Kinda listening/watching here. I think St. Vincent is super-boring, but this was pretty cool:

I'm no fan of Elvis, but i think i would have rather heard her do Radio Radio.

This album is undoubtedly my favorite of 2011… Battled hard with Kurt Vile's - Smoke Ring for my Halo, but this album is just damn near perfect.

Double Album, 45's.
Listening to it LOUD.

As with many tribute albums, it is part crap, part mediocrity, and some standouts.
If you really, really like Dylan covers, this site is for you:

am i the only person who can listen to an album too much? i just put in silent shout (the knife) and listened to it, and yes i know it has been like the hundreth time, and then for some reason, this time . . . eh, not as good. it is what happened to dinousaur jr's first two albums. i worshipped them at one time, and now find them to stink.

Shoegaze from Brasil's best free net label.

? Tweedledum ? Guitars
? Tweedledee ? Guitars
? Humpty Dumpty ? Voice and Guitars
? Jabberwock ? Drums
? Red Queen ? Bass and Voice
This Lonely Crowd no país de Doppeldanger
Mientras tanto, uma encomenda: fazer o release de Doppeldanger, coletânea de lados b do This Lonely Crowd, quinteto formado em Curitiba, já classificado como uma trombada fatal entre o Slowdive e o Smashing Pumpkins. Com peso suficiente pra soterrar ambas. Em qualidade de áudio e talento vistos poucas vezes no rock independente.
Não é sempre que cai no teu colo o disco de uma banda brutal vinda de um gênero às vezes chegado numas frescuras. O shoegaze pariu petardos incríveis por aí desde que nasceu, entre o fim dos 80 e o início dos 90, mas algumas tranqueiras afetadas vieram no vácuo, de franjinha ensebada e som estéril. O TLC vem das poderosas ? um tanto bastarda, já que a sombra do metal paira sobre as cinco cabeças.
Pode ter sido a sombra do metal que os fez juntar Lewis Carroll, Irmãos Grimm e noise de sangrar os ouvidos em um único ambiente. Ou a sandice saudável que dá origem a obras de valor inestimável. O TLC toca como quem compõe, ensaia e vive dentro do guarda-roupas de ?O Leão, a Feiticeira e o Guarda-Roupa?, de CS Lewis, nas Crônicas de Nárnia. Deve ser dali que saíram as ideias para Doppeldanger. Ou do outro lado do espelho, ou do buraco do coelho. Ou das cabeças em sincronia, saídas da mente algo perturbada de Carroll ? se você achar por aí uma outra banda com uma dupla de guitarras chamada Tweedledum e Tweedledee, uma baixista que atende por Red Queen, com Jabberwock na bateria e Humpty Dumpty fazendo guitarra e voz ao mesmo tempo, pegue ela pra você.
15 musicas. E eu tive de ouvir o disco umas três vezes pra aguentar o tranco. Essas linhas só saíram depois de trincar os tímpanos dentro dos fones de ouvido com as pedradas disparadas por Doppeldanger ? ?Playin me heartstrings?, ?First Kid on Mars?, ?Sightseeing in full darkness?? ?Laura?s Coming? (do ep EPhemeris, Sinewave, de 2010) e ?Where is When? (do álbum Some Kind of Pareidolia, Sinewave, de 2011) vieram ao vivo, como nos até agora dois raríssimos shows, vistos por privilegiados. ?What goes on in closetland? é uma opereta feita de trechos de músicas da banda e fragmentos de diálogos dos músicos. Um gravador dentro do guarda-roupa. Deram ainda um nó em ?Everything Counts?, do Depeche Mode, com a voz de Red Queen e cem vezes mais da potência da original. E rebentam guitarras, amplificadores e órgãos internos com uma versão de algumas toneladas de ?Lucid Fairytale?, do Napalm Death (a sombra do metal).
Quando algum paspalho anunciar histérico que o rock está morto, faça-o ouvir Doppeldanger. Três guitarras e um baixo brandidos como tacos de baseball, em meio a eletricidade suficiente para alimentar um quarteirão, devem convencê-lo de que há muita lenha pra queimar. Três EPs, um álbum e um disco de sobras em dois anos não é coisa para principiantes ? o TLC ainda tem mais a produzir. E, cacete, leftovers com o som e a fúria de Doppeldanger separam os homens dos meninos.
