Coltrane

I don't think the 930 has listed a show by any decent band on their website prior to the pre-sales or on sales in a long, long time. A lot of shows there don't even show up on their schedule until they are already sold out.

it'd be really surprising if Mogis wasn't a part of the studio recordings.

I would be too, but Mogis wasn't involved in these shows.

This band would be infinitely better if Bill Berry decided he didn't want to be a peanut farmer anymore.

Agreed. Seems to me that he may have served as the editor for the band. I know that a lot of people don't like Out Of Time, Monster, or any of the post IRS releases but I think they were pretty consistent until Bill left the band after New Adventures.

So is the plan to go into the studio or does nobody know or what?

I was wondering the same thing. I wonder if Mogis will still be producing.

The official band site, americanmary.com, has a forum with a thread that may help with this, including links:

Is there a flac of this anywhere? I don't have an account on dime or trader's den.

Anyone know where I can find a discography for The National? Trying to see if I have all the non-album stuff.

Thanks for the recording. Can't wait to hear the new songs.

 

happy b-day to me!

Me too!

I was also wondering what everyone's thoughts were on the Cooley solo album EVER seeing the light of day. I know that Patterson has gone on and on about how long they have played together, but didn't the last guy besides him who put out a solo record get kicked out of the band?

fwiw, this leaked today.

 

it's REALLY good too. i'd have lopped off at least 3 or 4 songs though.

In the spirit of Randy Quaid dumping a hose into a sewer (the shiter was full!) I humbly request the possibility of a pm. In these non oink days I am a slave to release dates - in the old days it was all about buying the meal after you ate. I mean that I was buying something that I had already heard a bunch - if I liked it.

Did that make sense?

I'm sort of surprised that I'm the only one excited about Okkervil River & DBT playing together.

Got an email today from ticketmaster with stuff that is on sale this week:

Drive By Truckers w/Okkervil River

3/28/08

The National

Richmond, VA

Heard about the date last week and I was excited enough about The National finally opening, but Okkervil River opening makes this a can't miss for me.

Where? How?

Anyone know when the National is going to open here in Richmond? Drive By Truckers announced some 2008 tour dates and they are listed as playing there on 3/28/08.

Nobody likes Metric or Apostle?

If you're looking for other BSS related bands, Kevin Drew released an exceptional album this year. Stars' new one is pretty good too.

Both of those are fantastic! Can't wait for the Brendan Canning record to come out next year.

Watched "Almost Famous" the other day and noticed that Rainn Wilson is one of the Rolling Stone staffers.

These are pretty much the only BSS related bands that I haven't heard much from yet - all I have is the Emily Haines record, "Knives Don't Have Your Back".

Thoughts on what to get or where to start?

Radiohead - Hail To The Thief (Vinyl Rip)

A lot of times I think that vinyl rips are bogus, but the mix on the vinyl of this is totally different from the cd. It's as if the syrup that was poured over the master was removed leaving crisp, clear, instrumental seperation and vox.

Really wish that I snagged the other vinyl Radiohead rips off of Oink before it was shut down. This is really great.

 

First chance I've had to listen to this.

Thoughts?

What a blast of a show at the 930 last night. With Neko and Dan up there that is an awful lot of folks making great music in and out of the band.
