| Yay, France
will be saying goodbye tomorrow, for 2 weeks at least. It's been amazing, but so looking forward to Christmas. Also, it's snowing like shit here. Here are 7 new gets with my first impressions on them. | | 1 |  | At The Drive-In
Relationship Of Command
One of the best first listens I remember, I'll be the hyena, seriously though, amazing stuff. | | 2 |  | Finch
Say Hello To Sunshine
Never would have found this through Sputnik; a mate recommended it me a long time ago and I realised I wanted it. It rules. First song is fucking excellent. | | 3 |  | The Antlers
Hospice
I feel 4.5s and 5s are overrating it since there are a couple of songs that drag but the better stuff is just astounding, I mean Kettering, Bear, Two and Wake. | | 4 |  | Yndi Halda
Enjoy Eternal Bliss
Breathtaking. | | 5 |  | Phoenix
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
This is really good stuff. Fences is annoying and the last 2 tracks are unspectacular but everything else is really engaging pop-rock. | | 6 |  | Animal Collective
Fall Be Kind
Lol, this is not a 5. It's about as enjoyable as MPP. That makes it a 3.5. Starting to think I might not like new Animal Collective, which is weird since I only started listening to them this year. | | 7 |  | Various Artists (Indie)
Dark Was The Night
Still need to listennnnnnnnnnnnnn. | |
Knott-
12.18.09 | getting torrents and working internet has been awesome, recs appreciated | theacademy
12.18.09 | did you buy RATM 4 xmas? | Knott-
12.18.09 | haha i tried, but im doing it on saturday when im in the uk. they dont let you buy it from loads of plazces if ur in france. | theacademy
12.18.09 | yea i wish i could help from abroad. especially since i learned the money is going to charity. if they don't win it it will be a sad day for human culture
(btw i only asked b.c ur the only user i know is from the u.k.) | Skimaskcheck
12.18.09 | yay 1, 3 and 4.
hopefully 3 will grow on you, it clicked for me on a late night walk | theacademy
12.18.09 | also track 10 on number 2 = my favorite | Knott-
12.18.09 | i can picture 3 'clicking'. sucks to keep comparing it to Bon Iver but that didn't make sense until suddenly it did. | theacademy
12.18.09 | yes chambered, u daaa man | AggravatedYeti
12.18.09 | yea pretty much feel the same as you about 3 and about my first listen of 'Relationship of Command'
'Hospice' is great and all, it just kinda sacrifices song-crafting for concept sometimes, I feel. Like assuming the 'heavy' theme will compensate for the boring ass instrumentation. | ZeroTolerance
12.18.09 | Just a note, it's custom in France to give a German your house if they ask for it. | Knott-
12.18.09 | ftr im leaving france tomorrow and going back to the uk haha | ZeroTolerance
12.18.09 | True, then you have nothing to worry about! | klap
12.18.09 | mmm snow. when i flew into orlando three days ago it was a chilly 82 degrees around 6 in the evening | AggravatedYeti
12.19.09 | ^ ahhh I miss my chilly 80 degree Southern US nights. But I get snow tomorrow too so...fuck the durrty, yay New England!
| BallsToTheWall
12.19.09 | Speaking of France, new Alcest album in January. So amped for this. |
