Jesse "boots electric" hughes from eagles of death metal is releasing a solo album next month, entitled honky kong, which he sums up by saying he "took george clinton and bent him over and raped the shit out of him with gary human using little richard as a dick."

downloaded a song from boots-electric.com, but I dunno how I feel about it yet. the rest of the album could be entertaining, I guess.

I wish the new Girls album would formally leak. A bunch of people have it, but they aren't sharing

8/16/2011 10:26:44 AM

^oh man, if anybody has the new girls and wants to hook a brother up, hit me up via pm...i reeeeeeally want to hear that shit

8/16/2011 10:32:46 AM

^I'll send a link as soon as I find one. Seems like it's gotta be soon

8/16/2011 11:03:00 AM

new Girls is pretty amazing. it's clearly a grower-- it was twice as good the second time through, and i'm sure that will keep increasing. love the guitar shredding on multiple tracks

8/17/2011 1:03:29 AM

someone sent me the new St Vincent with the "don't spread this" warning

damn it's good though

8/17/2011 1:08:36 AM

new Active Child has some cool sounds, but it doesn't do anything for me. I'll keep it in mind if I want to eat some psychedelics and watch WMP visualizations.

8/17/2011 3:33:07 AM

"vomit" off of the new Girls record is fantastic.

8/17/2011 3:58:53 AM

Yeah, the new Girls record surpasses even the highest expectations people might've had for it. I'd have to listen to it a few more times, but on the first few listens, I was thinking it might even be an album-of-the-year contender.

8/17/2011 10:55:58 AM

The album of the year is clearly Bon Iver. Hands down.

agreed. i told a friend of mine that it's like new bon iver good, not stylistically of course, but more in the way that it's better than people would've expected as you said, and critics will probably be gushing over it. not that i care about pitchfork reviews, but if they gave album a 9.1, this one should score super high.

Hey, I don't hate Bonjamin Iver; I hate his latest album. Blood Bank is awesome. For the record.

8/17/2011 11:38:55 AM

I mean, holy fuck, Girls. The more I listen to this record, the more I'm pretty blown away by just how fucking great these songs are. I love how ambitious it sounds. That's what I've always liked about Girls: that they are a rock band in the classic sense, not necessarily in the indie sense.

8/17/2011 11:46:25 AM

If somebody would like to message me ab that Girls album, that'd be swell. I've been listening to Album in my car for the last several days and like that new Vomit song...

8/17/2011 11:54:26 AM

i can't think of a better pop song i've heard this year than "magic." also can't get enough of "how can i say i love you," "vomit," and "love life."

it is for me.

right now, for me personally, it's Girls and Beirut, and then a HUGE drop off for everything else. honestly, The Rosebuds record would probably be 3rd for me right now. the Girls record sounds like Big Star having an orgy with Built to Spill.

but, i'm one of the few (apparently), who did not like the bon iver record as a whole. i thought it had 3 or 4 good tracks, but a lot of shit tracks on it.

very true. i was thinking of big star a lot when i was listening to it.

i also love all the songs rat soup mentioned, plus the first and last tracks, "Honey Bunny" and "Jamie Marie." Especially the first song; it's such a knock-you-on-your-ass way to start the record. So catchy, great harmonies.

8/17/2011 1:51:57 PM

I definitely need to check out Girls

8/17/2011 1:56:45 PM

Just started Girls.

8/17/2011 2:10:24 PM

I LIKE GIRLS!!!

""Honey Bunny""

^ The prominent Rickenbacker doesn't hurt there.

8/17/2011 2:16:39 PM

Fuck you if "magic" doesn't make you want to skip down the street. I might if I listen to it on the walk home from the metro after work

8/17/2011 2:19:32 PM

anybody care to help a motherfucker out with this Girls album?

downloading now

[Edited on August 17, 2011 at 2:25 PM. Reason : yep]

8/17/2011 2:19:49 PM

other than the guitar lick in "die" sounding like a RHCP song or something and seeming way out of place, it's a very very solid album.

8/17/2011 3:11:10 PM

i guess i'm going to have to give this girls album another shot, after i couldn't finish listening to 'vomit'.

i thought another mp3 got slipped into the playlist. it's kinda madden soundtracky

8/17/2011 3:48:26 PM

"vomit" is so great

8/17/2011 4:30:58 PM

haha Die is definitely RHCP'y. Second half of the song is better though

i haven't gotten around to reading this yet

but i just command+f the word "rock"

and didn't see it anywhere in there

guess it's still dead?

8/17/2011 9:38:23 PM

the first two songs on the girls album knock my socks off.

^ i pre-ordered the vinyl, so i don't feel too bad. besides, 'tis the world we live in now



Honey Bunny reminds me of Fun, Fun, Fun by the Beach Boys

8/18/2011 9:59:26 AM

It's because they're from San Fran, where houses average in the millions and a loaf of bread costs 30 dollars.

They just need money.

8/18/2011 2:44:07 PM

I would understand that update if the record were on sale, but it's not.

If he wants to send me a copy, I'll send him cash right now.
