Love these guys, and this record. Anybody else get a strong Dead Milkmen vibe from PC?
helluva write-up. guess i'm gonna have to check out your music now.
I really shouldn't have to say this in 2013, but AdBlock is your friend
The name of Rustie's album is Glass Swords, and it came out in 2011.
A pretty glaring omission
Can't wait for these guys to assault my earholes again
I would switch #1 and #2 - but it's a minor quibble. The 4 album Rod/Faces run of Every Picture Tells a Story > Nod> Never a Dull Moment > Ooh La La is one of my favorites in rock n roll.
great pick for album of the week. one album which deserved to be included in the notables is Haiku Salut's impressive debut, Tricolore. An all-female instrumental trio from England, they offer up the clumsy self-description of "Baroque-Pop-Folktronic-Neo-Classical-Something-Or-Other" - but I can't do any better. The album is filled with uplifting, complex-yet-accessible compositions perfect for springtime. And it's available on Spotify.
Blue Monday is the greatest song of the 80s IMO.
I was a bit iffy about Breakers at first, mainly because of how produced the "oooh"s sound in comparison to the vocal harmonies on GM. Then I saw this acoustic performance of it & was won over. http://youtu.be/NaUo38gHwm8
Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele Presents... Blue & Cream: The Wally Era
i can't wait for Stereogum's Top 10 list of Chuck Berry songs, omitting Johnny B. Goode.
That's a great idea! Too bad your suggestion is a biography, not a documentary. Wait, I've got one! "End of the Century - The Story of the Ramones"
I don't get it. Has Chris not heard what's going on in underground bass music in the UK? Or is he just taking an easy potshot at Skrillex/Deadmau5/Swedish House Mafia etc?
I think you overrated 29 and underrated Rock n Roll, but otherwise pretty spot-on.
It looks like a silhouette profile of Mokey from Fraggle Rock
"In White’s catalog, the album it most resembles is probably the White Stripes’ piano-and-marimba affair Get Behind Me Satan." Consolers of the Lonely seems a stronger touch-point.
And mine should be included on the list of "15 ways not to catch your typing mistakes"
No, but your post should should be included on the list of "15 grammar rules not to follow"
because DVS is so dreamy.
Wesley Morgan Paraham, meet Burial
Travis Stewart = hotsauce
" And I didn’t have anything more than a couple of beers in my system." Wuss
if Congratulations had rock n roll balls. But yeah, there's def a strong MGMT vibe in the vocals.
hell yes, thank you
mile-high crickets up in this beyatch
Also, Snake Rattle Rattle Snake is Stereogummy enough to warrant mention here: http://www.daytrotter.com/#!/concert/snake-rattle-rattle-snake/20054540-111968
Jambands are still huge here, not sure why this article uses the past-tense. We also have one of the largest & oldest dubstep/bassy midetempo scenes in the country, and have produced one of the biggest breakthrough artists in this realm with Pretty Lights. And the underground techno scene here is thriving, thanks to promoters like Mahesh Presents/Afterhours Anonymous
It's impressive that people on this thread immediately identified other artists whose influence can be heard on "Big Mouth"...artists who, as it turned out, were involved in the creation of said track. Some might be tempted to focus on the snarky element of the responses, but not I. I say, good work Stereogum commenters - you know your shit!
Not so much an impression as an extension - Switch from Major Lazer co-produced the track w/ Buraka Som Sistema.
I for one think it's great
yeah, house & techno are well represented on this lineup
Did Mikal Cronin make any of the major lists? Definitely my favorite debut album of 2011.
