no age is good, i like them, good ol' power pop, i thought wierdo rippers was a helluva lot better than the new one though.

damn, i also forgot xiu xiu's 'women as lovers'. i loved that record, almost as good as la foret me thinks.

Rob Instigator 06.18.2008 04:33 PM

the xiu xiu women as lovers CD I bought was (unknown to me) one of 500 with a complememtary DVD with 15 videos and tour footage and pictures and all sorts fo cool xiu xiu stuff.

don't see the comparison between ac and no age.

it's like saying "megadeth makes snoop dog sound like carol king".

only connection i've ever heard is that NA's song "impossible bouquet" sounds similar to AC's "Kids On Holiday", and it kinda does... aside from that, they both make good music that is kinda indie and kinda pop?

id say no age is kinda kinda kinda kinda shoegaze and really power pop.

animal collective is kinda pop kinda folk kinda experimental kinda everything.

those bands really do have nothing in common.

atsonicpark 06.20.2008 03:39 PM

animal collective and no age sound nothing alike... the only thing they have in common is they both seemed to get really popular out of nowhere.

The new xiu xiu... ehhhhhhhhh... maybe they're just starting to get old to my ears.

Everyneurotic 06.20.2008 05:44 PM

women as lovers didn't really do a lot for me either.

has some decent songs in it, though.

batreleaser 06.20.2008 07:27 PM

i think the new xiu xiu is as good as anything theyve done. theyre touring with prurient. thats gonna be a tense crowd.

atsonicpark 06.21.2008 06:28 AM

i saw them when they toured with yellow swans, it was nice.

sarramkrop 06.21.2008 06:33 AM

What would we do if the years weren't numbered? What would we do if numbers didn't exist at all?

 


This is my question for today.

batreleaser 06.21.2008 07:34 AM

well, without numbers im almost sure wed be fucked.

Who is actually being ironic in this case? It must be me, as you clearly don't have a sense of humo(u)r/ taste.

I haven't listened to anything from 2008, and I only bought 3 or 4 albums from 2007. I'm too busy discovering the past.

decided to check this out, as I generally find myself enjoying anything you very passionately stand behind. I'm extremely glad I did. Stunning album. I listened to it last night while trying to sleep and it created such a beautiful soundscape.
