The only album I was disappointed by was Blitzen Trapper. It reminded me why I rarely purchase CDs anymore without hearing them first. Furr is a great song but the rest, not so much.

Barack Obama!

I really like his older stuff!

Sundance is showing this again on Monday, January 19 and Thursday, January 29.

Love love love that album.

Wait - are the reissues out?

No, the reissues come out Jan 27th but Merge has them streaming now.

Has anybody checked out this book?

ABOUT THIS BOOK

 

An answered prayer for Beatles fans and collectors, the first

It came out in August? I am surprised I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

anyway, how do you pronounce Bon Iver?

Didn't see this answered but wikipedia says it's pronounced "bohn eevair" which is how I've heard it.

I'll have to look for the new Smoking Popes tonight. That's good news.

Looks like this has been available since October but I only ran across it a few days ago. FLAC, AAC and MP3s available.

The Satanic Messiah EP

Four songs I recorded by myself with Scott Solter in Monroe, North Carolina, are now available for download here. The songs will also be available as a limited edition double-7" in a gatefold hi-gloss sleeve, etc., but when I say "limited," I mean it, so please don't hold out for the vinyl; only 665 people will get a copy. (I will be the 666th.) An option to pay me for my work is available at the linked site, but is by no means a requirement prior to download, as that would be weasel business. You do what you feel. I hope you like these songs; I am fond of them; they remind me of old vanished things. They're yours now! Share as you see fit, but if you wanna point people at the donation pages, I would appreciate that; there's an .rtf file included in the .zip file that encloses the songs, so if you just share the whole thing zipped, you won't need to do any why-don't-you-donate evangelization yourself. But don't let me stop you! The evangelical urge must go forth unchecked if the Word is to be spread far and wide.

When Team Love started we had the simple and possibly self-defeating notion that posting all our albums on the website as free downloads would be a good detour around the wreckage of the music industry and a way to avoid getting bogged down in the number one topic of discussion and distraction: piracy, illegal downloads, P2P networks and so on.

 

Five years later and the debate still drones in the background, and while some bands have adopted a mutated version of the

The Wigan victory was good because that's the type of match where points are usually dropped. Good chances with hitting the post twice and Van Persie missing a good chance and doing well to barely miss another.

Glad we only need a draw to win the group and are already qualified because I wouldn't feel too comfortable if it was a must win with all who are missing:

"Samir Nasri (ankle), Gael Clichy (hamstring) and Cesc Fabregas (knee), Bacary Sagna (flu), Kolo Toure (calf), Van Persie (thigh) and Adebayor (rested) are all missing. William Gallas (calf) and Abou Diaby (abdominal strain) are back."

Eduardo will play in a reserve match next week. Last February who would have thought that he would be back before Rosicky (or back at all), who they are now saying is March at the earliest.
