The new Spoon has been out there a few days.

Thoughts?

I like it, but couldn't considering ranking it in their catalog quite yet.

awesome! I'm looking forward to that also. Not my most anticipated but I forgot it in my earlier list.

the new Xiu Xiu has some good tracks, especially the first one. CHECK IT.

Transference seems pretty underwhelming thus far. A few tracks in.

1/13/2010 5:10:49 AM

Backyard Tire Fire has a new album coming out in February. Haven't seen it anywhere yet, but keep your eyes peeled and post it here if you do.

1/13/2010 8:46:52 AM

wetdog is great. i've been waiting for their lps to come stateside ever since hearing them. i'm tired of waiting. looks like paypal is going to have to do some currency calculations.

if you're into them, i'd also recommend grass widow from california. they don't exactly sound the same, but you'll get the idea when you hear it. the lp and ep are both KILLER.

1/13/2010 11:00:32 AM

oh, and looks like the second wetdog lp will be out on captured tracks this month. i thought they were going to repress the first one, too, but i'm not seeing it anywhere.

1/13/2010 11:22:21 AM

anyone wanna post the Spoon album?

1/13/2010 12:53:07 PM

that Spoon album isn't doing anything for me so far

downloading the new Hot Chip now

new Joanna Newsom Feb 23

1/13/2010 4:56:34 PM

1/13/2010 5:00:29 PM

1/13/2010 5:03:22 PM

sad news

Blood Visions is awesome

1/13/2010 5:12:16 PM

^took me awhile to warm up to it, but yes it is

1/13/2010 5:16:48 PM

i feel like someone else died right around new years and i cannot for the life of me remember who it was, it was on NPR maybe last week

damnit

1/13/2010 5:54:09 PM

1/13/2010 5:56:18 PM

anybody got a clue as to when the new Black Keys is supposed to come out? I heard February, but I haven't seen it floating around yet.

1/13/2010 6:48:36 PM

^ i heard april. maybe it'll leak by february though.

my of my favorite guitar players ever (jack rose) died recently, as did one of the coolest guitar players ever (roland s. howard).

This link has a good short 20 minute documentary on Jay Reatard.

1/14/2010 9:43:30 AM

his death is being investigated as a possible homicide

1/14/2010 6:20:03 PM

Just got the new Titus Andronicus..."No Future Part 3" is just as funny as Part 1 and Part 2.

1/15/2010 12:44:22 PM

Yeah I just grabbed it, too. I'm enjoying it.

1/15/2010 3:55:52 PM

link for that titus andronicus?

1/15/2010 4:33:36 PM

Anyone else like the new OK Go album? Leaps and bounds above their other two albums for me

1/16/2010 6:20:30 AM

no one in this thread listens to ok go

not a judgment, just the truth

1/16/2010 8:15:36 AM

I don't like either of their other albums at all, this is much better, just sayin

1/16/2010 8:40:03 AM

I don't listen to Ok Go, but I will admit that I enjoy the fuck out of the new single (WTF?).

1/16/2010 1:17:55 PM

one life stand is a smooth record.

1/16/2010 4:50:11 PM

^^The video for that song is awesome.
(as though that isn't to be expected from Ok Go)

Not a fan of most of their songs, really... but the dudes can make some damn good visuals.

[Edited on January 16, 2010 at 5:07 PM. Reason : .]

1/16/2010 5:04:41 PM

that Titus Andronicus album felt a little long. think i like the first album more

One Life Stand didn't do much for me either. i really like The Warning, whatever their last album was called was alright too

really hoping the Magnetic Fields and Joanna Newsom albums leak soon

maggy fields: hxxp://rapidshare.com/files/334151348/MaFiRe_Vic.zip

and the TA album is good but not as good as the first one, a little boring indeed

1/16/2010 5:41:11 PM

I have not heard of any of the bands/artists on this page.

1/16/2010 5:41:14 PM

you shouldn't be proud of your ignorance.

probably because you listen to motley crue and def leppard

Anyone have a good link for Surfer Blood or w/e they were called that people keep on talking bout ITT? Can't seem to find a torrent etc.

If I ever heard someone refer to The Magnetic Fields as "Maggy Fields", I'd be within my rights to slap that person in the balls. Sounds like an ill-humored female rights activist.

i had a conversation with claudia once and she called the band that

i considered that as good an endorsement as any

Oh, you mean you accosted her after one of their shows?

1/19/2010 7:20:00 AM

you do realize that people in bands are people too. and they occasionally have voluntary conversations with people.

1/19/2010 7:55:02 AM

does anyone listen to "if these trees could talk"...kind of an isis/explosions in the sky sound. i can't get enough of this band, as i think they do this style better than anyone else at the moment

No, I don't realize that. Please explain it to me.

I'm sorry, Vin Bandit. I'm sure Claudia will be proud of you for referring to them as Maggy Fields. She definitely gives two shits. My fault.

BTW, Stephin Merritt told me you're an obnoxiously self-righteous douchebag who forces his opinions on people. I considered that as good an endorsement as any.

To be honest, I just don't like the way this dude seems to talk to people, skimming through the boards. So, I'm giving it back to him. Hypocritical? Yes. Fun? Definitely.
