teh Noel Gallagher/Garbage/Metric show was pretty entertaining. my girl wanted to go just to see Metric and they only played like 40 min but it was solid... i was surprised how good Garbage were; i've seen them twice on their tours supporting their first two records and they were really on. Noel was...

Haha. That's like being too nerdy for the A/V Club.

More like being too rowdy for the KKK

Too drunk for The Replacements

the only time i saw him was at a house concert, and that was easily 10 years ago. good show though w/ some poetry readings peppered in.

By way of the mysterious workings of the internet, I happened on a tweet by singer songwriter Amy Rigby. She was fairly well known at least on the East Coast in the 90's and 00's and was more or less the definition of a "critic's darling." She posted a short video of herself working behind a bar an...

excellent German psych/stoner band:

what happened to cortez's playlists?

i still see them via the app.


in honor of Rick Froberg's untimely passing:

i've got some serious nits to pick w/ your definition of sludge. It's a title not a definition. so it's not meant to be thematic? I mean, genres are always slippery holes in which to jam pigeons... but picking "Revolve" as the Melvins song for a playlist called SLUDGE? they have a million songs slo...

another incredibly strong from Steven R Smith.

killer bill tonight w/ Yob, Cave In and GOZU. it'll be good to see a bunch of familiar faces and get my ears blown off.

yeah that tour is coming here later but it's out in western mass where Wilco holds Solid Sound. two hours away = too far for an out and back

a bit of a weird but strong bill tonight with Pixies/Franz Ferdinand/Bully.

well this helps explain it

Frank Bell – vocals

i heard the most ridiculous Cure song the other day via Spotify radio... i would never have guessed it was they who were doing this song:

saw Elder's hometown PVD show last night, support by Ruby The Hatchet and Howling Giant. All the bands sounded awesome, good to see Nick and Jack tearing it up in their old stomping grounds in front of a full house, friends and family and newcomers alike. last night marks the 15th time that i've see...

really bummed that i will be out of the country when they play... was hoping to get to photograph them again (it's been a while, since 2007). they are a fantastic live band but like you said, sometimes pacing/set list choices can work against them.

sadly that's the clickbait shit that drives eyeballs and page views. my company's browser has MSN.com set as a home page by default, and the stupid headlines are so fucking annoying. "NFL world reacts to Tom Brady's sock selection" "Elon Musk was furious to find out his pantry is out of Rice Krispie...

glad you rallied Chuck. i missed their show here as i was overseas but friends who went loved it

Desertfest London was a blast.

saw two great Polish bands, Weedpecker and Spaceslug

lol repurposed post still works.

some recent spins:

Elder - Innate Passage
GBV - Sweating The Plague
Low - Secret Name
Chris Brokaw - Incredible Love
Steve Gunn + David Moore – Reflections Vol. 1: Let The Moon Be A Planet

i often go back and forth about which of the first three Chameleons records is the best. it's an impossible decision.

ha i didn't check this thread before i made mine... not a lot of overlap it looks like, maybe a dozen songs?

half a cortez of The Church (and a bonus solo Kilbey track)

at least you got "Columbus" which is almost as good.

i've seen them play 3 or 4 different records in full but would love a Heyday tour. it's certainly their finest work w/ no duds at all.
