the live band sounds like its going to be really shitty, but i'll check out the album at least. also, there's technically been a black light burns thread created already.... although it was made ages ago, so i dont blame you for not posting in it. http://www.nearfantastica.com/bored/index....ack+light+burns

hahahaa... for now, at least.

vocals/guitar: aaron turner (isis, old man gloom) vocals/bass: caleb scofield (cave in, zozobra, old man gloom) lead guitar: kim thayil (soundgarden) more guitar: kurt ballou (converge) drums: dave lombardo (slayer) ambience and noise: justin broadrick (godflesh, jesu, final) this thread makes my inner music nerd horny.

haaha i knew it.

most of lotga??? how can someone hate most of an album by an artist they are apparently a big fan of? i suppose its possible but its not cool...not cool! ...the same way an artist themselves can hate an entire body of work that they have made (matt and his hate-on for the audio of being, up until recently). you can be critical of an artist's work while still being a big fan. do fans of guns n roses have to like the spaghetti incident simply because their name is branded on it? heck no.

ok, im giving them another listen, and i think i like them more. im only four songs in, but they're all great.

at the same time, with matt, its very difficult to distinguish between personal and political, because they're so closely related...

except the fact that they're noisy.

i've only heard the new album once all the way through so far, so i can't really say that im a huge fan or anything, but they're alright.

"Pilgrimage" by NIN. "Parachutes" by Pearl Jam most of LOTGA, and "In Love With a Bad Idea" by Matthew Good.

is trent wearing a shemagh or is it just a part of that pretentious "i wear scarves indoors" trend?

this is horrible news. Katie Holmes was great. Maggie Gylenhaal creeps me out cuz she looks so much like her brother. But i loved Batman Begins. Possibly the best super-hero comic-to-movie translation ever, maybe even better than Spider-Man. Joker should have been played by Cripsin Glover. That dude is already crazy! And he wouldn't even need any make-up, he looks just like the joker! Plus he's a cool actor. crispin glover pic i could see crispin glover being a good joker... but in that picture, he sortof reminds me of the riddler a bit more. i think he'd make for an interesting villain, regardless of who he played. as for the gyllenhaal/holmes debate... i didnt mind katie as rachel dawes... but i think maggie will bring a lot more... talent to the role. i think she's a much better actress. its interesting that they will have a reprising love-interest for batman, which is a first. no longer will he be like james bond, thank god. im just overtly excited at the fact that theres an actual talented cast here, and that all the new roles are played by just as talented individuals. with other comic book flicks, you always have to worry about how things will end up. take spiderman for instance. kirsten dunst? blech. tobey mcguire? blech.

i really like that song. after one listen, i'd say the album was pretty good.

donnie darko is high on my list. i think crash is overrated. way to portray racism in a way that doesn't allow for any grey area whatsoever. another oscar nominated film last year, brokeback mountain is REALLY overrated. its a beautiful picture, but the story was horrible and not what it was cracked up to be at all. i dont think stanley kubrick is overrated. the cinematography in his films alone make them worth watching. in barry lyndon for instance, theres a scene where the only light they used was candlelight! thats nuts! he needed to use a special telephoto lens from nasa to do it. theres absolutely no depth of field in the shot, but the fact that they used just candles and no alternative light sources is amazing. that whole film looks really cool, even if it is ass boring.

Mastodon - "Colony of Birchmen"

the new feist album has leaked. so far so good.

Zozobra - "The Blessing"

i bet he sung to saturnine the entire time.

i used to have a few good mashups on here. i have two favorites though, a mashup of "god put a smile on your face" by coldplay and "love you to" by the beatles. the second is called "pure freaky" and is a mashup of "pure morning" by placebo and that freaky song by missy eliot that i dont know the actual name of. you know what im talking about. it works really well. if i can find either, i will definitely share em.

puscifer has been around for quite some time now. not counting their stint on mr. show, puscifer dates back to roughly four years ago.

tv on the radio muse interpol my morning jacket the dears isis these are all bands who i see having staying power, in the senses of both content as well as maintaining a strong fanbase.

whatever happened to letting music speak for itself?

props. anyone heard the third song to be leaked, "me, im not"???

i have. its alright. if you're someone who really cares about lyrics, then id suggest giving him a listen, but otherwise, i dont think the mountain goats are all that special.

theres so much time in between each album that they're vastly different from one another, so yeah i definitely agree that its difficult to say one is better than the other. with other artists, its more clear because they release things more regularly.
