8/10/2009 9:34:57 PM

8/10/2009 10:16:28 PM

I really don't understand why Crystal Antlers aren't the biggest band in the world.

Pleasant surprise of the day:

If you buy the Dark Meat "When the Shelter Came" 7", it comes with a download card for an entire EP, not just the two songs on the record.

8/11/2009 7:12:43 PM

I think radiohead are trying a new trick to sell records this time.

New Weezer single "(If You Are Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" http://www.mediafire.com/?mmdrmuitwzg

8/16/2009 6:05:52 PM

Awesome title.

For what might be the single cheapest, shallowest, shittiest song I've ever heard.

8/16/2009 8:10:14 PM

I haven't listened to it yet, but I'm sure you had to have heard worse at some point...

8/16/2009 8:26:31 PM

I like it.

8/16/2009 9:31:10 PM

nothing about that song is good

8/17/2009 1:18:34 AM

lol i'd listen but that's way too much work for a weezer single

8/17/2009 1:56:32 AM

dear god, please let this be true about the Radiohead EP

8/17/2009 10:42:45 AM

in case anyone was wondering, that new calvin harris, as i expected, blows

8/17/2009 11:06:46 AM

i'm confused

8/17/2009 2:41:39 PM

new radiohead is good

8/17/2009 4:17:15 PM

radiohead songs:

Harry patch (in memory of) = very different, I love it.
These are my twisted words = leaked, and this was attached to the info file (having references to a mysterious "Wall of Ice" or "WOI"):

hahaha... yeah this new weezer song is pretty, rediculously, incredibly, amazingly bad. songs like this and beverly hills make you wonder if they really were a good band, or a terrible band that accidently made some decent stuff in the past.

8/18/2009 1:36:56 PM

the new Flaming Lips is the most experimental/least-accessible album they've recorded in a long time.. not sure how i feel about it yet but it's an interesting listen at least. probably will leak soon, since promos are being sent out

8/21/2009 5:08:20 PM

Crap. The way you started that post, I thought it had already leaked. I have that same feeling about it from the 3 tracks that have leaked so far.

8/21/2009 8:00:36 PM

^^ That's interesting, considering Wayne has been talking about it as a sort of return to Soft Bulletin-esque stuff, atmospheric but tuneful.

8/21/2009 8:30:54 PM

From Rolling Stone (in March)-

Quote :

""After the Flaming Lips' Steven Drozd failed to sell his Oklahoma house last year, the band turned the empty home into a temporary recording studio. "We're capturing more immediate kinds of rock sounds there," says frontman Wayne Coyne. "It's different than the computer-generated beats of the last couple of records." The group is re-teaming with longtime producer Dave Fridmann for its 12th LP — and has already written enough material for a double album, which Coyne describes as "Plastic Ono-era John Lennon mixed with Bitches Brew-era Miles Davis.""

8/21/2009 8:56:29 PM

it really didn't remind me of Soft Bulletin at all (which we just got on 180gm vinyl btw). there are 18 tracks. very atmospheric. not very tuneful.

8/21/2009 9:47:16 PM

new things that are good: The XX, Cold Cave, The Big Pink, the new Polvo, new Tickley Feather, new Ducktails

8/23/2009 2:07:51 PM

you guys have that javelin album, don't you?

I didn't pick it up last weekend at either show

but now I really, really want it

8/23/2009 2:45:51 PM

big pink is pretty rad

i really like the polvo record

i heard some of the folks in the know don't like it at all

but i will definitely be buying it come 9/8

8/23/2009 2:50:22 PM

i can upload that Javelin album later.. i think you can only buy it through their myspace. the version i downloaded a few weeks ago was a little different than the CD-R i bought at their show though.

what do you mean by people "in the know" not liking the Polvo record? people that work at Merge? critics?

i think it's pretty great

8/23/2009 3:10:15 PM

i guess "in the know" sounded more suggestive than i meant

i have talked to some people around town who are more than just fans who aren't big on it

i think it's great

8/23/2009 8:16:07 PM

i can't stop listening to the YACHT album. the xx is great stuff too.

8/23/2009 11:02:03 PM

How do you all feel about the new Brand New song "At The Bottom"?

8/23/2009 11:08:24 PM

I heard that Big Pink song Dominos and thought it was real bad

8/24/2009 12:16:51 AM

Mew's "No More Stories..." gets officially released tomorrow...will be picking that up. Been listening to the leaked version a ton since I got it a month or more ago; it is one of my favorites this year by far.

8/24/2009 7:55:06 AM

New Karen O track is insane and awesome.

8/24/2009 3:20:42 PM

^ I came in here to post that too, I can't wait for this movie/soundtrack to come out

8/24/2009 3:24:40 PM

BONKERS. A++ would listen again.

8/24/2009 3:54:49 PM

i'm liking the BLK JKS album so far. usually i use the term "progressive rock" as a pejorative but this has a lot of energy to it.

8/24/2009 11:35:26 PM

new Pissed Jeans is sick

that Cold Cave album is gonna blow up eventually.. the song "Life Magazine" especially

8/26/2009 12:13:11 AM

I saw "Girls" a few months ago and it was so loud I couldnt hear a fucking thing they were doing.

come to find out they actually write nice pop songs which are pretty enjoyable. So ive been listening to them.

Some how they're on the cover of Fader this month. The lead singer looks like a skinny Mike Patton from 1988.

8/26/2009 4:00:07 PM

man good luck trying to google "girls - album".

8/26/2009 4:48:04 PM
