Yeah, you must not have good taste because John Henry is TMBG's best album.

As for Beck's best song that's not on Guero but was on the leaked version of Guero, it's officially called "Send A Message To Her" and it's on the Japanese version, which some online stores are selling as the "Deluxe" version.  As it only has three extra tracks (available for free download if you PM me) I just ripped them from someone else's disc - I don't know if they'll be made available in the U.S. but since you can't buy them (technically) in this market I'm calling "fair use" on their re-distribution.

Fuck you, Beck.

[slink]

I've only heard the first few tracks off Guero so far. Didn't do it for me as much as the first two albums did.
I'll give it a proper listen at work tomorrow if I get a chance. I just got my iRiver and have copied across everything I could possibly ever think of listening to, so god knows what mood I'll be in tomorrow - probably more of the new Queens of the Stone Age album frankly.

I've been listening to some demo stuff I found on soulseek.

The TV on the Radio song netti fritti being one of them.  it cracks me up.

Also, I've been waiting for new stuff I ordered to arrive in the mail for forever.  soon I'm going to order the new a silver mt. zion... I've had it in my dl folder for a couple months, but the packaging is what I'm excited to see.

Is it weird I had no desire to hear the new Beck?  hm... I just haven't been that interested in Beck since '97.... though when browsing stuff on soulseek, I saw tons of new Beck stuff I could've listened to.. which is how I heard many new albums even if I previously hadn't heard or cared about the band/singer.  interesting.  now I'm slightly piqued yet not really... just about the one song I guess.  I'll have to go find it!

This is the truth.

Is it weird I had no desire to hear the new Beck?

If it is, then i'm very weird too.  It's especially so for me since I thought Sea Change was an awesome album, the best of the year.  I think it's because he's not looking forward any longer, but instead trying to recapture the audience that loved Odelay.  I'll probably love his next one.

Yeah, I loved Sea Change and Mutations.

But I thought Midnite Vultures was his best album, taking the Odelay thing as far as it can go.

The new one is like Mellow Gold 1.5 - it's halfway between the sound of MG and Odelay.

I read that the working title of this one was "Odelay 2" which I guess is about right - aren't sequels usually watered-down versions of what made the original a success?  (Star Trek and Spider-Man franchises did not follow this rule)

[Gimpson]

(Star Trek and Spider-Man franchises did not follow this rule)

Or X-Men, Evil Dead and Alien.

[jough]

Or Star Wars, Before Sunrise, or El Mariachi.

[arkabee]

or Mighty ducks!

well, i've only ever seen Might Ducks 2.  and it makes me cry!

it's the bestest.

Man, since when was State Songs a kids' album? Or even a childish one? Sure, it had some strange material, but most of it was excellent strange material. I laughed, I cried, I bought the vinyl "Montana" single.

I've been wavering on picking up Here Come th ABCs, and now I should probably do it.

I didn't mean it was a kids album but they've always played with vaguely edutainmental stuff such as State Songs. I also own the Montana single but my turntable won't play it since it's unbalanced.

[V-Adore]

State Songs wasn't edutainmenty at all, though, unless you count the occasional reference to a state flower or some such. I mean, the Arkansas song was about a ship that was a 1:1 scale model of Arkansas and sank the state in its construction, and I'm relatively sure that never happened. Also, "Montana" appears to be more educational about the sad phenomenon of mental illness in long-term hospital patients than about Montana, unless you really think Montana is a leg.

I just got Esquivel's "Loungecore" album, as well as the Vaseline's "The Way of the Vaselines- A Complete History." And my roomate got a Sammy Davis Jr. box set that I hope to rip sometime soon. Woo.

[Choop]

Magnolia Electric Co.'s new one - the dude at the record store gave it to me early. Just go to your local shop, and say, "What's the most awesome album of April?" (I asked for March's most awesome, and he said he couldn't think of one, then for february was a band i don't care for, but he was cool with giving me a CD that doesn't come out for a few more days.)

Picture: Southern rock/folk/Canadian country/guitar rock and you might have it*. Beautiful, lyrical, great guitar, songs that tie together = album.


*Or I just can't describe it.

Magnolia Electric Co.'s new one[...]

I have the live album.  I was all up on it for like a week, then I got a bit bored of it.  Which is strange because I loved it at first.  Just gets a bit boring after several listens.  How does this new one compare to the live record?

Does anyone like Samhain?  I have been listening to their first album.  Never was much of a Danzig fan, and the Misifts are fun and all, but only kind of, but I like this record.

Also, I have been listening to tons of Wu Tang, mainly Ghostface and GZA, and some Raekwon.

Also, anxiously awaiting the new Built to Spill record.  Hopefully by fall I guess.
