Hi! It's JP. I only just realised you can rename your profile instead of going through all the trouble of creating a new one. Considering i pointlessly spent a valuable ten seconds on this *new* internet personality i'll stick with it.

A new list to celebrate my stupidity.

the cure although i doubt itll be good
my bloody valentine
the postal service should be interesting if it happens...

^Looking forward to all those too. I just heard a Cure song from the new album on the radio, and ... I doubt it will be good too

edit: just remembered i'm not looking forward to deerhunter cause i've, uh, heard it, you should be though

And what about THE WRENS? Their Meadowlands is now my second favourite album of the decade so far (behind only Turn On the Bright Lights). Wikipedia says they work 'hard, but slowly' on their new one... Sounds funny.

I thought it got delayed because Charles Bissell went on tour with Okkervil River?

A year or so ago one of the Wrens denied the rumor that the album was half-done by saying that ABSOLUTELY NOTHING had been done on the new album. Sounds to me like they basically they took 4 years off. I mean, I love The Meadowlands as much as anyone, but I'm not sure you can even call the Wrens a band anymore. I mean, bands have to make albums right? They're about as much of a band as My Bloody Valentine is.

My mate went to see them at the Glasgow Barrowlands a couple of weeks back, and said it was amazing. They were handing out free ear plugs apparently, but he didn't wear any. The last half hour was a wall of noise designed to destabilise the foundations of the building (his words), and he claims his ears are still buzzing. Sounds shit. I never really liked them...

See, now that makes no sense to me. Why not just turn the volume down? Doesn't that have the same effect as wearing earplugs only without the annoyance of having to wear earplugs?

Ha ha! That's exactly what I said to him.

Okkervil River has leaked. I don't think the quality is great though judging by the file size.

The idea of a Postal Service record being released this year has been rubbished by various musical sources and media outlets (the internet isn't working today so i'm having trouble locating an easily decipherable link). I'm starting to get the feeling no one ever bothers to read any music-related news.

Apparently the 15-minute note is transcendent at MBV shows. First you're annoyed, then angry, then slowly you accept it, and then finally you're blissful.

Well, i never liked the idea of such exhilatating noise... Blissful or not blissful, it can be simply harmful for the health.

Gotta be better for you than Animal Collective.

remember, it took the wrens 3 years to mix their last album...
