Fridays must come early in your minty conservative northlands
Hooray! A new post. I just couldn't look at the other post anymore.
Fridge note: I miss you UC!
Fruit bats!!!!
I just read on Pitchfork that Grandaddy is calling it quits. Pinko introduced me to Grandaddy back when The Sophtware Slump came out, and it really changed my musical interests and reawoke indie music for me. Look for an upcoming all Grandaddy poop shoot and SoftD in the near future.
Ouch. Well, at least nowadays bands can break-up and then reunite whenever they get bored.
Also, 3 cheers for Fiery Furnaces. I saw them twice in '05. Too bad my list is already up or I might have to edit it.
Fulsome, DUUUUDE, I can't believe you called my home phone last night! I sooooo thought Pinko and I were still anonymous internet people.
Pinko has been "away" because he still can't move after his Brazilian wax on Monday. All of our frozen veggies have been thawed over and over again by his thighs.
Shh, I still only refer to you by your trademarked name and my imaginary typo, never fear.
Also, I thought you were the clean one here. It's going to take a Tragic Tranny(TM) to overcome that mental image.
Hey, I am clean. Not one swear word in any of those comments!
fridge note: You now look great in that thong PP. 
Ooh, wahey the Lab! And Nihilist Assault Group is a strong tune. But not as strong as Outer Accelerator, Wow and Flutter or (and only becuase it is the least Stereolablike of Stereolab tunes) Perversion. For that matter, look into NEU!, the 1970s Krautrock band that Lab most shamelessly ripped off, esp. Hallogallo.
Afficionados should also consider looking into McCarthy, Tim Gane's pre-Lab band. Much more guitary and mainstream, but only relatively so.
and oh yeah, the music.
I reall like heather Nova's voice, and not many females play slide guitar, but yeah, her style overall lacks something.
Stereolab was one of the best, yet least eventful, shows i ever went to.
Mrs Tilton- there is a Kasabian song that completely lifts the Hallogallo groove- the part of the song where you are all "this just got good"
I completely know what you mean about the Stereolab show. It was technically dazzling and hypnotic, yet almost entirely forgettable as well. I think Stereolab is a better couch listen than live listen.
They sound the same either way, but their speakers are better than mine.
Retro Chuckles post:
Who is (fill in the blank)?
Burned By the Sun isn't really a Beulah song. I mean, it's them performing it, but they didn't write it. Someone requested it during one of their last shows in Chicago a couple of years ago, and Miles said he didn't remember how to play songs he didn't write. But Coast... is probably in my top ten albums of all time, and they were really nice guys. They'd always hang out and chat after shows.
I thought Stereolab was actually pretty good live, though I admit I'm easy to please. But yeah, it would definitely sound better if you were in a lounge somewhere. And actually, I prefer the track right after "Nihilist..." which is "International Colouring Contest". They're back in town in March (a day after Mazarin, whom I highly reccomend).
As for McCarthy, they came on an internet radio thingy I had going on Rhapsody once, I think it was "Should the Bible Be Banned" and I liked the song enough that I bought their greatest compilation CD, which honeslty, I hardly ever listen to. That guy's voice just starts to bug after a while.
w00t!!! Tragic Tranny shout-out!
First Dex, now Fulsome... I gotta get my chix-wit-dix act together...
Seitz,
is that the McCarthy LP with the guy with a knife between his teeth on the front? If so, just make a songlist with '...Bible...', 'Well of Loneliness', 'The Myth of the North/South Divide', 'Frans Hals' and 'We Are All Bourgeois Now', and you'll have all the McCarthy you'll ever need.
Some arsepudding at National Review Online was looking for 'good conservative rock & roll songs', so I suggested 'We Are All Bourgeois Now' to him. I don't read NRO, though, so I have no idea whether he fell for it.
BTW, technically speaking I believe we should be talking about 'Mars Audiac Quintet'. Thanks, Uncanny C., for all the alt.countryoid suggestions; I'll have to look into them. I've been listening to a lot of Calexico lately, and if the stuff you suggest is anything like that it can't be all bad.
Ah, Mrs. Tilton. I hadn't heard of Calexico until they started collaborating with Iron & Wine. Now I'm taking a closer look...
UC double hearts Iron and Wine. (Right Schmoopies, wink, wink).
Sorry for the fridge note.
Yeah, that's the one. It's a compilation of some sort. Some of it is really good, but some I could take or leave.
Donde esta PP?
I think he's dating Marie Jon. He doesn't want anyone finding out though. Either that or the fling he had with Ann Coulter may have been more than we think.
Ann Coulter is preggers and trying to find an abortion clinic that will help her out. Too bad she had them all shut down.
