hmmm, that site is blocking me . Is anyone else (non-American continent probably) not able to access that site or is it just me? I reinstalled my firewall (comodo free version) yesterday, I'm wondering if I did something wrong there, since I'm also no longer receiving any mails from the Dime's bot-list. which shouldn't make any sense because it's webmail, but you never know


This is the message I'm getting from this site

Error code 16

When you say "non-American continent", do you mean North America or Pole-to-Pole? Because I'm a bad hombre from a shithole and I can access the site just fine thank you very MUCH.

The new issue of Under The Radar (two covers: Sleater-Kinney and Angel Olsen) is a "my favorite album" special, in which a big amount of cats (64 in the print edition, 83 in total in the digital one) talk about their all-time favorite LP. Alan Sparhawk partook in these shenanigans, and while the magazine's website's announcement doesn't reveal the titles (fewer sales otherwise, you follow), he had this to say, in part:

"This whole record was this giant thing. It was the step further beyond Pink Floyd's The Wall, which had been the teen angst record that had been around a lot when I was the age when you start thinking, 'Oh, man. Life is heavy.'"

Alan plays on Gaelynn Lea's new song, "The Long Way Around":

ABOUT THIS TRACK:

Luscious violin loops, sparse but sparkling guitars and heartwrenching lyrics make Gaelynn Lea's newest single "The Long Way Around" a melancholy delight. This song was inspired by the relationships that take work but are worth it in the end. Musical guests include the likes of Alan Sparhawk, Charlie Parr, and several other talented Minnesota artists. Mixed by Portland's much-loved producer and engineer Tucker Martine at Flora Recording & Playback. Mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Robert Hadley of Hadley Mastering in Los Angeles, CA.

Goddammit, it's like you're asking to be bitch-slapped. Liking it redeems you, though.

Someone posted a comment and then removed it again ...
I wanted to reply that I feel the same way which is partly the reason that I saw them 30 times since The Great Destroyer came out and didn't see their last tour.

The last album is so bass-heavy that it hurts my tinnitus plagued ears. But as a form of art I still find it masterful

Was it another spambotter that had copy/pasted a previous comment?

Edit:
Oi Nevermind. I've been talking to myself again. Spambotter had copied part of my first post in this thread

[Bytor Peltor]

Wow, 30 times......lucky you!
