Unless the new Tindersticks album stands up with the old stuff, Detroyer is my favorite currently active band. Seven albums and only one of them less than good.

Why aren't there more people here who realize this. Thanks to Slacker, I've heard an awful lot of Ferry's Dylan covers. On the whole, they're surprisingly great. I really like "A Hard Rain..." and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" in particular. It's also kind of cool and weird that they pop up on a bunch of different albums--yeah, there's a ton compiled on Dylanesque, but I think I've seen at least two separate albums that had just one or two Dylan covers tacked on. Well, his early solo albums were largely covers, and yeah, Dylan's songs would occasionally pop up. I can't stress enough that These Foolish Things is worth anyone's time.

I bet it's terrible.

Speaking of stouts, I'm going to Atlanta for a few days next week and am excited to once again get my hands on Terrapin's Wake 'n' Bake Coffee Oatmeal Stout. http://www.terrapinbeer.com/beers/wake.bake.php One of the best stouts I've ever had.

Do the glasses correct her lazy eye, or had I not previously noticed it?

I want to take an ice pick to your brain, EHME.

Jericho2000Mark, if I respected your opinions, I'd feel they were worth taking seriously.

There's so many terrible people in that folder.

Did someone rat me out to Photobucket?

I loved Hincliffe's voice, particularly how it complimented Stuart's on duets like "People Keep Comin' Around" and "Trouble Every Day." And by "guitar-oriented" I didn't necessarily mean rockier than I did the sort of comparatively straighter arrangments found on the first s/t than on the rest of their output. Which, to me, anyway, isn't a bad thing. Also, re missing members, Hinchliffe is the only serious loss. Stuart Staples and David Boulter have long been the the band's principle songwriters.

Time to change that. What seemed like a permanent hiatus for the band has ended, as they're releasing their first new album in five years this April! They have a song off of it, "The Flicker of a Little Girl," on myspace. I like it. Sounds like a return to their more guitar-oriented early stuff. I wonder if Dickon Hinchliffe no longer being in the band (which is a shame, by the way) means the guys have largely dropped the use of strings.

Oh, I was being glib. I'll argue that Pharell's done more harm than good in the years since, however.

Have you forgotten how it felt that day? To see your homeland under fire And her people blown away Have you forgotten when those towers fell We had neighbors still inside goin through a livin hell And you say we shouldn't worry bout Bin Laden Have you forgotten?

There's only one album better than Hunky Dory, and that's Rain Dogs.

Still my favorite album from 2002. I wish Pharell had died after recording it.

It never gets as much love as other New Order singles, but "Regret" is pretty much perfect.

Yes.

Still haven't checked out White Chalk. My lack of interest stemmed from Uh Huh Her being pretty lousy, and the album before that, Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea—which I liked—having came out all the way back in 2000.

Why aren't there more people here who realize this.

I've read enough of your posts in this folder to confidentally state you are one the stupidest, most ignorant people to populate it.

Jeez, only five bands I'd be willing to pay to see; one of which I've seen a few times already and the other I'm seeing in a couple of weeks. Coachella rarely interests me, but this is lamer than usual.

I never saw that movie, so I didn't get what you were going for.

Serious answer: As a child, I had asthma. It gradually declined while I was in elementary school, to the point where now, in my adult life, I get a mild attack—more a minor nuisance than an "attack"—a couple times a year. As such, whenever I get a cold (a rarity itself), it tends to linger a lot longer than it would in most people. So, I got a cold a couple weeks back, which, even after everything else went away, a minor cough remained. I woke up on Thursday morning with a runny nose and mild fever, with the chest pain coming later that evening. It turns out I've had pneumonia before. I was too young to remember, so when the pain—which I originally thought to be a sore muscle—intensified on Friday, I became concerned that it was something more severe: my heart. I quickly put that foolish thought out of my mind, and here we are. I realize I haven't actually answered your question. Honestly, I don't know how I got it. I just know I'm more susceptible to it due to lingering respiration problems from my childhood. Amazing this hasn't happened sooner.

I've no reason to think the stats are skewed. I bought something from cduniverse about a month ago!
