Whatcha been listening to this past week?

Got the new Silver Jews Tangleweed thing and listened to that some. Nice album. And a bunch to the latest from the National. Just gets better. A few other of my favorites from the year like Andrew Bird as I was putting together a year end comp.

That's about it.

EDIT: Boy, this is embarrassing! Not a single response in 4 hours on a Tuesday thread? Guess it is me. Same thing happened last time I started one of these. Should've learned my lesson, eh?

Awww... you're so cut and adorable I can't resist giving you some! Pity click action!!!

Just a busy day and way too many Yes fans around these parts.

Thanks! You're the only one who has ever called me cut so I know it must be special! Whatever it is! Back at ya! Indeed!






Soon to be found in a Christmas card near you, if you've been a good girl this year (but extra points if you've been bad) ...

Just acknowledging your awesome six-pack abs, Davey! Woohoo! Long live the Internet!

Oh sure. Just assume that nobody listened to this the first time and send it out again, eh?

Heheheh... bet you're wishing for a little ray of sunshine. How are the roads? They're supposed to be even worse tommorow. I'm glad I can walk to work. Drive carefully - I care!

I work nights to boot, when it freezes over. Wasn't but a couple of inches (the snow) and it cleared pretty quickly, but now its dark

We'll see

Thanks for your concern

Not much listening time this past week, but I did listen to a couple albums:

Ted Leo/Pharmacists - Shake the Sheets (on iPod)

Weezer - Pinkerton (on cassette)

Hopefully later in the week I'll get an opportunity to listen to some CDs.

Sorry I didn't get around to it yesterday, but it's still a worthwhile thread. Not this one perse, but overall. I think I mentioned I'm putting in a new patio, yesterday I moved 10 tons of AB3 by wheelbarrow. That's 19.5 tons of crushed rock for the base and yesterday my hands just didn't feel like typing. Not too much better today, but they work, at least until I get the Whacker plate compactor fired up in a bit.

I listened to a handful of really cool bootlegs. Two Wheat discs stood out. One is a 2003 show at Liberty Hall in Lawrence, very cool. The other a 2003 compiliation of Wheat live doing rare live songs or different versions live. Both are awesome but the Lawrence disc features the better and most consistent on key singing.

Got a chance to listen to a couple of new to me discs, the first ...Introducing the Concussions. This is a very good little surf band pretty standard in what you'd expect them to sound like but it's very, very competent and a load of fun to listen to, especially useful to forget about cold winds outside.

Also played the new Of Montreal album and enjoyed about 75-80% of the songs on that disc right off. My very first Of Montreal experience, and it was a good one. You know who-thanks a million.

Like Davey, I too busted out the old National disc and enjoyed it greatly. I really need to find out what the song "Looking For Astronauts" is about. I know it's not about looking for Astronauts. Must find time to go over the lyrics soon.

Also grabbed one skip button enhanced listen to Slosh's YEC. Mainly just to hear the songs I didn't already have, but also because a couple of tracks I just didn't want to sit through knowing there was something better ahead(there just had to be something better!). That AmAnSet song is killer, plus one I was going to use you bum. Snooze and loose I guess! While I still don't get the almost universal appeal of The Decemberists, that was the best song by them that I've heard. PT track started out really awesome, then by about 20 minutes into the track it kind of devolved into what drives me nuts about prog bands. Thanks a ton for the disc Slosh.

Hey now! You used to be a Yesfan, too, once.
