So go see KEN mode and Torche in your town. Both slayed in Oakland tonight.

Turns out the new Queens of the Stone Age album really does slay. I'm glad they are back.

It would be awesome if you could upload Classics...all the links I've tried are dead. The UR I snagged was actually Interstellar Fugitives, which I'm looking forward to listening to later. I don't...

Oh shit, that sounds awesome. You should upload that shit. Do people still use Soulseek?

I've been downloading both volumes of Deepest Shade of Techno, Model 500's Classics, Kevin Saunderson's...

I've spent the morning downloading Detroit techno comps and anthologies, if that counts for anything. Too much good music.

The two SNL tracks were fucking sick. Super intense. He keeps pushing forward.

Forever Changes was my first pick in the great Tom's Record Collection Draft of 2006. So good.

Yeah, I used to have that on my hard drive...let me see if I still do. Regardless, download that.

This is a good middle ground between Philly soul and disco...this jam was big at the Loft in NYC when all that shit was going down.

Danny Krivit is...

These are good choices. The first three Chic albums are great.

The Saturday Night Fever OST is another good starting point. The Bee Gees jams on there are fucking great:

I hope people use this album as a gateway to discover Giorgio Moroder, Chic, and other awesome stuff.



No one in here that I've read has shit all over it. There's a middle ground between...

The hyperbole train had already left the station.

The reviewer was probably referring to the length of the tracks or just hadn't heard disco before. So much to digest.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see that not everyone is falling over themselves to declare the new Daft Punk an instant classic or the future of dance music or something.

Congratulations Daft Punk on making their version of a Chic record. I enjoyed it on first listen, but it isn't particularly amazing. Nile Rodgers 100% makes this record tick.

I hope, if nothing...

Yes.



This. It was my first Coachella. It was extraordinarily hot out all weekend...I think the KROQ tent said the temperature was 113 on Sunday. Regardless of how accurate that was, it was...

I have to miss the two nights of Boris in SF. Not happy. I miss them every fucking time they come to town. On the bright side, I get to see Torche/KEN mode one of those nights, so that is a plus.

Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun

So Metz destroyed my face last night. Again. That is all.

Metz and White Lung are going to rule so hard tonight. So stoked.

Twice. At Coachella and at a club. Both were really good...Coachella was probably slightly better.

I'm not saying the hype is completely undeserved -- they are very good in a lot of ways. I just...

You know...like songs!

Metz and White Lung are going to destroy my face tonight.

Savages are cool. They have the look, the presence, and they've marketed themselves EXTREMELY well. They are the total package...except for the tunes.

That's not to say I don't like them,...

Coming to an ATP event near you!

They can play that long because very few Cure songs are physically demanding. That said, it is fucking awesome they play marathon sets like that. I want to see them live again soon.

My friend snagged Biggie for me at Coachella. They had a couple of copies left at 1-2-3-4 Go! though when I was in there. I think they were snapped up soon thereafter.

Found most everything I wanted yesterday. Put that Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me reissue, Titus Andronicus 12" and Sub Pop comp back so I didn't go over my self-imposed financial barrier, but hopefully I...

I haven't heard this yet, but I'm kind of scared. Angles was pretty good, but I used to love this band so much and it's weird not getting stoked on their albums...

I forget why I missed them at FYF. I was just so exhausted for before their Regency show that there was no way I could have done it. I really regret it, but I'm hoping they keep playing shows on...

It seems like both bands will be a working concern to some extent going forward though. Which is awesome.

I missed Quicksand at FYF last year and at the Regency this year for various reasons. I keep kicking myself because I am currently obsessed, but what can you do.

Yeah, they were onto something there...

I guess this is the album they recorded after United By Fate but never released. I just preordered a copy. I've only heard one song but it's very them.



Again, only...

Is anyone else stoked on this new Rival Schools album that isn't new at all? Because I am. Jiving nicely with my current Quicksand obsession too.

Plague Soundscapes

I just made a similar financial decision regarding the new KEN Mode album because it fucking slays. No regrets.

I'm already going weekend one haha. So. Not really excited about a $350 mistake though.

I was kind of afraid of that. Which sucks.

I figure this is as good of a spot as any to ask if anyone needs or knows someone who needs a weekend two Coachella pass for face value.

I've posted a Craigslist ad and posted in the Passes...

I'm selling my weekend two pass for face value ($349). I'm happy to meet up anywhere around the Bay Area that is mutually convenient (I am located in Berkeley.)

I will also be at the festival...

That's awesome. They are really good. The Bloodlands 12" on Gilead Media is going to destroy.

Yeah, stoked about both. I had put off buying the Fire Theft album for 10 years, so I figured it was finally time.

Craneway is great (at least as a building, dunno how it is for concerts) and Point Richmond is nice. Definitely a drive-to show though.

I haven't been there for a concert, but it's in a beautiful spot in Point Richmond...right by the Rosie the Riveter museum. They do roller derby bouts and other stuff there.

Also, I've only gone...
