anyone ever heard Shattered - the singles comp that came out after the accident?
Yeah, has some great non-album tracks and a few alternate versions of songs on the album - Your Shadow rocks.

damn -- this is def in my top 10 albums of the decade
"throwaway style" just kills me every time -- how he just starts to plead "oooh baby come over"
also dope solo

Wish I'd seen this - would have voted "Rumors in town" - love the (2nd) lead / rhythm interplay and loads of hooks.

This sounded so great soundtracking the gorgeous drive down Lakeshore Drive earlier this morning. I think I could make an argument for each and every song on here. Easily one of the best ten albums of last decade.

bullseye ... sad story that they were shaken off this mortal coil ... they had more in 'em I'm sure ...

anyone who likes Guitar Romantic would be well served to check out the Cold Warps album (well technically a compilation of both of their tapes to date). I stumbled over it late last week and have spent basically every waking moment since screaming at anyone who'll listen to check it out:

too bad they couldn't fit Don't Haunt Me and Stuck On An Island on the physical release, but even without those two tracks the record's plenty solid.

This stuff ain't bad at all.

i was looking at the waveform for a couple of Exploding Hearts songs and found that seems to have been mastered with very little dynamic range. not sure why, but this surprised me.

Miss these guys. I still have the setlist I took from their second-to-last show.
― polyphonic, Friday, 30 January 2015 19:23 (nine years ago) link
this is like the best power pop album of all time right

flawless record

still fantastic, I think "shattered" is my fave tune of theirs though

top two poll winners are otm, tho i'd probably give "sleeping aides" the edge

haven't listened to this in years. absolutely rips. what a tragedy.

Yeah the longer time goes on the more miserable it all feels.

Terry s*x is recording my new bands demo and I’m very stoked
― kurt schwitterz, Thursday, 10 June 2021 16:53 (two years ago) link
Ah man. A separate coda to the band's tragic story, sadly.

oh damn, rip
guitar romantic still a perfect album

Hope Terry is OK.

ah man RIP Louie. so many Loose Diamond (and Pendletons reunions and Missing Monuments and King Louie One Man Band and and and) shows back in the oughts :-/

RIP
that poor band all they did is create one of the greatest rock n' roll albums ever and then just tragedy

Oh wow, this is so sad. RIP.
ufo and ums both otm, Guitar Romantic is indeed an absolutely perfect record.

xpost It really is horrible to contemplate, the more time goes on. Like Evan says, Terry Six must feel like the loneliest person on earth sometimes.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 February 2022 22:49 (two years ago) link
i had no idea the terry & louie album existed but i listened to a track & it sounds very exploding hearts
― ufo, Monday, 14 February 2022 23:00 (two years ago) link
I am dear old friends with two of the other Pendletons and they are very bummed abt this, RIP
