wouldn't mind upping it would ya?

If I don't get it up tonight, I'll gladly do so over the weekend.

I listened to Employment fairly often, even though I can't say I really liked it, if that makes sense. But this one just doesn't have any hooks. Honestly, I'm not looking for growth out of a band like Kaiser Chiefs, just bring the catchy choruses lads.

And yeah, as stated above the new Ted Leo is pretty meh. It's waaaaaaaay too long and a real chore to sit through (see Impressions of Earth, First). It also doesn't help that every song is about Iraq.

!!! / MYTH TAKES

kaiser chiefs blow.

Anybody listen to Country Ghetto by JJ Grey & Mofro yet? I'm just wondering if this album is worth further investigation?

removed. sorry, wrong thread.

Dan Deacon - Spiderman of the Rings



Fantastic album.

Is that whole Dan Deacon album as batshit crazy as the track posted on P4k (Crystal Cat or something)?

uh huh.

Here ya' go, yo, the new Ted Leo album, "Living with the Living."

http://www.sendspace.com/file/i34aj1

Probably even more so.

hey thanks for this.

yeah, since the riaa is coming down on your dorm-dwelling, bittorrent-hogging ass you better start thanking friendly message board uploaders.

yeah i don't know what the fuck i'm going to do now. i can't wait until i'm out of the dorms and can use the internet how i please without worrying about the university tracking my every move. then i'll only have to worry about the government watching me.

Man, this is a sad moment. A few yrs ago, I saw Ted Leo play at Reckless Records, and during the build-up on "Timorous Me," I was overcome with such a rush of emotion that I had to turn to my girlfriend to stem my bewilderment.

Now, his new album's just sittin' there for the taking, and I'd just as soon work my way over to wwtdd.com.


EDIT: This is also my 1,000th post. Even sadder. I am feeling very AlkalineDrown-ish.



















k

that ted leo album, while certainly not his best, is way better than most people are giving it credit for.

Theo's album is superb. Dude is as rock solid as it gets with the radness of his albums.

Kessler, are you aging in dog years?

Cheers. Their first album was nothing to get excited about either.

Not sure if this has been posted... But what the fuck, right?

Iggy & The Stooges - The Weirdness (2007)

hxxp://rabbitshave.com/files/17863067/The_Stooges_-_The_Weirdness.zip

Tracklist:

Asleep On A Train
Welcome Home
Let The River In
Glory
The Strangest Things
Wrapped in Piano Strings
Along The Road
Haunted
Winter is Coming
Sleepwalking
Homesick


This record started with a simple idea: What if houses had memories? What if, when we lived in them, our stories bled into the walls and became a part of the house? What if our ghosts were always going to haunt the places we've lived, along with everyone else who's lived there? So some songs are from the point of view people still living their lives in one of these houses; some are from the point of view of those dead and gone, watching over the living or haunting them; some are from people visiting home, after being away for along time, and the familiar ghosts of childhood all coming back to remind you of the way things used to be.
All of the songs are short stories; even if again and again the narrator's voice is transmitted to the instruments, the piano, the guitars, an accordion. And in comparison to the very song-orientated debut by Electric President - 24-year-old Ben Cooper's alter ego (Radical Face) and second musical affair of the heart, Ghost, has become a songwriter-album. Or rather a song-writing album, the tracks as carefully arranged interiors, chamber folk, pocket symphonies, passionate melodies.
Ben Cooper recorded this album almost entirely alone. In a small shed in Jacksonville Beach/Florida. His recording studio. Another one of these houses full of stories. He recorded the guitars and drum-patterns, the banjos, organs and keyboards and sang in chorus with himself. He let the instruments take a deep breath and created a breathing record, a lively, warm Ghost.

awesome, thanks

Somebody up the new Black Lips album, thanks.

I didn't check to see if the link is still live, but they had it up at
Una Piel de Astrican

Actually, the more I hear it, the more I think it's pretty great.

That Radical Face album is... really damn good.

Yeah yeah yeah. Not my usual cup of tea, but it has a good loud/quiet mix that keeps me interested.

yeah, i'm in the same boat largely.

Bolchas Gratis posted the new Chromatics album, but I can't play all the songs in Windows Media Player. Could someone upload it WMP friendly?

I changed my mind. It's fucking amazing.

Welcome Home, Son. Really a fan.

I think it's great, too.

it gave my friend multiple orgasms.....

Seconded. This has pretty much floored me. Really great find.

yea but how does that album above compare with:

I saw these guys 2 summers ago, they're pretty good live (though they broke up shortly after that concert). The audience was totally not into them though.

oh my balls yes.

where did this come from? what is it? where can i get more like it?

The Snake The Cross The Crown - Cotton Teeth

Ignore the awful name, ignore the fact that they're from Alabama but chose to spend the last four years in Santa Barbara for the music scene, ignore the fact that I found this band cause one of my childhood friends is dating the guitarist/singer. After you've ignored all that, download the album and give it a good, clear-headed listen. This is hot shit.

For some reason, I think Montana might like this, but I could definitely be wrong. RIY don't mind your alt.country and indie rock mixing a little bit, but rather have the mix lean a little more toward the country side of things. Some parts remind me of Being There-era Wilco, some parts remind me of Band of Horses, and the last song sounds like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.



enjoy.

No Sir. I don't like it.

Caaaareful.

Caaaareful.

You see 'em at the Greek a couple years ago? Amazing show.

...

I don't get it: are you just not a Wilco fan, or is this simply a by-product of the board's general (and unfounded) Wilco-wary/weary?

Download the album. You'll like it, and even love parts of it.

Of course I already downloaded it. You made a CYHSY reference.


Still haven't given Wilco any of my time, so not much of an opinion.

EDIT2: Listening to YHF right now, and this is so unbelievably bland, except for I'm The Man Who Loves You.


EDIT: based on unzipping it, and opening about 4 tracks, and listening to them for 10 seconds somewhere in the middle, this is Album of the Year.
EDIT2: This is better than YHF.

Haven't listened to the whole Radical Face album yet, but if you are digging it take a listen to Ben Cooper (Radical Face)'s other project, Electric President's self-titled album, came out last year.

nothing spectacular if you ask me.

I have been trying to track down "Country Ghetto" by JJ Grey and Mofro, any help will be greatly appreciated....

I'm getting goosebumps. This is really excellent stuff.

I am just so-so on this Radical Face album. I don't think the concept came off as well as it should, or was expected to.

I really expected not to like it, but I had a full listen on the train on the way home today and it kinda was actually pretty good...ish... iiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm still reluctant.

The first time I heard the seventh or eighth song (where there's some half-rocking-out) I was thinking "this is pretty pretentious and ripoffy" and now I'm actually thinking it's more genuine than before.




I think the name "Radical Face" sucks. And I think the first listen I had was affected by the suckiness of the name.

Who the hell is Radical Face?

Also, what do they sound like?

RiYL...

edit: damn. didn't realize this was upped already.
