They were my favorite back in the KROQ (not-so) Acoustic Xmas days of the mid-90's.  I'm adding that to my library for sure.

oh boy . . . now christmas songs can sound like every other bad religion song.  damn, im supposed to be nice.

listening to the new North Mississippi Allstars

great double lp package for those who like vinyl.. includes a 45 and a really nice large sized 16 page booklet.. link for mp3s..gatefold.. the works… reasonable price..my copy purchased from SOM on 14th Street was autographed..not sure why..

very bluesy album.. kind of like RL Burnside..  really diggin' it…Robert Plant plays harmonica on two tracks..

these guys are playing Friday at the State Theatre and I may check that out…

New Dirtbombs album is brilliant, quite possible the album of the Year!

The Polyphonic Spree album is way out front for my "best of 2013" list.

really . . . wow.  i gave up on them, and had only heard that maybe they had a new album with a strange cover.  but who cared up until now.  thank you for that.  i will go listen and hopefully be back to my normal foaming at the mouth for everything polyphonic spree.  at one time, i worshipped them like an internerd freak like cats.  you see, some threads, work.

You are welcome! Go enjoy it, its pretty great!

http://sebadoh.bandcamp.com/album/defend-yourself

New Sebadoh day! I cant wait for their upcoming show! It has been a few years since I saw them at the 930 Club on their Classic tour. I am definitely enjoying the new songs. I was a fan of the Secret EP, but wished it was a little longer.

Ending a substantial hiatus for the band, "Defend Yourself" is more of an organic reformation than a comeback album. In the words of Lou Barlow, "We were always going to make another record. There was never any point where we looked at each other and said, 'That's it. We're done.' We never actually quit at all– we've been making music this whole time."

Barlow, Loewenstein, and D?Amico haven't wasted their musical talent over the last several years (as evidenced by solo albums, Dinosaur Jr., Fiery Furnaces, Folk Implosion, etc.), however, the Sebadoh name hasn?t surfaced since 1999. Historically speaking, Sebadoh albums have paralleled momentous experiences in Barlow's life– and this recording is no different. "Defend Yourself" is saturated with songs of heartache relating to the divorce from his wife and partner of 25 years. According to Barlow, "Your greatest victories and your most crushing defeats have a tendency to give birth to one other."

The new album also marks a return to the self-recorded DIY ethos of early Sebadoh albums (III, Bakesale, etc.). A handful of sour experiences with major labels led Sebadoh to self-record and self-produce their new album. "We did 'Defend Yourself' the only way it could have been done: on the cheap and all by ourselves," Barlow states. Though this is hardly the band's first experience with home recording, technological advances beyond the 4-track cassette have allowed "Defend Yourself" to easily rank among Sebadoh's most sonically-engaging albums to date.

I was really into them years and years ago.  They used to play/hang out with RL a ton.  Good live.  At least they were 14 years ago!

SPC ECO - sirens and satellites
http://spceco.bandcamp.com/album/sirens-and-satellites
The best father/daughter team making shoegaze, this (mostly) duo recording is a strong full length release from the band (Jarek Leskiewicz is also on a few tracks along with other collaborators). RIYL Curve (Dean Garcia is/was in Curve and SPC ECO), or other beat driven, shoegaze bands.

Placebo - Loud Like Love dropped today!

so killsay, i have to say again, on one of your posts, about the particular choice of bands you make . . . namely this time, sebadoh.  where do i start, beside they are a shit horrible tornado in some states of time while being brilliant heroes amongst others.  how they pull that off is beyond me, but seeing how every fucking lou song on any fucking dinosaur album brings the entire process to a screaching halt, it does not surprize me.  but any way, so i listen to a new sebadoh song, and go, wait a minute, this might be some of the best stuff theyve done in a while.  ok, ill try again.  fucking lou, i swear.
