is it just me or does the first part of stereolab's the free design sound a little bit too much like the first part of sufjan's all the good naysayers(...)

Picked up the new Sigur Ros from SchoolKids earlier today. I'm very happy with it. Can't wait for the DVD in a few weeks.

So I finally got Challengers after coming into some money this week, and I was all ready to say that for once I actually liked the Behar songs more than the Newman songs on a NP record.

Then came "Go Places."

Carl Newman, you brilliant bastard.

Someone find the new Andrew Bird EP Soldier On. I've heard a few of the songs on it already and Trees Were Mistaken is pretty good.

11/19/2007 12:50:53 PM

i finally just got there "I'm Not There" soundtrack

really, really impressed with it

karen O singing highway 61 revisited FTW

11/19/2007 1:27:10 PM

^ eh... that one doesn't do much for me, but overall it's a really really solid double-CD of Dylan covers. My personal faves are Jeff Tweedy 'Simple Twist of Fate' and Yo La Tengo 'Fourth Time Around'

11/19/2007 2:49:43 PM

ha, yo la tengo's version of "i wanna be your lover" is my favorite out of all of them

i just like hearing karen o sing that song

I know it's being sold at his European tour dates as of last week, so hopefully it will find its way to a blog soon.

I'll keep an eye out.

Anyway we can get an up of that Rivers Cuomo demo?

11/19/2007 6:03:53 PM

Not actually leaked yet; sorry for being a bit misleading with that post. I was just posting the tracklist.

11/19/2007 6:09:35 PM

Oh, no worries, it was just wishful thinking on my part.

Thanks!

11/19/2007 6:20:31 PM

11/26/2007 1:47:59 PM

The new Hives album has four or five songs on it that are absolute dynamite.

^ I've never given any credence to anyone from Pitchfork not named DiCrescenzo.

i wasnt talking about the review

just the song

11/26/2007 2:00:21 PM

I've waited years to finally hear that "Bla-" at the beginning

EDIT: I don't know if it would make a difference to that writer, but the voicebox was used to distinguish robot's part, which was to be played by one Karl Koch

Burial - Untrue

Quote :

"After the surprise success of his self-titled, low-key debut on Hyperdub , Burial returns with an eagerly awaited follow up album, ‘Untrue’. The new record is weird soul music, hypersoul, lovingly processing spectral female voices into vaporised R&B and smudged 2step garage. Voices are blurred, smeared, pitched up, pitched down and pitch bent until their content becomes irrelevant and they whisper their saccharin sweet nothings into the void."

got a link for that burial album?

11/26/2007 4:04:38 PM

I'm still trying to find that Andrew Bird "soldier on". Cif82 -- did you have any luck finding it?

A random request, but does anyone have The Zombies -- "Into the Afterlife" ? It was a follow up of rare material that wasn't featured on their "Heaven" box set and I can't find that bitch anywhere.

Superfriend 45 second clip streaming at the top of the page. This sounds really stupid, but for the last four years (when I learned about Songs from the Black Hole) this has basically been the holy grail of unreleased songs for me.

11/27/2007 6:56:01 PM

"getting up and leaving" from the pinkerton sessions is the real holy grail, though

11/27/2007 7:45:30 PM

Hmmm I guess I could see that, but it's still probably always been Superfriend for me. We have the sheet music for Getting Up and Leaving at least.

11/27/2007 7:52:31 PM

how the hell did only one radiohead discbox get shipped out early??

another link worth checking out. animal collective bbc session http://gorillavsbear.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-animal-collective.html

11/27/2007 11:56:55 PM

This is one of several pictures of the Radiohead discbox... at first, I put the image up here, but then I thought that some folks may want to see it for the first time on their own and open the box on their own, so I didn't want to spoil that experience for them.

The front cover and entire package is amazing, though. I'll put up more links to pics if people want them.

ive only been listening to this for 2 weeks, and finally googled it tonight

12/3/2007 11:24:00 PM

man i just watched some live minus the bear videos. makes me even madder that ive never seen them live. they sounded GREAT live. i also had them pegged as a band that might not sound that great live for some reason. something about them. but theyve been TIGHT every live video ive seen of them now.

12/6/2007 1:22:40 PM

just looked at the grammy nominations.. seriously who comes up with this shit?

foo fighters for album of the year? that album is terrible. i don't even think it got good reviews

12/6/2007 1:30:18 PM

Yeah, that's how the Grammys (or any awards, for that matter) have been for years.

12/6/2007 1:47:02 PM

yeah i know, it still blows my mind sometimes though which albums get nominated.

"hey there delilah" for song of the year? "TI vs TIP" for rap album of the year?

No kidding... me too. I have no idea how it's been out since March and I didn't start listening to it until 2 weeks ago. Good stuff.

Kirsten Dunst on back up vocals. She actually has a good voice... who'd a thunk it.
