BSS and Public Enemy

i will be dropping the $120 for the wristband

3/30/2010 11:42:30 PM

^ that's what I'm thinking as well.

3/30/2010 11:43:30 PM

$120? Fuck, give Grayson a handy and it'll drop to $118 easy.

3/30/2010 11:50:26 PM

actually, depending on the sched of the city plaza shows i might just get the venue wristband and then pick up one of the big shows

keep in mind that kings will be open by that point

3/30/2010 11:52:16 PM

Doesn't sound like there's a huge difference between the $85 ticket and the $120 wristband. But, we'll see with the official announcement tomorrow or Thursday. But, totally agree: BSS and Public Enemy make the ticket totally worth it.

I know where a large chunk of my birthday money is going

3/30/2010 11:59:01 PM

lol, I do the same but in reverse.

I have never listened to Okkervil but I grew up listening to Overkill so every time I see it on here I have to look twice.

i did that at pitchfork a couple years back...not that great. with that being said, i'll probably get a VIP.

could someone please put up the new deftones album?

3/31/2010 4:56:34 PM

Merge just announced Record Store Day exclusive 7-inches:

- Picture disc of Superchunk "Misfits and Mistakes" 7" b/w the Meatwad version, all copies signed by Superchunk

- Telekinesis 7" with three new tracks

- Let's Wrestle/Love Language split 7" with a new track by each

I'll definitely be snagging the latter two if I can.

3/31/2010 5:05:45 PM

New Sharon Jones is out there.

3/31/2010 6:18:31 PM

what.cd freeleach is happening now through the weekend

3/31/2010 7:20:45 PM

This Sharon Jones has a lot more of the Motown sound than her previous records. Pretty cool to hear them mix it up.

Downloaded that new Harlem record, Hippies, because they're playing at Hopscotch. Pretty damn good sunshiney garage pop. I like it.

4/3/2010 12:29:26 PM

i just use the tags and the "hits" and "seeder" headers to find stuff i might not have snagged otherwise

like i like wild beasts so i used "falsetto" as the tag, or liking beach house so use "baroque.pop"

4/3/2010 2:42:15 PM

Anyone going to see Arctic Monkeys on tues?

4/3/2010 4:55:42 PM

haha I, too, have downloaded everything I could ever want to listen to this weekend

4/3/2010 6:52:43 PM

If you guys are looking to boost your ratio, download the Complete Beethoven Edition. I've been getting a pretty steady rate of leechers since I started and its never dropped below 50 kb/s.

Why does Japan always get the best version of albums?

4/4/2010 12:53:59 PM

Because they're super-expensive in Japan, so they add a bunch of bonus tracks to get people to buy the domestic edition. It's usually cheaper to buy an import from the West than it is to get the Japanese version, so they add a bunch of bonus tracks to increase the domestic version's value.

4/4/2010 3:35:33 PM

i needs to get that new Sharon Jones

4/4/2010 4:52:03 PM

WHY DID TOKYO POLICE CLUB HAVE TO GET PRETTY

4/4/2010 6:36:10 PM

Alright. So I got everything in this 2010 thread, everything in the top 500 albums of all time, top 100 most active of the day, everything in baroque.pop, trip.hop, north.carolina, neo.soul, and finished off most of my discographies.

Can you guys suggest anything that I really need to check out, especially things from before 2009. I'm open to everything but hiphop, emo, mainstream country, or the harder metals.

4/4/2010 8:58:03 PM

nvm I just found the 1001 Albums you must hear before you die

4/4/2010 10:11:38 PM

You do realize that not everything is freeleach, right?

4/4/2010 10:14:03 PM

It's just about everything.

4/4/2010 11:05:51 PM

gonna be impossible to seed anything after this week.

4/5/2010 2:00:20 PM

not knowing what you're into it's hard to recommend something blindly

but listening to this new sharon jones reminds me that everyone should have the entire sharon jones catalog

4/5/2010 3:21:47 PM

^I just need recommendations like that. Judging by your setlists at the Jackpot, I'm sure you've got some recommendations.

4/5/2010 8:14:20 PM

i ordered my sharon jones this morning

when it gets here, i'm gonna put on high heels and start pouring sweat dancing

4/5/2010 8:17:14 PM

jchill: If you don't have any King Khan & the Shrines or King Khan & BBQ Show records, get on that shit. Also, both the new Future Islands LP and the EP are pretty sweet.

[Edited on April 5, 2010 at 10:37 PM. Reason : .]

4/5/2010 10:33:16 PM

got everything but the Future Islands new EP/LP as they aren't freeleech for some reason

4/5/2010 10:41:38 PM

Four Tet, Javelin, Double Dagger EP, Black Tambourine, Harlem, Cults

4/5/2010 10:46:58 PM

the Double EP wasn't freeleech, but got the rest.

I just started getting into music/local music last year and just harvested my friend's collection (the one that got me into what) and have constantly been looking for new sounds. I remember the night that I discovered neo soul, lol.

4/5/2010 10:54:12 PM

this band, Internet Forever, has a song cover the walls that I like. Check them out.

http://www.myspace.com/internetforever

and also the new Swanton bombs album is meh. The Johnny Foreigner is a good new listen I guess, just to name some new stuff that hasn't been mentioned.

4/6/2010 5:42:45 AM

Do you guys have any recommendations from the iTunes radio stations out there? I listen to WKNC regularly, and Xponential radio as well. Looking for some others, but there are just so many.
