for anyone interested, the rosebuds are playing an in-store at schoolkids this tuesday at 6 PM for the release of loud planes fly low. should be packed, even on such short notice.

6/5/2011 4:01:13 PM

It'll definitely be packed; Jackpot was pretty full when they played there on roughly two hours notice.

6/5/2011 6:12:36 PM

where do the bands set up in school kids? i can't visualize a space for bands, let alone fans

6/5/2011 8:48:31 PM

huh? there's a stage

6/5/2011 9:03:57 PM

timberlake is pretty funny

6/5/2011 9:13:17 PM

^^ i'm an out-of-towner now. I've only been to the new location once or twice, and I can't seem to visualize where in the store the stage is. no worries

still waiting for the footage of that

top 5 Jackpot moment

6/5/2011 10:41:08 PM

i have some of it still on my cell phone
so mad i will not be able to hear them short notice

hearing them at jackpot that night was a very special moment in raleigh music imo. you just had to be there to appreciate the vibe.

new album is banging...if someone picks me up a ticket for this weekends show i would love them long time

6/6/2011 2:06:55 AM

^ why don't you just buy one

http://www.etix.com/ticket/online/performanceSearch.jsp?performance_id=1473086&orderBy=1

i'd get you one, but i already have mine.... and i'm going to attempt to pull off two shoes in one night.

(Best Coast/Decemberists early, then leaving there to be at Kings by 11ish to see Rosebuds)

sounds like the worst daredevil trick ever

i would totally go to that rosebuds show at kings, but i'm gonna be at bonnaroo...should be a lot of fun.

6/6/2011 5:20:37 PM

lulz at that mistype

6/6/2011 6:22:02 PM

threw up our track from the aforementioned tape. http://whateverbrains.tumblr.com/post/6276725115/from-the-forthcoming-cassette-comp-dicks-picks

6/7/2011 1:38:49 AM

I haven't had to park on Hillsborough at that time of day (6 for the rosebuds) in a long time. Any suggestions?

6/7/2011 3:38:28 AM

^parking lot behind sadlack's if it isn't full

6/7/2011 8:04:18 AM

got my Rosebuds CD in today [thanks to this thread]

actually looking forward to work tomorrow because of this

Kanye West's video for "Monster" ft. Rick Ross, Bon Iver, Jay Z, Nicki Minaj. Pretty crazy video.

Quote :

"With an introductory disclaimer that reads, "The following content is in no way to be interpreted as misogynistic or negative towards any groups of people. It is an art piece and it shall be taken as such," the video launches into women hanging by nooses, Kanye setting up a threesome with corpses, Jay-Z raps over dead women and evil Nicki Minaj busts out the S&M gear to torture her good self."

Didn't seem like much of a turnout at schoolkids today

6/8/2011 2:32:43 AM

Is the Rosebuds' Birds Make Good Neighbors a "rare record"? Because the chance of not otherwise being able to obtain it was certainly the only motivation in buying it today....

6/8/2011 11:15:56 PM

It's out of print on vinyl as far as I know. It's not worth a hundred bucks or anything, but it isn't easy to find.

In other news, I'll buy it from you.

6/8/2011 11:49:48 PM

New fucked up coming...FINALLY.

256...but still.

My predicted Rosebuds Pitchfork score was only .2 off

6/9/2011 10:20:54 AM

^ that review is garbage. They only talked about a few of the songs, and it seemed that they lost points with the reviewer for making a "heavy" album-- an album that (god forbid) made him feel something, as opposed to a lot of the emotionally sterile crap that comes out these days

6/9/2011 11:13:07 AM

Quote :

"My predicted Rosebuds Pitchfork score was only .2 off"

this one -- 7.3

night of the furies -- 7.7

life like -- 7.2

birds make good neighbors -- 8.1

the rosebuds make out -- 7.3

not exactly going out on a limb by predicting they would get in the mid 7 range, LOL

Pitchfork's getting really, really bad these days. Coke Machine Glow, ftw.

6/9/2011 11:50:37 AM

reading pitchfork reviews is like watching someone slowly rub one out.

6/9/2011 12:20:17 PM

I hate to be the a-hole here, but if they give that new Bon Eye-ver anything remotely close to a BNM, then I'll stop following them entirely.

More like...Bon Contriver

And it appears I got the Rosebuds' best album ever yesterday!!

[Edited on June 9, 2011 at 12:31 PM. Reason : k]

6/9/2011 12:20:29 PM

wait, someone doesn't love bon iver? how are you still talking about music on the internet?

all jokes aside, as much as i deplore the musical hivemind... i really do love bon iver.

[Edited on June 9, 2011 at 12:39 PM. Reason : i'm surprised he's/they're even remotely cool, usually stuff i listen to is super e-lame]

6/9/2011 12:38:25 PM

It's just that I "don't get it", and I'm a "Phillistine."

6/9/2011 12:42:34 PM

always fun to see people complaining about reviews

6/9/2011 12:44:20 PM

new Bon Iver will get in the 9 range. it's pretty fucking good.

and I still think this is the best Rosebuds album yet

6/9/2011 12:51:55 PM

i, too, am not a fan of the new Bon Iver.

i enjoy 3 songs a lot -- the rest is shit.

I have Birds Make Good Neighbors on vinyl.

How much?

I'm digging the new album a lot, but I still don't think it is as good as BMGN. It definitely is going to get a few more listens though.

6/9/2011 4:27:16 PM

I don't know if they'll ever make a record as good as BMGN.

If I had to rank them right now it'd be:

1. bmgn
2. tie between Make Out and the new one (new one will likely over-take this one, i just have a soft spot for Make Out)
3. Night of the Furies

and a very, very distant 4th for Life Like.

hell, i would even put the Unwind EP above Life Like in terms of quality tracks, even though it's not a full length.

6/9/2011 4:36:42 PM

i'm really digging the new Bon Iver. the last song really gets me. then again, i'm a huge sucker for "sad bastard music" as my girlfriend likes to call it.

6/9/2011 8:42:44 PM

two songs in and im caught up in the swaying whimsically psychedelically fun dale earnhardt jr jr lp, it's a corporate world.

it's been done before. there's nothing new here. it's overproduced and slick. it's still good for summertime background music, cold beers and grilling.

The Antlers new album is the album of the year. I'm sure it's been mentioned but I don't care.

6/11/2011 2:40:26 AM

Not really Music of 2011-related, and gonna post it in my thread, but anybody looking to buy records needs to get up to Lunchbox in Charlotte fucking immediately. Dude just marked down an asston full of records and already has the most baller prices in the state that I've seen. Please do yourself the favor.

6/11/2011 1:42:18 PM

^ it's true. the selection and prices are amazing. last weekend, i got the antlers 'hospice' lp for $14.99 and the fresh and onlys 'play it strange' lp for $12.99.

6/11/2011 2:20:02 PM

Several tracks from the upcoming Color Spectrum EP's from The Dear Hunter were uploaded to their purevolume page. Good shit.

6/11/2011 8:03:24 PM

the dear hunter is a terrible band

6/11/2011 8:51:13 PM

chad vangaalen's diaper island is quickly becoming one of my favorites of this year.

6/12/2011 4:45:04 PM

dear hunter is, indeed, terrible

for some reason there's a guy on what.cd who pm's me stuff that hasn't leaked yet. just sent me the new Washed Out, about to listen.

6/12/2011 5:12:22 PM

Try out Graveyard - Hisingen Blues
For a new throwback. Robert Plant vocals, Hendrixish guitar, lame band name

Metal goodness probably 2010 but basically unknown
Le Grand Guignol - The Great Maddening
Orakle - Tourments Et Perdition

[Edited on June 12, 2011 at 10:49 PM. Reason : k]

6/12/2011 10:48:52 PM

I'm digging that Graveyard jank. Downloaded it a while back, but am finally giving a listen.

6/13/2011 11:42:21 AM

COLE WORLD.

6/13/2011 1:17:03 PM

More like...Mal Iver. More like...Bon Nuit, sweet prince.
