Great analysis! But I hope for your sake you don't really cry everytime you hear this song. That sounds emotionally exhausting.

Le Band Extraordinaire - myspace.com/lebandextraordinaire If you like Tom Waits please check us out, our new track is quite Waitsy. Other influences: Wilco, Mingus, Super Furry Animals, 10cc... and/or Sooks - myspace.com/sookstheband This is proggy post-rock math type stuff. If you like Tortoise, Jaga Jazzist, Battles... Would love to hear any feedback.

would be intrigued, but couldn't navigate through the bizarre download screens. do they make them intentionally impossible?

? rumours is ace! the eagles suck, and sbs sounds nothing like them, but likening a band to fleetwood mac is no insult. impossible germany does sometimes bring them to mind actually. next you'll be telling me you don't like tusk...

i was tempted by latitude, but there weren't enough draws for me (having already seen wilco in spring). some wilco-sceptic friends went, so i forcefully suggested they watch wilco and, y'know, get some taste. i'm going to green man, mainly for bill callahan, lilac time, euros childs, battles, fridge, gruff rhys, stephen malkmus. also, it's the most chilled-out festival i've been to.

woah! who? why? if you are someone who finds HMD annoying, please make yourself known and prepare to be gazed at suspiciously (in a 'are you really human?' kind of way). that song is pure pleasure! hmm. good point. forget it. does anyone else REALLY ENJOY singing HMD while walken down the street and "beatboxing" the intro???

i've got love for the drone, though i don't always listen to all of it. i'd prefer it if more tones and textures emerged from it over its duration. its length and the way it contrasts with the rest of the songs gives the album a unique shape. the noise at the end of handshake drugs is really beautiful. a ghost is born is truly an amazing record!

back to the icecream, quite right. the story was basically this: if the thread makes it to 50 pages then the 'managers', 'owners', or whatever-they-are of via chicago (the forum, not the song) buy icecream for everyone who contributed to the thread. awesome. we were happily fillibustering away long after the original point of the topic fell asleep. then they closed the thread at 43 or something! curses! but now the topic has been reborn in this thread, and has quickly become just as vitriolic, misguided, frustrating, and occasionally amusing as the original! hurrah. a new icecream deal i

sorry, not gary! and i'm going home now 'fraid, but keep posting people! we should hit the big five-oh around midnight gmt. perfect!

is this, like, a sex thing? crevices? dude.

i stand corrected.

holy shit! i just realised they were two different people. obviously this is a multiple log-in. if i uncover any evidence that fat.boys 1 and 2 are in fact the same person, i'll make sure 'they' only get one serving of icecream between them.

and jnickerson, don't think that just because you've been staring at a screen all day and all night, and have posted 100 messages in one thread, pissed off tons of people, been called a troll, and dutifully replied to every single question... ...don't think that you're getting any more icecream than anyone else. cos you're not. we're all getting the same amount.
