Wow, their press release is extremely misleading.

So apparently Jack White wrote these "avant garde orchestral songs," recorded them, and is putting them out on XL Recordings. I just listened to three tracks posted on the myspace, http://www.myspace.com/alumiiinium , and some of its sounds pretty cool. Its called ALUMIIINIUM, and its kind of weird. MySpace has the whole press release etc. on there.

Just saw:

The Strokes

M. Ward

Built to Spill

Up Next:

Jenny Lewis

Islands

TV on the Radio

Bob Dylan

Death Cab for Cutie

The Elected

I play To Go Home in dropped D. Opens with a fully strummed D chord...and then i play the ascending part like this:

e -x- x- x- 3--------------

B -3- 5- 7- x--------------

G -4- 4- 4- 4-------------

D (5)(5)(5)(5)-------------

A -x- x- x- x---------------

D -5- 5- 5- 5----------------------

Obviously you need to strum it in rhythm but thats the fingerings i use, that 7 on the B may be a bit of a reach with the pinkie so you can play it as 2 on e.

The rest of the song is pretty easy. The only chords used are D A and G. Id do it all out but my roomate is sleeping and i cant play anything. Hope what i tabbedmakes sense.

VelvetUnderground - VU and Nico

Beatles - Revolver, i think, maybe Rubber Soul

Wilco - AGIB

Neil Young - After the Gold Rush

Silver Jews - American Water

Pavement - Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pixies - Surfer Rosa

Weezer - Pinkerton

Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

JayZ - The Black Album

edit: Damn, i would change that list but that was gut reaction

I'm just about finished up with Disc One right now and it is damn near perfect. "One Big Holiday" and "Lowdown" are early favorites, but no weak cuts yet. A heads up for those who may not know, the vinyl will have an extra four tracks not available on the cds, mine's on order already. Can't wait for the upcoming tour, I'm gonna try for 3 or 4 shows.

Where did you order the vinyl from? When does the vinyl version come out?

David Fricke is a giant d-bag. This is what i generally do when he is brought up:

Was reading pitchfork's interview with Tapes N Tapes' Josh Grier:

>> Best Thing I Bought This Year

 

Summerteeth on vinyl. I'd been looking for it for years, and I freaked out when I found it. It was only $30 in this tiny record shop in London that's only open two days a week. The store is run by two old men. Apparently, years ago, they used to run the store together, but then they got into an huge argument. Now they don't talk to each other, and they each run one side of the shop (it's split down the middle). They just sit at their own counters facing each other all day and shoot each other mean glances. I'm totally fucking serious. When I found Summerteeth, I got freaked out that I was going to accidentally buy it from the wrong guy, and then they would get all offended and not let me get it. But luckily I didn't fuck it up.

30 Bucks for the elusive ST vinyl?

Heres the full link to the article: link

Got this on vinyl for 2.99. Its still awesome.

ylt, not much to discuss

This record is fantastic and I would say that its the most "immediate" of the YLT records I have heard. Definitely check it out if your new or old to YLT.

I really like the bigger sound hes getting despite the fact there arent too many people on stage. The whole two drummers thing is absolutely amazing and really took the live performances to another level.

Just saw him tonight in Boston, played two encores, the set totalled an hour and half. It was amazing, I dont think it needs any more elaboration around here but it was certainly one of the best shows ive seen in a while.

I wish I was reminded of OTB by the new songs. Then I might be kind of looking forward to a new Wilco record.

umm...i'm going to go ahead and second that

Just saw that "Wax Fang" are opening the first dates (up to 11/22 in louisville) and "The Slip" are opening the second half (start 11/24 in Chicago) anyone know about either of these bands?

This record is going to be absolutely amazing, even the coldplay song. HOV for life.

I just got an email from amazon saying that it wouldnt ship until november 3. So i canceled my order and went for the wilcoworld pre order, a little more expensive but it will come on time.

I would also venture to guess its going to be more than 13.99 on Wilcoworld.

done. also pre-ordered the new Beck for 12.99

and i will add:

swan lake and the hold steady, one of which is awesome, one of which is pretty ok.

Where can I hear either of these? I have heard one or two mp3s from each of these releases but nothing more. I checked on indietorrents neither are up and I'm not an Oink member.

ill add

TV on the Radio (tommorow in the US, a while ago in UK)

Justing Timberlake (tommorow, yeah I heard it, yeah its pretty good, for those interested its streaming on mtv.com "the leak")

edit: yeah the new YLT is really awesome

woxy just played im the man who loves you...yeah im sad to see it go too, probably the only internet radio station i listen to.

the Minneapolis show last night was amazing

It seems to me that the band is continuing to move in the direction and momentum they've been in over their entire career from A.M. to AGIB.

I think they are definetly taking a step backwards or at least to the side with this new material. Nothing groundbreaking here, for them or for music in general. We will see, its possible (i hope) that the studio versions of these tunes may come out completely different.

Theres a few here.
