I tried and tried with that album and could not 'get' it. It is probably up there with my most recent 'biggest dissapointments' and most regretable band melt downs in the last 5 or 6 years. I loved 'alone at the microphone' and I guess the good part of all this is that we get lots of solo releases from Jim Guthrie and Nathan Lawr.

'Take my picture off my wall It don't matter to me all Still eyes heading for a fall...'

Cool. I love me some Todd.

Dirtbombs - We have you surrounded. Still the best thing I've heard this year and in IMO rocks a lot more than QOTSA have for the past little while.

Romi is one of my favourite artists and I really encourage you Brits and Euros to try to see her. She's really that good ('yknow the Karen Allen character in Radiers of the Lost Ark. That's who she is like, except she sings country music) EUROPEAN TOUR DATES: (all dates w/Andrew Neville) May 21, 2008

Toyko Police Club are a younger, thinner version of the Decemberists. I now better understand why I don't find TPC all that appealing.

Damn, didn't get the edit (above) posted in time. Kyle - abso fuckin lutely. Can't even list all the stuff I've gotten into from your posts. Bon Iver, Sun Kill Moon, Frames, etc etc etc ....

Late to the party on Frightened Rabbit. Seems like a lot of people who's taste I trust (Jay, KYLE, MATT, Chris Eaton etc) are liking it a lot.

did Glen play you a C-chord as, urrr, solace, for missing Basia/Devotcha? Seriously that is too bad.

Basia and band sort of semi makes up for London Ontario being the home of this: http://consumerist.com/5008258/tim-hortons...-hole-to-a-baby and the country's largest PCB dumb, just around the corner from the Tim Horton's in the above story. Makes me well up with patriotism and if Obama wins, I'm moving to the relatively industrial-waste-free state of New Jersey. NP:

cool about the Basia love. I've been an avid reader of Holly's (the Ukulele player) Blog about road food: http://hollyrancher.blogspot.com/ It is freekin hilarious. and

Ohh Same! I love that song. i gave my Lps of Funky Kingston and Marcus Garvey to a Rastafarian neighbour a couple years ago. He painstackingly washed and cleaned up the damaged vinyl and gave me back a CDR of each. 'Do you remember the days of slavery? A woot toot' I'm now sure that i must have had some Burning Spear on the obscured Side B of my mix. I musta!

Thanks El. Geez i have not heard any PIL in 20 years. 'I may be right.... I may be wrong' Good idea about trying to reconstruct all these as a playlist. Some of the stuff I wouldn't include on mine anymore (Cult, Cure) because those songs have been played to death. But, fuck, I need to get back into the cramps, gun club, Husker du, OMD. Peel - I love putting those little 2 sec blips of stuff into old tapes and current mixes. It was always so tough to do. I remember putting the wierd between song noises of Dazzle Ships on a mix tape and it took like a day.

yeah - that is certainlly a second nail in the coffin type statement.

Cinco de Mayo - Liz Phair Cinco de mayo, blowout, denial It wasn't fun this time, letting you go What if I never, a bullet forever, Held out my hand to you? We wouldn't have known beautiful flow Absolute measure, I ain't no pleasure hound Bus out of control, ploughing the road Out on a bender Just Alice falling down a deepening hole I'd never been to Rome until you smiled You're about as old and piled Used to pray for snow Now I just wonder What spell I was under Thinking you thought of me as something to hold I'd never been to Rome until you smiled You're about as old and piled C

Never actually heard this before.

Yeah - you two are soooo correct. I'm finding myself singing the songs in the shower and have to immediately put them on. Can't wait to buy the real cd.

What's he like in concert? (and I'm not that familiar with his stuff). Thinking of hitting his show simply because I'll be in the right place at the right time.

Really growing on me.

wow. Think i will put on my Blue Jays Cap and then blow my brains out.

Cheers back! New song on Myspace. Why-o-why am I THIS excited? no way I'd broadcast a total fan girl update like this for almost any other band. http://www.myspace.com/elliottbrood
