how come you get all these good mathy bands in Ireland, paul?

Factums-"Lost One=Most Slept on Record of the Year.

Just picked this up on a whim after hearing some previous stuff of the band, but WOW! This is a doozy. This record is an amazing combination of modern Noise, Late-Kraut synths, Punk Rock squalling, and an Art Rock vibe that brings to mind a revamped version of bands like Pere Ubu and Chrome. Great record.

i like

no age-nouns
ivo papasov-dance of the falcon
barn owl-from our mouths a perpetual light
ill bill-the hour of reprisal

deres more to oireland dan dis!

yesterday i downloaded the new david grubbs and i think that might be the best of the year.
its reallly good

Yeah it's awesome.

im on the fence about the new aids wolf.

I heard the new religious knives recently.. well there are a few.. but "the door" and it was okay. I'm surprised no one on here is jacking off to it; Thurston produced it, right?

Also.. AIDS Wolf has a new one? Guess I'll listen to it with an open mind even though I don't like them.

I like this James Blackshaw album a lot more than the Extra Life one... wow.

Yeah, it blew my mind a little bit. I've listened to it maybe 10 times. I dunno if it's his best, but it's really good...

He's only 27. Definitely a musician who I can see eventually becoming the best in the world if he continues at releasing this much quality music at such an accelerated rate.

ca't stop listening to Wavves

wavves that good yeah? must check it out later...

Definitely, the guy has talent and a LOT of potential. He could really become the next Fahey in terms of legend.
