sadly permanent records isn't able to do their midnight sale any more. they're opening at 7am tomorrow and i'm actually going to wake up early enough to get there by then- i have to be at work later in the day, so it's best if i try and get my running around and waiting in line done early. plus if t...

alright, here is the audio link (finally)- https://www.dropbox.com/s/7sxii2mempzjmrn/2013.04.13-%20Indio%2C%20CA-%20Coachella.zip it's 320kbps mp3s. if anyone wants flacs please feel free to ask. my two cents- i think this audio rip sounds pretty great considering the circumstances. there were sever...

i'll see what i can do to make the video a bit more watchable when i get home from work and i'll post it.

shalloboi

i got the audio and video- but the video is kind of crappy- the stream went really pixellated whenever there were strobing lights. plus the sound of the stream was TERRIBLE! have to be up for work in 5 hours. kind of a shame what a farce that stream was (and i'd imagine the actual sound at the festi...

i managed to record beach house's set last night and it turned out alright- the quality of the stream is kind of crappy (both audio and video wise- whoever's mixing the audio stream is phoning it in a bit). i've been checking in throughout the day to monitor the connection and i'm going to stay up l...

Kurt Vile: Wakin On a Pretty Daze . There are some excellent tracks on here, but there also seem to be a fair number of average, Vile-by-numbers songs, too. I'll keep at it. Some of my friends have been raving about it. now that i've listened to it a few times i'm inclined to agree. critics are rea...

i make diary playlists every month. they're kind of compilations of what i'm listening to at the moment or what i'm getting all nostalgic and wistful about. it's a really fun practice- when i listen to one from years ago it really pulls me back to what was happening in my life when i made it. i have...

finally get to listen to the new kurt vile double LP. it arrived in the mail yesterday, but i was never able to set aside the time to listen to it and my laptop was on the fritz so i wasn't able to load it onto my ipod. it's a very beautiful blue colour. so far i like it quite a bit, but there isn't...

To be honest it ruins the music for me too. There are so many other alternatives. Another reason I would not spend a dime on their vinyl. Lets face it. Anton is, or at least was, a Class A fucking asshole. Racist, unbalanced, obnoxious and crazy. This has nothing to do with my "confontation&qu...

So, are the CKME reissues totally different than "A Records"? Looking on Discogs I think the only vinyl reissue that Committee to Keep Muisc Evil have done is "Their Satanic Majesties..." There's no info about CKME on Discogs so I did a Google search and it seems there's a bit o...

shalloboi

Also, aren't these reissues on Anton's own label so its not like some third party has come along and cashed in or anything. yes, a records is anton's label. while $40 is a lot for me spend on one record i've bought every single one that's come out on his label- i know that the quality of the pressi...

20 pounds is still $32+. This is a lot in my book. yeah, from an american perspective i agree. since so many people here are based in the UK and could order these albums on vinyl at a reasonable price for their own currency and not have to pay for overseas shipping on top of it, it's a pretty good ...

shalloboi

the three essentials i'd say are- 'bravery, repitition and noise'- which would be good to start with- a reasonably priced vinyl copy would be easy to find (even the purple version). plus i think it'd be the best jumping off point (this one sold me on my complete fanaticism). 'methodrone' 'and this i...

shalloboi

the main thing i noticed when i listened to it was how weak those last three tracks are. the rest of it is as good as 'phosphene dream' but it ends with the weakest songs of the bunch. all of their other albums end strongly except for this one, making it seem like they dropped the ball big time. i t...

shalloboi

i'm on a bit of tight budget right now, so i've really had to make my purchases count-

implodes- 'recurring dream'
hookworms- 'pearl mystic'
white fence- 'cyclops reap'
thee oh sees- 'floating coffin'
kurt vile- 'wakin' of a pretty daze' (this one's in the mail right now- pretty excited to hear it)

shalloboi

this nice low live session-

skipped seeing them at the metro. hopefully they'll play an aftershow when they come through for pitchfork as i'm pretty sure they're not playing the same day as swans.

shalloboi

just got back from nick cave. talk about a surreal night- based on our tickets i thought were in the fourth row, but as it turns out we were in front row. front and center, in fact. it was pretty awesome but i also found myself outside of my comfort zone just a bit- i tend to gravitate towards the b...

i can identify with the pessimism as well. it causes a frenzy mentality that's kind of disappointing to say the least. i'm just going to do what i do every year- try my best to only get what i'm after out of the limited edition items (it's usually only a few). i've found if i can't get them on the d...

I read that there's a 12" reissue of The Verve E.P. as well. Which, if it included the full length versions of Gravity Grave and She's A Superstar, would be their best release. yup, it's on a bunch of lists. unfortunately for those of us in the states it's one of the UK only releases. with shi...

wow. i've been keeping up with the list as it's been updated, but this last one kind of made my head explode. bjm and thee oh sees both have releases?! i'd also love to know what's on those two animals 10"es. i've already started putting aside a little tip money each week, but this is getting o...

staying up late to listen to this one. so far the first two tracks are really beautiful.

NICE! looks like a mix of newer stuff plus that unreleased live stuff from the 2000 loppen bootleg (which is incredible, btw). i love 'flyin' low'- nice and dirty and bluesy.

my nick cave tickets finally came in the mail yesterday. i'm sitting in the fourth row of the orchestra pit! holy crap! i always forget that whenever a band holds a presale for a show that's often where you can get the best seats.

So, whatever happened to the Mazzy Star album that was supposed to be released last year? It was announced with a bunch of fanfare, hype and expectation but with exception to the "Common Burn" 7-inch nothing has appeared. i've been wondering this too. it seems to have gotten very quiet in...

the new low album is coming out in a few weeks- i just checked and it looks like pre-order of it has shipped. pretty excited to hear it- 'so blue' is a beautiful track. it also looks like the black ryder are finally putting out a new album. i still listen to 'buy the ticket take the ride' quite a bit.

Ultimately I have to stand by Unplugged as the best live document of Nirvana, though admittedly I haven't heard the Paramount show.

Anal as I am, I first counted the bars years ago. It is correct - after "100" the song contains five sections of twenty bars, and I've counted to 200 under my breath many a time :D I'm pretty sure Kate says "200" after (rather than during) the 200th bar, though... God, I'm sad :...

just finished listening for the first time- unsurprisingly i love it. it's incredibly varied and it rarely does what you're expecting.
the first track is beautiful and the last two twisted my brain into a pretzel!

i'm going to go with the version they played at pitchfork in 2008. it was really hard-hitting and emotional. i knew they were going to play it, but that didn't dull the impact in the least. the version they played at the metro was good too, but for some reason didn't quite have the intensity of the ...
