Tuesday is the hippest of days in RR land

And the ultimate- The National....This thing is so hot that sometimes I had to remind myself to breathe.

Heehee, that does look pretty darn hot. Is that from a link you've posted before? How's the sq? How many mb's?

Hey Whooptee, nice review of the comp! I kinda like everything on it too, but I guess most of the people that put these things together tend to feel that way. That Blue Van does sound an awful lot like early Kinks, eh? And Neko does really sound like Exene on that song. Exene and John wrote it so it is the most overtly X sounding song on the album, but overall a pretty nice listen. Real bluesy and rootsy at times. That Valina is an Albini production. They're a little Austrian band that opened for his Shellac a few years ago in Europe so wound up asking him to record their album in Chicago at his place.

I did spin your 80s comp and it is a lot of fun. I've never had a copy of the YMG original version of Straight World but always enjoyed Courtney's take on it with the Hole gang. Lots of great songs on this comp! I'd probably move around the XTC opener myself cause I think it needs a little more of a lead-in, but that just might be me. Nice collection.

Spent a lot of time myself with that excellent Paul K. and the Weathermen album from 1997 that I've talked a little about before. Decided to add some words about it to my little review site here. Very nice album. Also still playing that Richard Davies Telegraph a lot. And Spoon and the Mekons and some others.

401.91 mb. This site uses compression-mainly flac but I've also seen some shn as well as ape.

Dimeadozen.org, not sure if that's been posted here, I know I did at Obner at one point. No MP3's in the chain is the draw at DAD. SQ is A- but I'm a pretty tough grader. It's not a SBD but it's an excellent recording. I'm gonna make a comp from all these suckers and see how that works. Rave Recs live, maybe ?
