Mods can you ban this guy?

Mikael.

Google maps tells me that's in the Tatra mountains, which are great.

That was the most exciting couple of rock and roll days I've had in a long, time that's for sure...borrowed a friend's wall projecter and stayed up till 5 a.m. to watch the Pitchfork show. Fantastico.

Fantastico! Great job Kalle!

off the top of my head: Blue Mask Lou Reed/Robert Quine Take me with you when you go Jayhawks Gary Louris at least that's what you said maggot brain - p funk

I think somewhere Jay Bennett is smiling.

I was just about to post this: A few listens in now I'm thinking "Yes!" So I guess I agree.

i waited for nine hours on yahoo but five minutes on gmail.

that's what i like about it: best segue they've done since Red Eyed and Blue> I Got You. I think they've been listening to Parquet Courts, who use that trick several times on Light Up Gold.
