Okay, now THIS is a ray of hope!

 

New Metallica track, My Apocolypse:

The best thing about this for me is the fact that James didn't croon it up.

This is what I've been hoping for from them!

The Titus Andronicus album from the Spring is 45 minutes of must listen. If you like The Replacements, Clash and Arcade Fire its pretty much all three thrown into one giant mound of amazing.

Is there any way to scrape the Arcade Fire portion off that mound?

I can just tell you it sounds like the Pogues instead. Which it does.

I was going to say I don't hear the Arcade Fire in them, I suppose maybe in another band that uses a lot of instruments? I guess but, yeah, replacements pogues, clash-sure, (i hear a little GBV too)

Fear and Loathing in Mahwah NJ reminds me a lot of Rebellion (Lies).

I relistened to that. I can see it in the drums.

They'll be at Casbah in SD also. Might make the drive and catch a Pads game while I'm there.

I got in a car accident and missed my only chance to see Titus Andronicus. I might catch them in Champaign with Dan Deacon but man, thats some serious monies.

Dan Deacon and Titus Andronicus is an expensive show?

Well.. Black Mountain, Times New Viking and Yo La Tengo too. Plus it's like 300 miles away.

It's only been a year

It seems like atleast 2 years.I wonder what the time frame in between Aligator and Boxer was.

where do you go to school?

Southern Illinois, Carbondale. Wilco plays in a parking lot here once every 5 years or so, but thats about all we get (except BB King this fall).

Been really into Motion City Soundtrack lately. Catchy s***, and great lyrics.... Saw them at Warped Tour and they sounded amazing. Justin's a funny frontman too...

What venues should I check out in San Fran? I'll be there for a few days soon.

oh my god, LMB has a Hold Steady signature too.

Maybe its all the time in Brooklyn, but the new T.I. track that leaked this weekend - "Swagger Like Us" is a-mazing.

Another top-notch Kanye West production.
