Bobbie Gentry : Touch 'Em With Love (LP) Utopia: Oops, Wrong Planet! (LP) - Might be a dud, but a friend insisted I buy it when I told him I like Rundgren Pulp: Different Class (Music On Vinyl 2xLP Reissue) Pulp: His N Hers (Music On Vinyl 2xLP Reissue) - includes a ton of bonus tracks on the second...

TheWarmth

Hopefully, there will be a few interviews song with Primavera on the horizon. Maybe we'll get a little info as to what's going on.

TheWarmth

Anyone else listen to the Cocaine & Rhinestones podcast about country music? It's really well done and super informative. I don't know a lot about country music history, so it's been very enjoyable for me. The stories are fascinating.

TheWarmth

I did see that there is a 4 x LP version of Soundtracks for the Blind up for pre-order. I'm not sure I want to drop $75 on it, though.

TheWarmth

I think the new Courtney Barnett album is really strong. The production is great and the songwriting is probably stronger than the last record. Definitely wouldn't use the word "plodding" to describe it. I've been getting into Swans album, Soundtracks for the Blind . I saw them live once, ...

TheWarmth

If anyone is coming to Chicago for the MBV show on July 27th, you might consider sticking around the following night, as CAVE and Oneida are playing at Empty Bottle (Saturday, July 28th)

TheWarmth

I got my copy of HL&HB just the other day. Score it off Discogs for $26 (listed by Medical Records). It's a little warped, but so far it playing just fine and sounds good. My buddy got one and he said his is also warped. Fucking pressing plants are so hit or miss these days, but I guess what mat...

TheWarmth

Looks like they released a new album today:

https://lightheat.bandcamp.com/

TheWarmth

That's a really cool track. They only released three singles?

TheWarmth

This album badly needs a quality vinyl reissue. Actually, the whole catalog needs it or at very least the first three. I don't count the Plain pressings.

TheWarmth

The remix album is great. I really dig it. If you can score a copy for under $30, go for it. There's an amazing remix of "Cali" by Luke Abbot. Cavern of Anti-Matter's remix of "Lateral Alice" rules. Side B is an ambient suite of "Home Is A Feeling".

TheWarmth

Yeah, there was no bassist. The guitarist, DJ and drummer. I seriously couldn't figure out what was going on with the guitarist and eventually decided that he doesn't actually know how to play.

TheWarmth

I saw Lumerians and Follakzoid last night. I'd seen Lumerians once before, so I knew the deal, but they were great: hypnotic, driving psych rock with awesome vintage synth tones. I have to admit that their robe/mask aesthetic appeals to me. I don't know if they have a new record coming soon or not. ...

TheWarmth

Does anyone own this? I've been looking out for a copy for years and never seen one. I'm starting to question whether it exists, but Discogs shows a catalog number.

TheWarmth

I saw the blurb about the Ten Rapid pressing and I think it actually said, "first time on white vinyl." I questioned it myself and then decided that the label just used the fact that it's on colored vinyl to justify the statement. Pretty stupid.

TheWarmth

Follakzoid & Lumerians at Empty Bottle this Thursday
Fever Ray at Metro - May 18
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks at Thalia Hall - June 3
My Bloody Valentine at The Riveria - July 27

I should have it in hand within a day or two. I'll report back. I did hear the Cavern of Anti-Matter remix ("Lateral Alice," I think) and liked that.

TheWarmth

I have the double 10" version of Ten Rapid, too. That's on the Jetset label. I'm pretty sure it's a legit release.

TheWarmth

I'm hoping that he's just adding last minute finishing touches. Sometimes tracking and mixing overlap, so we'll see.

TheWarmth

John Coxon has posted a few photos over the past week of Jason in the studio. It appears that he's still tracking the album. I have a bad feeling the end of the year is the earliest we can expect it. I really feels like its been an eternity at this point.

TheWarmth

I'm expecting a solo album announcement any day now.

TheWarmth

I've been selling on Discogs and it's been pretty effortless so far. Once you get into a rhythm with it, it's not hard and you get a lot more for your records than you would just dropping them off at a store.

TheWarmth

Is the art the same as the Father Yod pressing?

TheWarmth

I saw Ween live last year and they were a lot of fun. I had no idea until I went to the show (friend had an extra ticket) that their crowd is the same as you'd find at a Phish show, which admittedly put me off a bit. I'm not a big Ween fan, but I have an appreciation for what they do and genuinely e...

davedecay wrote:I'm seeing this as limited to 300 copies?

FUCK.

I saw the same thing. I'm pretty curious what the aftermarket price will be, as I'm assuming I will not score one on RSD. I mean, this album is still way under the radar even if there are a handful of people clamoring for the reissue.

TheWarmth

Looks like the CD is already out via the Glass Redux Bandcamp page. I have heard about colored vinyl, though. Maybe it's just bad information. In any case, I probably won't buy it. I have an original vinyl copy and unless it's remastered to be louder and more dynamic, I don't think it's worth paying...

Anyone heard about this? Label is listed as "Glass Redux".

TheWarmth

I got a good ticket for the Saturday Chicago show from a friend. Not sure how much I owe her for it yet, but whatever. I haven't seen them since they played Lollapalooza for In Rainbows in 2008, so it's been a long while.

TheWarmth

Please report back on this. I'm tempted.

TheWarmth

Agree, but my guess is that they're going to be incorporated into the album somehow.

TheWarmth

Tickets have been extremely difficult to get. Frustrating. I hate the idea of seeing them at United Center, but I'll go if I can find a ticket.

TheWarmth

I'm really, really late to the party on this thread. Are the vinyls still available? Where is best to buy them in the uk? You have to buy them from the MBV website. They're not being distributed to stores. My understanding is that they're still available. People are already flipping them for high p...

TheWarmth

Thanks Warmth, there’s some copies left so you’ll be okay. I saw on Instagram that they are sending copies out. I only ordered last week so i’ll be a bit down the list bit i’ll keep you posted. Simon: I finally placed my order for the book. I can't wait. I used to have a really solid collection of ...

mc: Let us know what you think. There are a few clunkers, but overall I'm really happy. I'm going to do up a playlist with my own imagined album running order. I listened to EP3 today about 3 times.

TheWarmth

New Calexico album is quite splendid, quite psych and moody rather than dusty mariachi/americana (still one of the best live bands for me) Japenese Breakfast is also a good album (from last year) I really dig the Japanese Breakfast album. She's made some killer videos, too. I'm not a big music vide...

TheWarmth

I really like this new EP. Cold Water People is great. The falsetto vocal on Keep It Surreal is a little strange and unexpected, but it works.

TheWarmth

I played both albums yesterday. Loveless sounds incredible. Just really massive. The low end is crazy. My pressing of Isn't Anything is really noisy in the right channel. However, they're sending out alternate versions of that album with every copy that you buy. The rumor is that it was a rejected v...

“When we were doing ‘Feed Me With Your Kiss’, I made the bass so heavy it popped the speaker off the wall,” admits Shields. “Instinctively, the engineer put his foot out to stop it hitting the ground and it broke his foot.”

Here's the text from a recent Uncut MBV interview:

Mine arrived today. I probably won't be able to jam them at full volume until Saturday, but I will report back.

They are doing Playing With Fire and Recurring, too:

Fever Ray at Metro in May.

FYI: My buddy in Cleveland just tried to order 4 LPs from the site, two of each album, and the shipping is coming up as $85. I checked my receipt and I was only charged $21.74. I was curious, so I went to the site, put the records in my cart and sure enough ... $85 shipping. So, it appears they have...

TheWarmth

I hope that's not the title. It just makes me think of chicken wings.

TheWarmth

The other day I was speaking to a friend about the kind of fees bands get for festival performances. He used to live in Indianapolis and was involved in booking acts for a festival (considerably smaller than something like Primavera). He and his team were attempting to book Of Montreal and the band ...

TheWarmth

These big festival shows with orchestra are probably quite lucrative, so like last year, it may be they do just a couple of big festival dates, to allow the album to get completed? If he needs the money to put out the album, then why bring an orchestra and a choir? It makes no sense. He could easil...

TheWarmth

I'm sure the album will see the light of day. There are plenty of labels who would love to be involved. If the album winds up being as good as "Always Forgetting With You (Bridge Song)" (which may wind up on the album), then I will be very happy. That song has an otherworldliness to it tha...

TheWarmth

I ordered on November 4th and my order shipped on January 15th. Excited to hear these.

TheWarmth

It would strike me as ill-advised for Pierce to do more shows without a new album to promote. Given that they're headlining Primavera, I'm assuming there's an album involved, otherwise I can't really see them being given top billing, but maybe I'm wrong. This is my own speculation, of course.

TheWarmth

John Coxon has posted a few studio images on Instagram recently. Whether that's Spiritualized related or not is hard to tell. His handle is "johnrtcoxon".

TheWarmth

Surely an album announcement of forthcoming.

TheWarmth

Man, this new track is great. I haven't been very impressed with anything by Moon Duo or WS over the past five years or so, but this is totally expansive and a new vibe for them. I do think the vocal sounds very Kember-ish, but that's cool with me.

TheWarmth

Interesting. I actually like Matador, the second one, better than the first. I listened to the first single from the new one as wasn't blown away, but I'm keeping an open mind because I think Gaz is an excellent songwriter and generally very reliable.

TheWarmth

The new First Aid Kit album, Ruins, is fantastic. I'm also looking forward to Gaz Coombes' (Supergrass) new solo album.

TheWarmth

Oh man, I've been meaning to order that book. I gotta do that soon. Are you running low on stock?

BTW, has anyone received their MBV reissues? I have a friend in the UK (actually, he used to post here - d_rradio), who already received his.

TheWarmth

I'm guessing this is a sign that someone recently realized that Spiritualized needs some kind of social media presence in advance of the new album. Fingers crossed. Literally every morning I look to see if an announcement has been made.

TheWarmth

Been waiting for reviews on this side project of Tim Gane. What's up with Stereolab, by the way ? Are they still together or just a hiatus ? As I said, I'm a big fan. I think both of their albums are top notch and more interesting than a lot of the new stuff that gets labeled as Krautrock or psych....

Psyched for this one! Love this band.

TheWarmth

Gotta disagree. The only song on Tarantula that's better than this new one is "Black Nite Crash."

There has been discussion about B&S's new triple EP release, but I figured it warrants its own thread. They just released a new song today, "The Same Star," which I am liking very much. https://www.stereogum.com/1977614/belle-sebastian-the-same-star/music/ The first EP came out in Dece...

Olan: I bought volumes 1 and 3. Both are superb. There is a copy of volume 2 on Discogs that I have my eye on.

That's awesome, Heisenberg. I didn't attend when she performed in Chicago and I wish I had. I'll definitely go next time.

TheWarmth

I think the only reissues out there are on the much-derided Plain Recordings. Probably sourced from a cd. However, as Alan mentioned, the originals were riddled with issues and they're crazy expensive. I purchased a black vinyl pressing from Plain and it sounds pretty good to me. I am not an audioph...
