J. Spaceman/Sun City Girls - Mr. Lonely OST


Mostly sinister dark ambient stuff.


Goes well with the recent creepy vibe on this board, actually. :)

Well…started dark and sinister but it ended up being mostly very pretty and melancholy.

The new Weezer album is out trippin through the wires. Not a huge fan, but it's pretty damn fun stuff.

Assured-beyond-their-years San Diego quartet the Muslims will definitely get a lot of attention for their name, but we're much more interested in the band's catchy, sorta sloppy and stark post-punk-infused rock 'n' roll. They mix a kind of Strokes-y, and therefore VU, detachment and something that bumps in the night like Hell and his Voidoids (or, better yet, Hell and the Heartbreakers doing "Love Comes In Spurts"). You can also hear a bit of the Stooges – not just because the band cites 'em, along with the Replacements, as an inspiration – and early Jonathan Richman &amp; the Modern Lovers (see "Future Rock," "On My Time," etc). Whatever the mix of forerunners, the Muslims find a way to make it their own – it's kinda uncanny. We've been listening to their new 7-song 12" (and the 10-song CD) on repeat (thanks Robots for the heads up),

I've been listening to the new Old 97's album all day, and surprisingly it doesn't suck.

New Weezer single is up:

Reminds me of the Blue record. Pretty solid pop song.

quite alright, but not exactly revelatory

that drive-by truckers album really did sound a lot better remastered for vinyl, so eat it :eek:

this is some good late-night tunage … i like how M83 keeps growing, they haven't made an album yet that sounds like a previous album … really looking forward to the black cat show

Been listening to bits of the Courteeners here and there on-line. Wanted to know if anyone has more thoroughly given them a listen, and what do you think?

I've only heard a little and I can't stand them. Then again, it's just not my kind of music, so consider the source.

King Darves - The Sun Splits For… The Blind Swimmer


Sounds a little like a folkier Magnetic Fields. I like.

More new Weezer:

This might be a great record. This is one of the oddest songs I've heard in a long time.

Recording of a Gang Gang Dance show from last summer I just found on my HD.

This band should be much bigger than they are.
