the last word on everything pitchfork

Will the new album be in record shops in Dublin on Monday?

I'll only be up that day.

Anyone here work in Tower?

Thanks.

 

[rettucs]

I bought it in Tower on thursday

 

[Nate Champion]

laughing, so.


Did they have it on vinyl though? and if so, what price?

Sometimes the vinyl takes a while to come out in shops for some reason.

thanks again. Apologies for the barrage of queries.

 

[rettucs]

I got it on CD. I've no idea if they have it on vinyl or not. They generally don't keep that near the front of the shop which is where I picked my CD copy up from (on the new releases/recommended rack).

Give them a ring would be my suggestion. They're sound enough in there so I'm sure they'd be happy to help.

The Dublin gig was unreal, probably the best gig i've been to this year. Their percussionist looked like Dave Lee Roth as well which can only be a good thing.....

he needed to put his top back on though.

great gig alright. Every song seemed to go on for about 20 minutes. Apart from the first one which lasted about 45 minutes from the time Dave Lee Roth came out and turned on that noise.

[nooleen]

i can't believe it was 1 hour 54 minutes, felt like about 20 minutes

 

[nooleen]

you can hear a load of irish eejits talking during the intro droning/widdling sounds

 

[nooleen]

"how come you english men are all so effeminate?"

"WE'RE NOT ENGLIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSHHHH!"
"WE'RE IRISH, FUCK OFF!"
"800 YEARS!"

Swans live at ATP 2011. Great recording (link to Earth's liveset at the bottom of page).

While Swans' July 22 show at Terminal West was as riveting as usual, there was a noticeable absence on the stage amid the group's swirling and colossal dirge, that of bare-chested percussionist extraordinaire Thor Harris. "My mom is 89, and I wanted to be around more for her," Harris says. "I also just needed a change."
That change comes in the form of his new marimba-driven ensemble, Thor & Friends.

No plans to interview Larkin Grimm but Amanda Palmer is already interviewed? Ugh!

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

I still backed it though.
