i am confused why Wilco doesn't sound like Son Volt as well.







if you do like Wilco, check out the stream of their 12Dec11 show in Chicago...it's fucking outstanding. i've got my laptop hooked to my real stereo and it sounds amazing.

don't know, what size sickle and hammer shirt do you wear?

you think i'm a communist based on what 'fact'?

no one cares about a philandering pizza king. once you step into the political ring, the mores of CONSERVATIVE AMERICA dictate otherwise. do you make money at a job? you're plundering if you do! last i checked, democrats don't vote in republican primaries...if Cain was such a great candidate, why d...

still waiting to hear how this is a FACT:

"I know some of you don't care for good musicianship"

LuthierJustin wrote:I have been told that by several people here

no, your statement was that the members of this site (the collective 'you') don't like musicianship. your post had nothing do with yourself.

that 'we don't like good musicianship'?


how is that a 'fact'?

you are in for a treat. Callahan is an amazing artist.

i was surprised to learn that not only was Faust still going, but they put out a pretty great record (Something Dirty)

Reptar is awful.

Mogwai's _Earth Division_ deserves mention.

getting some metal in tonight:

Black Cobra
Zoroaster
The Body
Morne


solid bill, top to bottom.

here's Prefixmag's top 50 (i did the writeup for the Grails and Mogwai records):

btw, this is my favorite reissue of the year:

that top 10 reissue thing is total horseshit. appallingly so.


btw, if anyone is my FB friend i just posted a Spotify list of my favorites of 2011...if you aren't my friend, i'm not sure how to post a link but i can certainly try!


here goes:

good stuff...just getting around to listen to this.

LJ, check out Marissa Nadler if you haven't already. she's a bit lighter than this, but has sung w/ Xasthur.

thanks Smitty! nice to hear that sort of thing.

steamed clams > fried clams

Oh Yeah! I saw him two years ago with The Stooges.

Alternatively Bosco Mann. Or the chick they (Dap kings) sometimes substitute with.

i love Watt, but that would not be a good fit. i think Watt would be bored stiffless.

you need to listen more closely to Kurihara.

Actually, she announced her departure from GP&N last month. She's be a great addition if we can't have Shonna back.

huh, i didn't realize she'd left GP&N.

total bummer.

i gave some $ to the paypal account, and bought a few of the LPs i didn't have from Secretly Canadian (Trials and Errors is now re-pressed).


i hope he beats it.

gotta be 'Stay Free' or 'Groovy Times'
