, too--what's not to like? It's as hot as been here all year and I can't think of a btter time for this to leak--or of a better leak. What's the song that's missing?

Paper Planes

anyone happen to re-share the sunset rubdown?
