just put on apple o' or the runners four, sit down, and let it play. deerhoof, like the idea of deerhoof, of the four of them having such ways of playing and watch them is so funny as a whole. just listen to one of those, then move around their discography.

also, i might get flak for this, but

deerhunter and the hold steady put out some FUCKING AWESOME music. "constructive summer" by the latter is my jam.

I like to think I like Deerhoof a lot, but really I think the drumming is the best part of that band and the only reason I really listen to them... because I usually don't listen to them very often. Besides a few great riffs, that album didn't really "rock", but I liked it, of course.

Smile - Boris?

I said that.

ah...I see now. Worth restating at any rate.

Seriously though, don't overlook MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS.

It was produced by Dave Fridman and rocks harder than... most. I've been listening to it all week. Even though I thought it was 2008, I think the album actually came out in late 2007; otherwise, it would've been at the top of my top of 2008 list. anyway... *edit*: It came out very early 2008. I'm updating my list now, haha.

Here's a link to the whole album: http://www.crystallake.dreamhosters....ng%20Dregs.rar

It's like 40mb, come on download it.

Deerhoof are ok, nothing special.

Sorry that blog link won't extract tracks 2 and 3 for some reason. Well, I have them if anyone needs me to upload 'em..

Best rock band around right now. There's a nearly 10 minute song on that album that just blows my fucking mind.
