@ ianhollaway @ allana - you wouldn't believe the crowds in Toronto. Last gig I attended I had two people try to pick fights with me over the 1.5 square feet of floor space I was taking up, had to listen to a bunch of drunk jackasses talking through THE MAIN ACT, and had some idiot standing in front of me who seemed more interested in staring at me & my date than the freaking show. One time BECK actually stopped his show to beg the audience to dance, they didn't and he left early with no encore. It's like this every time here! Toront o is square
this is what I'm listening to ( has anyone else ever experienced this stuff, if you have you'll know exactly what I mean, it's really really creepy)
whoooooa i though the children mcnuggets stopped playing a few years ago??? i saw you guys play at least once, but i think multiple times in the late 90s. good to see ya on here!
have only digested the first half of songs. Mirah's bits are perfect, pretty and folky with all her weird touches per normal, but don't fall off their own horse with the weight of trying to sounding weird like her previous work, which must be the effect of collaboration. Thao's leads are not up to the level of her previous work but still are very good. Second half hasn't caught my ear yet
-Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears - Scandalous
hot. The opening tracks concentrate on funk, sounding like their first album, and are a bit stale and are blown away by the bluesy latter tracks which are just stellar
-Bill Callahan - Apocalypse
always have liked Bill. This is his first really surprising-sounding album... ever I think. Just a much more natural and easy sense of arrangement and melody that still manages his normal quota of quirky but desolate minimalist touches.
A band I've always loved, but had a hard time wading through their 40+ albums (I may be exaggerating?) in search of their best. Recently discovered "The Crushed Velvet Apocalypse" album and absolutely love it!
ICEAGE i think has some relation to SEX DROME, if you guys were into that stuff. their new 12" 'grown younger' is currently sold out everywhere because its hipster-approved
