recordbreaking transfer to Lucknow FC (seandalai), Tuesday, 3 July 2012 13:21 (thirteen years ago)

Walter Galt, Tuesday, 3 July 2012 13:52 (thirteen years ago)

I like this one:

some dude nights (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 6 July 2012 19:25 (thirteen years ago)

ffs. i liked a couple of their songs early on. their last (debut) LP wasn't great, but at least it wasn't a giant dick in the world's eye.

contenderizer, Friday, 6 July 2012 19:32 (thirteen years ago)

(wrestling with the fact that one of those early singles i liked was called "blind muslim girl")

contenderizer, Friday, 6 July 2012 19:34 (thirteen years ago)

I feel like it's better in person than on screen. It looks like a Klaus Schulze record, it's nice.

How has something never been called "Son of a Bitches Brew" before?!

Looks like a potato wearing a cape and a hat. Thanks Kompakt!

mod night at the oasis (NickB), Tuesday, 24 July 2012 09:53 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah, given how good the first Taragana Ep looked, that really sucks.
