I haven't posted on this board in forever, but I love love love this album! I might like Stage Names a bit more, but they are both stellar. But even more exciting is seeing them live in Lawrence tomorrow night! I saw them open up for the Decemberists a few years back and am just thrilled to see them again! (so much so I just punctuated 3/4 sentences with exclamation points...!)

I haven't posted here in a very long time, but I had to make a post to represent my native state of Kansas. That said, the list isn't terribly impressive. Kansas (can't miss that one) The Anniversary Ad Astra Per Aspra The New Amsterdams Get Up Kids (not really a very good band, but they might be the most well known) Split Lip Rayfield The Gadjits (they use some other name now) If there are any I am missing, I am interested to know. Oh, and for those of you who live in Georgia: You have to include nearly the whole of the Elephant 6 Collective, they were based out of Athens.

I'll keep it to a trim 10. 10. Modest Mouse- We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank 9. Daft Punk- Alive 2007 8. Sunset Rubdown- Random Spirit Lover 7. Wilco- Sky Blue sky 6. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah- Some Loud Thunder (I almost thought this was a 2006 release, but it squeaks in on January 29th) 5. Deerhunter- Cryptograms (Another January 29th release!) 4. Radiohead- In Rainbows 3. Le Loup- The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations' Millennium General Assembly (despite the obnoxiously long album title) 2. Animal Collective- Strawberry Jam 1. Panda Bear- Person Pitch (This would be #1 on a

I just got Burial's new album, "Untrue", which is a dubstep album, its pretty relaxed and pretty good (I've only given it a few spins though). I also enjoyed The Field's "From Here We Go Sublime" that came out earlier this year. And the new Daft Punk cd is pretty stellar as well, it's got alot of energy and would probably be enjoyed by a 14 year old. I don't know how much a 14 year old would really enjoy the new Black Dice...but I may just be making assumptions based on my own taste in music at 14 (yuck). Edit: I didn't see that virtualreason bought the albums already. I need to read mo

Looks like I might be loading up the car for a road trip to Chi-Town...

I'm not talking about belting it out at the top of my lungs for an entire show, but I like singing along to myself from time to time. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, I don't sing loud enough for anyone around to hear me in a loud concert, let alone annoy anyone. I am also paying 30 dollars, and if it helps me enjoy the show a little more, than I think I am entitled to sing along at reasonable volume. It helps me enjoy a connection to songs I love. Furthermore, I'm not trying to impress anyone around me, I don't need to do that. All I was saying is that Andrew's songs under

Excellent show. A lot of energy. I went with my older sister and some of her friends, who were really really digging on the AM and Being There songs. Fireworks during Spiders could not be any more perfect. I can't believe that no one has mentioned Andrew Bird. I love how his shows sound so different every time. It's near impossible to sing along with him though. I met him after the show too. I liked Tweedy's crack "I taught Andrew Bird everything he knows...".

I just read this! I am so excited! I saw Andrew last monday in Lawrence, and Wilco last wednesday in Columbia...both shows were awesome...and now I feel like I get an encore performance in KC! I already had tickets to the crossroads gig, but that just made it even better! Woooohooo!

I will second (or third, or fourth) that it was a really amazing show. The 2nd encore was freaking amazing, and Spiders was a great way to close out the set. Nels is scary good a guitar...I'm just scared about standing too close to him while he plays...he will melt your face right off. That was my 6th Wilco show (I can't count them on one hand anymore! And they are officially the band I have seen more than any other) and they just continue to bring the rock. I really liked Jeff's line about "Now that we have you guys dancing and enjoying yourself, we are going to play a really depressing

I just comitted to going to the show in Columbia earlier tonight, without knowing Dr. Dog would be opening. Should be a really great show, as I've been digging on Dr. Dog's newest album over the past few weeks. Very excited now.

I am really looking forward to getting my grubby little paws on this one. I saw them live at the end of May, and they played alot of new stuff and it got me pretty jazzed for it. Time to start hunting around for a torrent...

I really like "Retrieval of You", but overall, the album just never really clicked for me. I had kind of forgotten about it in all honesty, maybe I'll give it another chance.

This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About The Lonesome Crowded West The Moon & Antarctica Good News for People Who Love Bad News We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank I would say this is up for debate, as Good News isn't STELLAR...but it's pretty good overall. After ten pages, I'm kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Mr. Treenhorn draws a lot of water in Malibu...you don't draw shit Lebowski! When I read that he thought he "owned Malibu", that scene was the first thing to come to mind.
