Rolling 2009 Vinyl Thead

drunqk posting last night totally forgot about other GREAT captured tracks. fresh & onlys grey-eyed girls LP way up there, better than the beets (much less impressed with their recent 12"). and i like dog poison a lot, though again, it's a small step down from their best recent work. kid romance 7" is cool. haven't liked the bitters, german measles, brilliant colors, mayfair set, gary war, dum dum girls, silk flowers, etc. haven't, at least, liked the stuff i've heard. but there's so fucking much of it! for a label that's only existed for a year, a year and a half, dude's put out an insane amount of shit. and relative to my tastes, quality control is very low. think i just don't quite get sniper's particular 80s fascinations. liked the early blank dogs stuff well enough, but quickly lost interest in keeping up with the onslaught of half-assed material.

didn't know tim cohen has a new LP out. looking fwd to that, as the two sides of tim cohen was one of my favorites of 2009. still bummed that it was received so harshly in certain circles. deserves to be heard by a lot more people.
