    I hate Sigur Ros!

    Tho, with the invention of p2p, loads of money doesn't have to dropped on what might ultimately be 'banal' recordings. Loads of time perhaps, downloading from p2p, but not loads of money. Personally I haven't bought a release in about 2-3 years w/o thoroughly trying-before-buying. Though I...

    I hate Sigur Ros!

    I've never even heard Sigur Ros. They're filed next to a small group of bands that I remain totally indifferent to ever hearing, for whatever reason. & $75 is steep! I've seen Slowdive dragged through the mud a few times now on this board...I wonder why? -- 'cause imo Souvlaki and Pygmalion...

    A Certain Ratio - Flight

    >This< version of "Flight" (it appears on the soul jazz collection ACR Early) -- which album was it originally on? It's not either version on The Graveyard and the Ballroom. Was it on The Double 12? The Flight single? Danke.

    Devendra Banhart - Cripple Crow

    Sounds decent, but I was hoping he'd move in a different direction than this. It sounds as if the tunes have been stripped of the vocal/lyrical curiosities that made the first few albums such a joy (esp. Oh Me Oh My...) Also it seems the more accompaniment he builds around his tunes, the emptier...

    Will youth be fooled again?

    I think the emphasis there was on 'new', the non-availability of new technology. synthesizers (for example), haven't changed that much over the years aside from the fact that instead of needing a room full of 'em you now can have just one that can do it all(or none if you use software...

    Ariel Pink

    Maybe Hourse Arrest isn't the best place to start. The Doldrums is excellent, and perhaps even better is Worn Copy. I like those two albums straight through but found House Arrest to be a bit hit-or-miss. <i>Worn Copy</i> is actually available here: http://www.rhystop.com/news.html

    the ipod machine

    Slick aesthetics & knowing their demographic is my guess. Plus I'm guessing it's a bit expensive to make a 40gb drive that small, not to mention able to run off batteries. Look into a Creative, they're comparable and significantly cheaper.

    what did you listen to today?

    I was listening to this the other day and kept thinking 'where do I know this bassline from??!'. Finally realized it was the same b-line from a basic channel track, aptly named 'e2-e4 basic reshape'. I listened to Manuel Gottsching today as well, Inventions for Electric Guitar. Also: Marissa...
