last night i made a late decision to catch the closing show of Belle And Sebastian's European tour, in Dublin. they'd played on Monday night as well at Vicar Street, same venue that Jeff played a solo show earlier this year, and the set lists looked good so i figured what the hell. fun show, though i could have used more than one song from Sinister, it was nice hearing three from Tigermilk. i've never seen a band that had four different people play bass for at least one song during the set. groovy dance party via Stuart invite on Boy w/ the Arab Strap, too. glad i went. Here is Stuart w/ a Ve

the cover is amazing.

Pretty swell. I think.

Right on!!

hey PopTodd, you seem to be deep into the Brazilian sound... you ever hear this record? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUyvtwSV6A8

it's really strange that they are not releasing this... the record's finished and press copies were sent out.

now this is a rock show. wow that's a weird bill. i saw waxahatchee open for someone last year (New Pornographers) and i did not get the appeal at all.

new Grouper song https://soundcloud.com/kranky/grouper-parking-lot/s-1V3kb

saw Godspeed You! Black Emperor last night. pretty epic.

Yob has a new record out in June. and there was much rejoicing.

lol... a million dollar goal. Go Fund Me? Go Fuck Yourself.

as posted on my facebook feed, after the last two records, i am starting to question Neko's decisions regarding cover art.

Colbert has been killing it lately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgqy3o6ec-8

there are a ton of awesome punk rock songs and GBV songs that clock in under 120 seconds, so i'll skip those. they don't have a lot of short songs, but this is a great lead track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOR985mD0W8 i forgot you can't embed more than one video... four is the max # of images one can post. oh well. speaking of great intros, this is called "Intro" and features an aborted start that they decided to leave in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PYE93D3ODw i first learned of this song via Helmet's cover. still a good one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1q2oj1UcTs l

man this song is so good. the type that really affects you in a deep way. me, anyways.

i was masturbating to cave paintings when i was 14.

Diet Cig and Spook School (and some other band in the middle).

people tend to hunt more with rifles than handguns. no reason why an 18 year old can't buy a hunting rifle, imo.

one of my all time favorite LP covers.

ok, runner up... 4:15. Nick and Blixa sounding like an airplane engine with bad bearings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pV1_nTV_wA

on this version of that cd, if you start the cd but then hit rewind, you'll access "Spaced Out." https://www.discogs.com/Super-Furry-Animals-Out-Spaced/release/1138011 they also did this on Guerilla: https://www.discogs.com/Super-Furry-Animals-Guerrilla/release/421722 i have a John Cale CD that has a track 0, and a couple of others as well.

do you have the CD? if so, do you know about the secret track?

if you only knew...
