i recently picked up a copy of the Toadies' live album.

it is the rock.

and i am saddened that they have apparently drifted off into the ether on their divers vectors.

Yeah, what happened to the Toadies?  They put out 1 album of awesomeness then disappeared.

They are from Texas BTW, in case anyone didn't know that.

 I think that the Pleather ep and first 3 demos are the best by the Toadies. Seriously, that stuff makes their first full length sound like such a steaming pile by comparison (except "Tyler").

Are we talking about two different bands?

Yeah, I think so. There is/was an actually "The Toadies." Though using that name as a diminutive for Toad the Wet Sprocket is a pretty cool idea.

Well that shit must rock like a hurricane because as I have stated, the Possum Kingdom album kicks my lame ass.

The early stuff has got negative mercy. I'll dig up the mp3s of their demos I have and host them somewhere if you would like to hear. The Pleather ep has Mister Love, Possum Kingdom, Happy Face, and the insanely awesome Got a Heart, all recorded at an ideal level of rawness.

edit: oops, Pleather also has the song Ruth.

Excellent choice. They're a "supergroup" on the Matador label. It is basically impossible to be unhappy while listening to their music. I particularly like All For Swinging You Around and From Blown Speakers. You can listen to samples of damned near everything on their site (I advise that you don't accidentally leave off "the").

More details here.

Wombat,

I'm now more into them thanks to this board, specifically V-Adore, who ranted and raved about them a while back.  I've liked just about everything I've heard from them so far.  Also, I'm seeing them up in Seattle in March, when they open for Belle & Sebastian.

May I suggest AC Newman's album?  It came out in 2004, and I can't remember the title.  And yes, I'm too lazy to google or amazon or allmusic it or whatever, but, come on.  It's the only album he released in 2004.  It may be his only album.  It's fantastic.  Oh, he's the brains behind The New Pornographers.  I'll be doing a mix CD soon, with a song of his on it, and so let me know if you want a copy (though it may be a while before I get it done).

Y'all are so good with the education.

I have always been disturbed by the name Neko Case.  It sounds like something #####***** would make up.  Also, you kids today, why are the song clips on websites so short?  I need more time than that to make up my mind.

I'd just like to take some credit for exposing V to the New Pornographers via my mix thankyouverymuch.

Also, there are 4 full songs available on their label's site. http://www.matadorrecords.com/the_new_pornographers/music.html

Miles is talking about A.C. Newman's album The Slow Wonder. I don't like his solo stuff as much but I do still like it.

I owe my love of New Pornographers (especially Neco Case) to this board as well.  Was it on your Mix Cort Jester?  I'm sorry i've forgotten and the disc are back at the house.  Before TOUAMB Neco Case was just that girl with the killer bod and the naked pictures on a pool table.  Would someone please find those pictures again...

Actually, uh, the thing that got me interested was Carlos's mix, which featured "July Jones" prominently. Oh, that song.
