You've been poised until I reached the last track, haven't you! :) Really enjoyed it. Like you say, there will be a lot more to enjoy the better I get to know the tracks too...

yup, that's him. he plays a moog with lots of other various electronic equipment...

I believe so. Norris, the guy I'm referring to, co-wrote tracks 4 and 10 for Cortney's album. He is also in Lambchop, which is probably part of the reason for the coLAB. He's in another band called the Lone Official as well...

Re: Martian rodents - I'm going in. Tamagnocchi is a fantastic track name!

Forgot to say how much I've enjoyed A Lazarus Taxon. It's like having old friends come to stay. For a very long time :)

That's a cool idea and all, but what's the point of running windows on a mac? It's not like I'm in love with Windows. I'm in love with all the hardware available for it :-)

Wait. I'm just kidding...I don't have $4,000 lying around :-)

A dual-boot windows/osx machine? Totally RAD. Where can I get one?

Not that I even put videos on there except the occasional one - need all that space for pure undiluted music!!

Ja, I'm a designer that prefers PCs because I tend to enjoy building my computers myself. If I could run MacOSx on my own hardware, I would. But I'm not spending 4x the amount of money just to run Apple hardware that I can't repair/upgrade myself :-)

It's very wonderful, I'm strongly considering having it surgically implanted.

In other news I have a lovely 60GB video iPod :-)

Don't talk to me about Macs right now! I am sat here at work ALONE at 6.30pm on Friday waiting for an ftp to go through before I can leave :-(

I don't think Anubis has the best luck w/ Macs. It seems that even his simple tasks end in tragedy :-(

Get a PC :-)

Ooh! Ooh! Excited! But I dare not access the iDisk from work, even just to look at what's on it - did that the other day and my Finder went into meltdown. Will report back in approx 3 hours :)

Sorry that list I sent you was a bit of a jumbled mess-I'll sort it out at the weekend! Anything look vaugely of interest?

I've got absolutely obscene amounts of all that stuff, if you ever want to dip a toe let me know. What do you think of Depeche Mode? - I was saying how Trans Am reminded me of them in parts, and your top Muse track 'Problematique' sounds EXACTLY like them!

Mmm, not really, sorry! The bass is too organic and groovy. Maybe more like New Order. And the chiming guitars are very Cure or Cocteau Twins

I liked T.A. a lot as well. Think I was definitely just in the wrong mood the first time with Futureworld.

i just found out that the guy that played keys w/ cortney tidwell last week is one of the two guys in hands off cuba. fun stuff.

Off to the gym. Hope your stressful day gets/got better.

Something terrible just happened! I walked into a clothes shop, heard the music and thought 'Ooh, Grandaddy!'. But it was COLDPLAY :-| I feel scarred. How's Labradford?

Hands off Cuba is playing the same venue as Cortney tomorrow night. I hope I can make it!

LOL! Thanks!

You're listening to Saint Etienne?! We're already weekly neighbours again, you don't need to try any harder! :)

hmm, 12.30.

Yeah that was MY holiday! Well, weekend anyway. Transchamps sounds good, I'm also interested in more Mouse On Mars if you think I'd like it. My copying tonight is all complete so get in there, go wild :)

hey, your shoutbox is pretty orange :-)

Ah, that would have been Niall then! You've both sent so many good things that I get confused sometimes. In fact I'm drowning in new music, it's marvellous!! La Brad is still copying but in the meantime, Are Tears In Your Eyes? - not any more because You Can Have It All!

Amorphous Androgynous also excellent, thanks, I am clever, I was thinking they sounded a bit like FSoL before I looked them up :)

Cool, YLT is in the middle of a long copy but they will be next. You're in for a treat!

PS Cudos for writing the second part of your shout before the first! Unlike me!!

Interesting thoughts on music always welcome in my shoutbox! You have a good point there, and you so have a journal entry out of this :) I like the comparison to postmodernism, which I am always drawn to. On the subject of post-rock in general, do you know/like one of my very favourite post-rock acts, [artist]Labradford[/artist]? You should, they're brilliant and it says BRAD in the middle!!

Yeah i went back to the titlebar scrobbler instead of the new Last fm player - good advice as always, ta!

Also really enjoying this Venetian Snares, on my first proper listen since playing it too quietly at work...

Well goth is VERY 80s so I think we are on the same lines. Also that electro influence, quite Depeche Mode. Lovely mixture.

Really good album. Post-rock with a, er, goth influence would you say?

It's a small panel of music industry bigwigs. Yeah it's televised but on an obscure channel that not many people watch. Always makes the headlines though. Usually they're criticised for picking something no-one has heard of - I would say that's the whole point!

I have got Trans Am's Liberation on - yum, it's good stuff.

It was those Arctic Monkeys. :-( Decent album, but a bit of a dull, predictable and populist choice for the prize I think.

i grabbed it, but haven't had a chance to really listen to it yet...maybe today...

Dammit guys! Are you ever going to let my little Timberlake fiasco go?

So I want to know why Mr. Timberlake had you up till all hours of the night! Inquiring minds want to know! Was he trying to bring something BACK?

it was awesome matey :]. a nice break away. back into my studying now though- knackering!

hello weekly neighbor. i didn't listen to much of anything last week compared to most weeks...

LOL!

I do have that very soothing album, yes - will put it up along with another, probably tomorrow night. I know, last week I was up till the early hours almost every night, it's all your fault :-)

Great, looking forward to it all :)
