oh just trying to stir things up by insulting Chris. If the comparison had been made to Nick Cave, Tindersticks etc, it would have been pretty good, but f'ing Crash Test Dummies, that is a cheap and unthinking shot.

yeah, the planet-husband guy is a huge Deerhoof fan and I'm pretty sure he thinks Milk-Eyed Mender is the best release of the century, so it's easy to discount everything he says. rest of you see the concert a emporter shows? http://www.blogotheque.net/article.php3?id_article=2839 f-ing fantastic.

2 more songs on French radio, which begs the question - the French don't oink? Only heard 4 songs from the damn thing, but totally being a fan girl, this sounds like the best thing I've heard this year.

oh shit, looks like I'm going to be stuck here the whole summah well what a bummah

for lots of varied reasons, might I add

Tee hee. Jay (the member here) was pulled into some YSI gotcha thing last week. The label said ' The National - Boxer (2007)' yet the insides of the zip file was lesbian porn. Hope the real thing leaks soon.

they are up in unplugged and outside format at 'Take away shows' http://www.blogotheque.net/concertaemporter/ Looks like they got a flamenco guitarist guest for 'Ada' and I certainly get a Django Reinhart feeling from it all. Can't wait for this as well.

well, 2 songs from it. 'Ada, put the sounds of your house in a song Try to be speechless for a minute'

'A mulatto, an albino/ A mosquito, my libido, yeah!'

Hitting Women

Be on my side, I'll be on your side

Bavu Blakes - Southern Man wow. (yes it's that Southern Man) http://www.austinsound.net/Compilations/So...thern%20Man.mp3

Oh yeah, I'm really loving the Thompson DVD, Have not seen him for a long long time and this certainly bringing back memories. on to

'When I think I'm off the hook She twists the knife again'

True! And musically I don't think they've topped it. I know people are devoted to Fully Completely and Up to Here, but that CD was the first one where the straight-ahead (and somewhat boring) blues-rock rhythm section got dropped.

'Pavement gently wrestling with Buck Owens on a carpet of ironic bullshit'

Isn't it just great? I always though they should title their best of 'More Song about Prisons and Hockey', but alas.

oh geez yeah - did the same thing a couple years ago, for the same reasons. It was terrible Gotta add a trainwreck Cat Power solo show as well. I don't think I heard one song in the 45 minutes spent standing by the stage after she came on. I will never be a fan because of it.

mogwai, but my ears were bleeding, so it's kinda my fault.

Hmm, I like that cokemachineglow review - but I think he's wrong dissing the organ. I get reminded of the extremely plodding 'Great Protestant Hymns' of like, Virgil Fox. It's what you heard every Sunday growing up English in Westmount - Montreal's affluent Anglais section. I get the feeling that the reviewer is comparing the organ parts to some funky Hammond B3 line in a Motown piece and you can't really do that without being unfair. Neon Bible takes a 'High Anglican' sound and appropriately puts in into an album of protest and lament. Love the thing, much more than Funeral. Its seems to y

a certain UT geek pointed out that combining The Search with SBS would be make a great record. Personally I haven't listened to each enough to pick favourites and duds. But here are the ground rules - Choose roughly an equal number of songs from each and post a track listing. You have a limit of 12 tracks. to 'Search the Sky Blue' (or whatever other name you want to come up with) from a reformed Uncle Tupelo

http://www.myspace.com/maryweiss 2 songs up. I plan on getting it after Easter from the Norton records website.
