"Trouble" was the last time I bought a CD without listening to it first. I feel bored just thinking about that album.

Silversun Pickups - Carnavas

I love this. Looking forward to the actual release.

Unlike Kyle though, I have not chance of seeing them live soon. I bet they'd be great.

yep... PM on the way

Wait, are the ones you have "Into the Lens" and "Marathon LP"? Because I do have those. If not, then

I have "Into the Lens" and "Marathon LP". Are those the ones?

I've been playing this album like crazy the past couple weeks.

it is really great, fuck Pitchfork in their fucking asses

 

i love all but 2 tracks

Movie Monster and TV Torso, right? Those two would be my least favorite. I don't really like TV Torso but Movie Monster is fine withing the context of the album, but not something I'd skip forward to hear on it's own. Putting those two songs back-to-back would be something I'd change about the album. And if TV Torso could be replaced with The Fastest Man Alive from the Work EP the album would be pretty hard to beat.

I knew the pitchfork review was going to be dumb when I read this part, "Like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah last year, Sound Team open things with a blink-and-you'll-miss-it song fragment". He makes it seem like ST put in that intro because CYHSY did. And that it was original when CYHSY but not now. He sticks to that same theme though the rest of the review.

Some guy emailed Marc Hogan about his review and posted his response here.

Second favorite thing i've listened to:

Citrus - Asobi Seksu

Also excellent. That climbed way up my list fast. I downloaded and after a few listens I was going store to store looking for a real copy.

I bought this yesterday and, while I haven't listened to a lot of stuff this year, it is currently my favorite thing i've heard so far. Ragged beauty. Fucking awesome.

I agree, it's still my favorite full length of the year.

Oakley Hall "Daytrotter Session"

Ok, you guys are right, Oakley Hall are the goods. Now I need to check out the albums.

Is that out yet?

Yep, though I cannot say for sure it's in stores yet. But I bought it from here in early May.

It's as great as you think it will be, too.

Asobi Seksu "Citrus" again.

This is excellent. For shoegaze fans.

I still need to hear that one.

Another bear band

Bears - s/t

Asobi Seksu - Citrus

Classic

Exciting

Is that what I think it is?

Thanks, I'll do that.
