Comments which don't warrant a thread.

I also agree.

New Interpol on July 10th. Cool.

[Guest Richard McBeef]

Let's talk Son Volt. I liked Trace quite a bit, but the songs weren't as individually memorable as the ones on Uncle Tupelo's Anodyne and Wilco's Being There. Good sound, though.

[Giuseppe Zangara]

I haven't listened to Son Volt since early in my Wilco fandom, which was about ten years ago. I didn't much care for SV then; I should check them out again.

[vivalaultra]

Trace was really good. Their new album is pretty good. I haven't heard much in between. I caught about 15 minutes of them at Austin City Limits last year and they were good-sounding. They outdrew the New Pornographers. Austin loves alt. country.

[snuffbox]

Lollapalooza will be my first time actually seeing Son Volt.

[Guest Richard McBeef]

I think this is the sort of thing that might be better car listening than desk listening. I'm gonna earmark this for when I drive down to Bloomington this summer; this feels like it'll really work downstate, which is where I think they're all from, anyway.

[King Kamala]

Aw man! White Stripes are coming to Portland on July 22nd! I'm there! Especially since it's a rare thing when somebody good comes to Maine.

[Ravenbomb]

nvm, wrong thread

[Guest Smues]

Bobby Boris Pickett died today at age 69. The Forest Slash sucked, but the Monster Mash was and still is awesome. RIP Bobby.

[King Kamala]

Aw man, one of my favorite old school novelty songs! RIP Bobby Boris

Here's the lineup for the Virgin Festival in Baltimore, August 4/5 in B-more.

wait where

 

I wonder if Lollapalooza is worth it this year. I know Regina Spektor is gonna be there! I'm going to check that list.

[snuffbox]

Bawlmer, hon. I should add the location a few more times but instead will correct the original sentence.

 

I'm going to Lollapalooza.

[Guest Richard McBeef]

Let's meet up when !!! is playing and have arguments that just consist of ad hominem shots unrelated to the actual topic.

[vivalaultra]

So, lately I've been thinking about downloading some Squirrel Nut Zippers...

That sound you hear is Czech breaking the speed of sound to burn this puppy for his personal collection.

[Lord of The Curry]

Anderson Cooper was doing a story on snitchin' tonight and at the end the final shot showcased a pulsing beat and a blue and red graffiti-style graphic with none other then Killa Cam.

 

AC has no clue that by showing Cam on CNN he's given him so, so much more to talk about.

[Darthtiki]

So I went to this free concert at my school tonight and the opening act was Consequence which ended up becoming a surprise performance by Kanye West. Also, Shiny Toy Guns headlined which wasn't too bad.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

Drum Battle: Buddy Rich vs. Animal

 

[Guest Richard McBeef]

Awesome find. This inspired me to find "Channel One Suite," which I haven't listened to post-crash.

[cbacon]

New Interpol single is really good.

 

This album better leak soon.

[Guest Richard McBeef]

Oh sweet. The Buddy tapes.

What are people's opinions here on Clap Your Hands Say Yeah?

 

I can't get a read on if this is a band I'd get made fun of for liking here or if other people do to. Usually I know these things right away but I'm in the middle on this one.

 

I really enjoy Details of the War, The Skin of my Yellow Country Teeth, and Upon the Tidal Wave of Young Blood

[Giuseppe Zangara]

I never made it past the first four songs on their debut, thanks to the one of the most annoying fuckwits to sing for a rock band, regardless of subgenre.

[snuffbox]

I enjoyed their set at Bonnaroo last year for the most part. I was a bit distracted by the highest temperatures of the weekend, though.

[Henry Spencer]

I saw them live for five dollars, passed out on a bench about three songs into the set, and woke up covered in vomit (I assume it was my own, but I can't be sure of that).

 

These were my Nikki Sixx days.

[Edwin MacPhisto]

I like a handful of songs, especially "Let the Cool Goddess Rust Away," "Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth," and "In This Home on Ice." The rest is hit or miss but I love those tracks. Haven't listened to the new album at all yet.
