Neko Case - People Gotta Lot Of Nerve Polvo - Lucia Dinosaur Jr - Pieces Kurt Vile - Blackberry Song Om - Cremation Ghat (pts 1 and 2) Baroness - Swollen and Halo Bill Callahan - All Thoughts Are Prey To Some Beast [this is the best song i've heard all year] Boston Spaceships - Radical Amazement Death - Politicians In Their Eyes Harvestman - By Wind and Sun Kylesa - Unknown Awareness Papercuts - Once We Walked In The Sunlight The Reigning Sound - The Bells Sonic Youth - Massage The History Super Furry Animals - White Socks/Flip-flops The Flaming Lips - Convinced of the Hex The Mary Onettes - D

yep, although they only have 3 members which makes it easier. and aerosmith has had defections in the past. i think U2 would be the next in terms of total years. edit - Cheap Trick does indeed pre-date U2.

to do this, the single would have to have radio (or some similar vehicle) have significance once again...not sure that's gonna happen in our increasingly fractious world...

i bought a copy of the Chijimi 10" from Bonnie Prince Billy and it came w/ a download coupon for _Beware_. but not the songs from the record i bought. of course, it was $20 for that 10".

i guess it comes down to yr particular appetite for hard rock, but they had a string of records to be proud of. dream on draw the line lord of the thighs seasons of wither no more no more lick and a promise sweet emotion some good stuff there for sure.

what about emusic? i find it strange that Koretzky doesn't sell via iTunes. drag city is a kickass label though...so many good bands and records...

Polvo's _In Prism_ sounds so great on LP.

i have bought one digital-only download, a 4 song EP from a british folk outfit (Sand Snowman). other than that, it's physical artifacts all the way. over the last 18 months, for new purchases i've bought 80% LPs, 20% cds.

aerosmith hasn't been relevant in decades. but it sounds like Perry wants to recruit someone for vocals. what's gary cherrone up to?

wow, that's tragic.

and don't forget their last record: http://www.touchandgorecords.com/bands/album.php?id=414 btw, this place makes some look-alikes (Buzzo has been playing one for the past year, as have the guys in Torche). http://electricalguitarcompany.com/models.html

In Shellac, both Weston and Albini play one:

the Tortoise box is very good (and cheap!) but it's mostly released material.

big shows are tightly orchestrated in terms of start and stop times because of things like a hard curfew...venues pay sizable fines for overstepping these limits. club shows still have this this sort of environment though. i was at a show last night that the band didn't get on until 11:15 or so. yeah it was later than i'd have liked, and i have a 30 mile trip back home afterwards, but it won't kill me. that said, i don't get up at 5. more like 7.

The Sun Dial - Other Way Out best neo-psych record ever.

i got a laugh out of this, as i have no idea who this guy is: he's completely off the radar here: Drag City is easily one of the best labels ever. if that's what's wrong w/ Chicago, please pray for more fuckups. i just most of that rambling screed. what a waste of time.

oh, Xenakis is a guy name-checked by electronic/avant hipsters...i have this one (it's been a while since i listened to it): http://www.discogs.com/Iannis-Xenakis-Electronic-Music/release/154491 i have two Young 2CD sets (the ones that are in purple). some german-based title, i think? holy damn who would buy this? http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000009HZ9/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&qid=1256929640&sr=8-1&condition=used are you familiar w/ Natural Snow Buildings? they do some really nice earthy/folky drone stuff...the new _Shadow Kingdom_ is excellent. other good dro

i have some of the above-listed. the LmY stuff gets tedious. of that list, i like Mimir the best. Mirror and other Heeman stuff is good as well. how about Xenakis?

'psychedelic rock' is the most abused tag ever applied to music...so much so that it's almost meaningless. however, i will trot out a few of my favorite records which could either induce a different state, or sound really good while under the influence of something psychoactive... Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun Butthole Surfers - Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac Charalambides - Historic 6th Ward Dungen - Ta Det Lungt Flying Saucer Attack - Rural Psychedelia Sun Dial - Other Way Out Espers - Espers II Comets on Fire - Blue Cathedral Religious Knives - Resin Spacemen 3 - The Perfect

12 full-lengths. they just qualify. oops, not anymore: Jets Part 2 (My Two Days As An Ambulance Driver) Bad Days (Aurally Excited Version) How Will We Know? (Futuristic Crashendos) Riding To Work In The Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now)

except for the 'track 0' ones...those are cool.

more Lips: Gingerale Afternoon (The Astrology of a Saturday) Talkin' 'Bout The Smiling Deathporn Immortality Blues (Everyone Wants To Live Forever) You Have To Be Joking (Autopsy of the Devil's Brain) Jets (Cupid's Kiss vs the Psyche of Death)

Blue Oyster Cult - "Mistress of the Salmon Salt (Quicklime Girl)"

that was the name of a cdr i made, compiling Wilco b-sides. a similarly constructed Pavement cdr was named '40 different shades of black'
