Well and truly seconded! Songs like that and Wonderful World are what made people start referring to R&B music as "Soul".

The sad thing is I don't listen to him enough.

"Unfair", "Stereo", "You're Killing Me"!
don't make me "Haunt You Down" you "Sordid Little Filly", I'll "Stub my Toe", "Stop Breathing" and put "The Hexx" on thou if you don't hook me up with that "Recorder Grot"!
seriously, I didn't even need to get the expanded editions of SLANTED AND ENCHANTED, CROOKED RAIN(x's 2) and WOWEE ZOWEE 'cuz I had all those tracks already.
I've seen Pavement 5 x's and Malkmus owes me!

burlivesleftnut wrote:Really have to thank you guys for the suggestion of both Black Mountain and Malkmus. Both are good albums, but both are a little jam band-y for my to really get into them. But a lot of tracks ended up with high ratings, so both bands might make a jump as I listen further.
Keepcoolbutcare wrote:gotta admit I'm a bit surprised you dug Malkmus at all, as he's, at best, an acquired taste. I love him to death, and while I was hoping the addition of Weiss on drums would lead to a glorious return to his lo-fi preppy scuzz grunge punk of early Pavement, his settling into classic/psych rock in his middle-age suits him fairly well.
And lyrically, he still has it in sleestacks...
Album of the month for me though is that Black Mountain, who I'm going to get to see again next week - if I can peep them through the marijuana fog.
Stoner rock indeed!

Clipse/Re-Up Gang, "We Got if For Cheap Vol. III" has leaked all over the intertubes, ditto Killer Mike's "Ghetto Extraordinary", the new Cadence Weapon, and, yeah, a new single/club stomper from Jay-Z and some new, up 'n coming producer called Timbaland (that guy's gonna be HUGE!).
Called "Ain't I", it'll be unavoidably ubiquitous soon enough, so tire of it early by listening to it now!
oh yeah, UPdated, bitches!

But really, their shit is just fucking great. You should purchase both albums, you will not be disappointed.

All the Mars Volta are basically doing now is whacking off to themselves. I think they need the guys from sparta back to start reigning them in and making music that's experimental but actually fun to listen to ala At The Drive-In.

Am I a visionary if I thought these guys were self-indulgent nutsacks in the first place?
Yes?
Thanks.

i have that, haven't given it a spin yet, but since you're double dog daring me to with that Pavement reference, I guess I'll have to now.

You are just a visionary in general; it has nothing to do with The Mars Volta.
For example, you know that I am a fucking spaz, without ever having to directly listen to my histrionics. Fuck, I say that makes you a fucking soothsayer as well.

Vampire Weekend is not punk. It's Paul Simon pop with a bit of a snarky edge that is all.
I hate the Times New Viking as well. There could be some good moments on the cd but youd never know it.
