Spectrum at the echo... Oh my god... Amazing. I will try to write about it at some point... For now I will just say suicide was out of this world. Easily one of my top shows instantly.

Hofstadter

I'm always surprised this sort of thing doesn't happen way more often. I feel like yeah, the way it is turned into a whole huge attention thing gives everybody exactly what they wanted/will only make these things more common (especially when it was so easy). That al qaeda quote was depressing but pe...

I have lots of friends in Boston and Cambridge. They are all on lockdown on the college campuses. Scary they said but people are coming together well. My sister is definitely pretty freaked out because she was supposed to be at MIT last night... She's safe though.

And here I am stuck at school... Fuck...

This is just hearsay I guess, but I had a mutual friend who was at the show, he said it sounded pretty amazing/that it was the highlight of the weekend....

I'd like to hear that!

Yee yee Allah Las/Cosmonauts reppin' LA! There's a thread somewhere for the Allah Las/I've definitely mentioned 'em in gig write-ups on here.

Also been spinning these three a LOT lately: Wooden Shjips - West Follakzoid - II Diiv - Oshin That last one - a friend of mine was at Captured Tracks or something and got a bunch of free records so he gave me this, and even though I was not really down with it at all back in June, I decided to give...

jadams - isn't everything derivative, even the spacemen? What isn't derivative? Obviously the trick is to take your influences, your own ideas, etc, and synthesize something new (just hegelian dialectic eh?), but I don't think everything has to be a transcendent statement of new creative aesthetics,...

Hofstadter

Part of the reason why I have sort of stopped going to shows with friends as much recently and mostly just go alone, can't really stand it at all when they are either texting or taking photos; when people around me do it it is really annoying but what are you going to do, just ignore them and have y...

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, seems inappropriate to have this next to posts with real music in the titles. Is there somewhere else that would be better? First thing I've recorded in quite a while (at least that's not a max/msp modular synth emulation, maybe I will post one or two of those in a ...

I just won this national merit scholarship thing and was awarded a pretty handy sum of money - I thought there was no way I was going to be able to go, but it looks like I might be able to fund a trip now. Pretty ecstatic. It is in Camber Sands down on the english channel. Sounds pretty incredible, ...

Like I mentioned before, there are so many alternatives. Especially with the endless recommendations from this message board. It's not like I ever get bored. Let me take the moment to say - musically, this has been the most important year of my life, largely thanks to this board. Thank you all. /en...

Yeah because I've been aware of the fact that he is a big ole asshole, I've always just tried to stay away from information about him so as not to spoil the music - for instance I had no idea about the racism. I have heard that he has also had a lot of alcohol problems, but that he's mellowed out a ...

Out of curiosity, can I ask what "deleted" means here? It's a word that always has very digital connotations for me, wondering what it means in this context? Masters destroyed or something?

Hofstadter

Just a suggestion, you should obscure you email address somehow so you don't get lots of crap from spambots.

Hofstadter

Hmm I have a bunch of those actually, I always assumed it was just because the lengths were too long for one LP but too short for a full four sides, cool to know that there is something more to it than that! THe LGM reissue I have is one of those - during a radio show for dublab I actually forgot ab...

Obviously quality drops when you go past 22 minutes on a side because you are trying to cram too many rings onto one side so to compensate you have to lose some of the dynamic range is lose my understanding - I wonder though what the deal is when you have fewer rings it seems to me that if you are a...

Methodrone is the only one I have a physical copy of - it is indeed pretty beautiful, wonderful hard cardboard? What's the word for the sturdy material that's used for nice gatefolds?

Sun Araw and Pure X on Friday - at a place called the Kibitz Room, it's like a bar thing attached to Canter's Famous Deli, pretty funny location, but super excited!!

Scared Bones web site. They put it out. I just realized why I haven't been able to find anything by them... For whatever reason, I had it totally ingrained so deeply in my head that their name was Folkazoid (I even wrote that up above!). I had been thinking "damn, why do these guys just not ex...

Coooool that's what I figured, just reassuring hearing that from somebody who deals with moving records all the time as opposed to me, who only ever really moves rekkerds to the studio and back.

Amazing album, one of the few that my sister and I can really connect on (Elliot Smith being one of our only other overlaps) so it has a lot of sentimental value for that reason.
