The Aislers Set - C/D?

The Aislers Set is one of those bands where I would give anything they've recorded plenty of listens, but I would never again see them live. It doesn't make much sense that they'd sound so superior in the studio rather than live, because even their recorded songs are pretty sloppy. But something about them live is not so good at all.

How I Learned to Write Backwards is a great, great album though.

amy linton is now just linton. she's undergone a transformation.

can you elaborate?

apparently she is presenting herself as a man now. people that have seen her play live since says she sounds the same however. or he.

well, maybe he can come back and tell me about musicology. though I don't see that happening, somehow.

obsessing on this song a bit lately

Funny how Aislers Set and other slumberland stuff turned out to be pretty influential in the end...

Can we acknowledge the vast ocean of lo-fi garage rock/pop/twee bands across the US, and the absurd popularity of putting TONS of reverb on the vocals in the last 4-5 years and just say 'classic'?

Man, that sucks that someone whom probably new Amy (or one of her housemates) stole the records. That is rough. Reminds me of being a DJ at WTJU (a college radio station) and seeing great records walk out the door all the time. Some really cool, rare vinyl would walk out the door and it was most certainly a fellow DJ (or friend of a DJ) doing the thieving. I mean, stealing from a community radio station is relly low, as it means future DJs (and listeners) don't have those records available to them, but knowingly stealing records from a music lover/collector is also super-wrong, especially one who made records as good as Amy's. Fuck this shit.

I stopped checking the website for news, but it looks like they played a few dates last year and this full set on youtube is A+ fantastic

Were the new remasters supposed to me more than they ending up being? There was nothing at Amoeba I wanted a few weeks ago, so I bought the new pressing of the Last Match CD. I had the original and the original vinyl, so I don't know why I bought it. In the liner notes it says "Not to Young to Get Married" was written by Spector etc. The song isn't on the new release and it isn't mentioned on the original liner notes. I already have the song on vinyl and cd, it just seems strange.
