So I finally listened to this Wavves guy?

Only the one song, I guess, "Post Acid" the first single off the new one? Slate just did a huge article on in.

http://www.slate.com/id/2258792/

And... I mean... I didn't like actively hate it but I don't know that I'd leave a radio station on if it was playing.

Somewhere under the junk was a decent hook but it just came off like the closing credits music to a late-1990s self-conscious slacking-off comedy that couldn't afford a Weezer song.

I will never understand the process by which singles are chosen.

I mean, that song is fine, but it isn't the song on that album that has been stuck in my head for a week.

Hey, that's pretty good.  You should submit your resume to Pitchfork.  Seriously.

I always liked what he was trying to do, just he was taking a cheat to get there.

What?
Jimi Hendrix can't actually play guitar backwards, either.


I'll look for a place to download Best Coast, but actually all I do is "best coast site:mediafire.com" on google. The new album is coming out in a month or so, I think. Right now it's all just singles and an EP.

I just really don't get Keith's thing where "Wavves are good, but he is just turning up the distortion on GarageBand to get that sound."

My response is, Jimi Hendrix can't actually play the guitar backwards. They just put the tape on backwards on that song (I forget the one with all the backwards guitar... manic depression?). Is that "cheating"?

Yes, please share.

I'm listening to...

Neil Young! Man, totally nonstop since Saturday.

I bought Big Boi's new album, which I had already heard a couple weeks ago and love, and couldn't keep it in my car's CD player for more than 2 songs because I needed to hear some more Neil.

Well my mother's mp3 collection is basically mine.  I gave her a hard drive a couple of years ago with about 20k songs on it.  She doesn't have any mp3s of her own.  But theres a pretty good overlap in our tastes.

I don't know what was on the ipod though because it wouldn't sync to my itunes.  So I erased it and put my own selections on there.  I just listened to Keith's Mozart Mix from a few years ago.

Right now Im listening to Doc's mix.  There has been some Neil Young and Cake, Beatles, Ice Cube and a bunch of other shit.

I don't know man.  Maybe just like it kinda sounds like shit, whereas he could have bought a decent distortion pedal and a shitty tape recorder and made the same sound better and barely slightly more complicated.  Cheaper too, though probably had the computer already.

Like I don't actually like the way Wavves sounds, and it is pretty grating after a whole album, but I like his take on what a song should be??  And like I kinda see what he is going for with the sound and would like to hear what he wants it to be, but that ain't the way to go about getting it??? Either way the new one is the shit, so whatever.

Also, found all the best coast shit.  I do it the same way as you, but the first time you linked them I couldn't find anything.  This time it was all over.  New album out July 27, I am pretty stoked.  Also, downloaded the new Soft Pack album today, haven't listened though.  Anyone in to the Muslims/Soft Pack?  Muslims self titled pretty bad ass.

ah, I get what you were saying now. I thought it was the idea of using GarageBand that bothered you, not the actual sound of it. Which is why I didn't get it.

I really like the Muslims/Soft Pack. I saw them in NYC 2 years ago and thought they were the coolest ever. The drummer played his drums standing up, but still had a kick pedal, which I thought was cool. At one point he was playing a solo on the floor tom/stood-up-kick-drum/whatever it was with both sticks and the pedal, it was cool.
