also: snowflakes are danicng - an electronic record by Tomica

Square Shells is so good. I rate Halo higher but Ocean City is a great track.

liking this record a lot. along with the two early release tracks (Pretty Day and Never Run Away) I'm most into Too Hard and Girl Called Alex. (which is my daughter's name so I was glad nothing bad happened to Alex in the song)

I promise not to smoke too much, I promise not to party ... too hard.

Some of the tracks seemed a bit bland on first listen honestly- it is a grower, right? Don't think I've had a close enough listen either. I had been excited about it especially due to that first track.

it is a grower if there ever was one, though i have to say i liked the record from the start. now i like it even more.

about Alex= she will be married happily to Marc, so you're safe, dmr.

i think Alex, and Was All Talk are the best songs here, though really, it's all kinda great.

definitely a grower.. after the first couple of listens i was kinda bummed that i didn't like the record that much and then after a few more listens i started noticing more and more bits and pieces of songs that i REALLY liked until i basically decided that i loved the album

otm.
and also, after you decipher the lyrics, you realize it is ,after all, a very personal and emotional record, as much as Halo was.
nice pfrk review, too.

What 80s hit does "Was all talk" keep reminding me of?

walkin on a pretty daze, more like sleeping to some boring songs

sick burn from ienjoyhotdogs

at least there will always be hot dogs.

ienjoyhotdogs previous reconstituted pig anus to great music

prefers, dammit

i'm still a bit hopped up from the glenda jackson speech

nice long leadoff song dere

I've heard so much good about this record, particularly all the drumwork from Stella Mozgawa. The only song I've heard is the title track though. It hasn't really caught my ear, even though I've put it on three or four times.

I know some of these songs were supposed to be long but the version I have has some even longer versions of these songs. Has anyone else heard this and can compare the two?

Wakin On A Pretty Day 15:53
KV Crimes 6:35
Was All Talk 12:51
Girl Called Alex 10:34
Never Run Away 5:43
Pure Pain 8:36
Too Hard 13:28
Shame Chamber 7:59
Snowflakes Are Dancing 5:39
Air Bud 10:51
Goldtone 17:24

whoa, what?
What version do you have? does his voice and guitar seem really slowed down and lower than isaac hayes?

only listened to this once while making dinner last night, but it sounded great...were my ears deceiving me or was one tune a heavy "boys of summer" homage?

i'm guessing you have the glitchy 192kbps promo leak from matador which some have speculated is a 320 rip that somehow reports that it is 192. mp3 players base their length estimate on filesize so that would probably account for the longer reported track lengths

You are correct. I listened to the opening track from the start and it just cuts off at its intended length. Kind of weird, thanks.

dang, i was kinda hoping there was a chopped and screwed version floating around out there

kurt takes-a-while

Yeah, I was definitely hoping it was some kind of secret "Hot Buttered Vile" version or something.

never thought of it that way but i totally get what you mean. i really like that one.

Shame chamber is great but I always expect J Mascis to start singing when it comes on

great album - after 'Halo', I thought this was the kind of artist from whom one album was enough but I've been proved wrong. Great sunny highway driving music too. Surprised no one has mentionned 'Stoned & Dethroned' as a reference.

crestfallen aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnd

damn, this is good:

"Wakin on a Pretty Day" sound a lot like "Major Leagues"

I'd never previously listened to Kurt Vile, but Wakin' on a Pretty Daze is my favorite album of 2013 so far.

better than mbv? no way. compared to that it's a little bit of a bore i'd say.

Same here, loving this album, went out and bought the vinyl after two listens.

Got this on vinyl the other day. Absolute perfection. Less of a...'vibe' to it than Smoke Ring had/has, but the songs are incredible. I could listen to Goldtone all day.

new video for 'never run away' with a slightly different mix! http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2013/05/01/180361194/kurt-viles-hazy-philadelphia-adventure?sc=tw&cc=share

lol why didn't i notice one of these songs was called "Air Bud", classic flick

air bud owns (in both incarnations)

yeah i'm kinda hungover and bummed out and this record is really great right now, it's better when you're kinda zone out

It's us a nice day for this in New York

I like to think a part of this records success is due to Stella

this is a great record, it has a positive vibe, something few records seem to have over-all.

I just listened to this on an airplane, good traveling music, zen & poignant

this album is so awesome. he brings the golden tones

Video for "KV Crimes" is out, and I like it a lot.

Just realized his initials are 'KV'

str8 up, is that Ned Ragget's photo on side D of the vinyl set?
