Lewis & Clarke - Blasts of Holy Birth

Rock Crown by Seven Mary Three is much better than American Standard. (crickets)

Maybe it's on special 3000g vinyl?

Love this show, but one thing I don't get - at the end if ep 3 when the boys were creeping up on what I thought was the house of LeDeux, then we see gas mask man - what happened next? We cut from that to the beginning of ep 4 in the jail. Didn't they roll up on the house and look around and if so didn't they see gas mask man?

I have a fair number of 50s folk records. I think this is the oldest (RIP):

Preston Lovinggood - Sun Songs

I love the smell of bump in the morning.

Doin' the bumpty dance.

Mish-mash of things here I've been looking for and can't seem to get (or get for a decent price). I'd love to trade my black copy of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out for one or more of these, but willing to buy things outright as well. You can look at my DeadFormat list for other trades, but most of what I have I have because I like it. Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes Astra - Black Chord (splatter) Birth Control - Plastic People Califone - Quicksand/Cradlesnakes Juliana Hatfield Three - Become What You Are The Hold Steady - Separation Sunday Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows Mark Lanegan - I'll Take Care of You Le Orme - Felona e Sorona Premiata Forneira Marconi - Storia di un Minuto R.E.M. - Out of Time R.E.M. - Monster The Streets - Original Pirate Material T2 - It'll All Work Out in Boomland The Wrens - The Meadowlands

Oh shit. I grew up in Davenport, though I don't remember going to Peabody's (is that where Theo's used to be? - this was probably after my time). That would have been a hell of a show.

I'm gonna get killed for this but: Modest Mouse People I love love them. I've listened to the albums. I've seen them live. I. Don't. Get. It. Hate the lead singer's voice and don't find them sonically interesting in the least. Also, while I don't hate them, I consider the National incredibly boring and wish all their songs were like Abel.

I don't really have an explanation, but my impression is that a lot of people who don't like the kind of genre Brand New generally gets thrown into (I'll avoid the "e" word, as well as others), seem to like Brand New and discovered them a little late, which maybe accounts for their growing popularity. I know Deja was one of the first records I bought when I wanted to check out the younger punk/emo/whatever crop of bands, and Deja is a pretty easy record to get into from that standpoint insofar as not every song is loud and screamy, so you could play a fan of a lot of different music something off of it and have them, if not like it, at least find it listenable. I also think they have more respect in the indie crowd than other similarly situated bands (Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, etc.). For instance, when Pitchfork did their "People's List" of the top albums from 1996 to 2011, Devil and God had the 4th most "write in" votes (votes for albums that Pitchfork had not reviewed). They've also done a good job of (1) aligning themselves with and touring with really good younger bands that maybe help them continue to get new fans (Manchester Orchestra and Kevin Devine come to mind), and (2) name-check/cover/give props to bands with decent followings that might check them out by association (Jesse covering Neutral Milk Hotel, Archers of Loaf, Modest Mouse). Plus they're really good live.

Yeah online was a disaster. Just checked StubHub and someone has 145 tickets available at $500.00 per. How is that possibly legal?

Opportunity for tickets finally showed up for St. Louis, but apparently sold out. FML. If someone has one extra ticket for the Pageant show, I would be eternally grateful (and financially generous).

Trying for tix via ticketmaster for STL, but not showing up. Anyone else?

Foxing - The Albatross (brown/green) The Besnard Lakes - Albatross 12" single (just a coincidence . . . ) Wolf People - Fain

She had some as the rewards for the kickstarter of one of her recent albums, but I heard about it too late to take advantage.

It's been awhile and I'm bored bump.

I was bracing myself for the price reading the description, but it isn't terrible all things consdiered. I don't think I can pull the trigger, but I can't completely rule it out.

Just noticed this today and really excited, as this was one of the first folky releases I found myself and loved. I really hope they follow this up with more Buckner stuff (Devotion + Doubt? Maybe The Hill on one-sided vinyl?). http://www.mergerecords.com/bloomed-reissue

Going tonight. Gonna try to snag a poster, if they're nice.

Missed tix to the Pageant show, apparently. Sad Face.

I have the black original I would be willing to part with.

It wasn't meant to be a hate thread. I don't get the Clash or MBV, but I certainly don't hate them. I just feel like I SHOULD like them, based on the other stuff I like.

I was stuck in the Atlanta airport for 24 hours during the recent snowpocalypse. Maybe if I'd had my copy of Sunbather I would finally get it too. Not surprised by the NMH mentions, but it may be my favorite album.
