Reminds me of Monster Magnet.

"First we get some surgery
Lost the kids then our identities.
But one thing I know for a fact,
Moustache stays right where it's at."


oh shit, that's totally, eh, serendipitous or somesuch.  you have a car that shoots fire, too,
which is sort of like a primer grey camaro.  or something.

anyways,
song 1 is, to me, like, reminscent, or, maybe a nod to some of their older songs.
keep in mind the keyboardist/organist only hooked up with them recently,
played on 3 or 4 songs last album.
so,
keep that in mind that the other 4 have been together for a real long time,
and the organist is new.

I am so confused by that
isn't this album supposed to come out a year from now?
how can it be leaked if it isn't done, is what I'm asking.

Yeah, I don't get why people want to hear unfinished tracks.  And if it's a year away from being completed, what are they hearing?  I'm thinking at this point all they would have is basically Wayne and the boys sitting in the studio making fart noises.

I don't know.  I don't generally mind hearing rough cuts of tracks.  If you see the band on tour before the album comes out, you're likely to hear the songs anyway, in at least slightly different form.

Ok, that's different.  I can wait though.  A new Flaming Lips record.  Joy of Joys, I spent many an hour listening to Yoshimi Battles the Pink *****s.  I used the album art as a desktop image for about a year.  Yeah that ones an awesome album.  My expectations are high for this new one.  I forgot that it was coming out so soon.

I try so hard to like Yoshimi...
but I"m still that guy who pisses off his friends by being all "Transmissions from the Satellite Heart, goddamnit!", all listening to "Jesus Shootin' Heroin" and being mad when people haven't heard of it, all having the entire Lips' discography on my computer, all burning mix cds for friends which are actually just a whole album, in order, with maybe Yoshime Pt. 1 at the end of it...

That's a question that doesn't even really need asking.

Although I was suprised that some of his folkier stuff is actually pretty good.

Glam of course, but the folky stuff is good too.

OK, I'm looking through all my old CDs to decide what to RIP and BURN and SHRED AND KILL KILL KILL and whatever I have to do to copy it to my new MP3 player...

So, I have this Hootie and the Blowgiraffe that I am listening to for the first time in ages.  I, um, like it.  Does this make me a bad person?

Hell no, that is one catchy album.

I however cannot ever listen to it again.  I worked in a CD store when it first came out, and because it would seriously sell a few copies whenever we played it the boss had me play it ALL THE DAMN DAY for like, two months straight. 

I cannot listen to the music of 1994-1995 at all really.  Please, no more Oasis, Toadies, Deep Blue Something, Silverchair, Hootie, Alanis, Biggie, or Dave Matthews "Under the Table and Dreaming", thank you.

I've never been fond of Hootie and the Blowgiraffe, but that reminds me of something.  I dated a girl once and she was obsessed with them, and the Counting Crows.  And not only was she obsessed with them, her family was.  When I told her that I couldn't stand either band, she told me it would be a problem.  She broke up with me a week later.

Anyway, I recently purchased Saint Etienne's Tiger Bay.  It's gorgeous.  I have most of the tracks from the album on a compilation, but the tracks I didn't have are a wonderful addition to my library.  Also, Like a Motorway, one of the finest songs ever recorded, on this disc has an additional verse and is at least a minute longer than the one I have.
