^ Holy shit this album has "loud at any volume" disease like whoa. The songs suck, too.


Also does anyone have the new Deerhoof? Every link I've seen is dead already.

mars volta totally rocked tonight. just got back. same set list they've played the last few nights. played for about 1hr45 minutes:

Goliath
Viscera eyes
wax simulacra
eunuch
ourobourous
ilyena
Cyngus
The Widow
Aberinkula

I was just telling this to my friend (nearly verbatim since im too lazy to retype it) but, they have so much going on on the albums and so much production (although I think their production is very very well done) and his vocals are just so crazy good I was afraid they couldnt pull it off the same way live. But did they ever. Seriously blew me away.

Omar's guitar tone was incredible. SO much tone. and Cedric's voice was jaw dropping at times.

Ive missed them so many times over the past 4 years its ridiculous. Im glad I finally got to see them. The absence of anything from de-loused was disappointing but expected. Thomas Pridgen (current drummer) really tore it up too.

Quote :

"The practice of increasing a CD's loudness to be louder than competing CDs can have two effects. Since there is a maximum loudness level available to recording (as opposed to playback, in which the loudness is limited by the playback speakers and amplifiers), boosting the overall loudness of a song or track eventually creates a piece that is maximally and uniformly loud from beginning to end. The entire song has been flattened against the loudness ceiling, as it were. This creates music with a small dynamic range (i.e., little difference between loud and quiet sections). Ultimately, music with a small dynamic range is fatiguing and unsatisfying to listen to"

AMEN. Also see compression on this same issue.

9/24/2008 10:20:37 AM

that times new viking album on matador is the loudest album i've ever heard.

9/24/2008 10:39:31 AM

finally got around to getting Intimacy

I was really scared when I heard Mercury but I'm loving this album as much as the others

Signs may be one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard

9/24/2008 10:58:42 AM

^ halo is my favorite song off that album so far

9/24/2008 11:33:04 AM

I hate bloc party more than life itself

9/24/2008 4:12:55 PM

You hate life?

9/24/2008 4:15:59 PM

then I guess you hate life because you have a shitty taste in music?

9/24/2008 4:16:22 PM

I have shitty taste in music because I don't like Bloc Party's last two horrible horrible albums and their first one has been drastically overplayed by my friends?

9/24/2008 10:15:13 PM

Yeah...

9/24/2008 10:34:09 PM

the new ben folds is so terrible... laughibly awful. it's so bad, that I'm devoting my 1000th post to saying how bad it is

9/24/2008 11:04:23 PM

The fake album they recorded from scratch in a couple of hours is better than the real one.

9/24/2008 11:13:14 PM

i enjoyed the new song, You Don't Know Me, they started playing on sirius about a month ago but man i could not get into the rest at all.

9/25/2008 8:45:32 PM

thanks ronny

9/25/2008 10:28:54 PM

Does anyone have either of Sam Prekop's solo albums, and would you mind uploading them? I've been rebuilding my music collection after nuking it a few months back and I can't find them anywhere.

9/25/2008 11:25:25 PM

i dont but if you dont have it you should get all the Shrimp Boat stuff, i actually ordered the box set

9/26/2008 8:54:47 AM

anyone have a link to Kayo Dot - Blue Lambency Downward ? It came out earlier this year. ive heard about this band for awhile but for some reason always thought they were one of those myspace hyped poppunk/whatever bands. Ran across their myspace today and I REALLY liked what I heard a ton:

http://www.myspace.com/kayodot

actually id take any of their records at this point. its really emotionally moving stuff with a lot of different instruments. maybe somewhat similar to godspeed you! or sigur ros or a non-metal opeth based on just hearing a few songs. Im sure several of you have listened to them before so I wont try and explain too much based on just hearing 3 or so songs.

9/26/2008 5:30:54 PM

really enjoying the new lovedrug today

With as much shit that Pitchfork gets no one has been giving them any props for their pitchfork.tv. Just watched the Broken Social Scene segment with them performing "Stars and Sons." The M83 segemnts were really good too.

also, LOL at the Decemberists attempt at the Beatles on their new EP.

9/29/2008 9:11:38 PM

the beatles? what are you talking about eh

9/29/2008 10:47:29 PM

I'm just referring to the end of Valerie Plane where they get all "Hey Jude"ish on us.
