What Are You Listening To?

I was thinking "this reminds me of Jesu but with way less synth or low end and way more beautiful melodies" while listening to it. Any idea about other Alcest releases?

I think that's the only Alcest album proper, though who knows what they've got hidden in Franceland.

Another groovy band that has the whole ethereal-female-voices and walls of sound (though less dense than Alcest) is:

I'm looking forward to this. And it's on a weekend! Weeknight velvet shows are hard for me to go to since most of them end after 1.

one of the best audiobooks i've ever heard

Dude, I agree. Pleased to Meet Me then Tim then Let it Be is my ranking of the "great" Replacements albums. I freakin' love Pleased to Meet Me.

Gotta get this. I always flip through this book at the bookstore, but never could commit. Have never listened to an audio book before, but this seems like a good place to start.

The new Drive By Truckers…well the first two minutes of each song…

i used to listen to audio books on long road trips when i was a kid. mom would borrow them from the library the day before we took off. great way to keep kids entertained/quiet.

Especially when it's about zombies!

thanks for this … whole album seems really family oriented

early favorite: "the righteous path", sounds like a dead ringer for a neil young track

You're welcome.

As usual, I prefer the Cooley songs. Two of Shonna's songs are decent, in a less talented aping Neko light. Patterson's songs really aren't doing it so much for me on first listen, but I'm sure some of them will be growers.

Cooley just had his third kid, and Patterson has one or two (his daughter shares the same name as my grandmother and daughter), so family oriented could be expected…

Is that a controversial opinion to hold?

I appreciate that he takes the time to clue everybody in regarding the songs origins:

well, the eek was a touch of sarcasm, but i think "let it be" and "tim" are considered by the cognoscenti to be the superior albums … damn the man, i'll take "pleased to meet me" over both
