I know this is an old, dead horse, but listening to Evil Urges is significantly worse than being diagnosed with a severely malignant cancer.

hahaha, to each their own

10/30/2008 2:22:17 PM

May have missed them, but does anyone have the 2 new Mountain Goats EPs?

10/30/2008 7:24:48 PM

you can get one of them here

idk about the other one, as far as i know one or both are tour-only, vinyl-only

10/30/2008 7:29:38 PM

You know I knew about that but somehow just completely forgot about it.

The one with Kaki King is the one I really want though

Was hoping to listen to it before the show Wednesday but I guess I'll just buy it there.

Hey, this Evangelicals album is really good.

evil urges is great

took me almost 1/2 a year to feel that way about it though

I really really love Touch Me I'm Going To Screen part 2.

Seeing them live may have helped me get into it.

10/31/2008 3:41:26 AM

is the new Ryan Adams any good?

10/31/2008 11:00:34 AM

No

10/31/2008 11:01:16 AM

^why do you say that?

I really enjoy it.


It expands on the Follow the Lights EP that he released last year. I've had it for about a week and have listened to it probably 4 times through but I haven't found any reason why I don't like it. I think the first three songs are great.

the new ryan adams album sounds like a ryan adams album.

im enjoying it.

10/31/2008 11:11:55 AM

Also, from reading his blog and some other things it appears as though he's really embraced the band aspect as they plan on only being referred to as The Cardinals instead of "Ryan Adams and.."

i'll try to link where i read that.

10/31/2008 11:18:50 AM

^^^, ^^

Admittedly, I have only listened to it a couple times, so I will be giving it more chances, but nothing really stands out. The first couple of tracks are pretty good, then it just becomes pretty bland. It really does just sound like another Ryan Adams album, which at this point may not be a good thing. While there is nothing I can really point to be as being inherently "bad" on any of the songs, they are for the most generic and forgettable (I reserve the right to retract all of this if on subsequent listens I start enjoying the album lol). He's kind of got the Ryan Adams formula now and can just crank these things out with no effort.

I felt the same way about Easy Tiger. It was pretty solid and I enjoyed listening to it, but within a few months I had put it away and don't think I've listened to it since.

I guess I'm just waiting for another Heartbreaker or Jacksonville City Nights.

Ryan Adams makes decent albums in his sleep, bad albums as a joke, and a great album every five years.

10/31/2008 3:44:08 PM

DID ANIMAL COLLECTIVE LEAK?! CAUSE COLLECTED ANIMALS IS ON LOCKDOWN!

11/4/2008 9:07:07 PM

oh SHIT

if that's true, it's a lot earlier than i expected

combined with an obama win, this could be the greatest night of the fuckin' year

11/4/2008 9:11:44 PM

I'm on the case!

11/4/2008 9:13:54 PM

Strawberry Jam leaked on July 4th so this could be just a huge coincidence

I'm not seeing anything either but it'll happen within the week.

11/4/2008 9:31:50 PM

i know this is [old] but i'm trying to find a better copy of the latest Rilo Kiley - Under the Blacklight.

most of the torrents i'm finding are dead. Does anyone have it readily available to share? I really appreciate it.

11/5/2008 10:45:35 PM

It's not worth the effort, stay far far away from Under The Blacklight.

11/6/2008 1:08:11 AM

i undeleted my copy of under the blacklight just so i could delete it again

11/6/2008 3:12:25 AM

lol

11/6/2008 8:03:04 AM

Mykonos on the Fleet Foxes' Sun Giant EP is sweeeeeet, sounds exactly like CSN to me

11/6/2008 5:20:35 PM

Been listening to Q-tip's Renaissance, John Legend's Evolver, and Raphael Saadiqu's The Way I see It, a lot recently.

Love Renaissance. I heard him play a few of these tracks (the more upbeat ones) when he opened for Common about 5 months ago and got really excited about the album. Not quite as upbeat as I thought it was, but still love it as a whole. Really like the tracks with Norah Jones and Raphael Saadiq. Overall just a great album...good beats and solid delivery and lyrics from Q-tip as usual.

Little disappointed in Evolver. I feel like Legend was perfect with the first album...balancing the hip-hop-ish tracks with the piano ballads. Then the 2nd album, although still good, was a little too heavy with the slow love songs. I don't really know how to describe this one...it's like it tries to be more hip-hop-ish like the first album with the beats...but just isn't upbeat enough. But I am disappointed in the lack of pianos and slower ballads. I hope he can find the balance he had in the first album if he decides to come out with more albums.

The Way I See It might be one of my favorite albums of the year...if not at the top. Raphael takes it back to the old school R&B days...and doesn't break character for the whole album. Great tracks with Joss Stone and Stevie Wonder...as well as a remix with Jay-z that's not too bad. I love that old Temptations-style music...and he puts a decent modern twist on it that has me listening to this album over and over again.

anyone wanna help a brotha out and re-up Cardinology?

I can't find it apart from megaupload which never works for me.

I was a little more excited about the Flaming Lips leak than Animal Collective... but then I realized it was only a soundtrack.

(although, what I've heard does sound pretty good.... they're just always hit or miss for me... and when they miss, they miss bad)

[Edited on November 10, 2008 at 11:41 PM. Reason : .]

11/11/2008 7:18:41 AM

Bweez, try searching on http://www.torrentz.com

That is where I found it a few days after its release. I think from either mininova or piratebay.




If not, i'll try to upload it tonight when i get home from work and send you a link.

11/11/2008 8:02:27 AM

Butch Walker's new album came out today.
"Sycamore Meadows"
I have it....I hope its as good as any of his last stuff

11/11/2008 9:11:38 AM

Copeland's album has continued to grow on me a ton, went from being on the edge of my top of 2008 list to easily one of my favorites of the year. The guest female vocals are so perfectly placed and haunting.

[Edited on November 11, 2008 at 10:12 AM. Reason : ]

11/11/2008 10:03:24 AM

I've never heard of Copeland, but I listened to the album just because you keep slurping it. It was pretty boring.

11/11/2008 11:31:11 AM

Yea, I mean its a really down tempo album. Even as a big fan of their earlier stuff (not as much their last record an EP before this) I was pretty bored with this the first couple listens as I was disappointed with the mainly piano driven songs. But it has grown on me a lot - but that could be because I have been so stressed out the past few weeks so it has been a great album to put on at work to de-stress too

But I can definitely see people thinking its boring. I mean I know that I think The National is boring and a lot of friends of mine and a lot of people on here absolutely loved their last 2 albums.

yeah, I can't use torrents. My school is a nazi regarding that and if they see that I'm using them they get all pissy. Haven't figured out how to get around it as of yet.

11/11/2008 12:42:13 PM

i was turned onto ShareMiner through TWW and it hasnt failed me even on relatively small stuff for the most part.

11/11/2008 12:45:10 PM

i may need Under the Blacklight as a return favor

11/11/2008 1:24:15 PM

Ryan Adams sounds way too much like Bono on "Cardinology"

11/11/2008 1:59:14 PM

^oh damn, I fucking hate U2

11/11/2008 8:41:03 PM

i think the joshua tree album is outstanding.

11/11/2008 11:38:42 PM
