how do you like "loss"?

I hated it the first couple of listens, but now its become one of my favourite albums.... I think its better than the just released followup "US"
Title: Re: Post Your Recent CD Purchases
Post by: allmy$to930 on May 21, 2003, 12:49:00 pm: Regarding Mull Historical Society: Loss

I must admit I haven't heard it yet...it is in the mail. Heard a couple of live songs on KEXP (check live archive) and was really impressed. I also have a soft spot for Scottish bands.
Title: Re: Post Your Recent CD Purchases
Post by: markie on May 21, 2003, 12:55:00 pm: But the songs on KEXP were most likely off of his current album "US". They have US in DCCD if you cant stand the wait.

If you like that you will probably like ballboy and delgados and possibly the postal service?

If you dont like loss at the start, persist with it, its worthwhile.
Title: Re: Post Your Recent CD Purchases
Post by: allmy$to930 on May 21, 2003, 12:59:00 pm: I saw that the tracks were from US but after reading reviews it sounded like Loss, as you have suggested, is a better album.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Delgados, Mull, Ballboy, Postal Service

One of those things doesnt come from the same place as the others. Was just a joke Mr. Science.

Jadetree have you thought that you might be German?

dont you think that if someone liked loss they might also like postal service? They are not even that similar, just quirky and semi electronic and similarly paced. But I bet if you liked one there is a very good chance you would like the other.....

Post by: Relaxer on May 21, 2003, 02:45:00 pm: In the last week:

The Hidden Cameras "Smell Of Our Own" -- a stew of Belle and Sebastian, Polyphonic Spree and Pansy Division. Great X-rated pop.

Jet "Dirty Sweet EP" -- Feh... This might have been exciting a couple years ago, but nowadays I need more than just the same loud'n'dirty garage riffs. I often end up liking this kind of stuff, so we'll see.

Motorhead "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith" -- Had to buy after the show. Great niche disc.

New Pornographers "Electric Version" -- Loved the first one. This one seems a little sterile and clinical. Very well-written and played, but... lacks an emotional level.

Blur "Think Tank" -- I'm going to love this eventually, but it's taking repeated listenings. It's usually a good sign when I don't get something at first but am compelled to keep trying.

It's brilliant Jag. I don't have the original single by Longview so it's hard to compare. It sounds like Elbow with a different singer. As far as I can tell it only came out as a one sided 10" single and extremely limited. I got mine from Piccadilly Records before they sold out.

I guess you saw where the new Elbow single (Ribcage) is available online this week. Now the hunt is on for a promo cd single of it! :)

Yes, I have Ribcage but only the MP3, like everyone else. It's good but I'm sure it won't be the stunner. Just hope that the album lives up to expectations, which I'm sure it will. Did the very, very nice bald guy with the earring wait on you?

BTW, I might be getting a complimentary Dove's promo for the DVD of Space Face from the Eden Project. Not positive about that yet but, believe it or not, I would be getting it from Rod Serling. Yes, you know whom I mean. !!!!! :D :D

Post by: Yank on May 31, 2003, 10:52:00 am: Hey Mankie, a couple weeks ago we were talking about The Undertones. Are you familiar with another band from Derry called The Moondogs? They were around in the same time period as The Undertones and had the punk/pop sound. I see that there's a Peel Sessions CD out with them now and was wondering if it's worth buying. Not that your opinion really matters to me.... ;)

It's a cryin' shame no good music has come out in the past 20 years. Stop brainwashing that poor child, Mankie.

I bought the Ex Models disc after I saw them (can't remember who they were opening for) and it's jarring, a-rhythmic, deliberately irritating, annoying, totally contradictory and... pretty damn interesting. I don't like it, but I keep playing it. They almost seem to have that Flipper mentality of, We've suffered for our art and now it's your turn.

Post by: ggw on June 09, 2003, 02:06:00 pm: D4 - 6Twenty -- Loud and rocking. Totally derivative and unoriginal. All the songs start to sound the same about halfway through the album. Nonetheless, it's loud and rocking and fun and worth the $1.99 I paid for it.

The Kicks - S/T -- On the first full listen I'm really digging it. Nothing revelatory, but its big and poppy, it sounds like a combination of Superdrag and Pond.

Yes it is very good. There are even a couple tracks that sound almost Smiths like to me, musically, not lyrically. But I am sure people would disagree with me.
Title: Re: Post Your Recent CD Purchases
Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on June 11, 2003, 01:22:00 pm: Funny you should say that. Are you aware of Joe's book coming out in October?

Book update:
Meat is Murder by Joe Pernice will be out in October. Itâ??s part of Thirty Three and a Third, a new series of short books about critically acclaimed and much-loved albums of the past 40 years. By turns obsessive, passionate, creative, and informed, the books in this series demonstrate many different ways of writing about music, and all of the authors - musicians, scholars, broadcasters, and writers - are huge fans of the album they have chosen.

Joeâ??s words:
About a year ago I received a suspicious email from a guy at Continuum Books in New York City. He said they were putting together a series of short books about music. Each book would be about a single album, and would I be interested in writing one? I don't know if he'd read any of my press, and thus had some inside information or not, but he suggested an album by the Smiths. He suggested The Queen is Dead, but my scheming little mind had Meat is Murder in the cross hairs.
Well, I was certainly intrigued. Even a little flattered. But to be honest, I had suffered through my share of paper writing in graduate school and had spent my last drop of critical juice back in 1997. By the time I finished my graduate degree, I was so burned-out on paper writing that I actually convinced an unsuspecting professor who was a distant fan of my first two records to let me write a ten page paper (my last) on post modernism IN MY OWN MUSIC! Give me a break. I don't know who deserves the bigger throttling for that one. Probably me. No wonder the American educational system is a wreck. I still have not the slightest clue as to what post modernism is.

So a critical book on Meat is Murder was completely out. But the album was so monumental in my life, I had to pay tribute to it. I started thinking about writing a piece of fiction (to protect the innocent and guilty, plus it would be more fun) that would show just how important that record was to a nameless, scrawny, horny, American kid suffering through Catholic school in the deep South Shore of Boston. I ran the idea by my soon-to-be editor, and he went for it.

A week after the Pernice Brothers finished mixing our latest album Yours, Mine and Ours, I cleaned out a five-foot by four-foot patch of floor in a storage closet, wrestled my desk and computer in past years worth of musical equipment that is literally touching the ceiling around me, and set to it. It should be finished by the end of April. Actually, it had better be done by the end of April or I'm in breech, which is all I need. I'm just waiting for my editor to say, "You know Joe, I don't hear a hit."

Post by: jadetree on June 11, 2003, 05:04:00 pm: I like the Starlight Mints cd a lot, one of my favorite recent ones. The Tyde one is ok. I was disappointed with the new Eels and the New Pornographers for the same reason, decent but don't really go anywhere. Only listened to Grandaddy once so far, liked it. New Stratford 4 is growing on me.

As far as the albums go I much prefer Once, its starting and ending songs, all my bastard children and silvers Okay Michelle being great tracks. the former sounding rather a lot like BJM....

Dean W. and Britta P. "L'Avventura"
Radiohead "Hail to the Thief"

I have to say, for a duet album with 6 covers, the D&B record is far better than I imagined.

Earlimart and good too. Not great but a very pleasant change now and then. BTW, they are coming back to The Ottobar. Don't remember the date but it's listed on my calandar if you want to check it.

CD Warehouse had that Earlimart EP with the Elefant and Moving Units EP in a package for $9. Its not what I thought it would be but I like it. The Elefant cd is good as well.

Yes, I did. The music carried over very well. In fact, they are a fun band to see live. Especially the one curly headed guitar player who is a wild man. Not up to the showmanship of The Hives or TSOOL's but good as a support act.

Of course, Kurosawa and I had the extra comedy attraction of the biggest nut in the house. Man, he was funny as shit. This guy standing right behind us kept yelling at the top of his lungs to Kurosawa and I to "Go ahead girls! Show him some leg! Get all riled up!! Yeah!" (Not that he needed it.) Oddly, this guy didn't pass over the edge into obnoxiousness as some of those type do.

If you ever get a chance to see them live, do so. You will enjoy them.

This compilation is excellent. Has anyone purchased the Rogers Sisters album? Is it as good as the song on this compilation (called Zero Point)?
I also just bought the Saddle Creek 50 compilation (alert: on sale at Olssons). Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.
Other purchases:
Stellastarr* -Somewhere Across Forever EP (they rock)
Soledad Brothers live LP (very good!)
!!! - new EP (I'm not that impressed, actually)
Radiohead (of course)
