Anyone a fan of The Microphones?

After reading this thread, I put in Mount Eerie yesterday. Wow, what a sonic landscape that record paints. Using all kinds of different noises and effects, the near-20-minute opener alone goes through all kinds of metamorphoses. Quite an interesting listen, but admittedly not one I would want to listen to every day.

Hang on for a few days, and you'll be able to put the new one in.

Alright Stone and tentoze! Saved me from having to instigate a shameless Moonbabies bump - but I'll take this opportunity to do just that

Hmmm, I have that one sitting at home, waiting to be listened to. Maybe tomorrow night I'll find some time to pop it in. I'm very intrigued since you and Jim both seem to like the Moonbabies quite a bit.

Yeah, but remember that Jimbo is a little bit lukewarm on this one. I absolutely love it, though. I kinda think you might not be able to give it enough attention, unless your listening time is starting to open up. It really took about 4 or 5 listens before it completely got to me. A little like Notwist's Neon Golden in that respect. Or Yo La Tengo's Electr-o-pura. Similarities in the music to both as well. Lots of Beatlesy goodness too, which is part of Jim's admitted problem with it. Right now I'm declaring it to be the Best album of 2004! Of course, it's the only one I've heard so far, but I won't let that little shortcoming hold me back
