The new Modest Mouse album is a good pop album but I don't know how good of a Modest Mouse album it is.
I shall listen to the rest of this now! |

This is alright. Nothing worth nutting about though. This is coming from a guy who would list The Lonesome Crowded West on a list of his favorite albums!
Also, I really really hope this is not the final mix of this. The guitars are way too fucking loud and drown out Brock constantly. However, a few songs seem to be missing transitions, and track 13 is cut off abruptly, which leads me to believe that there's still a bit of work to be done on this.
I think I'm gonna leave this alone until it's released. The album's clearly not meant to be heard like this. |

Dudes, the new Panda Bear (of Animal Collective) album Person Pitch is fucking awesome! If you like the Beach Boys (pet sounds, not kokomo), even a little, you will adore this album. If you've heard his previous album Young Prayer, well its not really like this album. Young Prayer was mostly him singing with acoustic guitar strums, Person Pitch is full on produced with a wall of sounds. Its glorious. Check it!

I've been meaning to share something from the recent Drudkh album Blood in Our Wells here.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/23gnn0
I can't stop listening to this. It's Ukrainian folk metal, I suppose. Beautiful song from one of the best 2006 records I first heard after 2006.

DRUDKH! YES!
Keys to getting massive enjoyment out these dudes is this.
1. Get in the car.
2. Drive for a really long time (at least the duration of the album)
3. Nighttime'
4. Either really fucking cold (it snowing helps) or if you have no cold weather, Rain storm I guess.
5. More the loud, more the better.
6. Have patience.
Plus look at the cover art! It must suck to live in the Ukraine.

Right on. I can't wait for the their new one this year: Estrangement.
lol lonely music
Also, thought I'd paste the Aquarius Records review of the new Skinny Puppy in here. They've pretty much nailed it.
| Quote: |
When over the course of many years a cutting edge band's signature edge has been shamelessly pillaged -- and in turn become a mainstay of the edge-of-mainstream -- what are they to do when they decide to reunite? March out the old standards? Hopefully not. Resurface with a potent new strain? Perhaps. Ideally not end up sounding like a shadow of their former selves and a sound alike of younger upstarts. Unlike other veteran bands who've reformed after lengthy absences, Skinny Puppy fortunately haven't done the former. However, unlike other groundbreaking phoenixes such as Killing Joke, they also haven't returned to their fiery pulpit to school the new generation.
SP has always been detailed, monumentally monstrous and rich in intriguing sounds, but for Mythmaker, the group's interplay of chance/cut-ups and spin-the-radio-dial distortion adventures seem to have vanished. The difference seems to mostly lie in the choice to stop using tapes of media sources -- documentary television, radio, European and Canadian underground psychological horror films, and underreported war-reality-radio-broadcasts as surrealistic textures. This is most noticeable in two vital areas: the group's trademark collaged soundscapes crafted by Cevin Key -- now so few and far between, but markedly more than on 2004's reunion album The Greater Wrong Of The Right -- sound much less 'hands on' sculpted and more reliant on software rubik's-grids. In general, there's an absence of friction, tension and of ill-tempered spectral presences. As well, Nivek Ogre's 'singing' (i.e, not his former textural guttural Artaud-isms) are almost completely audible, being processed through a vocoder, with a heavy dose of 'stutter-edit' and auto-tune set to 'death grip' (we actually wish that they were even further effected, preferably to the point of incoherence because some of the rhyming lyrics are shockingly simplistic. Hard to believe that they came from the same poison pen as "Testure", "Harsh Stone White" or "Who's Laughing Now?" from VIVIsectVI, 1988). Ultimately, Mythmaker's atmospheres feel something like Richard Devine's industrial IDM processed through a faux-metal 'zombie America' video game soundtrack. One thing that has returned to a more prominent and welcome role is Key's artfully crafted drumming and percussion sounds. No playing shows up like the mesmerizing kraut-funk of Tear Garden's Last Man To Fly era recordings, mind you, but it's nice to hear some wood and metal mixed in with the filter swept electro-raindrop snares. Some of Ken Marshall's best mixing work can usually be found on Cevin Key's projects, and as usual, it slams. Overall, Mythmaker is a better record than its predecessor (although it does have a couple of 'oops' songs unfortunately and weirdly one is the opener "Magnifishit"!), and shows the group to be at the stylistic apex / end of this particular version of the 'Puppy sound.
Yep, SP are doing things they haven't done before, and for better or for worse -- you decide -- they've moved on, and are leaving the Skinny Puppy of old on the mantle to continue its disembodied haunt. |

listened to Marnie Stern's In Advance of The Broken Arm. she plays a mean guitar, goes well with hill's drumming. her lyrics and the sincere way she sings them comes off as "academic optimist," kind of disappointing. the girl needs to put down her textbooks and drop some acid. great guitar playing though. i've only listened to the album once, so, perhaps i completely missed the brilliance of her songwriting, though i don't like her voice enough to give it another listen, so.

i'll give it another listen. it just feels so safe, in certain ways (vocally, more lyrically). it'll probably sell well because of this, so i guess that's something.

Chompers, i've only listened to a few bits of "In advance of the Broken Arm", but im liking it. I have not paid attention to the lyrics really though. The one thing I am really liking, is that Hill is playing more contained. I love his blitzkrieg playing and all, but its really nice to hear how good he is at "normal" drumming, or closer to normal that he is known for.
Her voice is a the one thing that could kill this for me, I don't mind it at the moment, and its the range where I could either grow to enjoy it or really dislike it. And you are right, the lyrics do seem a bit more nerdy than weirdo. But thats also sort of a nice welcome.

Blind Guardian's live albums are all really excellent. I wonder if they're this consistently good in non-recorded live shows.
I wonder if they're coming to Detroit anytime soon.
Edit: Oh dammit, they played in Detroit on November 25th, and they're not coming back to the US during this tour.
Blind Guardian is probably my favourite band. |

Yes! I could show you where to download the whole thing, but I also think it'd be cool if you were to buy it, should you like it enough. Trust me, it's worth a purchase. (I recommend Aquarius, as usual.)

This is the best record of the year so far. Its so god damn joyful. One of those albums where it feels like no matter what you are doing, it would be better if Person Pitch were playing. Get up on this dudes.
Oh, and this new Arcade Fire is not very exciting. This new theme is just not as good as the last one.

Well I listened to it for the first time the other day while I was drawing and stuff, and the whole time I was thinking "Geez, these guys are trying a little too damn hard to have some prolific religious politico deal! When the hell will this hook me into its world like Funeral did?"
With Funeral after that first listen it was like a rough draft of a city plan had been sketched out, and over repeat listens it all filled in with roads and buildings where all these events took place. And then it became so familiar it was like Groundhogs day, you could encounter the same goings on and skew them if you wanted.
So with Neon Bibles thump of a first listen, today I put on the headphones and listened to it while I surfed the net. And man, the first half was like a real slow pull by the back of the neck. Just kind of like, "Yeah, ok, knock it off." The second half things sort of spark, like the pulling stops and you hit your head on the floor because you were so bored that you weren't really paying attention anymore to being pulled. So you get startled to attention and expect it to take off, but then you end up just sitting there in the middle of this old church basement, and its not some cool European dracula church, its like a central Minnesota pot luck white-walled church where old ladies hang out -- unexciting.
Ill give it another go, but I am expecting it to get worse.

Man, how can you not find this exciting? Black Mirror, Keep the Car Running, Intervention, and Antichrist Television Blues have nervous energy in spades.
I think I just enjoy the Arcade Fire when they are at their most Bruce Springsteen.
Fair enough, then! |

Dude, what are your cycling avatars from?
Oh, on Arcade Fire. Its not just the music, its everything they are doing to promote the record too. The art work, and the whole fake infomercial thing. Its just screaming of this other kind of element that just feels outside. Like someone came in and was like, "Ill make this dog hunt!" and waved his wand over everything. It just feels like they went too hard on this, and just over shot the mark. And the whole time they were doing this they just skipped over on containing that warm sort of lantern heat they had on the first album. Maybe this will all change 3 albums from now or something where every album feels completely different and has its own unique theme. I dunno.

Currently spinning on my record player:
- Diane: The Twin Peaks tapes of Dale Cooper
- A tiny plastic figure with a head made of a block of tofu
- The Octopus Project/Black Moth Super Rainbow: Spiracle
- Pete Seeger: Ha Ha Thisaway
- Porn Sword Tobacco: Freedom Commercial (Every time I listen to this song I get a slowed-down vhs tape mental image of Ronald Reagan riding past a crowd in an open-top limo, waving to the crowd, ticker tape flying everywhere. The entire musical language of that album seems culled from some wretched tape for an elementary social studies class)
- Stunt Rock: I'm Working Out So I Can Fight Off People That May Prevent Me From Trying To Kill Myself ( sad music )
- White Noise: The Visitations
- Last night's chinese food container
- BarbieInBondage.mp3

The Tzadik New Japan series.
I haven't actually paid attention to any of the promotional material :( I didn't know this album existed until it leaked!
The album isn't warm and fuzzy, that's why I like it. It's damn harrowing, scared, nervous, twitchy stuff, and that's not something that's easy to pull off right. I appreciate any verse-chorus rock song that can put me on edge like a few tracks on Neon Bible! |

Ive heard one of his releases, called "REGRET" with a big long sentence fallowing it. And its really good but yeah, super sad stuff.
In case those not in the know, its all like sound collage stuff. If you ever heard The Books, he sounds like them, but with a lot more obvious movie samples and stuff.

Regret: The Musical Part 2 (Tomorrow I Am Going To Do It)
That's the album that song is from. I would kind of sly away from Books comparisons for him. I mean, they're similar in that they use collage elements, but the resulting musics are very different. Vision made a more apt comparison to Controller 7.
You should listen to the split ep stunt rock has with venetian snares! It's unlistenable! He's also vowed to give up live music performances, choosing instead to pursue a career in comedy.

listened to Orthrelm's OV this morning, Lightning Bolt's Wonderful Rainbow this afternoon, and am now listening to Xiu Xiu's Knife Play.
every time i listen to lightning bolt, the more i appreciate what brian gibson does with a bass guitar. there are so many different ways to listen to them. |

Ive only listened to that once, and while I liked it, did not really see a point to listening to it again. Plus I lost a little respect when I found out thats a really edited together album. Personally I prefer Mick Barr's record under the name Ocrilim Anoint, that album is beautiful.

i don't really have much trouble forgiving OV for it's shortcomings, it makes up for them conceptually (though, yeah, it would have been cooler if they'd done it in one take).

i'll check this out, haven't heard it.
i listened to that marnie stern album another time or two, and her delivery has grown on me a bit. still don't like some of her lyrics (i.e: a song titled "every line means something" ... i lol'd). the last song on the album, "patterns of a diamond ceiling" is really, really good. |

I just figured that the set would end at the 10:20 mark because Mick's guitar would just pop or something.

Someone sometime ago was saying that Beaches & Canyons by Black Dice was better than their fallow up album Creature Comforts, well I just listened to Beaches & Canyons, and while its very good, its not better than Creature Comforts. Beaches & Canyons does have field recordings of waves slapping up against the shore however that are very very nice.
I also changed my signature to featuring the cover of the Panda Bear 12" for "Bros" vinyl, and a link to his myspace where you can hear the AMAZING "Comfy in Nautica" track.
