i love the hold steady....new single is pretty good but sounds like 'jesse's girl'

3/23/2010 12:08:47 PM

There are several things in it that seem to refer to "Jesse's Girl"--beyond both songs being about a Jesse, the muted guitar riff leading into the explosive chorus definitely remind of "Jesse's Girl." I think it's more of an indirect reference than a direct one, though.

With the constant references Finn makes to various 80s bands, I have to think it's intentional on some level.

2 new tracks off of the new album released today

CAN'T

FUCKING

WAIT

3/23/2010 1:14:02 PM

did MGMT forget that their new album was supposed to have some hooks on it? 43 minutes of nothing interesting

3/23/2010 1:34:38 PM

I like the new MGMT a lot. They are streaming it on their website. It sounds lush and thick and has great vocal and drum treatments all over it. total studio album.

Siberian Break is my fav track from my first listen. I'll be buying this on LP.

and while i think that funky image is interesting it is not album art worthy.

from what i understand they may have done it intentionally. i've heard they kind of pulled an eddie vedder and sort of resented the level of fame that OS brought them and deliberately didn't make an easily accessible record. they even turned down the chance to open for some pretty high profile acts because they're "not that kind of band," or some shit.

3/24/2010 12:14:00 PM

3/24/2010 1:06:52 PM

that gayngs song is some serious baby-making music.

3/24/2010 5:07:22 PM

wow

almost took off a couple of articles of clothing while listening to it

3/24/2010 5:26:55 PM

what i've heard of the album is really fucking good

i've only heard 2/3rds of it, but it might be the best stoner music ever made

3/24/2010 5:40:19 PM

Every time I've listened to the track I've been naked

"In an interview with IFC about the movie, Brownstein dropped a couple of bombshells. One was that Sleater-Kinney might resume sometime in the not-too-distant future: "I think we will come back and revisit it. And hopefully that record will be sometime in the next five years." And the other was that she'd been working on a new music project with Sleater-Kinney/Quasi drummer Janet Weiss."

Anyone going to see the XX tonight @ the cradle? I'm looking forward to it. Also, the opening act Nasaj Thing is pretty dope

3/25/2010 5:03:38 PM

seeing shearwater's lion crossed with a biker lookin' drummer with a homemade plywood hammer dulcimer would make it worth the trip

saw them last fall and it was <3

3/25/2010 6:53:57 PM

new dr. dog up on what.cd. downloading now.

3/25/2010 8:25:02 PM

yeah that mgmt is totally forgettable

3/26/2010 8:58:27 AM

WKNC has been going through the entire new Overkill album on Chainsaw Rock. That may be the first time I have ever heard them on the radio. Here's to you WKNC

3/26/2010 5:23:28 PM

I misread that as "Okkervil" and was really confused.

3/26/2010 10:22:27 PM

so did I

3/26/2010 11:57:22 PM

lol

3/27/2010 9:16:05 AM

haha so did i, i even searched what.cd for it before i reread it and was like wtf.

3/27/2010 9:45:38 AM

Haha...That new Roky Erickson with Okkervil River record is on what. Haven't heard it yet, but should be pretty cool. Maybe.

Those guys must've had a blast just hanging out with Erickson in the studio.

[Edited on March 27, 2010 at 10:50 AM. Reason : .]

3/27/2010 10:48:36 AM

It's more interesting than good, really, but I'd definitely recommend giving it a listen. I'm in love with the album cover, though.

3/27/2010 11:28:20 AM

^, ^^ that's so damn weird, because I just came to post about that Roky Erickson/Okkervil River record. I cannot wait to check it out. Some of Erickson's stuff is genius...... some is shit.

The new Erykah Badu and Bill Callahan's live record are also out there.

I have a link for the Dr. Dog, but it's on some terrible site that won't download. If anyone has seen one on mediafire, if you could IM me, I would appreciate it.

New LCD Soundsystem song! FUCK YES!!!

http://pitchfork.com/news/38291-listen-lcd-soundsystem-drunk-girls/

3/27/2010 12:18:27 PM

I like that Roky Erickson with Okkervil Record the first time through.

It sounds like Howlin' Wolf singing lead for The Band and Phil Spector produced it.

First listen through and this is a very solid album. Anyone who has liked their stuff in the past should really enjoy this album.

3/27/2010 10:47:36 PM

May will be an insane month for new releases. Not that I like all these bands, but there's new albums come out from Broken Social Scene, LCD Soundsystem, The Hold Steady, The National, The Black Keys, Band of Horses, The New Pornographers, and The Dead Weather. In the same month!

3/30/2010 11:47:33 AM

^^ they completely lost me with their last album

and I was a pretty big fan for 5+ years

3/30/2010 12:06:04 PM

the new dr. dog didn't grab me the way their previous albums did at first, but it's really grown on me over the last few days. the new dead weather single, "die by the drop" is up on what.cd right now too.

3/30/2010 12:36:14 PM
