SUPER

too good !

Ahahaha, TMBG is coming to Sydney. About ten years too late for my enthusiasm for them, unfortunately...

My 'Songs about Trepanation' playlist is too short.

Mountain Goooooooooats. He made another nice thing.

Yeah! fun. are indeed playing. But you're right; I'm not a big fan... :\

What you are listening to right now is... NOTHING.

Yep, that's my dad. I must say, John Fogerty still has the skills. All of them. btw, Hello from Hong Kong!

Hmm, I think he's sufficiently wry to listen to Sparks. He's like 48 wry, at least.

So, it turns out Paolo Conte is 1) still alive, 2) making albums! http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/oct/14/polo-conte-nelson-cd-review

Have you ever had perfect music compatibility with someone? When you do, you have to marry them.

Guh, I just noticed that last.fm _does_ notify you of posts! Right under your ... ungodly, terrifying number of plays, where it says 'N shouts', there appears the legend '(new!)'.

Why doesn't last.fm notify me of posts in any way? Lazy!

Yag! Sorry about missing your message. Yeah, that sounds pretty awesome. Also check out this spirited cover: http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-mountain-goats-cover-jawbreaker,57069/

Well, I spotted the message 2 months later! Win! So, Owen Pallett is pretty cool, hey.

Yeah, so I gathered. Not a great fan of the song, but at least he made it his own.

This: Destroyer – Grief Point (ft. Loscil) <- was very different... uncomfortably personal. To be honest, I kind of wish he'd leave the sprawling soundscapes alone...

Yeah, they're rather good, and from Sydney, too! And The National are coming to Sydney in January. Excited...

Hell yeah, The National!

Shugo Tokumaru has a new (April-ish) album! It's the first album I've listened to where I didn't even realise the album had finished and repeated from the start. And this was kind of a good thing!

What a life I lead in the spring... (LIES, It's frigging cold.)

So much AWESOME Rachmaninov! But yeah, that's really one 45 minute piece, not 25 tiny ones.

Probably has a bit to do with about half the bands I listed initially being ones you and/or Daniel introduced me to...

Man, it's like 12.30 here, and we are both listening to music. That is crazy. AAH why are you part of the Sydney group you don't even live here anymore sob sob sob

Also, how is Scotsville and all that junk?!

It's a Brendan! It's been so long since I've been on here. Sorry it took so long to acceptorise you!

And Yusuf as well! Holy crap!

Oh snap oh snap oh snap! http://www.last.fm/event/1276599+Joanna+Newsom+at+Opera+House+on+18+January+2010

I am glad I have a good set of concert earplugs.

I gotta set aside a whole 17 minutes of my day first.

Hooray for 100,000!

James - White Boy + Iron & Wine - Boy With A Coin = James Beam - White Boy With A Coin

That's something I remember wanting. Incidentally, 'James' has an interesting manner of delivery.

Open up your, open up your, open up your throat and let the all of that time, all of that time, all of that time go.

I believe that is a common complaint about the song :D

SUPER! (Since when?)

... I feel it necessary to point out to you that Dan Bejar is weird.

Witness the following hilarious caption to a Flickr photo of a New Pornographers concert: 'dan bejar's job in the new pornographers is apparently to wander onstage with a glass of wine, sing a song, and then wander away again until it's time for the next dan-fronted song.'

"An ordinary piano. And if we go to the top of the scale we find this, the Boîte Diabolique, which houses the 19 forbidden notes."

I wasn't aware of that! But I noticed that they are supporting Wilco in a few shows.

Wojit's lost its limbs!

Have you never come across the vastness of pavement? I am sorry to say, Disneyland was _excellent_.

Nice charts!

Björk tomorrow! Woo! Meanwhile, Arcade Fire tonight, for free! And then Big Day Out on Friday, not for free! Yeah!

Hi Neighbour - good taste, even if you're on the other end of the world!

MAH!

You there! Hand over thine goods amicably, or I shall be be forced to resort to violence! Pretty please?
