I needed somewhere to profess my undying love for the first Lynyrd Skynyrd album. They were SO. FUCKING. GOOD. when they put out Pronounced. It's just a boogie fest, and they've got so much swagger.

The new Simpsons episode opened with I Was A Boy From School by Hot Chip and closed with Winter's Love by Animal Collective. So weird.

I also noted that one of the luxury ships was named the Nadir, I assumed in reference to the DFW essay A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again. Sure enough, the episode last night was named A Supposedly Fun Thing Bart Will Never Do Again. Simpsons: On my wavelength.

I am listening to Archers of Loaf for the first time, specifically White Trash Heroes, and holy shit these guys are great!

I just started listening to them recently as well! Icky Mettle is soo good, I need to check out their other releases.

[nosurprises12]

I wasn't really sure where to post this, but these two new Four Tet tracks are the tits (especially "Ocoras")

[MissingPerson]

So I've listened to pretty much all The Knife and Austra that there is to hear, can somebody recommend me something awesome in the same vein please? I'd be terribly grateful.

[SoulDischarge]

I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for, but have you heard W by Planningtorock from last year?

[MissingPerson]

Not yet, but I'll give it a bash, cheers.

That does remind me though, if somebody has Austra's Spellwork handy to group for me that would be spiffing, 'cause I can't find an MP3 version without skipping errors.

[SoulDischarge]

I do believe you've gotten more quaintly old country in your absence.

[MissingPerson]

Yeah, it turns out you can forget how to speak internet.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I need to start using "give it a bash" and "that would be spiffing" a whole lot more.

[Gribbz]

I wonder if Air will ever make a good album again.

[Gribbz]

My hopes are not high.

[buddy]

this is happening, for some reason

[send me ctrpllrs]

Anybody heard The Wicked Tinkers? There is a cop who comes by my work often and I said something to him about wanting the week to be over so the Mogwai shows would be here. He asked what kind of band, told him a little bit about them blah blah. Anyways, he brought them up, said I'd check them out. It is an American Celtic band. I'm most of the way through their s/t and it is pretty fucking awesome. Pleasantly surprised.

Response to old post but: Yeah, seriously. I will go as far that my love for their material covers the 70s fully. I mean, sure, they had some dumb songs but hot damn if they didn't have some great ones.

[bmack86]

Agreed. Pretty much everything they did with the "original" lineup was great

Best Band With a Bad Band Name Ever

[PotVsKtl]

I'd say they're neck-and-neck with Yo la Tengo.

[Hannahrain]

Arab Strap.

[PotVsKtl]

Are people embarrassed for listening to Hot Chip yet?

Yesterday I listened to Brainiac's Hissing Prigs in Static Couture for the first time, and I think I've found a new band (that I should've been listening to when they were active) to get excited about.

Yes, indeed. So great, and it's such a shame what happened to them. Getting to see them a bunch in the early 90's was one of the few perks of growing up near Dayton, OH. Anyway, work backward from Hissing Prigs. Smack Bunny Baby and Bonsai Superstar are even better.

[bmack86]

I ever so slightly disagree with Rob here. Brainiac was a GREAT band, but I think that their catalog goes thusly: Bonsai Superstar > Hissing Prigs > Electro-Shock for President > Smack Bunny Baby.

And if you like them, check out John Schmersal's post-Brainiac band, Enon. High Society is a damn near perfect album that never got adequate recognition when it came out.

I am going to the dentist again today - actually a periodontist - and then back to my dentist again in a few weeks once I heal so I can get a crown... so I made a mix to distract me whilst stuck on a bus in traffic hoping I make it back to the city in time for my appointment. It is not quite what I would have picked specifically to listen to whilst the drilling and sawing is going on but I wouldn't say no.

[xuclarockerx]

I'm curious what people here think about that Dead Sara group ("Weatherman"). Shit, or refreshing hard rock?

[bballarl]

I had been meaning to check out Insignificance by Jim O'Rourke for years. It is, in fact, as good as the reviews have indicated.
