I've been listening to Mew - And The Glass Handed Kites which I downloaded a couple weeks ago quite a lot... it sounds like a really impressive mix tape rock opera.  I'm still waiting for the single I ordered (the full length has a shitty cover -- looks like a bad photoshop job... I apologise, but I cannot have a truly ugly cover in my collection.. heh).

Also can't get enough of the new Calla album ' Collisions'... it's consistently good like the last album I got by them 'Televise' and really sets a mood.

Into the album Mountaineer - Sleep and Me as of today which is some dreamy sounding alt-country stuff.  here's a song I uploaded from it: Mountaineer - The Strangest Sound

I want to listen to Deerhoof simply because I love their name.  Is it possible to love a band just because they have a great name?  Would my love wane if I discovered they played New Country ala Garth Brooks?  I'll take comfort in the fact that any band with a name as cool as Deerhoof would never play New Country ala Garth Brooks.  I've never heard a single note of Deerhoof music, but I plan to see them perform in exactly one month, 11/11.

Not yet, but I mean to pick it up. If it's that much better, I expect magic things, unto my CD player spewing sparks of magic and conveying me to the land of Honah Lee.

Whateva. Mass Romantic may be better than Twin Cinema (I haven't listened to TC enough) but Electric Version is by far the best of the 3. There's no contest here. Even if you moved All for Swinging You Around to MR it still wouldn't be better.

Agreed, I like Electric Version much better than Mass Romantic.  Haven't picked up the new one yet.  I need to pick up a bunch of stuff--the Iron & Wine/Calexico thing, the new Broken Social Scene.

Star--is the new Mew available domestically, or will I have to spring for the import?

I just got a job again (Barnes & Nobles Booksellers #1979, Fiction Clerk what up!) , so hopefully I'll start buying records anew soon.
On Halloween, my ladyfriend and I are going to a Moutain Goats Halloween show. I am wearing a plastic Billy-Goat mask and she is wearing a plastic Sheep mask. They are creepy and frightening. There WILL be pictures.

Duuude, that's at the Knitting Factory, right?  I'm taking a New England Road Trip with my gentleman friend to see 'em at a gallery somewhere in Massachussetts, on the 27th or thereabouts.  I am pretty pumped.

I was going to suggest seeing them at the Iron hoss in Northampton MA on the 26th - cool venue in a great town - and then I remembered you'll get carded.  Have fun in Boston.

ETA: what the fuck is this, a new filter, or did I miss something?  H-O-R-S-E now comes out as "hoss"?  Screw you, J---h.  Fuck you!

I almost forgot that I have 3 tickets to see The New Pornographers at the posh Nightclub 9:30 this Saturday. Destroyer and Immaculate Machine opening. I've never heard of the 2nd one.

Import last I checked.  I'd go with amazon.co.uk since even with the conversion rate and no free shipping, I believe it's cheaper (£8.99 compared with $31.39 at amazon.com).  heh.
