I don't actually like SoaD but isn't that album a collection of tracks that they never planned to release but had spread via Kazaa so quickly that they figured, "hey, if there's a demand for tracks we thought weren't good enough to release then what the hell?"

perhaps they were not alluding to "information culture" so much as American Culture:

Saint Etienne do a totally wicked synth-disco "Only Love Can Break Your Heart". I am listening their album Fox Base Alpha.

I don't know about that. Psyopus is pretty bad. A golden boy guitarist noodling his brain out with a competent drummer and a "sorry, he's my roommate" vocalist doesn't do much for me. Arctopus will probably be alright if they keep their songs short. But I think Orthrelm is all I'll need in the realm of lazer metal guitar warfare.

Also, Angryhate and Anal Cunt are great. The way Seth describes the origin of AH on his site cracks me up. I've never heard their records, but the name and concept rule. Tsa nice username, brociferous.

Oh yes. Why this band never hit it bigger in the States, I will never know. Mothra!

I think I listened to "How We Used to Live" off of Sound of Water about six times yesterday at work. Which, of course, sounds pretty much nothing like their "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", but that is one of the really nifty things about Saint Etienne - their sound may change, but their signature is pretty distinctive.

Anal Cunt [is] great


Man, was I ever disappointed when I actually, after years of having enjoyed reading the backs of their CDs in record shops, got around to hearing an AC song. The actual songs themselves are interchangable; roughly seventy-one seconds of unintelligible screaming and solid, featureless noise ostensibly made with musical instruments. I still use "You Drive an Iroc-Z" as an all-purpose insult, though.

If you try to follow what AC's drummer is doing on the snare for their noisier songs, it resembles a really fast one-handed fill. I like that, but yeah, they were started with the sole intention of pissing people off and sounding terrible. Check out the AC acoustic album - Picnic of Love.

I am digging on this new Gorillaz album. Kind of a shame that Miho Hatori and Del don't make apperances this time, though.

Recent acquisition: Wolf Parade's self-titled six-song EP. Haven't listened yet, but the two MP3s I have from it make me happy like very little music has lately, so I suspect good things.

even if I feel like Indie Rock Pete for even owning it

I got the new Sleater-Kinney. I like it but I think Indie-Rock Pete must have an alternate version or something.

The new Mike Doughty is great. I wish I'd seen him last month when I had the chance.

Yeah, I was kinda underwhelmed by the new Sleater-Kinney album, cause I'd heard so much about it being their big rock-out guitar album, and sure, they have picked up some nifty tricks, but I still think Dig Me Out and All Hands on the Bad One are way more rock-out-y.  

Things I've been listening to over-and-over-and-over lately are Leadbelly, Joanna Newsom, the X-Ray Spex, and Serge Gainsbourg.  It's a winning combination.

Edit:  Oh, and Tim by the Replacements.  Manymany times.

...Serge Gainsbourg.


Also got the new Sleater-Kinney, and I like it.  It's the first album by them that I've owned.

I think I've mentioned it before, and I think it was in response to andalucia (or someone) mentioning his name, but Serge Gainsbourg's Cannabis Soundtrack is so good.  It's hard to find, but I was able to download it on Soulseek.  I don't think my SO will go for it, but I want this one track off of it played at our wedding.  It's probably better that way, though.  I think the track's title translates as Last Wound or something like that.  And the title track is a-maz-ing.  It can be found on that Saint Etienne mix CD.

I am previewing Art Brut's latest, because I read about it this morning.  It's OK, but I think the vocals annoy me a little.  Fun though.

Today and yesterday at work I was able to listen to my iPod for most of my shift, and listened to a lot of early and mid-90s rock like Nirvana, Treepeople and Soundgarden.  It was good times.

And I recently picked up Geek the Girl by Lisa Germano.  It's good.

Sparks' "Kimono My House". I cannot believe this record was made over 30 years ago.

I haven't heard that one, but I'm downloading it now (legally).

But "Angst in my Pants" is one of my favourite albums.  They did "Micky penis" on SNL back in the early 80s and when I saw that I was hooked.

Almost all of their album names are awful puns or plays on words, too, like "A Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing" or "Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins".

Also, their last album was released in 2002!
