i like this like i like wes anderson movies. they're always the same, yet i keep finding myself going back...
I gotta agree - Bmore is hot right now. How's the Celebration full-length?
Yep, completely unspectacular and spectacular at the same time.
Well, they have two -- the first came out in late 2005 on 4AD, did you hear that one? I like it a lot, although it is more "produced" than most people in town were hoping. Their live shows were killing people all through 2005, we're talking people actually spinning into incoherent frenzies of ecstatic pleasure, and the record is a great collection of songs that conveys some, but not all, of that feeling.
For people outside of town, I think that record wasn't quite the calling card it could have been -- but when people see them live, they get it.
Their next one is due out in a week or so. Haven't heard it yet. Judging from a recent live shows, their new songs are a lot prettier, and have a slow build that owes something to vintage R+B.
Edit - Oh - some bands mentioned are from bmore - i see
Love that track. I thought the album was real real dope!

I gotta admit - I only know her from the TVotR song "Staring at the sun" - and that alone has me intrigued.
Personally, I much prefer The Celebration, both live and on record.
All three members of The Celebration are amazing, but it's soulstrut so let me single out the drummer as fucking amazing.
Am I the only one who will ride for Marc Ribot?

Signed to Atlantic- could be huge.

I liked a lot of his late 80s early 90s material but haven't kept up. Based on your recommending that and cosigning on Rainbow, I'm curious. What does the Ribot sound like?
- spidey
Hmm, sounds interesting -- plus I see he's playing w/ Trevor Dunn, who I like. I'll check it out.
Sort of Stooges-esque.
And yeah, !!! rocks my world. Out Hud contains several of the same members, and has a similar no wave sound to !!!'s first album.
Giallos Flame - Live From Dunwich
This is library nerd rock in the form of italian horror flicks (Goblin, Osanna).

Some reason i thought this band was an import. This is the same band that has 3 people (gurrl singer) an organ occasionaly, um... and they get pretty tear-the-walls-down? I think the band I'm familiar with tour with deerhoof a while back... They from Baltimore?
WTF?
