New Cd’s I’ve Listened To.

November 8, 2008

The Felice Brothers:  I saw them live last month and didn’t really have an opinion, they steadily gained play and become one of my favorite bands.  The singer reminds me sometimes very much of Bobby D.

The Smashing Pumpkings : Earphoria.  One of my favorite bands, one of the worst cd’s I’ve ever heard.  It’s definately low budget and raw, and most things I enjoy raw.  This is just horrid though.

 

Ray Lamntongtangfddkfjgsd however you spell his name.  Can’t stand it, forced airy voice just makes me feel he’s trying far too hard to make a certain vocal noise and he still can’t achieve it, over-rated to me for sure. A lot of people like him.

Bonnie Prince Billy’s ‘lie down in the light’.  Brilliant CD, all the way through.  This and the self titled Felice Brothers CD are my top 2 of the year by far.

The Gleam 2:  Apparently I’m not a true fan to the Avett Brothers.  This cd’s OK.  But if an Avett Brothers CD is just OK, they are underperforming.  They’re amazing both live and not.  I won’t skip this CD if it comes up but it will never be one I turn to on purpose.

DeerHunter-Microcastle:  An interesting cd that i’ve been listening to online.  Very good background music with a different take on a not so different style.

The Creepy Weird Neighbor Is Into Halloween?

November 1, 2008

     So we have this neighbor who sits in his house looking out his blinds or through his front door slightly cracked open.  He does this 365 days a year and Robin and I think he wont the lottery or got a huge settlement from being hit by a bus or something. He doesn’t work, he’s always there and he is always wearing flip flops with socks.  Anyways, the guy is completely decked out for Halloween.  He has the caution tape and the lights-a-blaring spider-webs and pumpkins.  If you come by my house i’d reckon you stay clear from mr old creepy hammer-pants, i wouldn’t trust him further than i can spit.
