Do you have a link for that Dan Auerbach? The link I found was dead.

2/18/2009 7:47:04 PM

i know i'm a homer

but the new u2 (sans a dry spell in the middle for 2 songs or so) is definitely another step in their evolution... almost like a step from joshua to actung...they've got a lot of new sounds for them... only problem is that they slide into "u2" on a couple of choruses when the radiohead stuff was working VERY well for them

on vinyl and with some good headphones, this album would be perfectly suited

but i guess if you hate bono (which is perfectly justified), that's not gonna happen

2/18/2009 7:51:00 PM

I don't mind u2, but they've just never been a band I've been excited about releasing new music. I've just never been into them that way. And I probably won't start now haha

2/18/2009 8:56:17 PM

anyone have a working link to the new dan deacon? i tried the one on the last page, didn't work...

2/18/2009 11:24:01 PM

i don't, but you need to find one asap, because its fucking amazing

2/18/2009 11:40:33 PM

yeah, i kind of hated spiderman of the rings but Bromst is pretty rad

2/19/2009 12:34:33 AM

So this Neko Case album is pretty great, even though the last track is a 30 minute recording of crickets.

2/19/2009 1:00:32 AM

I'm kinda digging this Odawas album a few minutes into the first listen.

2/19/2009 8:19:43 AM

I picked up the Dark Was the Night album last night, i'm running through it for the first time now and am really digging it. I've heard several cuts from SiriusXMU but the others are great too.





anyone here like the Great Lake Swimmers?

then you should purchase it. proceeds go to a good cause.

2/19/2009 12:58:50 PM

I have never heard anyone use "picked up" when referring to downloading something.

2/19/2009 1:05:04 PM

i did purchase it. i assumed me saying that i picked it up would hint at that, as well as the fact that i said i was going to purchase it on the last page.


but to digress, it rocks.

sorry misread. i just assumed you got it from this thread. good on you. carry on.

2/19/2009 1:12:09 PM

i'm a solid four listens into this fanfarlo and have no idea if i like it or not.

2/19/2009 5:06:53 PM

thats usually a bad sign

2/19/2009 5:20:46 PM

I love it.... so far. A very solid debut record.

2/20/2009 1:02:09 PM

2/20/2009 2:15:40 PM

^ yeah, the other one is dead, but I think I might've found it elsewhere. I'll send you a PM if I still need it. Thanks!

2/20/2009 2:33:21 PM

Diego Bernal - For Corners



http://www.antipop.net/forcorners.zip

from http://www.antipop.net/releases/exp15.php:

For Corners is the first full length album from Diego Bernal, a civil rights attorney and beatsmith, located in San Antonio, TX. For Corners is Diego Bernal's love letter to the music, cultures, era and people that nurtured him.

The music is dusty and layered with Latin soul, from the triumphant blasts of horns to the laid back groove of lowrider melodies. It is a call to return to the simplicity and integrity of hip-hop's best moment and an invitation to enjoy a slightly different kind of southern comfort. Not so much dirty south as directly south. The full album is a completely free download. Enjoy!

not bad background music

2/21/2009 6:14:58 PM

might have to check that out...I really enjoy a lot of latin music or music with some ties to latin influences. Thats what made mars volta's "frances the mute" so good to me and why I love the music in Dexter so much

2/21/2009 6:29:55 PM

anyone have a copy of the new AC Newman solo album readily available? For some reason my internet is being strange with my torrent sites.

2/22/2009 1:29:47 PM

nevermind, was able to get it tonight.

2/22/2009 7:38:30 PM

I know the it dropped in 08, but I really like Spinnerette's Ghetto Love EP.

2/22/2009 8:51:47 PM

this won't last long ...

O FUX

2/22/2009 10:49:32 PM

i'm only 3 tracks in and i'm guessing karen o went into this wanting to make a dance record

i really don't know how i feel about that

2/23/2009 12:45:07 AM

i thought it was good, not great.

i'm not the biggest yeah yeah yeahs fan either, though.

2/23/2009 1:36:05 AM

it's pretty great. i was kind of thrown off by all the synths and piano and strings at first, but on second listen i'm really feeling it now.

2/23/2009 9:38:27 AM

I think it's fucking great.

2/23/2009 9:43:42 AM

its catchy but a lot of this kind of stuff never stands the test of time with me. Its stuff that is fun to listen to for awhile, and then after the newness has worn off I almost never go back to it. Can't say that for sure since I just got it but thats what happens with most other stuff that sounds like this to me.

2/23/2009 10:42:27 AM

nice album cover

2/23/2009 10:44:48 AM

^^

i don't know if you especially like the YYYs, but i still listen to fever to tell and especially show your bones on a regular basis.

2/23/2009 12:19:16 PM

oh i was speaking more to this albums sound - mind you on first few listens through. Im not a really big fan anyways but I do have their last 2 as well and like them a fair bit. I was more leaning more towards this album's sound and some of what it reminds me of. Just seems like over the past few years there have been a lot of kinda "dancy" albums that were really catchy but most of them havent stood the test of time with me. I dono, I'm not very good at articulating this ha.

[Edited on February 23, 2009 at 12:41 PM. Reason : ]

2/23/2009 12:41:28 PM

^ I understand what you're saying, and I completely agree.

Very few of the "dancy" albums make a lasting impression once their newness of their simple hooks have worn off.

2/23/2009 12:54:20 PM

new Cursive song

i really dont know what to think about that song

cursive is the type of band that you need to hear the album as a whole as opposed to single tracks
