let's do top 5s of the year so far

[mistle]

i'll try that. i've never listened to any of the old stuff. he's a nazi, right?

[Sonic Johnny]

kinda. i dunno. there are so many internet geeks arguing about what he is and isn't it's just kinda pointless to speculate. Though i do believe it is widely accepted that he stopped using guitars because they're "nigger instruments"

[mistle]

i looked it up. seems he's just racist/segregationist whatever

[Sonic Johnny]

who cares... the riffs are crazy hypnotic.

And this Lurker Of Chalice thing is pretty good so far. Its a relief to hear some well-produced Black Metal that doesn't sound like it was recorded inside a hoover.

Also you really should marry me. I'm a handsome, fairly fit young man whose job will be worth a hell of a lot when the US economy collapses, cause i get paid in Australian $$.

[mistle]

not if you marry me we could move to norway though. how appropriate!

found that album. i like the title track

[Sonic Johnny]

i tell you what. we'll get married on the catbus with a whole stack of netphorians, have the reception at burning man, then we can go live in a shack in the bleakest, most grimm part of norway (with good ADSL) and keep warm by the flames of my valuable australian dollars.

[mistle]

sounds nice, but norway isn't really that grim. it's mostly very pretty

[Sonic Johnny]

damn. well there goes that plan.

also, you gots to learn how to spell grimm.

[mistle]

that just makes me think of

So far...

Sun Kil Moon - April
Death Cab - Narrow Stairs
Why? - Alopecia
Fleet Foxes - S/T
Sigur Ros - Whateverthefuckit'scalled

In no particular order. Didn't like Vampire Weekend at all. Guess I should download some Tallest Man on Earth.

[Shapan]

finally listened to grouper.

fucking excellent. this is like the kind of awesome surreal atmosphere i wanted to hear while listening to devotion. definitely a top 5 record of the year.

i know. i'm listening to scarlett johannson right now

you don't get to say anything bad about perfume though

[celluloid_love]

can i just ask, why do people like atmosphere

[Shapan]

hes not bad, i liked the new album. there was lots of cool instrumentation in there considering it as a hip hop album. his lyrics can be good when hes not crying too much about his ex-gf.

gutter twins is the collaboration between greg dulli and mark lanegan. the kind of dark and gritty stuff you would expect from the two.

gentleman jesse sounds like 70's power pop

and nobunny is raw, doo wop influenced garage rock from a strange dude in a bunny mask.

obvious ramones influence there too.
