Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2005 I still haven't heard any Joanna Newsom. On a slightly related note, I was hoping to go my whole life without hearing the Bravery, but, the other day, the stupid scenester douche running the counter at a local indie store decided to blast them over the p.a. Fucker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2005 I'm hoping this new Decemberists grows on me. It's kinda feh so far, minus a couple of standout songs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2005 Went to my favorite record store around here and they were selling... records! They've converted to LP only. I had to drive another few miles to get to the cd section, they've split it up. I got XTC's Go 2. I haven't heard great things, but it was really cheap, so we'll see. Also picked up Franks Wild Years but I've heard that before. Also, I browsed around in there for a long time, but everybody that was in there when I went in still wasn't done looking when I left. People round these parts thorough with their music shopping apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2005 There's like two, maybe three good songs on Go 2, in spite of what PLAGIARISM! will tell you. Cool artwork, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2005 I listened to it. It's ok to have on in the background, but that was a pretty weird album. It sounds like the kind of album I'd make if I got drunk and had to entertain a six year old's birthday party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2005 They manage to sound like numerous bands on their album, but Talking Heads isn't one of them. So, you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anorak 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2005 The Walkabouts do a brilliant cover of 'On The Beach'. I prefer it to the original. The Handsome Family do a tremendous version of Kris Kristofferson's 'Sunday Morning Coming Down' as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2005 See, the Futureheads sound like XTC circa Drums and Wires, but without Andy Partridge's feyness. Not that being fey is bad. Heavens no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2005 They're not that bad, in a kasabian and keane infested landscape. But they're bad enough to warrant me telling 'Hounds of Love' to fuck off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2005 What if on The Queen Is Dead, the weak link "Vicar In A Tutu" was replaced by "Bigmouth Strikes Again"'s B-sides, "Rubber Ring" and "Asleep"? It would have made the album even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2005 In other news, my female housemate has "Girlfriend In a Coma" as her cell's ringtone. My male housemate is using "London Calling," where I, after spending the last six months switching between "Radio Free Europe" and "Ignition (Remix)," am using "Lola."

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2005 No, you can't, especially after you've heard Morrissey do it live. 'Paint a Vulgar Picture is the one track I would jettison. I HAVE A RINGTONE OF 'THIS TOWN AIN'T BIG ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF US' And thus will never need another. It. Is. Awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2005 I'd trash "I Won't Share You" in a split second. Why did Morrissey think "Hand In Glove" was such a great song? It's kinda bland. Was this some joke I'm not in on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2005 Yeah. I'm undecided as to whether Nick Cave's new Double album could've just been one. There's a couple of duff tracks, but most of the good ones are pretty long. Neither is near his best, but a return to form after a few years of mainly bland offerings.
