Was also really tempted to tell the ppl behind the counter that they were going to sell tons of these.
I'm sure they would never have thought it without your tip!

Dudes, I JAMMMMMMED this in the car on a 5 hour road trip at pretty intense levels and it was really insane sounding. By far the best LCDSS LP to date.

I like the self-referentiality in "Home" when he sings "Yeah, do it right/ And head again into space!" A nice nod to "All My Friends," another type of home.

KSH is my new favourite music critic. That picture of the two middle managers underneath all those outdoor types filled my heart with a warmth that would otherwise have taken heroin.
What is so fearsome about this kid's shitting that he needs to be strapped to the khazi?

Doesn't surprise me. I heard the new Band of Horses single on the local AAA station the other day.

i heard "Laredo" on the radio too

Bridwell wasn't even playing an instrument in the last video i saw of 'em -- maybe it was Letterman
they should seriously just call up Jim James and have him sing over the phone and the session dudes can play whatever and then we can all go home

never really listened to anything very much beyond "The Funeral" or whatever, but man i played the shit out of that song. one of those permanently tied to a time in my life kind of deals. so, thanks to BB for that one

"st. augustine" was my personal favorite, but yeah that's pretty close to a classic album

actually i like this disc a lot. do people here find the slow build on the first track overlong? i think it works very well, because it lulls you to sleep and then pops.
― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 25 May 2010 03:09 (fourteen years ago) link
sorry -- it doesn't lull me to sleep. just a figure of speech. it leads me to believe there's no big payoff coming, and then delivers a big payoff.
― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 25 May 2010 03:10 (fourteen years ago) link
First track is the worst, actually. Listening to my CD copy in the car, I thought, "Oh, I don't remember this going on so uninterestingly."

the build-and-pop in the first song is the best thing on the record, if the end of the track didn't go into the next one I would listen to it over and over

I disagree with this so much
the brittle, wearied lyrics with all of the little micro flourishes that pop in and out bookended by those ahs... it just fantastic (then again, I also love lyrical repetition)
― Marni and Louboutin: coming to Tuesdays this fall on FOX (HI DERE), Tuesday, 25 May 2010 15:30 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't mind repetition, period, but after the first four or five minutes, when it restarts, I just tune out.
― Filmmaker, Author, Radio Host Stephen Baldwin (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 25 May 2010 15:32 (fourteen years ago) link
the song is an exercise in groove dissection and, as someone who likes to view music as aural Tinkertoys, it's really beautiful

Band of Horses and LCD Soundsystem also arrive high -- entering at Nos. 7 and 10, respectively, with their latest efforts. Band of Horses' Infinite Arms starts with 45,000 while LCD's This Is Happening opens with 31,000. They are the highest charting albums -- and best sales weeks -- for both acts.

God I didn't realize people like Band of Horses so fucking much. I thought we already had one My Morning Jacket who are *much* better, if you're into that sort of thing?

i don't think i knew how popular they were, either. but . . .
After the Stones, the next highest entry is the Black Keys with "Brothers" starting at No. 3 with 73,000.
