What Are You Listening To?

Is that a new phrase for buying music?


It's a euphemism for masturbation.

listen, bitches.


I rather enjoyed that…will be stuck in my head all day.


This is pretty boring.  I mean, it's pleasant and all…but whatever.
i'm thinking the same about Peter Gabriel's covers album "Scratch My Back".  Everything ends up sounding like a slowed Gabriel song with nice string arrangements…
I just spent the better part of a day and a half listening to almost every of Montreal album back to back.  I still don't get what the fuss is; they have like one great single for a bunch of shitty funk songs.  I did enjoy The Gay Parade and Aldhils Arboretum through The Sunlandic Twins, but man, I have no clue why people love them.  I guess paper mache monsters go a long way…

On the flip side, how awesome is Egyptian Shumba by the Tammys?  That's like, riot grrl from the 60s action.

I really hope Marcus gets a chance to release some of this new stuff.
Mix 107.3 x.x i hate work.
Bela Lugosi's dead 12"

I don't think I'd heard the original 12" before…its nearly 10 minutes long.

8.99 for a CD copy at the indie store 3 blocks from our house.
Without trying to out-curmudgeon Kosmo, I'm not getting what all the fuss is about this Tutus Andronicus album? Its shouty, the songs are too long and not that catchy, the "lets repeat one sentence 18 times" choruses are annoying. Soundwise its like a weird mishmash of Springsteen, The Pogues and punk……anyway, its lunchtime at the nursing home so I'm off…. :)

Read about this on PFK today (got 8.7 for what its worth) and pulled it down. I liked their previous one but it kind of faded after awhile. I've only listened to this through once but its also very good though. These guys like anthems, and most of the songs are of the uplifting, sing-a-long variety. Sometimes it sounds a little too earnest and good ol' American, like a harder rocking Bright Eyes, but it sounds pretty good. I expect to like it for a few weeks and then move on (or put Daughters back on).

Next up is the new Caribou, which I'm looking forward to as I loved Andorra


I was just steaming that one off Lala.com and wondering just about the same thing… it basically came off on first listen like even longer Hold Steady songs.  really did little to spark my interest…

But what do you do with the CD after you rip it?
The new She and Him may be my favorite album yet this year.

And this one is actually quite good, too.



Every time I get a new Love is All album, I think "Man, I should listen to this band a lot more often."  Then I forget until the next album comes out.

I'm such a musical luddite. I love my twin towers of thousands of CDs and I actually still grab CDs every morning to listen to in the car on my way to work. Have an Ipod hookup but don't feel safe using it while driving.
