Hello from Japan Your chart is very nice and 90s music taste is forever!

i jus saw the beautiful noise DOC and the fundraiser for it and omg did it blow my mind to see its content but to see that it probably wasn't going to raise enough breaks my heart. i don't even know what to say...

Your library is very nice!

Thank you :)

Hi, I'm inviting you to join the Game Theory Group - http://www.last.fm/group/Game+Theory

My last.fm player is very random but has excellent taste ;) Did I trigger a BJM listening party by any chance?!

mmm spc_eco takes me back to the good old oxy days... big time!

ohhh. yes, those tracks from "asleep in the back" are indeed awesome! gotta go find that now -- thank you!

also: how did i not know about "SPC ECO" until just now finding it on your profile?!? embarrassing...

wow! you've gone "elbow" crazy! after i heard "grounds for divorce" i bought "the seldom seen kid" absolutely certain it would rule my world. but somehow it didn't live up to my hopes. did i try the wrong album? what do you recommend?

i'm not sure if i messaged you correctly but i tried.

where can i hear 'heart dust' by cnadyafterlife?

took me a few listens, but i dig the new autolux now. that carla song at the end is a keeper. i recall that being a standout when i saw them play live last time and didn't recognize any of the new stuff... and please forgive the late night drunken shouts i'm always embarrassed to read over when i re-visit your page. (wonder twins? seriously?)

i'll give it another go... i saw them play the new stuff a couple times live, and even then wasn't fully convinced. that being said, i wasn't an immediate fan of the first album, but ended up being a super fan of it (wonder twin powers... activate! not really sure where i'm going with that), so perhaps it'll grow on me. nuts about chapterhouse, huh? i still don't actually have tickets to that thing, as a few months ago when it was announced, it seemed like a year off, but i need to hunker down as i'm afeared that mofo will sell out... i'm almost afraid to even go check.

'sup hasuf... you heard the new autolux? i'm sorta on the fence about it, and wanted an expert opinion :P

she was pretty chill... certainly didn't have any sort of rock star pretense. hope all is good with you. i see you got some pretty nice shows lined up for the near future. don't have tickets yet, but hopefully will get to see Pavement at the Hollywood Bowl in Sept. Would love to see them in Berkeley next week, but couldn't get my act together quickly enough.

Nice to see someone listening to Miranda Lee Richards (and I'm not surprised it's you, since you're always awesome :P)... saw her play live a while back in San Diego, in support of Neil Halstead, and she sat down at our table after her set and was super endearing and awesome, let us buy her drinks, and wanted to know where to grab breakfast food (at midnight), and I love her for it for ever and always.

Hey, just ripped 6 Trojan box sets myself (Singles, Rocksteady, Dub 1 & 2, Dub Rarities, and Lovers)...3 discs each...I didn't really process it all but I liked Singles the best.

hey man... just saw them play here last night. was a completely different experience from when i saw them all grumpy down in San Diego a few months back. they were really into it, and put on a great show. carla sang a new (at least i think it's new) song that was pretty amazing. i hope they get around to releasing their new album within the next 5 years :P

beatlemania is just about to take over my #1 spot. you're in mild danger at #8, i see... though 1k+ is going to be a hard number to unseat. still... that mono box is coming...

That's what I thought too when I saw your charts! A lot of good stuff on there :)

that guy is pretty impressive. i only recently found out about him, and coincidentally, it was from trying to find engineers videos on youtube. i'll have to peruse his repertoire a bit more.

You'll have to let me know how the show goes. I haven't picked up tix for the show out here yet. I saw them a few months back at a show in San Diego, and was really kind of let down. I'm not sure what the deal was, but the band seemed really surly and unpleased with the audience, so I ended up being kind of uncomfortable and unable to get into the music. They played a bunch of new stuff, which was kind of exciting, though...

Happy 4th, hasuf.

Hit and miss live...sometimes great, sometime unintelligible. I'll look to see if I can find something, but I don't really remember ever having any live stuff (maybe some open-air cassettes from early on).

I really am excited about the new Engineers. I pre-ordered to get some bonus CD when it comes out on the 29th. Everything that I've heard leads me to think it's going to be great! I'm such a dud with song names, I had to go check my catalogue to see why "Thrasher" reminded you of them... had there not been a track by that name, I really would've been confused, or would've just guessed that they were skaters or something :P

I was hoping that these would just be original versions stripped of some of the silly overproduction, but they sound like kind of shoddily recorded demos that leave me wanting for the old album verions. I always liked their noisier stuff too (in fact, there's a version of Satin Safe (inexplicably renamed 'Thrasher') on this new thing that isn't horrible... just sounds kind of like it was recorded on cassette or something). Never got to see those dudes play live either, though I did meet them at an in-store record signing at Aron's way back when... 18 years you say? That's frightening!

Thanks...Yeah, myself and Kevin K. are day jobbers now, but at least one of us is still going. The rhythm section joined Heartless Bastards after we hung it up (Erica was our bassist's girlfriend at the time) - that lasted until last year sometime, and now Kevin V. (drummer) is in a band from Dayton called "Lab Partners." Mike's probably doing something, but I'm not sure what.

'Sup mah friend? You hear about the "Whirlpool - The Original Recordings" by Chapterhouse that recently came out? It's not good, in my opinion... just wondering if anyone else had had a listen.

you're a total bro - thanks dude. managed to get myself a ticket!

How you been Joseph??! I haven't been around last.fm much lately, but just noticed you are going to see MBV soon! I'm extremely jealous, but unfortunately don't have the time or funds to go see them (would be a far trip to go to austin or denver for me). Well I hope it's a great show. If you remember to, please drop me a shout afterwards and let me know how it was. Peace out!

for realzies this time... i'm obligated to drag my ass down to san diego since i have will call tickets for other people in my name. glad to hear BJM was good. i can't imagine the humongous Nokia theater was the best place to see them out here, so i'm not regretting my cancellation of that show. enjoy the MBV show and please do let me know how it goes. later brutha.

Haha sorry I got overly enthusiastic there. I just remember whenever Schoolhouse Rock came on, I stopped everything I was doing...yeah, work's still keeping me from the nightlife...even worse now they'd laid off some people-asking for days off is a bitch. At least MBV are headed in to your area

Just stoppin' by to say hello. BJM tomorrow?! Nice. I punked out and bailed on seeing them open for Primal Scream last Monday. I'm always curious to hear how their shows go off. And MBV again, you lucky son of a gun...

Schoolhouse rock!!!!! All of the tunes/toons are awesome, (maybe "Verb! That's What's Happening" is my fave), but my fave all-time moment is the end of the Lolly Adverb song, when they go "Indubitably". I love that! I think all bands should end all their songs like that.

Sorry, I never noticed your shout! So a year later... you mean this: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/11429-forever-changes-collectors-edition/ - I got that! Oh and guess what! MBV is coming to Seattle in April!!! :D I won't miss them, and need to travel only about two miles :)

hey! tell me as an experienced shoegazer, is Swervedriver worth seeking for? cuz it's kinda hard to find in my country. btw i finally started scrobbling after 1.5 years of being registered)

Just got Darker My Love 2. Pretty solid, not a weak track...

Happy New Year, hasuf!

i dub thee friday dub day. mmmm. basss.

see, i can't find any sense in showing people what music i listen to. Besides, i get embarassed when they say "You're on that shit again" when i keep playing the same song for the whole day. And what the hell is that 30 sec preview? Who's gonna get hurt if I listen to THE song i've chosen - not the one on the radio?

You're a nice man. (Don't check my profile - it's empty. I use last.fm for browsing purposes only).

Back in the 80's there was a Two Tone movie called "Dance Craze". I think it was only released in the UK. It was mostly concert footage of The Beat, Madness, Bad Manners, Specials, The Bodysnatchers and The Selecter. I had the soundtrack album, and did buy a bad VHS dub years ago from an ad in Goldmine magazine (which I tossed later). Here's a taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0teIQ2fWB4 Also, have you seen this guy's channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/crelp74

Thanks for stopping by. I was actually inspired by your bio so I sat down and took the time to tell my own story.

I went to Daiso for Xmas presents for my 4 year old niece and got her a big bag of cute stuff for about $18! Score! Love "Ranking Full Stop". Have you heard the version from the Two Tone doc Dance Craze?

Thanks for adding me :) /K
