I'm never allowed to talk to anybody ever again.

Who is Will Oldham then I google it and found out it that's dude from Chavez.

[bmack86]

So, which one of you dropped the ball by not letting me know about these Amalgamated Sons of Rest before now? Molina and Oldham BELONG together.

[Hannahrain]

You're like a comedy sketch, GB.

Bryan, I stopped talking about it because I started to feel like I was bending the world's ear. You must not have been listening properly.

[bmack86]

The world and I aren't on speaking terms, so I don't tend to hear things said in its vicinity. You knew that.

[Hannahrain]

If you hadn't reamed the world's girlfriend at that Halloween party a few years back you'd get to know all sorts of things said to it and all sorts of shots heard 'round it. It's not my fault you can't control yourself when a neighboring planet's topography is terraformed in a pleasing way.

[Hannahrain]

This might be the liquor talking but I like the way your tectonic plates shift when you bat your massive planetary eyelashes.

[Hannahrain]

That is one unfortunate hell of a volcano zit, though.

[bmack86]

Is that seismic activity, or are you just happy to see me?

[ods..]

At ATP I drunkenly and shyly told Will Oldham how underrated ASOR is and how it deserves more attention and instead of saying thanks and turning back to his own life, he shook my hand and started talking poignantly about how he'd been thinking about it a lot lately because we'd just had the anniversary of September 11th and the three of them were recording that album during the aftermath and I just stood there like I was made of bricks, sputtered out how much I'd liked his set earlier and thanks for it, and then walked away like I'd just embarrassed myself on national television.

That's so dope

That tends to happen on here.

not sure where else to drop this... so by default.

As much as I want to hate them for the blatant MGMT rip-off that is their song "Houdini", Foster the People's "Helena Beat" is absolutely the most infectious pop song since MGMT's "Kids."

Last night I was at a bar celebrating the finalization of a case, and I told my co-workers that I was going to be a Ramone for halloween. One of the investigators told me that she knew Dee Dee Ramone pretty well because he used to hang out with her and her boyfriend Richard Hell back in the day.

Respect.

Barn Owl doing their best Sunn O))) impression. This is a good thing.

Every time I see this commercial during football Beirut's "A Sunday Smile" gets stuck in my head.

Same here. Parts of the song definitely does sound like it.

[TallGuyCM]

HAHAHAHAHA WTF that really IS Beirut?!?!? Wow...I figured it was just a random little car commercial jingle. That's SO funny.

[Gribbz]

HAHAHAHAHA WTF that really IS Beirut?!?!?

It's more Zach just fucking around in his bedroom. He's super into electronic music apparently. I read some interview a while back where he cited Aphex Twin as a big influence.

[TallGuyCM]

Yeah, but regardless that's an actual Beirut track. I've only listened to that EP a handful of times.

[mountmccabe]

Apparently Parts & Labor are going on hiatus as of early next year.

They have started on a run of shows, each focusing on one album. A CMJ gig was their Receivers show, Friday the 18th of November is their Mapmakers show and Friday the 16th of December is their Stay Afraid one. I was considering going to one of these but with this news I am pretty sure I will have to go to both.

The 10th anniversary is on February 24th, with Oneida and Talk Normal.

I completely ignored this band because I don't have time to keep up with every mediocre indie buzz band out there, but every time I'm somewhere in public that's playing top 40 radio and "Pumped Up Kicks" comes on, it's a breath of fresh air. Not sure how that ended up getting so much radio play. Maybe not an out and out great song but a surprising amount of fun for something getting that level of exposure.

What kind of person would actually date Richard Hell? I fucking love Blank Generation and all but it's one of the greatest statements of self absorbed prickdom of all time.

[SoulDischarge]

It's a shame Lester Bangs isn't around to offer his opinion on Lulu.

[bmack86]

Ellen is entirely too nice and matronly, so she probably worked well with the egocentrism that is Richard Hell. Although, to be fair, she's married to someone else and has been for a long time.

But she did tell me the story of how her, Terry Ork, Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine used to kick it in CBGBs and just pester Hilly until they go Tom and Richard a show.

[TomAz]

this is a good day to pay attention to this.
