I like the Terry Malts on one listen all through, not had chance to absorb it quite yet though.
Tunabunny were ridiculously good the other night, looking forward to digesting 'Minima Moralia' in full now I've finally got a copy.

not really feeling Terry Malts, too much Ramones sound and not enough Ramones hooks.
― skip, Sunday, 26 February 2012 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
I figured out Terry Malts sounds like Smoking Popes vs. Jay Reatard.
Also, I've decided that Memoryhouse is one of the lamest "cool" bands going right now.

I just noticed that the press release for the Lincoln Center thing way upthread claims that Bill Callahan has earned the nickname "the John Wayne of indie-rock." I've never heard that, and can't find any reference to it aside from press releases. I wonder if Bill Callahan is trying to claim the nickname "the John Wayne of indie-rock."

i've decided that new slumberland is just not for me. apart from the lodger I am not much for anything they have released in their new incarnation. it's all pretty decent but it doesn't seem like anything that bears repeated listening. but then i don't like anything on captured tracks either and everyone loves that stuff so maybe it has all passed me by.

for me CT has put out a lot of very very good records but nothing classic yet.
surprised you don't like gold bears and sea lions. seems like they'd be up your alley.

i thought the neverever ep was trash. cannot stand her voice anymore.
― ~=(,,_,,):3 (electricsound), Monday, 27 February 2012 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
i thought their earlier stuff was really lovely, but the hype is out of control and i would say that sub pop is not the label for them.
― ~=(,,_,,):3 (electricsound), Monday, 27 February 2012 00:23 (twelve years ago) link
I have to agree - the LP does not live up to the promise of (the first release of, smdh) The Years. Also, why keep "Heirloom" for the LP but discard "Caregiver"?
― Simon H., Monday, 27 February 2012 00:59 (twelve years ago) link
oh yeah gold bears, i liked them. and of course i am looking forward to allo darlin but they aren't really a slumberland thing. but i listened to the devon williams and big troubles and it was meh. the new princeton record is pretty nice for rich guys making posh pop, one might have minor flashbacks of the push kings which may not be a good thing for many people. i think i may only like the lodger records because they remind of sneaky feelings.

Yeah, um I kinda expect to be in the minority re: Cloud Nothings.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, February 17, 2012
I still haven't made up my mind. I like some of 'em of it, but yep it sounds so 1995 and even 1985 at times. I need to listen a bit more and decide what they do or don't add to those sounds

Pitchfork and the Washington Post love synth-pop indie entity Grimes. I have not given it a listen yet. Anyone? Or maybe they're for a different thread?

A new Keith Canisius ep just popped up, sooo good!http://keithcanisius.bandcamp.com/album/save-the-sharks-ep2
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 29 February 2012 19:09 (twelve years ago) link
can't remember if i mentioned them but i've been digging Cue Fanfare a lot lately, though their current release was from last year. similar to the likes of ashby, birdie etc but without so much of the loungey tinges that unpleasantly colour much of the marina groups that they loosely resemble
― gobbie billespie (electricsound), Thursday, 1 March 2012 06:17 (twelve years ago) link
thanks for the canisius tip, enjoying that EP.

Worth documenting perhaps, but could do without another rehash of the Tony Wilson/ Alan McGee/ Geoff Travers Stories TBH.

Thank you so much to whoever nominated this song in the 2011 tracks countdown - has turned into one of my three or four faves from the whole year:

Yeah I have the Garlands split single with someone and it's great, got it when they played London Popfest a couple of years ago

Besides being a great Godz song, they're a great Chicago band who just released their self-titled album. "Miracle" is on it, though this is technically from the single from last October.

sounds a lot like the lucksmiths obviously. new band 'last leaves' with 3 of the 4 lucksmiths and a new drummer.

do you actually like it?
― groanland (electricsound), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 00:52 (twelve years ago) link
(not a trick q)
yeah. is that the wrong answer?:) i like everything marty though. besides, it's a demo, i am sure when they finish it it will be free jazz skronk and beats.
― keythhtyek, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 01:00 (twelve years ago) link
ha no not wrong, but yeah it's probably my least favourite song of his thus far. will be v interested to see how it goes with the full band treatment. choosing to sing his own songs was an interesting idea

new single by The School not bad, a bit less of a drag than the non-single tracks on their album. but the opening track is lifting part of the melody of something else and i'm struggling to put my finger on it
