  1. Man, I don't know - that absolutely sucks your accounts are getting dinged but I find it hard to call it crummy, or even wrong. If posting concert videos is completely legal and not going against any copyright policy for the venue, musician, set designer, anything, then I'd have to blame YouTube here for allowing that flagging to be allowed. But I always thought concert videos, while often ignored, are absolutely subject to being removed. These guys aren't very big, currently on a tour and trying to sell tickets. I guess you could argue that the videos will encourage others to go to a show but I can see why the artist wouldn't agree.

  3. I, for one, have a Crow AND an unpaid order via Amazon for it. So if it ships, I'll hit this here page with it.

  5. that would be a first, as amazon doesn't charge until it ships. i also have an order in for it and have definitely not paid, so i am operating under the notion it's, ya know, not paid.

  6. you really bothered by your money not being held up since they don't charge unless it ships? seems odd, but do you.

  9. Limited Heavyweight 'Sea Blue' Edition - Double vinyl - Gatefold is here: http://heavenlyemporium.com/buy/somebodys-knocking-2/ Awesome Video for the Single, Stitch It Up is here: https://youtu.be/vuW0KLUYCQg Info and Track List is here: From the opening bars of Disbelief Suspension onwards, it’s clear that Somebody’s Knocking is an album made by someone deeply obsessed with how music - with all its primal, spiritual healing power - truly penetrates the soul. As a result, there’s joy in the music, as if created from a perfect set of inspirations smashed and grabbed from God’s own record shop. Some of the influences are oblique, others direct and fully respectful. From the Raw Power-esque garage metal grind of that opener to Letter Never Sent’s rocket-powered take on Love-era kaleidoscope-psych, through the pensive subterranean murk of Dark Disco Jag and on to Playing Nero’s sun-bleached riff on Joy Division’s Atmosphere, there’s the glee of infatuation running deep in the tracks. And, in some ways, that display of infatuation serves to change the very perception of Lanegan the artist - this album being less the tale of a brooding, crepuscular rock’n’roll veteran and more that of someone consumed by a lifelong love of words and sound fused together. With that perception shift in mind, one of the most remarkable moments on Somebody’s Knocking is Penthouse High - a track that positively blooms, sounding like a love letter to imperial phase New Order. For Lanegan, it signals a return to one of his formative musical loves from a time even before he joined Screaming Trees. “I’ve always been into electronic music since I was a kid,” he says. “I think the reason those elements have become more obvious in my music is that my tastes have changed as I’ve grown older. The bulk of what I listen to now is electronic. Alain Johannes and I had actually written Penthouse High for Gargoyle (the 2017 album the Guardian stated saw “Lanegan in the form of his career”) but then it didn't really fit on that record. I have been a huge fan of New Order and Depeche Mode forever and have wanted to do a song along those lines for a long time - a blatantly catchy, old-school dance-type song.” Although Somebody’s Knocking came together in an 11 day session in L.A. (Lanegan’s hometown of the last 22 years), many of the deepest musical influences on the record are European - be they the aforementioned electronic artists or newer, murkier forms provided by writing partners Martin Jenkins (who records as Pye Corner Audio) or Rob Marshall - a collaborator on Gargoyle and on his own, forthcoming debut album as Humanist. In each case, Lanegan approached working with each of the writers from the perspective of a fan. Lyrically, Somebody’s Knocking sets the listener off down multiple rabbit holes, painting deeply psychedelic pictures where someone’s “drip, drip, dripping acid out of the dropper” (Disbelief Suspension) or where “the hounds are behind me/footsteps following/you know you can't find me/I’m miles from the crime scene” on the monumentally addictive Stitch It Up. While on the whole, interpretations are left for the listener to decide on, there are aspects of the real world that can’t help but seep subconsciously into Lanegan’s songs: “It seems to me that the entire world is in a weird, precarious place right now. I try to not be someone in a constant state of worry and alarm but watching the massive divide that is taking place and the political situations, especially in the US and UK makes me think, “what the fuck are these idiots thinking?” The hatred, racism and all this other fear-driven shit, these “adults” that continually drive the machine that perpetuates this ignorance to their own ends should all be in prison cells instead of the non-violent drug “offenders” in them now. I can't specifically say how any of this effects my writing but I know that most of the things that occupy my thoughts have a way of coming back out in a song.” At the end of the day though, Somebody’s Knocking doesn’t need to be either commentary or allegory. Like Lanegan’s best work, it tells its own stories and weaves its own wonders, conjuring up feverish hallucinogenic visions to sit atop roughly hewn rock and glassy, brilliant bright electronics. And then it leaves them to penetrate their own ways right down to our deepest, darkest roots.

  10. Odd. It’s almost as if they’re trying to tell people to actually take in the moment of being at one of their shows instead of watching it through a screen.

  19. I pay for the Distill extension and it has been worth it for me. I have it running on a computer that is always up and it emails me immediately when my alerts go off. The free version is great if you are just monitoring a few pages, or if you don;t need email alerts. Sadly today I was dealing with some paperwork at the Canadian border and had to have my phone off so I just missed LiT.

  20. Use the Page Monitor or Distill extensions on Chrome. Or, if you're not on your computer all day, you can use an app like Page Monitor or Wachete which will check pages every 5-10 minutes. A web-based solution is Follow That Page.

  22. Is this a page monitoring app that refreshes every few seconds, and notifies you within seconds? I'm asking as there is a site I need to hit on Friday, and I don't want to be mashing F5, then get locked out of the site. Can you let me know what you use?

  23. Well it says "300" in the link name and most Smartpunk exclusives are limited to 300, so...I'd bet on it.

  25. If that makes you feel bad, have a gander in the Taylor Swift thread where you'll see people buying 4 versions of a 7 inch which has the same song on each side because of the different covers when most people have agreed the song in question isn't even her best. Luckily I'm in the UK so this wasn't too extravagant just been trying to hold off lately as I need to streamline my collection.

  29. All these new songs would be so good if I could just hear the damn vocals. Don't want to beat a dead horse but this is far worse than La Dispute imo - at least LD kind of has that ambient aesthetic going on. This is supposed to be a hardcore band, such a shame...

  30. Been on there since 06. Don't mind my cringey name on there. I thought it was cool back in the day Haha. Is there a way to change your name on there yet? I remember I looked a few years back but couldn't find a way https://www.last.fm/user/WarpedPunk

  31. I've dreamed for a long time of Spotify and Last.fm merging, but with better social tools. Both are lacking. Although Spotify absorbing Last.fm wouldn't solve everything, as I don't listen exclusively on Spotify. I play a lot of music in iTunes and iPhone, as well as vinyl. I use a script/extension called scRYMble that ties in to Rateyourmusic.com to scrobble things I play on vinyl after the fact or while listening. Nothing lost! Hahah

  32. Use it all the time... I kinda wish Spotify just did this tracking for us and gave the stats. I have a fairly strict rule against listening to anything I own physically, so lastfm is helpful when I'm in the record store wondering what I should look for. Yea though, seems pretty dead otherwise... https://www.last.fm/user/mmmmmya
