Me too.

Is that Destroy Angels album any good? I assumed it was Trent doing his trippy ambient (boring) stuff.

[killsaly]

Not trippy or ambient at all (for the most part).  Their first EP was free and can be found online.

Here is their second:

(oops spoke too soon, never heard this before, and it has some pretty ambient/trippy parts)

And the LP comes out tomorrow:

To me it is a natural nine inch nails continuation.  You can definitely feel the "Trentness" of it, kind of like the stuff he did with Saul Williams.  I personally think it is great.

Oh cool, thanks

I do not understand Animal Collective.  Liked their second album okay, but overall, I find them incredibly annoying.

I love MPP. I can't explain what I like about them. I just do. I used to not get it. Then one day, I totally did.

I am hoping this doesnt mean the Comet show on March 30 is cancelled...

the Lost Rivers (on facebook)
Hello people,

there haven't been many news from us in the last couple of months ? let me tell you why:

In 2012 many things didn't work out the way we wished them to. We had some good times and a lot of good things happened, but there were also a lot of bad things happening and some people threatened to tear apart this whole project. We felt that all this negativity started to cover all the positive things we have experienced.

We fought hard to get everything back on track and to find a way to deal with the things that had happened. The result was that I hardly had any time to do what I love the most ? writing amazing rock'n'roll music. I now want to fully focus on this aspect.

So, I will take some time off from the "managerial duties" and from playing live shows. Meanwhile I am in the process of writing a new album.

2013 will see the reformation of the Lost Rivers ? we will come back stronger, louder, crazier and better than any band you have ever heard before.

P.S.: You can still see us play live on March 22 when we are destroying the Windmill in Brixton, London.

Stay tuned.

We love you guys!

cheers,
phil

[i am gay and i like cats]

you guys do realize that the seats at national suck horrible.  they kill your ass and legs and are so fucking tight close together.  ive been there plenty of times and i got sick of the seats and started going to warner instead.  unless the new people have changed out the seats . . . beware, but how appropriate for him, seeing how he's quite the pain in the ass.

awesome, finally, yesss . . . after swtiching over to google chrome because of a company switch i have spell checker on my club forum posts!!  beware.

From the Just Announced thread:
(Bold is mine.)

no Tommy Ramone at Jammin Java....


Sylvain Sylvain will be there...

Some of the saddest downfalls in music I've yet to see was when that guy from Abba had to resort to playing in his own cover band and now Sylvain Sylvain spends his Fridays nights at home (or somewhere undefined) posting on Facebook his "Rampage Of Songs". One night I noticed he was just posting away all kinds of YouTube links. Good ones (though I never bothered to click any of them) but loads of them, one after another. Didn't think much of it at all until he made some post thanking everyone for listening and to come back again next Friday for his "Rampage of Songs". Then another day I noticed him advertising this thing and realized that he was dead serious. In his mind, this is a standing gig for him. I actually felt embarrassed for the guy. Really pathetic.
