He mentioned purchasing an album in his second post. If he is legit new, he's lurked enough to know who to kiss up to.

Or I'm a musician and know how awesome getting paid is, especially on a small market level like the one I play where I live.

I love Ian Cohen. Even I don't agree with his reviews all the time, his negative reviews are always a fun read. He's the indie rock Roger Ebert.

Few things in life bring me more joy than reading a review written by Roger Ebert about a film he hates. Back before he got cynical and started hating every film, that is. His review of Rob Reiner's North is a thing of beauty.

Some of the stuff he hates is baffling (aka every horror movie in existence) but the man knows how to take down a movie like none other.

I hummed a Spice Girls song on a kazoo at a New Year's party recently, and although no one payed me for doing it, I get what you are saying.

You should know by now that every time I write more than a paragraph, I include at least one reference I think is funny, which most won't get. It's like "Where's Waldo."

I like the song "My Own Bare Hands." By Ween.

Posted by NO LOVE DEEP BJORRITO on Oct 10, 2012, 4:29am

That's a fine chune.

Back on topic, I've been spinning a thick stack of quality 2012 LPs (and a few digis) lately and getting pretty damn stroked for even more to come:

Brian Eno
Emeralds
Streetlight Manifesto double-double album (one double disc from the band, and another pair of discs containing the same songs re-recorded by Kalnoky and his "acoustic trio" - can I get a FUCK YES, Geno and Lumps?)
Tim Hecker & Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never) collaboration
Melt-Banana (not yet confirmed for 2012 but they're close)
Something else so cool that I forgot what it is

Posted by Pea on Oct 10, 2012, 10:27am

Isn't Brian Eno that guy that MGMT made famous?

I hate kids. No pun intended.

And how could I possibly forget what Trey Anastasio is? But then again I did go to Bonnaroo with Goldbeard...

Emeralds

What's the word on this? I haven't heard anything about it yet

Posted by NadineHurley on Oct 10, 2012, 2:50pm

Emeralds is the shit and I'm sure you will get to see for yourself at Sasquatch next year.

Oh I already love Emeralds, I just hadn't heard any news about a new album.
