Muzzle of Bees is a great blog.

good day, sirs and ma'ams.

yeah, got through all but the last two songs. some of the songs, i think, will be really good once i have an actual copy to listen to away from the computer. it is a little droney and ethereal, but i like that. could use an upbeat number or two. cover art is really nice, though.

on NPR right now. I like.

i have started recording a 4 song EP. extra excited!

this is sounding so good right now.

whose review are you talking about? PFork's? cause i know they had Neon Bible in their top 2 or 3 of 2007, didn't they?

nothin to apologize for. i'm in the same boat. all the songs feel/sound very similar and don't go anywhere. but i felt the same about Neon Bible for about a year and half and only really started to like it in october of last year. maybe Suburbs will be the same way.

it doesn't justify a 9.8? i guess..

that's just insane.

it's a boring album. tried to listen to it again yesterday and couldn't get through it. guess i'll let it sit for a while.

there's not a song on there that wows me. gonna take more listens i guess.

the difference in sound between this and Funeral is just insane. It's like two totally different bands.

yeah i'm digging this. it feels lighter than Neon Bible, but I do like Neon Bible a lot. So far I'm digging the first three songs quite a bit. Modern Man is really cool.

ditto that.

seconded. loving Bushwick Blues.

my top four looks something like this: 1. Gayngs - Relayted 1a. The National - High Violet 1b. The Tallest Man On Earth - The Wild Hunt 2. Beach House - Teen Dream a VERY distant 3rd is The Winter of Mixed Drinks by Frightened Rabbit.

my Rangers finally make a real trade for a real ace. sports pants are all messy. it's true. and i'm not sure they won't be able to sign him. i think the court process will be over by december.

Little Red Corvette is so fucking catchy. And really well done. etc etc etc.

what's with radio DJs who are so overly wordy?

excellent Milwaukee band. a little Wilco-y (in all the good ways).

ps - if anyone knows a better reverb pedal, please post a link. Holy Grail isn't getting the best reviews from what I've seen.

i'm pondering getting the Holy Grail reverb pedal. question, though: if i have a reverb knob on my amp, is this a waste of money? i'm using a Hot Rod Deluxe by Fender, btw.
