i'm also gonna scoop up those jon spencer reissues

5/21/2010 2:06:16 PM

I would like to see The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion live. I know they're playing the Pitchfork Music Festival, but that's the only date I know from them. For some reason, their website doesn't have any tour dates listed.

5/21/2010 3:46:52 PM

thumbs up

5/21/2010 9:33:54 PM

Would someone please give me some of this Drughorse Collective shit? Specifically the Love Language and the Light Pines?

Do they even have albums?

5/22/2010 3:18:56 PM

The Love Language have two albums. The first came out on Bladen County last year. The second comes out on Merge on July 13.

The Light Pines have a Drughorse split with Max Indian, but I'm not sure it's in stores.

Max Indian and Ryan Gustafson both have records, as does Mount Moriah.

5/22/2010 3:51:49 PM

Well, do you have links to these albums, sir?

5/22/2010 4:26:34 PM

Other than the Love Language album (the first one; the second one hasn't leaked yet to my knowledge), you probably aren't going to find any of those albums anywhere online. You probably just have to show up at one of their shows and buy the CD.

For future reference, I'm not going to post links to anything local that can be purchased, especially if it can be purchased in person by the people who made it. Support your local musicians.

5/22/2010 9:14:21 PM

Ryan Gustafson bored me. Still does.

Light Pines are good, though.

and this new Love Language is the best album I've heard in quite some time.

Ok, I was gonna purchase that album until I saw the pic of the fucking fixie underneath.

Fuck

That.

5/23/2010 1:59:08 PM

I have very special friends.

5/23/2010 2:58:06 PM

^lucky you. "heart to tell" has me longing for more.

5/23/2010 3:45:01 PM

ha, that's one of the weaker jams for me. and it's still stellar.

to be honest, a good friend of my fiance's loaned us a hard copy...actual printed and pressed fresh from distributor. no idea how she got it, or from whom she got it. and I'm not telling who she is, either.

don't worry, I will buy it.


And when is the new Arcade Fire supposed to come out? I need to prepare for the pending immersion.

no date has been announced yet

have you heard the tidbits of the 2 new songs yet?

5/23/2010 7:19:35 PM

yes sir. too tid-bitty to really take anything from it, though.

I'm sure I'll at least like it, though.

That's a single-speed, not a fixie.

5/23/2010 7:51:21 PM

the new menomena lp is pretty cool. hope i get to catch them touring for this one since i missed the friend and foe tour.

There's also a The Love Language/Let's Wrestle split you can probably still find at Schoolkids. I know it's available through Merge.

The Drughorse split is Ryan Gustafson, Max Indian and The Light Pines. You can find it at CD Alley and Chaz's Bull City.

The Light Pines have an album out of demos, I'm not sure if that's at CD Alley or not, but it's probably available at shows.

Ryan also has a split with Josh Moore that you have to order online. I highly recommend it.

The Tomahawks have a free EP, http://thetomahawks.bandcamp.com/

Josh Moore has a self-titled CD-R, http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/moorejosh/from/viglink

Jeff Crawford has a couple releases, Something For Everyone and Love Is The New Hip.

And then there's the Arbor Ridge comp, which has Drughorse artists and a few loosely connected bands, http://arborridgestudios.bandcamp.com/

way into this new menomena lp. the harmonies are awesome.

5/25/2010 7:03:22 PM

For some reason I thought Hank III was metal. I picked up the album today. Whoopsie. Not sure if I like or not. I have only listened to 3 songs.

5/25/2010 9:19:01 PM

why on earth

5/25/2010 9:38:20 PM

Haha I know, but I swear someone told me he was and I saw someone post it in here like they were looking forward to it so I was like what heck. Maybe it was just that he was more vulgar. It was an impulse buy at best buy. It was like $9.

edit.. ah I see, he played with Superjoint Ritual.That must have been what I heard.

I miss seeing Josh Moore. Saw him live for the first time sometime around 2000 and always made it out to see Beloved around NC. I hate that I haven't gotten to see him much as a solo project but I highly recommend his recordings.

yep, this one could surpass I Am the Fun Blame Monster and Friend and Foe

I'm really surprised by how good the new Love Language record is (from hearing it played by a friend). That's not a slight to him/them by any means, but I have been very impressed. I cannot wait for a vinyl pressing on July 13th.

5/26/2010 12:44:56 AM

Hank III has been in at least one metal band. Superjoint Ritual is the one I know. Pretty damned heavy.

^YES.

[Edited on May 26, 2010 at 9:23 AM. Reason : incredible.]

5/26/2010 9:23:39 AM

^Yeah, so imagine my surprise when the first thing I hear is a fiddle when I pop in the album

i concur. the arrangements on mines are killer - so many shifts within songs that you almost think it's a new song, until it brings you back again. my favorites so far are "oh pretty boy, you're such a big boy" and "tithe".

5/26/2010 6:38:32 PM

August 2nd

pre-ordering now

5/27/2010 10:43:31 AM

^yesssssss...first two songs are awesome, but the album cover is pretty bad. to be fair, though, the neon bible cover didn't look very good until i saw the actual physical product. maybe they'll do something cool again for the packaging.

5/27/2010 11:13:58 AM

pre-order came with digital downloads of both songs and a poster

and I am about 1,000% sure they are going to offer a special edition soon, but oh well

5/27/2010 6:45:16 PM

I really cant stop listening to that Wolf Parade.

5/27/2010 7:44:11 PM

Schoolkids got in the Arcade Fire double A-side single...I would come in as soon as you can if you want one. When we're out, we're out (and I think we'll be out early tomorrow if not tonight).

5/27/2010 8:12:34 PM

got one

rules

still not sure how i feel about "month of may"

also curious as to what the catalog number of this thing is

5/28/2010 3:01:06 AM

I'm gonna try to skip out at some point today and grab one.

5/28/2010 8:23:34 AM

I'm digging the Avi Buffalo album so far. The vocals may erode my interest after a few listens, although 'Truth Sets In' will still remain a regular on rotation.

5/28/2010 8:48:06 AM

The Morning Benders- Big Echo

one of, if not, the best albums of 2010.

seriously...check it out

5/28/2010 9:11:31 AM

^i think a lot of people already have checked it out...it's pretty good, definitely not the best album of 2010 though

^x4 I think I actually like "Month of May" even more than "The Suburbs"...they're both awesome, though.

[Edited on May 28, 2010 at 10:29 AM. Reason : .]

5/28/2010 10:28:34 AM

If anybody hasn't heard Cults yet, they're pretty great.

5/28/2010 10:42:04 AM

^That 7" is awesome

5/28/2010 10:45:37 AM

"month of may" vaguely reminds me of "antichrist television blues"

5/28/2010 10:45:52 AM

I could see that. The bass or rhythm guitar (not sure which) is so low and heavy it sounds almost metal. After a few more listens, I changed my mind. I still like "Month of May," but "The Suburbs" is definitely the better song.

agreed.

i've been listening to it for the last several weeks and it's insanely good. that opening track, "excuses" is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, song this year.

you can really hear the Grizzly Bear influence on it too (produced by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear)
