Took me a couple of tries to download my shows, but I am listening to them now. In an effort to keep a lot of you from pulling out your hair, PLEASE read the “Store Help” information offered on the Dischord website. Windows wouldn’t let me extract the files, even after I manually marked them safe. I went through WinZip and one other application without success before I read on the Dischord site that Windows users will likely have to get FLYzip. They link you to everything you need, and it is free.
Also, I wasn’t prompted to the download. I had to click through “shipped” on “My Account” to actually download manually.
I am sure they are working through these issues, what a ridiculous undertaking on their part.
The shows I got sound unbelievable.
You just Proved My Hypothesis.
Oh, and the whole Ben & Zooey thing? There was certainly No Joy in Mudville. There must have been a Lack of Color in that relationship.
Not too impressed… Thom needs to get back to writing real music. Why is he trying to be a 40 year old club kid? What is it with these Brits and their clubs?
No. Well, maybe yeah, but not like this. Their first two albums were good. Really good. This stuff is just junk food. I agree with Sproat.
Sorry to piss off the guy above who does not like them, but that Youth Lagoon video is pretty intense. I really like their sound… Damn.
That video made me like Win about 100 times more… until the last minute when he came off as a total douche. I wish I had not seen the video.
Am I the only one who thinks this guy is just a giant douche?
I am not trying to be an ass; I really like this band. They look AWFUL. Are they all on heroin or something? Ryan and Creighton have both dropped like half their body weight, and the rest of the guys look fvcking skeletal. Ben normally has some pipes, but he sounded pretty rough here. Hard song to play live, but still.
These guys need a little time off to get their shit together.
I don’t know… I pretty much hate Corgan at this point, but Drown was one of those songs that is on the soundtrack to my adolescence.
It came out when I was in 7th grade. I remember listening to it on repeat the night of my first kiss. Kind of cheesy, I know, but damn if that adolescence ain’t some powerful shit.
I think you are reaching.
Really? I mean, why? Why did this need to be made? He adds nothing to the song and just sounds like he is trying to be Thom. I can understand doing this at a STP show or something, but to record and sell it is just ridiculous.
Well, and his mole switches sides a few times… That said, the video is beautiful and those things do not matter. The only reason i even noticed the shirt was b/c I was thinking about how itchy that sweater would be on bare skin.
Am I the only one who thinks that video is nothing more than incoherent babbling? I am sure there are MAJOR disconnects going on over there, but there is no excuse for rioting and senseless damage. Any empathy outsiders might have had is going to be quickly forgotten. Look at the unforgivable things happening. Anyone who supports these riots is a sociopath.
Howe is leading the interviewer more than she is leading him.
With regard to the indie labels… Even if they are insured, this will still be a huge expense. Sickening.
Am I the only one who thinks Bjork is ridiculously attractive? I mean, not when she is all costumed up, but when you see her in everyday life.
Hold on, read the article. He has a point. He lists the positives that come with Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes. He calls Helplessness Blues his favorite album of the year. The article is more of a puff piece than anything, and it is written that way. It isn’t criticism in the true sense of the word.
The comments, on the other hand, scare me.
All that said, there is plenty of amazing rock and roll out there. Mogwai continues to slay, and he conveniently left out My Morning Jacket.
I was a little confused when I first heard the last track, but it has grown on me. I streamed it a few times over last night at the office and it grew on me. This is a beautiful album.
Cool. Kind of like all of the cool people who hadn’t heard of Arcade Fire after the Grammys, right? Yeah.
This is in LA in May, right? So isn’t it 80+ degrees outside? What is with the wool sweater and hat? Just curious…
Did the guy who filmed this get his ass kicked afterward? Honestly, I was expecting much worse. Except for their ridiculous costumes, these guys were just high and having fun. Film guy is just mad b/c he looks like J Mascis.
“This makes 20 years of Lollapalooza”
Wow that makes me feel ancient. I remember my friend’s older brother taking a group of us to the 1993 shows. I was front row for Tool until I got nailed in the back of the head and decided to step out of the pit. Dinosaur Jr. was the highlight of ’93 in my opinion. I think I was 12 or 13 that year.
So great. I am by no means asking this to point out any shortcoming, but didn’t Robin start standing on the last tour? Is he back to sitting? Either way they freaking crank, I was just curious.
Are you kidding me? Holy crap… and I am not a fanboy. I am freaking 32 years old and I don’t think I have even commented on this site more than 2 or 3 times. This is incredible. I just thought it needed it be said. These guys are other worldly.
I am not trying to be mean or anything, but Julian looks like death, Jessica. If that is all the Devil could give him, he got ripped off.
By “ridiculous” I mean awesome. That was meant as a compliment…
