Side note: I’m totally geeking out over today’s free download band Little Teeth. They’re pretty much blowing my mind…and the credits I was saving for the next Selects that I spent instead on the rest of the album. Amelia’s review is spot on. I totally want to jump around and be angsty and then fingerpaint the walls and windows of my office in my underwear.

no accounting for taste I guess but I loved the whole Women album all the way through, at least on the first listen.

And I picked up the El Guincho single and loved loved loved it.

you were just in the wrong mood for that Mount Eerie – its much quieter and surely anything with the beautiful voice of Julie Doiron is great!? Hope you get out of bed the right side today

hooray for el guincho! i was so dissapointed when they/he cancelled Pitchfork. and i’m guessing the good three or four women songs are the ones i alreay heard and picked up from blogs.

i think the new department of eagles disc is great. just… great. but wow am i dissapointed with the catfish haven. i really dug their first album, but this one (or the handful of songs that i’ve heard) sounds like rock music made to make my parents feel hip. it has an odd blues brothers sort of feel with… i dunno… a bob seager soul. like you’re feeling frisky and you want something just a scoche* harder than Sister Hazel. I know i know, the first album wasn’t so hardcore, but still. this one feels so… plastic. like the whole thing was made to be dispersed between commercials or that housewives show. ditch the horns boys (and I’m a huge fan of brass) and get back to that cowbell!

* how does one spell scoche? scosh? skoshe? meh, you know what i mean. just a little bit more.

Ok I waited till i’d downloaded it first this time. Are you sure U.S. was supposed to get the Streets??? Everything else by them was yanked and they’re all on vice too.

“dude are you gonna make me actually *listen* to music??? WTF?!? (jokes)”

I can relate. I have 855 downloads to burn through in 50 days. Talk to me in January about what the hell I download between now and Thanksgiving. (jokes).

Yancey, the new master of the snark. Yancey’s ‘na’ is becoming my favorite thing on Tuesdays.

I like grumpy Yancey posts because my save for later’s too full as it is.

I was most excited about the Women album today.

Still looking for El Guincho, although a single showed up which gives hope.

My favorite Deerhoof song is My Pal Foot Foot from the Shaggs tribute album (not listed as Deehoof but it is):

If I can backtrack (quite) a few weeks… I finally downloaded that Prince Douglas dub album (on Wackies) and it is fantastic! Playing it non stops!
