Unfortunately I googled the lyrics to "Beth/Rest."

bought this on friday and listened to it out at the coast over the weekend. pretty and hypnotic, but it never quite reaches any destination for me. reminds me a bit of a triple-tracked peter gabriel

The opener blew me away straight off. The rest of the album sounded like shit.Played it again.Then again.Then got it.
Fucking beauty. Seriously great.

Halocene is almost as good as Flipper's "The Way of the World"

There's a huge picture of this guy on a Bushmills billboard outside of my house, and it creeps me out a lot. I like the guy and everything, but it's pretty sleazy.

I tried to Google image search it, but I couldn't find it. Here's another one, though:
At least in the one in my neighborhood, he's wearing a Jagjaguar shirt and giving those guys some exposure.

He probably made a decent chunk of change off that Kanye album, no?

I like this second record just fine, but dude sucked the life out of the new Kathleen Edwards.

you already heard new kathleen edwards?? i thought it doesn't come out till jan?

Real ugly ad. Lazy copyrwiting and bad art direction overall. It doesn't seem like it took them longer than an hour to arrange it.

Also you kind of suck at google she got shakes. If you type 'bon iver bushmills' the first images are the ones you mention:

The founders of Bushmills developed a recipe that lasts. We hope to do the same with our music.

xpost I don't know when the Edwards comes out, exactly, but I've heard it and have it. It represents a pretty big change, I think, maybe not for the better but I bet better for her.

Ew, that ad. Just hangin' with my bros, makin' some music, drinkin' some Bushmills.
I also like the guy a lot though. Not quite my favourite album of the year but it's the one I play when I can't think of what to put on.

ok waht. I had no idea he was involved -- or why. He's got more to learn from her.

They are a couple now (she divorced her longtime ... guitarist?). He produces, collaborates and plays a bunch of stuff. And Norah Jones is on the record, too.

The songwriting and melodies are fine. Some of the production choices in regards to mixing levels for certain tracks, what sounds to use and arrangement, seem really random and jarring to me.

Of course aero. I have an aesthetic gripe about that particular ad not an ethical one with Justin taking the money. There are good ads and bad ads.

Sure, fine, fair enough, but big money booze strikes me as pretty gnarly to get in bed with. Bushmills' parent company does some pretty heinous lobbying. Not everybody's gotta be Fugazi, but sheesh.
Besides - he seems to be doing just fine selling records (and selling out multi-night stands at very big venues) all over the place.

(I know, it's all pretty tiresome to get into. This one just bummed me out a little bit, between the gross press release speak, the bro-out vibe, and the fact that admittedly this time it's a dude I kind of like).

didn't he give "those guys" some exposure when he released his very successful albums on jagjaguwar?

Yeah, I suppose so. I guess I thought it was a cool gesture, since I've always thought of it as a little American label, and seeing it on a huge billboard by the A4 motorway is pretty insane. (He's on a different label here in the UK, btw).Wait, why did you put "those guys" in quotes?
― She Got the Shakes, Friday, 28 October 2011 23:53 (1 year ago) Permalink
i guess it just read weird, like that's his label, your post made it seemed like he was coming down off the mountain to give some little label props...
i guess it's probably pretty small, but i guess these days it doesn't much matter.
anyway i didn't mean to phrase it unduly snarky, but i guess i think of him as the big jagjaguwar artist (rip the wilderness)

Ah, I see - I didn't mean it that way. I suppose I admire 'label pride,' though I have no idea what that is based on and can come up with no examples outside of the Nick Lowe tune! Maybe Tad wearing the Sub Pop "Loser" tee? (Reaching...)He's on 4AD here.

Nothing like religion to ruin a perfectly good song; although it would've been nice to see a pit form when they kicked it into "Oh, Night Divine".
