  1. I have been able to find most RSD things way cheaper after RSD...I just purchased the Iron and Wine Morning Becomes Eclectic LP/CD for $8, brand new...It was $20 for the Black Friday RSD thing... My record store still has multiple copies of the box set...I would buy it if I could get it for round $20...
  2. Oh man, I am the exact opposite - I am really liking this one a lot...It was really immediate for me. I really hated his last 2 records (solo and the last pumpkins one), so a slight return to form is okay with me, and I'm pretty sure this is Billy's way of waving the white flag...for Billy Corgan circa 2012, Oceania is not a bad record. He made it with his fans in mind, which kinda humanizes him...The guitars are great, the bass is great, drumming is ok and his voice is ok... Don't really care for Quasar starting off the album(sounds to much like Siva filtered through the Machina-era sound to
  3. Can't wait to download this...for free. 14 vinyl discs, that's insane!
  4. I've given it about 4-5 listens now. It's pretty good and sounds like a natural step forward.
  5. Not bad...on my 4th listen And it's the best thing Corgan has put out in a decade...
  6. I honestly don't know how much longer they can stretch their sound...and I don't see them doing another album. I have enjoyed the singles series and have been anticipating the album for a while. Don't get me wrong, I like it a lot, but I can't help but feel somewhat disappointed by the results. I think it was kind of a cop-out by adding Younger Us to the album, albeit a re-recorded version. It's my favorite Japandroid song and perfectly encapsulates their sound/feel, but I have had that song for almost 2 years now. I guess I set my hopes too high... On a related note, the single/album we
  7. So far the Shins, Beach House and Japandroids are tops for me. The Beach House album is gorgeous. The Japandroids is great but it feels like Post-Nothing pt. 2. The Shins has to be my favorite though: it's one of those records that feels like it's better than it should be. Seriously, it has barely left my cd player in my truck.
  8. I love Okemah and ACD - both are great. The Search is different and I agree with Vacant Horizons: Methamphetamine is one of the best songs he's written!
  9. Yeah...my wife listens to Top 40 radio every morning and if I hear this song one more time...I will scream.
  10. I kinda like the cover -it's very un-smashing pumpkins. I'm actually still cautiously optimistic about Oceania. I mean, it has to be better than Zeigeist, right? I still dig most of the TBK material. But in all honesty, I'm still more pumped for the reissues.

  12. So outta the loop these days....is there a place to legally download the third disc or any plans to release them as a separate package/download?
  13. I saw them live sometime before the release of Hissing Fauna (like while they were recording HF I think, so 5-6 years ago) and they played nothing but Satanic Panic/Sunlandic Twins/HIssing Fauna material. It was awesome. One of the best concerts I've seen. I could have seen them last week, but I didn't. However, I have had very little use for their albums past HF. I picked up the one after HF and thought it sucked and I literally haven't listened to a single album of theirs since. A song or two will come up on a playlist shuffle or something but I have no desire to listen to them on p
  14. http://www.richardbuckner.com/#!listen New Richard Buckner songs from the unreleased movie soundtrack.
  15. Curious about opinions on recent Lemonheads concerts...How have other's experiences been? I went last night to see them and they were awful. Many band mistakes and Dando, not surprisingly, was really, really high. He barely moved, sung off key and in general didn't seem to give a shit. Played way fewer songs than he had been playing. He looked like inches away from death and probably hadn't bathed in a few days/weeks.
  16. Richard Buckner tomorrow and the Lemonheads on Wednesday. Archers of Loaf in May...
  17. Smashing Pumpkins - Pisces Iscariot If this reissue gonna be anything like the last 2, it's gonna be great. Pisces is freaking great as-is...expanded plus a vinyl reissue = awesome.
  18. This. I've been saying this for years! I'm surprised they haven't been already. FOO FIGHTERS 2013!
  19. Sounds a lot like the Sebastopol Demos: they weren't too different from the regular release mixes but just enough to say they're different.
  20. The only concert I have ever fallen asleep at...and I was in a room of geriatrics too (Maybe not geriatrics, but I was like 24-25 and there was a good 30 year gap between myself and the next "youngest" person).
  21. No real order: Sebadoh/Lou Barlow - 90% Great Indie rock, still have to skip some of the earlier lo-fi noise. Wilco - 90% SBS and W(TA) lower this percentage a lot for me, pretty good with everything else though. Guided by Voices - ~66% Seriously, Bob is a great song writer and probably one of the best out there but at least 1/3 isn't my cup of tea (Circus Devils, Acid Ranch, most recent solo stuff). Neutral Milk Hotel - 95% Only two albums, so very skewed. The Mountain Goats - ~66% Same as Robert Pollard, lots of songs, I'm some what put off by his earlier records. Later period TMG i
  22. Yes. You can pre-order now on I-tunes. I'm gonna wait for the vinyl though....
