Hahahahaha, really good one. As you can notice, my english is not the best, hahaha, but I eat both, chicken and señoritas!

See ya!

he is right. i know these are obscure acts, but they shouldn't be. i think their music is the best thing music wise of 2008.

check out buckets of bile too. she's from brooklyn and her stuff is really great too. even though she gave me a tape and it turned out to be a talking heads/clash mix tape.

zola jesus interview in vice. horrible interviewer. i think vice could be one of the worst magazines ever too.

The quality of this video is good.

Them girls have the right idea while all the boys are trying to beat Guitar Hero on expert.

I find it amazing that such primitive equipment produces fantastic music like this. The second part of the US Girls video especially left me thinking ''WOW!''.

I love it.

Marras, how much have the U.S. Girls already put out? All I came across was the "Cassingle #2". Which, curiously enough, gives me a hint that there should be a "Cassingle #1" out there somewhere, too.

Grouper most likely doesn't qualify as a part of this girlie lo-fi movement, however I've found this footage of a song I hadn't heard before and it moves me a lot.

Thanks, that's amazing footage

zola jesus are ace ace ace.

u.s. girls, their introducing...gets boring after a few listens.

grouper are otherwordly, just incredibly touching and fulfilling...yes, they get me going poetically like that.

I don't think there is a first cassette, not sure. I have the same cassette you have, plus the LP, and the CDR Chocolate Monk put out. None of them bored me as much as they bored Everyneurotic though. And thanks for that video, it's really good.

I stumbled upon this while searching everything grouper related lately.
2 questions:
is dragging a dead dear up the hill worth the money?
i she really that beautiful as I imagine her to be?

heavy water / I`d rather be sleeping is still one of the most beautiful songs ive heard in ages

yes.

and i agree, it's one of my favorite songs of last year.

okay. then this will be bought in a few minutes, cause amazon says just one copy available.
btw I answered myself the second question, the answer is: yes, too

I don't like that song much because her vocals remind me of Tori Amos or something. The song itself is alright, it's just the vocals that are 'meh'.

grouper girl is very good looking, yes.

EP & CDr & LP & ETC Update
friends--

my first lp is already finished! it was an enduring process, but i am absolutely confident that you're all going to love it. it is certainly going to reflect a new direction. keep it moving through purgatory.

the trip is called "the spoils" and will be released on the blessed sacred bones record label. i will release a song from the album exactly two weeks after the official release of the "tsar bomba" ep.... which should be soon? it is in the current state of being born to wax; so the datebooks should be marked for early february.

the cdr "new amsterdam" should be released within weeks also (on sacred bones!!!) it will include my wnyu session as well as some unreleased songs... including an old cover of "the lady in the radiator". the majority of the unreleased songs were recorded when i was very young. jailbait blues, is what it is.

and as for the etc... i have also been busy working on my first opera. but that's all i can speak of it right now!

i love you all and feel this shit in my veins.

warmth,
--n.

I hope U.S. Girls is not going to be cancelled because of the snow today, or I'll be really pissed off.

I hope for you that she managed to buy a new tape machine, because it was broken last Thursday.

i doubt i'm going to be able to make it because of the snow, hopefully she'll come back soon

The gig was ok but it felt too rushed. The sound wasn't great either, possibly because the man who was-self indulgingly putting records on for way too long thought that his taste in music was what people go to gigs for. Anyway, we crossed eyes outside while I was smoking a cigarette and chatted briefly before she played. Sweet girl.

i wasn't sure how well she'd come across live but i thought she was excellent

I wish she had played for longer and the chemical brothers only for 3 minutes.

she's really good

Girl's got soul.

Zola Jesus sounds like Coldplay. Grouper sounds like Tori Amos.

You have an overactive imagination.

No, it's just that you can fuck off, I think? I said one song reminded me of Coldplay. Plus that Grouper song is cheesy as fuck.

According to my last.fm, that's my favourite song since I logged in.

its a beautiful pop song. dont listen to em slavo. i dont think its cheesy

I'm so going to neg-rep the two of you.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to that silly Billy again.

Down boy.

Sap.

Have you heard of Topaz Rags, sarramkrop? Good stuff too.

u.s. girls can sound like a demented dolly parton at times but thats no bad thing.

also noone has mentioned inca ore.

birthday of bless yu is the greatness.

The "Gravel Days" CDr (out on Chocolate Monk) is really fucking mindblowing.

Yes... one of my favourite releases of last year.

i'm excited to see us girls twice in one month. march 11th with aids wolf and april 2nd.
