i think everyone has to be out by 11? That's what it seemed like at Lupe

9/20/2011 3:04:54 PM

Is Algernon khcadwal any good?

9/20/2011 3:24:43 PM

Thanks, I guess its 11 on weekends, and 10:30 on weeknights. I think I remember the decemberists going a bit over, but they also had the entire audience in the front pick up their chairs in protest so I guess they just:

^^i liked "some kind of cadwallader", but "parrot flies" didnt grab me

but you've gotta realize it's going to be like listening to cap'n jazz.

9/20/2011 3:40:00 PM

Damn it, I'm on the road for work and went to the nearest Best Buy to pick up the new Opeth album. Not in stock. you bastards. They usually have them in stock.

For those that still buy music, where do you buy from? I live 30 minutes north of Raleigh and work in North Raleigh. I know I can just order it but it is usually cheaper to pick it up.

9/20/2011 10:07:44 PM

kinda diggin this veronica falls.

9/20/2011 10:19:59 PM

searched for it, but didn't find anything, but I'm really diggin Headnodic's "Redline Radio"

Korn is releasing a nu-metal/dubstep album. These are two things I hate a lot.

A record store.

Your only option in Raleigh is Schoolkids. In Durham, there's Bull City Records, and in CH/Carrboro there's CD Alley and All Day Records.

No matter what, I'd call and ask first. These stores might not stock a ton of copies of something like Opeth, but they'll be happy to order it. Unlike Best Buy, they'll also know what you're talking about and know if they have it.

9/23/2011 1:49:37 PM

We (Schoolkids) actually have a pretty badass metal selection. Probably have Grayson's years here to thank for that. And we have several copies of both the standard and deluxe CD version and the LP version of the new Opeth. You should stop by, scotieb.

"Random question, but what time can bands play at the Raleigh ampitheater? I thought it was 11pm, but it might be 10. Anybody know?"

iirc, it's 10:30, Sunday thru Thursday and 11 pm on Friday/Saturday, based on the RCC

9/23/2011 9:33:46 PM

^^ You talking about the one on Hillsborough St.? I haven't been to the new location but I have been to the old one.

I already got the new Opeth though. When I got back to Raleigh I checked my normal Best Buy here near Triangle Town Center and they had like 8 copies left. I guess they just didn't stock the ones in that area (Monroe)

9/26/2011 3:12:53 PM

i am enjoying the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. album. nothing groundbreaking, but a good listen

9/27/2011 8:44:04 AM

Give Us The Wind and Close To None are my favorites off the new Future Islands right now. Album is pretty strong when you listen all the way through although I could do without Tybee Island

9/27/2011 9:50:17 AM

^^ lol, I had to google that to see if it was a real band. Never hear of them

9/27/2011 10:12:35 AM

^^ yeh, i like the new future islands too, and i'm not usually too wowed by them. i like this one because it's more atmospheric (due in part to songs like 'tybee island'). my favorite track is probably 'before the bridge', but it's definitely a "listen to the whole thing" kinda album

[Edited on September 27, 2011 at 11:32 AM. Reason : k]

9/27/2011 11:32:05 AM

on my second listen of on the water now. definitely remember some of these songs from the hopscotch day show. a lot different than in evening air, but i am getting into it.

9/27/2011 5:21:55 PM

it takes a few listens to get over expectations

and when you do, it's pretty fucking great

The Great Fire ftw

9/27/2011 6:02:00 PM

In Evening Air was a grower (still gets better every time I listen, it seems) and I feel like this will be the same way

9/27/2011 6:04:45 PM

"balance" is still the standout for me, but probably just because i've listened to it so much already. "grease" and "where i found you" are really cool too.

9/27/2011 6:14:25 PM

the middle of the album kinda loses me to be honest, but the rest of it is pretty damn good

9/27/2011 6:50:46 PM

The synth explosions at the beginning of "Grease" are fucking incredible.

Dum Dum Girls is really good, but since they cleaned up the production, Dee Dee's voice is 100% Chrissie Hynde.

have to agree here. had no idea this album would feature wye oak guest appearances.

9/27/2011 8:39:34 PM

yeah the future islands stuff is good. need to listen to it more before declaring favorite tracks, but i'm really digging "Grease" right now.

9/27/2011 10:25:30 PM

Dum Dum Girls - only heard that one they play on the radio a lot. I like it.

9/28/2011 12:35:22 AM

The new Mastodon is outstanding

9/28/2011 8:49:24 AM

wow that new Megafaun is great.

9/28/2011 10:24:06 AM

The new Field album is really good. He's been one of my favorite artist over the past five or six years. Each of his albums have an exemplary track (A Paw In My Face, The More That I Do, and Looping State Of Mind) showcasing its use of repetition, loops, voices, samples, and synths. His recent effort sounds more cohesive and flows better during a listen than the other two. I really like all the voices used at the end of Arpeggiated Love.

9/28/2011 12:43:42 PM

^^^ yes, yes it is.

Can you elaborate on what those expectations might be? Not sure what I was expecting with this, but I've listened to it like 5 times through now, and I'd give it a 7.8.

9/28/2011 3:18:02 PM

people that were expecting a more uptempo album

or an album full of songs that sound like the two singles

9/28/2011 3:23:16 PM

Ah yes, good point.

I like it though. It's not overwhelmingly great, but it's solid.

9/28/2011 3:51:42 PM

I would be happy paying anything for a Future Islands/Wye Oak show/tour

or just for a special live performance of The Great Fire

9/28/2011 3:54:09 PM

Looks like I missed out on the 180gram preorder. Oh well...

9/28/2011 4:06:23 PM

Took me a few listens but really digging the Future Islands as well.

The new Milagres - Glowing Mouth is fantastic. Its their first album out.

9/28/2011 8:43:09 PM

really into this new Feist album

it reminds me of how much I <3 her

9/29/2011 1:16:38 PM

Sticking to my guns on the 7.8

I, honestly, think it shoulda been faster I guess.

Track 4 isn't mentioned I don't think. I like it.

9/29/2011 1:52:07 PM

The new Real Estate is out there

why aren't more people talking about this?

crack the skye was my favorite album the year it came out.

this album doesn't seem as epic, but its damn good.

10/1/2011 3:55:17 AM

The new Ryan Adams is absolutely dreadful, but I've never been a fan.

The new Real Estate is wonderful, but I've always been a fan

10/1/2011 12:36:39 PM

i missed it earlier in the year but Blackbird Blackbird - Halo is pretty good, i'm only a few tracks in so far but i'm already hooked

10/1/2011 4:16:34 PM

i am enjoying the new division - shadows. kinda in the cut copy family.

They still get overlooked outside of a certain crowd it seems like. This album is really good though. A slightly different style but comparable quality to Crack the Skye (which was outstanding).
