Rejoice! A new Lungfish album has arrived!

I was living in Providence then! I just moved to NY in late August for school. Lame school, at that.

Yeah, you know, the guy that looks like a tramp.
Classic.
And that beard? Wow!

(CHILDISH JOY IN THE LITTLE THINGS MODE OFF)

That Ted Leo cover of the Lungfish tune just got issued on CD for the first time on the split with One AM Radio. It's really pretty. He was playing it live on some of his recent solo shows (or at least the instore I saw at Amoeba in LA)

I think my fave Lungfish song is "Abraham Lincoln" from Rainbows from Atoms.

and "abraham lincoln" is a rad song. also from rainbows from atoms: "Mother Made Me"

aiiieeeee

Side by Side Comparison: Love is Love is way more optimistic and cheery than Necrophones, but not as musically varied. (which is the real weak point, because Lungfish albums sans instrumentals have gotten increasingly poor as time goes along; need a little palate cleanser now and then.)

I wish I had grabbed these pictures when they were still up here. I have been on my seemingly annual Lungfish kick lately. One of my favorite bands ever.

they were the highlight of the flaming lips atp that i went to freshman year of college, by a long shot

Wait, was that the one at the Queen Mary in Long Beach? I saw them at that one. I can't remember if Flaming Lips played, though.

Oh yeah:

yeah that one. wow i was really into most of those bands! lou reed was pretty cool. flaming lips and the cramps put on a good show. built to spill was rad i thought. i dont remember any of the rest of it.

lungfish was like i said the most memorable by a long shot

space orgy

the singer has a new thing out, all solo banjo pieces

My main memories of that show concern how wrong it felt watching the Cramps play in a lovely green field in the sun. And how much I hated the guy from the Shins, who conducted all between-song banter in a wacky hip-hop "izzle" voice as a "tribute" to the "LBC." Prick. But there's so many bands there I would LOVE to see now that I don't think I really appreciated that much!

Oh, and, yes, Lungfish ruled. I've been lucky to see them a bunch of times - twice with Fugazi at First Avenue in Mineapolis, once at Brownies in NYC with Quix*o*Tic, a couple times in D.C...

Yeah, his solo Jaw Harp album is really great! (I think it's called Magic Alphabet - I got it on eMusic, I think...)

the zomes record is pretty good too. got to see them open for brightblack morning light. just the guitarist and two others playing cheap organs over rhythm tape loops

This is really good! Pretty raw compared to Necrophones. Anyone else digging it?

It is great, but I am a huge fan. Lungfish is all I want to hear sometimes.
