another new Omar Rodriguez-Lopez album to check out haha. Its called Solar Gambling. If I pick it up tonight I'll try and post a link.

Also, if anyone on here hasn't listened to Harvard before, check their new stuff out. http://www.myspace.com/harvard

You would probably like them if you enjoy stuff like Cool Hand Luke, As Tall As Lions, mewithoutYou, Circa Survive etc. Good guys from Charlotte that have been kicking stuff around for a long time and have finally started to click. I hope this is the album that gets them onto a larger radar.

12/1/2009 7:59:56 AM

^^ Got that a few weeks ago. It's good, but not as good as the last one.

12/1/2009 8:46:59 AM

Do like.

12/1/2009 4:09:09 PM

^^^ i'm diggin harvard.

12/1/2009 4:45:46 PM

glad to hear it

12/1/2009 4:47:30 PM

idk if you guys like the take away shows, but a new one came out with Phoenix today. If you haven't seen the other videos...might as well check them out while you're there. Damn well worth it.

12/3/2009 3:29:24 PM

i'm going to see passion pit, phoenix, and spoon tonight. woot woot.

12/4/2009 4:48:08 PM

spoon will probably play some new stuff

12/4/2009 5:00:41 PM

^That's too bad.

12/4/2009 5:02:13 PM

this is a bon iver takeaway thats really neat

12/4/2009 5:35:25 PM

no it's not.

[Edited on December 5, 2009 at 12:27 AM. Reason : maybe if he were singing with phil, brad and joe]

also it was way better when grizzly bear did it. bon iver sounds like a mediocre acapella group.

[Edited on December 5, 2009 at 12:30 AM. Reason : .]

12/5/2009 12:27:32 AM

yeah, a DE version that way could be cool

with those dudes not so much

12/5/2009 1:23:15 AM

the show last night was at a theater so the seating was.. well seats. really cool old place but i wasnt sure about it for a music show. but it turned out to be pretty fine. phoenix is kinda bland to me beside their couple hits. spoon was ok, but got a little boring at the end. passion pit rocked the house though. i was afraid the balcony above was going to to come down. everyone in the theater was dancing like idiots.

12/5/2009 12:58:44 PM

where did they play?

12/5/2009 2:34:56 PM

Orpheum Theater in Boston. thats where i live now

12/5/2009 2:41:02 PM

this new Vampire Weekend song is kicking my ass

they sure know how to make songs that get stuck in your head

12/6/2009 2:34:45 PM

i heard Patrick Watson on NPR yesterday and decided to pick it up, it's great, especially the second half

also got some other stuff that i havent listened to yet so we'll see how bored i get today to listen to some more

12/7/2009 11:26:15 AM

new "smashing pumpkins" song: http://www.spinner.com/2009/12/07/smashing-pumpkins-a-song-for-a-sun-song-premiere/

12/7/2009 7:28:21 PM

From a purely objective perspective, the only thing worse than Billy Corgan's singing voice is his speaking voice.

12/7/2009 7:46:37 PM

eh that song wasn't too bad. it'd be nice if the new stuff won't be as god awful as zeitgeist, but i'm not holding my breath.

12/7/2009 8:10:30 PM

i thought it sucked

i really don't like how Corgan's voice has been sounding since Zeitgeist

it's too processed and focused and you can hear it way above the music

please release a studio version of "Fuck You: An Ode To No One" like you played it at the Orange Peel

that is how I will remember SP

12/8/2009 2:21:53 PM

completely agree.

12/8/2009 2:32:59 PM

anyone have the orange peel shows audio?

12/8/2009 2:49:27 PM

can't remember if anyone posted any from any of the different shows there. you could check the old smashing pumpkins thread.

12/8/2009 3:04:37 PM

I'm uploading a show as we speak

plz to PM if you're interested

12/8/2009 3:05:47 PM

12/8/2009 3:10:13 PM

it's from the 6/30 show (a Saturday night show)

me and kevmcd86 were there

12/8/2009 3:14:46 PM

good stuff. i forget when I went. I think it was on a Thurs or Friday though because I stayed in the mtns for a few days. I'd actually be more interested in seeing a different set than the one I got.

12/8/2009 3:22:52 PM

I was also at the 6/29 show but it wasn't as good as the Saturday show IIRC

12/8/2009 3:29:33 PM

aha

12/8/2009 7:33:01 PM

lawls i love me some community primarily cause of him

http://www.laughyourdickoff.com/

12/8/2009 8:01:19 PM

he is on Parks and Recreation

not Community

12/8/2009 8:37:40 PM

dangit that's what i meant

i always do that cause parks and rec deals with the community

i also have a tendency to call "the office," "office space"

12/9/2009 10:01:02 AM

lol ur so old

12/9/2009 11:31:57 AM

12/9/2009 11:37:51 AM

anyone found the new Yeasayer? Bolachas posted it but the RS link is invalid. I'm sure that means its out there somewhere.

nevermind...found it. Odd Blood: hxxp://www.sendspace.com/file/r6gube

[Edited on December 11, 2009 at 10:50 AM. Reason : found it]

12/11/2009 10:35:25 AM

getting taken down everywhere.... hxxp://uploadbox.com/files/d9c67a5a5c/

12/11/2009 11:10:51 AM

it's up on what.cd

12/11/2009 5:47:32 PM

new yeasayer is pretty good. i dunno if it measures up to all hour cymbals though.

12/11/2009 7:30:45 PM

yeah, i've listened to it 3 times at work today.. pretty good but nothing amazing. the single is probably the best song on there

12/11/2009 8:28:10 PM

^agreed. so far the rest is not living up to all hour cymbals

12/11/2009 10:56:27 PM

12/12/2009 12:11:03 AM

The Fucked Up version of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" is kind of awesome.

12/12/2009 6:38:35 PM

Soft Machine – Live at Henie Onstad Art Centre 1971


I'm not sure if this belongs here or not.
It was recorded in 1971, but just now released.

It is most certainly as quality as anything posted in this thread.
