    I'm wide awake, it's...Tunesday!

    The past week I've been playing with new tubes in my phono stage and I've listened to several tracks over and over. The most played track has been Train Under Water from I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by Bright Eyes.

    Others included: I Turn My Camera On, My Mathematical Mind, Delicate Place and Sister Jack from Spoon's Gimme Fiction.

    Second side of Now Here's Johnny Cash.

    In the car I've been listening to an 80's comp, a comp entitled Best of Cosmic America and Buena Vista Social Club.

    Not a lot of variety this week at home, but some concentrated listening. I've watched a lot of movies though!

    I've been playing the Appleseed Cast album so much that I had to get out today to grab the Pretty Girls Make Graves release just to get it out of the player. It took about three listens to really appreciate the Appleseed Cast album and there's a couple of places where I would have axed the noodling but there are some awesome songs on this disc and to be honest, it's the first really good album I've listened to this year. Pretty sad state of affairs when Davey has to turn me on to a band that's from a town 30 minutes away and does the lions share of their recording 20 minutes away.

    PGMG was the second album of 2006 that I really like. Stone turned me on to this band and while I don't think it's going to thrill the main crowd around here Dustychalk, Stone, Davey, and probably a couple of the coolest like Audiobill and Nobody have a decent chance of liking it. BTW, Nobody, You should be getting a package soon.

    Still have the Calexico album in shrink wrap but that should change at some point tonight.

    Peace - Out

    Hey, I'm really liking the new Cast too. Don't think they recorded this one in your playground, though. Cannon Falls, Minnesota at Pachyderm Recording Studios is what they say. Got kind of an odd sound with some strange distortion effects. But some of it is pretty hypnotic. I can see it growing big for me too.
    Saw Eudora on there for something so it wasn't all in Minnesota. Lemme go downstairs and grab it.....

    Nope, some of it done in Lawrence and some of it done in Eudora as well. Looks like a lot of the final touches, backing vocals, aux. instruments, keys, percussion. Not that it makes a darn bit of difference, if it's good it's good.

    Ah, that makes sense. Get away to a new place for inspiration to lay down the main tracks, and then bring it back to the comfort of home to finish it off. Pretty nice high quality digipak, although it doesn't stay closed very well when new. I'm sure many fans like myself probably cringed a bit when we spied the silly AMG quote on the edge cover slip, "America's closest answer to Radiohead", but that's easily tossed and forgotten soon enough.

    Thanks, but no. BTS is an auto buy for me. No need to preview. Like I said above, I like to fondle my music

    Just need to get out to the store again and nab it. Bunch of good lookin stuff comin out this month and early next.

    No, it's not horrible. It's just that I like Appleseed Cast A LOT and I had forgotten that they have a new album..

    Yeah, I was hoping to nab an early copy of that last week when I was out but they didn't have it in yet. Definitely wanna hear it sooner than later. I was fondling the double 180 gm LP of that Loose Fur album last time I was out. Very nice package, but at almost $20 I just fondled it discreetly in the store. Still a good price for what you get, unless just hearing the music is all you care about. So much cool vinyl out now.

    Loose Fur really grew on me quite quickly. "Thou Shalt Wilt" is going on a comp soon as I get around to buying a legit copy.
