Hahahahaha, really good one. As you can notice, my english is not the best, hahaha, but I eat both, chicken and señoritas!

See ya!

he is right. i know these are obscure acts, but they shouldn't be. i think their music is the best thing music wise of 2008.

check out buckets of bile too. she's from brooklyn and her stuff is really great too. even though she gave me a tape and it turned out to be a talking heads/clash mix tape.

zola jesus interview in vice. horrible interviewer. i think vice could be one of the worst magazines ever too.

Them girls have the right idea while all the boys are trying to beat Guitar Hero on expert.

I find it amazing that such primitive equipment produces fantastic music like this. The second part of the US Girls video especially left me thinking ''WOW!''.

I love it.

Marras, how much have the U.S. Girls already put out? All I came across was the "Cassingle #2". Which, curiously enough, gives me a hint that there should be a "Cassingle #1" out there somewhere, too.

Grouper most likely doesn't qualify as a part of this girlie lo-fi movement, however I've found this footage of a song I hadn't heard before and it moves me a lot.

Thanks, that's amazing footage

zola jesus are ace ace ace.

u.s. girls, their introducing...gets boring after a few listens.

grouper are otherwordly, just incredibly touching and fulfilling...yes, they get me going poetically like that.

I don't think there is a first cassette, not sure. I have the same cassette you have, plus the LP, and the CDR Chocolate Monk put out. None of them bored me as much as they bored Everyneurotic though. And thanks for that video, it's really good.

I stumbled upon this while searching everything grouper related lately.
2 questions:
is dragging a dead dear up the hill worth the money?
i she really that beautiful as I imagine her to be?

heavy water / I`d rather be sleeping is still one of the most beautiful songs ive heard in ages

yes.

and i agree, it's one of my favorite songs of last year.

okay. then this will be bought in a few minutes, cause amazon says just one copy available.
btw I answered myself the second question, the answer is: yes, too

I don't like that song much because her vocals remind me of Tori Amos or something. The song itself is alright, it's just the vocals that are 'meh'.

grouper girl is very good looking, yes.

EP & CDr & LP & ETC Update
friends--

my first lp is already finished! it was an enduring process, but i am absolutely confident that you're all going to love it. it is certainly going to reflect a new direction. keep it moving through purgatory.

the trip is called "the spoils" and will be released on the blessed sacred bones record label. i will release a song from the album exactly two weeks after the official release of the "tsar bomba" ep.... which should be soon? it is in the current state of being born to wax; so the datebooks should be marked for early february.

the cdr "new amsterdam" should be released within weeks also (on sacred bones!!!) it will include my wnyu session as well as some unreleased songs... including an old cover of "the lady in the radiator". the majority of the unreleased songs were recorded when i was very young. jailbait blues, is what it is.

and as for the etc... i have also been busy working on my first opera. but that's all i can speak of it right now!

i love you all and feel this shit in my veins.

warmth,
--n.

I hope U.S. Girls is not going to be cancelled because of the snow today, or I'll be really pissed off.
