wasn't into 'cause i'm a man.' my wife kept begging me to turn it off. 'let it happen' was a little better, but i'm not into the smoother production at all- one of the things i liked about the production on 'lonerism' and 'innerspeaker' was the grittiness and immediacy of it.

swans- 'soundtracks for the blind'- a little immersive to say the least.

I saw nothing on the list I would wake up early for. Which I am totally fine with. I spent enough last time. completely agree with this. i was relieved when the final list was released. it shouldn't be a problem to get what i'm after later on- there are only a few releases i want at all on the list...

i bought one of these off of ebay and it crashed completely within two months- the dreaded 'red x' appeared on the screen after it was dropped one night while i was listening to it. my guess would be that apple discontinued it because this is a very common occurrence with this particular model- whil...

when warp started reissuing all of the boards of canada vinyl it seemed like only a matter of time until they got around to re-releasing all of the broadcast albums. i'm very grateful- i've always wanted these albums on vinyl but don't have hundreds of dollars to spend trying to round them all up. t...

i'm liking it more and more. the only problem is that i listen to most music while i'm commuting and it doesn't work super well for that.

i've watched the movie twice now- i really enjoy it. it's gotten me to listen to a bunch of ride (at last). i somehow had never listened to all of 'nowhere' until today- once it was finished i kicked myself several times- my first copy was a really worn-out cassette that sounded really awful. as som...

i watched the 'beautiful noise' doc last night (my dvd of it came in the mail yesterday), so it's been tons of cocteau twins, JAMC and 'alison' by slowdive is currently roaring through the speakers at work.

Kind of disappointed with Ruins - sounds like plinky piano demos. i'd say you should give the song 'holding' another listen. if that does nothing for you, then it's safe to say the album's not going to hold any interest for you. I really love her work - have practically everything. Maybe my expecta...

a lot of the usual suspects for me. not as great of a year for music as last year, but still a lot of great new stuff. a lot of growers i've noticed too. wye oak- 'shriek' swans- 'to be kind' grouper- 'ruins' warpaint- s/t angel olsen- 'burn your fire for no witness' war on drugs- 'lost in the dream...

swans- 'filth'
ex hex- 'rips'
aphex twin- 'syro'
grouper- 'ruins'
hookworms- 'the hum'

'take your time' is fantastic on this!

the 1999 one is probably the better of the two (although the recording of the 1998 show is better). the 1999 show ends with 'feel so sad.'

I'm torn on what to do - I can buy the Loser pre-order edition (spattered colored vinyl) for $23 shipped, but I'm on the fence spending that much on a single LP. It's sold out most everywhere but I found one site with it in stock. Sellers are already asking $30-$50 so I guess I shouldn't wait. i do...

a winged victory for the sullen- 'atomos' (which comes out on tuesday- so not much longer)
grouper- 'ruins'- i found a leak of this and downloaded it. a beautiful album that i look forward to buying and enjoying on vinyl (kranky never does download codes anyway).

finally got a chance to sit down and listen to the stream of 'commune' by goat. subpop emailed me that the link was active a week ago and i just haven't had the time to sit down at a computer for an hour to listen to it. i like it- i have the luxury of not having a lot of preconceptions about the ba...

i was going to try to lay low for a while, but there are too many great bands coming to town- wooden shjips at millenium park in august (can't remember who they're opening for) stargazer lilies/tobacco in september white fence at subterranean slowdive at the vic possibly sharon van etten in october ...

i had an episode with my tinnitus the other night at work, which was pretty scary. the ringing in my right ear became so loud that i could barely hear anything out of it at all. i didn't have any pain or dizziness, but i couldn't hear very well even when i tried to focus on different sounds. what i ...

just got home from seeing slowdive at pitchfork- it was, somehow, better than i was expecting. it sounded absolutely fantastic- it was surprisingly loud and clear for an outdoor festival. it was more emotional than i was expecting- i got teary during 'when the sun hits' in particular. normally sunda...

this is kind of random- but is anyone still looking for 'the space project' 7" box set? i'm in kansas city for another few days and found a copy (i'd imagine they might have a few copies) at a record store here for $43. if anyone wants me to snag one for them before i leave town i'd be happy to.

shalloboi

i confess i still have never listened to 'world music,' but went ahead and pre-ordered this because i like the track- plus i'll pre-order almost anything i'm curious about from sub pop.

i was hoping this would happen- it's been very difficult to be patient.

i don't have all of her albums, but will rate the ones i do have. from worst to best- director's cut aerial (although the first disc is a good listen) the dreaming (i've tried so many times with this album and i just don't get it- which is a shame as so many others seem to like it so much) 50 words ...

saw swans last night. it was every bit as great as i was hoping it would be. michael gira told the venue he'd stop the show if they didn't turn off the a/c. it wasn't as loud as i thought it was going to be- i brought earplugs just in case, but didn't end up using them for most of the night. they di...

there was a really high quality bundle of sessions from 92-98 that was posted here a while ago- i found it on my back up drive. could probably re-up if anyone wants it- there are something like 20+ songs including two versions of 'let it flow.'

swans- 'to be kind'

i'm half-way through it right now (the 30 minute track 'bring the sun/toussaint l'ouveture' right now) and so far it's fantastic. the production is particularly strong- really looking forward to seeing them in june too.

shalloboi

I'd have to put Anyway That You Want Me on there. I know it's not much loved around here, but I happen to love it. Chronologically, here's what I'd be starting with, and would probably have to whittle down due to length and for clarity. I daren't try rearrange this list into a running order for my ...

just wondering (as there are many experts here) if rsd has a knock on effect for the whole year or if it is just a day+ blip? if items are going to reappear they usually do so within a month or two. the ebay flipping mass hysteria usually slows after two weeks as well. right now i'm fighting my anx...

i don't know why at all, but lately all i've been in the mood to listen to has been 'the trinity session' by cowboy junkies. it might be some kind of extension of all the mazzy star i'd been listening to before, but for some reason i put it on in my headphones while i was riding the bus a few weeks ...
