[Deaglan]

by all accounts they are amazing live

By jaykers I don't think much of these fellas, not what I've heard of em anyway. They sound like a shit(ter) version of the proto-Stoat band I was in in school

listen to the album more than 3 times and if you're not hooked you must be a weirdo.

loads of folk i know (myself included) thought they were fairly smell upon first hearing, but they do grow on you in a massive way. i'll be taping this.

 

[Unicron]

They'll be playing a shortened version of Power Out, which Win was grumbling about on Monday at the Astoria, and yes they are amazing live.

 

[hermie]

they're overrated,though i do like the album well enough.the second song is class

Well thats down to your own opinion of course and you're entitled to it but I really don't think they are.

 

[hermie]

That's fair enough of course but do you really think THAT pitchfork review was justified?

Why wait?
Check out their in studio performance for KCRW. It opens with an outstanding string-heavy version of Wake Up.

That's fair enough of course but do you really think THAT pitchfork review was justified?

You know; I had never read it until just now, I had read about the boost that THAT pitchfork review had given them in the guardian and soon after I first heard them when a guy at a party in December played me a couple of songs from the album and I liked them enough to order the Funeral over d'internet.

I actually can't honestly say that I've read the review at this point either becasue I got to the third paragraph and decided that I had to stop because it was such a load of wank (but it does make me feel more comfortable about the prose blowjob that I'm in the process of giving them in the review of the London gig I'm doing, at least I'm not going that far, I'm close, but not quite; so thanks for pointing me towards it).

But the actual score they gave it; 9.7, is that justified? In my opinion it probably is. But I can only think of one album that has come out since 2000 that I can say with certainty that I like better than it.

 

[tripoli]

might record this, really like the ninth track "rebellion", it's rather good indeed.

the glow pt2? moon and antartica? milk-eyed mender?

 

[Unicron]

Meadowlands by The Wrens.

Milk Eyed Mender is wonderful though, opening dude on Monday did a version of "Peach Plum Pear" on the violin, v. good. Not heard the other 2.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

so The Fall and the Arcade Fire on the one show?

I'll have to watch Miami Vice earlier so

 

[coast to coast]

Saw one song. Still don't like 'em. Heard the LP a ton of times.
Music for Frames and maybe Waterboys fans.
The last Foo Fighters song was quite rocking.

Have you listened to: Farewell Sorrow, Suicide Invoice, Illinois, Michigan, Permission To Land, Apple O, Vespertine, Tripper, Go Forth and Amplify...
