i was going to post the cover of Mi Media Naranja, but honestly no matter how hi-res the picture you really need to see a physical copy to appreciate how fucking amazing it is. otherwise it just looks like kind of a blur:

David_Dovey · « **Reply #301 on:** 21 Feb 2010, 00:18 »

It might be bad marketing I guess but 9 time out of 10 my favourite album artwork features no writing on it at all (or the artist/title incorporated into the art organically). Anyway, you can always put the name on the spine.

Inlander · « **Reply #302 on:** 21 Feb 2010, 02:10 »

The label or distributor will often put a little temporary sticker on the front of the album anyway with the band and album names on it.

McTaggart · « **Reply #303 on:** 21 Feb 2010, 03:29 »

Sometimes people at JB Hifi write the band name and album title on the plastic wrap around the album.

Inlander · « **Reply #304 on:** 21 Feb 2010, 04:49 »

That's because after a long day working at JB Hi Fi it's the only thing that reminds them that they're still alive.

Spluff · « **Reply #305 on:** 21 Feb 2010, 04:53 »

That, and stealing CDs.

Inlander · « **Reply #306 on:** 21 Feb 2010, 04:57 »

They don't fear prison.

They've already worked at JB.

So, Romance Is Boring might very well be the best thing I have heard all year.

Fabriclive 50 (DBridge / Instra:mental) is quite good.

Also Starkey is going to be the Joy Orbison of 2010. Believe.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #310 on:** 22 Feb 2010, 01:13 »

The next big hyped-up thing for 2011?

KvP · « **Reply #311 on:** 22 Feb 2010, 01:28 »

Nah that'll probably be... I don't know, some motherfucker who turns out a big Rustie remix.

Whats I mean is that Starkey will be the big rave-y dubstep motherfucker of 2010.

Does John Lydon still sign off his U.S. shows the same way he did in the Pistols days?

Dear God I Hate Myself is great

Xiu Xiu just doesn't do it for me anymore.

Besnard Lakes? My initial impressions are that the Roaring Night is better than the Dark Horse and that they still sound like Low rockin the fuck out. The latter is kinda their shtick though.

Laura Veirs' new record is energetic and pretty.

I am really enjoying the new Frightened Rabbit.

JD · « **Reply #322 on:** 28 Feb 2010, 18:41 »

I concur

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #323 on:** 28 Feb 2010, 23:47 »

I disagree. Compared to the last album it just seems much more dull and prolonged to me, not at all like the constant flow of great tracks on The Midnight Organ Fight. Sure, there are a couple of great tracks in there but as a whole it doesn't live up to my expectations.

However, Sing The Greys wasn't exactly great either and they did add people to the band lineup for this album so maybe it was a bit rushed in the end.

scarred · « **Reply #324 on:** 01 Mar 2010, 00:12 »

Yeah I dug it for the first couple songs but after a while they all started to muddle together. Back to the Midnight Organ Fight for me.

Stylo - Gorillaz(music video)

nufan · « **Reply #326 on:** 02 Mar 2010, 08:03 »

That video is amazing. There's a moment about 2:40 in where Bruce Willis turns to the camera and just gives a look that seems to say "I'm motherfukkin Bruce Willis, and I'm about to do something awesome".

McTaggart · « **Reply #327 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 00:55 »

Can anyone tell me where I recognise the synth line in Rhinestone Eyes that starts about a third of the way in and then again at about 1:55 and then again later on from? It's been bugging me since the first time I heard that song on the radio.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #328 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 03:27 »

Some jerk in the comments thinks it sounds like the Theme from "Grease", and I'd be inclined to agree?

Thrillho · « **Reply #329 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 04:15 »

I don't like where the concept of the Gorillaz 'band' has gone now.

Good tune, though.

KaosPilot · « **Reply #330 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 04:42 »

I am enjoying that New Pornographers track. A lot.

New Frightened Rabbit is pretty good. I agree that it lacks a lot of what made 'Midnight Organ Fight' a really, really great album, but I'm still enjoying it. 'Skip the Youth' is a belter.

New Joanna Newsom is just too special. The 2nd Disc is totally standing out for me, but the whole thing is just beautiful and I was really sad when it finished.

Has anyone heard The Unwinding Hours album? From the ashes of awesome Scottish band Aereogramme, it's very post-rocky but without sounding really samey all the way through. I'm digging it.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #331 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 05:10 »

Yeah, I'm digging the new Gorillaz. I used to not like superfast Jellyfish, but it fits into the rest of the album.

scarred · « **Reply #332 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 06:43 »

Everything from "Rhinestone Eyes" to "On Melancholy Hill" is really goddamn solid and I'm probably enjoying it more than I should.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #333 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 16:33 »

Rhinestone Eyes is the shit.

that other one though..."Stylo" I believe it's called...not so good. It fact it kind of pisses me off for some reason. Overrall, I'm a little disappointed but I haven't even heard the last couple tracks yet.

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #334 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 16:49 »

Have I mentioned that the new Blood Red Shoes album is the shit yet?

Anyway, it is.

JD · « **Reply #335 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 18:43 »

I agree with the above statement.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #336 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 14:30 »

I don't think it's out yet (maybe I'm wrong), but listening to Deadelus' old stuff I am very much excited for a new album to come out of that direction.

Inlander · « **Reply #337 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 18:01 »

Fionn Regan's gone electric and I love it. Sounds like he's been listening to a lot of post-"Judas!" Dylan in the last couple of years.

scarred · « **Reply #338 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 18:30 »

So, I really like Plastic Beach. A lot. Right now, as an album, it seems like I only like Transference better. There've been a lot of great songs by other bands, but as great full-lengths go, these two are taking the cake.

JD · « **Reply #339 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 19:46 »

You don't like Have One On Me?

Haven't listened to it yet, A) because I am lazy and... well actually that is the only reason.

JD · « **Reply #341 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 19:53 »

It is so good go do it.

Guys have we talked about how The Hold Steady have a new record out this year?

Let's talk about that.

Quote

New Album “Heaven is Whenever” Available May 3 in the UK and EU / May 4 in the US
New Album “Heaven is Whenever” Available May 3 in the UK and EU / May 4 in the US

The Hold Steady recently put the finishing touches on ‘Heaven Is Whenever,’ their new album set for release May 4th on Vagrant Records and May 3rd on Rough Trade in the UK and EU. The album was produced by Dean Baltulonis, who engineered the band’s ‘Almost Killed Me’ and produced ‘Separation Sunday,’ and was recorded at Dreamland Recording Studios in Upstate NY and Wild Arctic Studios in Queens, NY, with mixing also happening at Wild Arctic.
Singer Craig Finn says ’Heaven Is Whenever’ is about “embracing suffering and finding reward in our everyday lives.” Piano and keys take a backseat to guitar on the new record, which also gets production help from guitarist Tad Kubler.
Recorded in several smaller sessions spread out over a long period of time, the songs on ‘Heaven Is Whenever’ received the benefit of being tested on the band’s recent tours. As Finn says this allowed them to “see what was working and what wasn’t. I believe this record benefits from us working at a more deliberate pace.”

The tracklisting for Heaven Is Whenever is:
1 The Sweet Part of the City
2 Soft in the Center
3 The Weekenders
4 The Smidge
5 Rock Problems
6 We Can Get Together
7 Hurricane J
8 Barely Breathing
9 Our Whole Lives
10 A Slight Discomfort

ok good because I was not planning on downloading anything else.

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #348 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 22:51 »

Well the reason I didn't like Ys was because I didn't like her voice, and that generally doesn't change from album to album

Anyone into the new Errors album? I'm about 4 tracks in and enjoying it a lot so far.
