Ludwig Von Drake

Now I have to decide how much I like the Arcade Fire, to see them in either Chicago, New York, or perhaps Canada. Why no Cleveland? They'd easily fill the Beachland Ballroom and they'd have every person from the north, south, east and west coming here to see them there.

By logical deduction, I'd say go see Glen Phillips. The fact that Broken West are returning for a second date is the reasoning behind this suggestion. As for Grizzly Bear, I'd totally forget about them.

I realize that now that you mention it. It makes it all the more funnier.

Makes me all the more glad that I'm not listening to this rip that's floating around.

Panda Bear does seem to me to be the more grounded, between him and Avey when it comes to released material. I have an issue of Arthur though where they interviewed all four members, and it's not like the other three are completely silly hippies. I remember Comfy in Nautica/I'm Not being released on UuAR way back on both 7-inch and CD... But I never heard of this plan of his to release all the songs on 12-inch EPs. It doesn't sound very practical, even as just an idea, so if this was a real idea, it wouldn't surprise me if it was scrapped because of the money involved. However, in the

Panda Bear and Avey Tare are separate people, and aren't related. They are though, close friends, and they make up the core of Animal Collective (so much so that they released Animal Collective recordings in the past under the name "Animal Collective" without the other two members, Geologist and Deakin). AC has seven, very different releases under their belt, so I suggest that you poke around in their back catalog, and maybe you'll find something that makes sense.

I think it's the shit (in a good way). If by "is Bros and Comfy in Nautica a good indicator of the rest?" you mean is the rest of the album soaked in reverb, has a lot of crazy awesome loops, and Panda Bear does his best Beach Boys-esque vocal impersonation (very well at that), then yes, you're correct. It's a really fun album from start to finish, and it doesn't have anything much in the freak-out department as previous Animal Collective recordings have (save the trippy samples). Don't feel bad or anything about not enjoying "Young Prayer" very much. I mean, it's an album to his dead dad, o

oh hella. This reminds me that I need to get into the rest of Sam Prekop's stuff. I've never listened to his solo stuff, or Shrimpboat. Come to think of it, I have very little of Sea & Cake too.

He didn't produce "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb." Whether or not that that makes them suck now is beyond my comprehension, as I never really enjoyed U2 in the first place, produced by Eno or otherwise.

The last time I read an article about Eno was in The Wire, promoting his new DVD, 77 Million Paintings. In it, he pointed out how many bands have sent him demos and such to get him to produce them, sounding very close to Talking Heads circa "Fear of Music," and that he was getting really tired of it. That said, it should be interesting to see which studio they use for the production. Does he still have Daniel Lanois' phone number? Also, this means that they're done with the new Roxy Music album and that it should be released very soon. Rock.

If I had the gall I'd request that weekend off from work and take a bus out to Chicago just to see him....

My old man was with them on-again, off-again throughout the late 70s to the early 90s. (he was also in various local choirs). When Tel Arc came to town, my dad was lucky enough to be involved when they recorded this:

If you think that's crazy, I love those biologists who are suddenly promoting Intelligent Design. "Humans couldn't have evolved from apes because we have a large number of genes, which makes us too complex." What's funny is that EVERYTHING LIVING has a large number of genes. You also don't have to have a large number of genes to be complex. Doh!

This is what I explicitly remember from my childhood (the late 1980s): Tom Chapin (Harry Chapin's very underrated brother, excellent children's songs) They Might Be Giants' late 80s albums Rosenschantz (very cheesey) The Beatles James Taylor Paul Simon solo (all about Graceland) Peter Gabriel solo Simon & Garfunkel Sesame Street of course A tape my aunt and uncle made of children's lullabys and songs for my mom to play to us classical music and opera various musicals the last two were a result of my dad being a former student of the Cleveland Institute of Music as well as a singer in t

OK, I have WinAmp, but like I said, I'm a bit slow with this stuff. Do I open it as a streaming URL?

Somewhere, my retired history teachers are weeping, as is my choir teacher from middle school. I just confused the Godfather of Soul with a bat-shit crazy white abolitionist. Though I found this while Googling And James probably DID hear of them, both were at the prime of their careers in the 70s. Now for a more important topic: Yes, and like everything else, it's a scientific theory, which means, very roughly, that until someone else comes up with a better way of explaining it, or proves something else as scientific fact, it's the accepted explaination. You can als

whoa, a jim o'rourke boot. Cheers!

Nice, Analogman!

I must be technologically dumb. How does one listen to the podcast? do I need iTunes?

I find this particularly odd. Kansas was one of the most overtly Christian rock bands before Creed came along. And they actually were from Kansas. You know, where everyone thinks evolution is "just a theory." Maybe he has a thing against US-prog rock bands? Or maybe that they have James Brown on the cover...

Who are the Chamber Strings?

It wasn't some of these, was it? The one in the picture is orange, but they come in black, too...

Now that's it not 2 in the morning... I see what you mean now. I also don't see how he can think those brush strokes could be mistaken for a processed guitar. It's pretty clearly a snare being brushed.

You can pick up Bad Timing just about anywhere. Rules for Reduction though is old O'Rourke and came out in 1993. I have no idea what's on it myself, but I bet it's something incredibly "whoa."

Kot's book says that each member created their own sound, and then it was made into the "arch" that it is in the mixing process. Far out.
