Top 10 Albums of 2004 (so far)

[genocidal]

No particular order...

Madvillain - Madvillainy
Non Phixion - The Green CD
Pedro the Lion - Achilles Heel
Of Montreal - Satanic Panic in the Attic
Jolie Holland - Escondida
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
Gomez - Split the Difference
Deerhoof - Milk Man
De La Soul - The Grind Date
Gift of Gab - Fouth Dimensional Rocketships Going Up

Wow, I didn't know Pedro came out with a new album. I'm sure it's good. Also, any list that does not contain Interpol - Antics is not complete.

One of my best friends works on the Incubus tour--I went to see it a couple months ago, and Sparta was absolutely AWFUL.

Hmmm, two of my friends saw Sparta a week ago and said they were really good live. At the Drive-In is an amazing live act so I don't see how more than half of them could mess it up too bad.

i wish the unicorns would crank out some new noise
those boys have got some funky fresh poise

whoa there... i rhymed
go me
go you, too

(that's "you, also" not to be confused with the band u2 which sucks donkey testicles as of late. yes i said donkey testicles. doesn't that make you wretch? okay so it doesn't make me wretch either, but imagine if you were actually sucking on some donkey testicles or "ass balls" as i like to call them. you'd be wretching your guts out then. you know you would, tough guy.)

I saw the arcade fire on Saturday so I now gotta add them to my list.

[Verthanthi]

That show was insane, sleepy.

[Sleepy Weasel]

yeah it was kickass. Are you like in charge of who plays at these things or were you just helping out? Any other good concerts coming up?

[Verthanthi]

For that show, I was just helping out. But I'm part of fanclub, and I am going to start taking a more active role in who comes to play. I'm looking into Death From Above and Explosions in the Sky. Our big limiter is price, but if you have suggestions let me know, our spring schedule is wide open.

As for upcoming stuff:

Friday is this huge political themed thing. Reverend Billy and the Lost Film Festival are not music acts, but Oneida, Up The Empire, and From Bubble Gum to Sky will be playing later. I don't know Up the Empire, but both FBGTS and Oneida are pretty good. Nothing as spectacular as Arcade Fire.

Dec 3rd we have: Ted Leo/Rx,Matt Pond PA,Vague Angels coming. Again, not as good as Arcade Fire.

[Vykromond]

ted leo is fantastic (and i hear he's pretty great in concert too), but matt pond pa are EMBARASSINGLY HORRENDOUS

[Nickname]

I bought a bunch of cds the other day I still haven't listened to some (Elephant - WS yeah i know i'm behind, Uh white light by MG and another one i'm forgetting)

The Depeche Mode remix album dealy is ok, 3 cds is cool but some of the remix's are awful (and some are amazing) call it a 50/50 split?

The new jimym eat world album is what you'd expect, most of the songs sound pretty much the same, but thats cool.

I liked what i've heard of the Thornley one so far, very +

I got the Guns and Roses Greatest hits, it's preety cool but we've all heard them before.

I bought like 4 more, but i forget -- update it later.

[Sleepy Weasel]

Actually I do have a suggestion, Boxstep, my former highschool english teachers band from Pittsburgh. But seriously I htink they're quite good. Castromarx saw them a few years ago when they were opening for Godspeed you black emperor and he liked them too. Anyway he's mentioned wanting to play at Cornell a few times in the past, but it never came about. http://www.boxstepmusic.com
