unfortunately, Fopp in Aberdeen is very small and gave up on vinyl some time ago, but they had it on CD

They didn't even have it available at their live show just over a week ago.

― rs, Monday, 28 June 2004 11:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i got mine at tower records. in chicago.

― tricky disco, Monday, 28 June 2004 12:49 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...

I finally got this. I don't think any other band has ever made me miss basslines less.

Also, I think all of the songs I really like happen to be the ones written with Johnny Dark.

I know I've seen some comments, but how are the Junior Boys live? It doesn't look like there's any upcoming touring, but I've been excited lately since we finally have a local venue that has been actively booking interesting shows. If there's a US tour, I would undoubtedly badger anyone I can to try to get them to visit my backward burgh.

I saw them a month ago or so and I have to say that they were incredibly boring. It may just be my town?? For some reason I purchased their album anyway, and thought the album was fantastic. It's really too bad... I'll probably give them another chance if they come near my godforsaken town again.

― defektenlieben, Friday, 16 July 2004 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

i saw them on the weekend and i concur.

― dyson (dyson), Friday, 16 July 2004 19:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Do they just sing to their tracks?

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 16 July 2004 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, one of them. The other one sort of stands around next to the Powerbooks.

― defektenlieben (defektenlieben), Friday, 16 July 2004 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

he occasionally holds onto a guitar during the performance aswell.

― dyson (dyson), Friday, 16 July 2004 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

We got this at my college radio station and it is getting a fair amount of play. I should try to get them to play here.

I'm not sure. : /

― cºzen (Cozen), Friday, 16 July 2004 21:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I have heard "Last Exit," "Bellona," and "Birthday." Of those three, I'm meh on the first two, but LOVE the third. Will I like the album?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 16 July 2004 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

it's alright if you like wimpy let's-pretend-it's-1984 electropop which sounds like clan of xymox b-sides.

― Edwin Reardon, Saturday, 17 July 2004 08:03 (twenty-one years ago)

four weeks pass...

admittedly i'm really late on this Last Exit album, but fuck i'm diggin' it hard now

― ken taylrr (ken taylrr), Sunday, 15 August 2004 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Are there supposed to be sloppy edits on "Bellona" at like 3:26 and 4:38?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

don't try and pretend that those timeodes are not 100% accurate.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Adam, help me! Do I have a bum mp3?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

That's kind of a loaded question.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

???

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, I think you have a bum MP3. Buy the record! :)

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:50 (twenty-one years ago)

WHERE?

I just sent somebody to England to pick it up for me, and he couldn't find it!

Okay, I guess I will have to "order" it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

You SENT someone to England? What are you, the wicked witch of the west??

― g--ff (gcannon), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:16 (twenty-one years ago)

mom's new album is really good i must admit.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:18 (twenty-one years ago)

OMG I'm so excited!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

(Although I'm actually not all that keen on the new MOM record.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

who wants to drive me from ann arbor to the detroit show?

― Magic City (ano ano), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I am excited too, but would it be evil of me to point out that all live reports I have read were somewhat less than enthusiastic?

I'll still be there, though.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

ugh that tour itinerary reminds me that halloween is on a sunday this year tho...LAME

xpost: well yeah, but it'll be nice to finally meet jeremy

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Sweet, I'll go see them in Milwaukee.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh no, this is the same date as the debut of my friend's play!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Knitting Factory October 7, hmmm...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

the echo is so much better than the knitting factory... which is to say people actually dance at the echo and the echo is... the night before?... after?

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 16:57 (twenty-one years ago)

The night before they're at San Francisco and the night after is San Diego, so no Echo show for them, m'friend.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

oh right... thinking of animal collective this weekend...
damn... also, huge lapse anyhow... forgot i was going to both
the cashbah and the knitting factory... though i hate the drive
down to san diego.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 17:09 (twenty-one years ago)
