Black Mountain & DS Vacation ’07

hutt hutt

ok – lauren and i were talking last night at the Black Mountain show. Yeah – and Amber Webber’s voice is unreal in concert. Maybe I’m biased as last night was the best sound I’ve heard at the bottle since that constantines show. but I got weak knees. She makes Feist sound like a whiner. The rest of the band was super tight. They’re a hell of a show. Lots of stuff from the new album – it feels heavier – more sabbath than velvet underground.

Go. See. Them. Live.

How about this for a vacation – we go up to see Joe’s Portland and instead of skiing, we take a train up to Vancouver for a day or two.

By: Dana - Issues: If we were to steal the Jeep, we should probably get it tonight and leave from the burbs in the morning. I would be interested in stopping in Madison on the way back and perhaps catching some early din din with friends. Matt are we being total jerks and overrunning your trip?

By: jj - What happened to the 'I'm listening to this' crap? Tom turned me onto the new Islands. The second half of the album is good in an old destroyer sort of way. The first half is more poppy, but still good. Also - the new Spiritualized is lovey-dovey-druggy good.

By: Joe - I'm enjoying the Blind Pilot album.

By: Joe - Wye Oak - Civilian's pretty good.

By: LB2 - I'm not the biggest fan of night skiing either so if you two get a vehicle I'm in.

By: martellion - I'm enjoying the new animal collective and robyn hitchcock. anybody else interested in his show on april 18th @ epiphany?

By: Matty H - You're being a jerk. Your sisters aren't, though. No, it's all good. Dona was the one who messed up all the time and stuff. She's trying to see if she can move her brunch to Sunday so we might be able to leave in the AM now. It sounds like you guys might want to drive separate regardless?

By: tommyslax - STOP TEMPTING GRAVITY!

By: tommyslax - Sunset - The Glowing City is tops for me right now. The new Stereolab, Chemical Chords, has been on repeat for a while too.

By: tommyslax - Seriously, every last one of you should find this record. The Glowing City. by {{{Sunset}}} It is fantastic. Here's a couple reviews: http://www.austinsound.net/2008/08/14/sunset-the-glowing-city-autobus/ http://tinymixtapes.com/Sunset,6667 It's hard to compare it to anything, it has a bit of a Bowie/Kinks vibe, and whoever plays guitar definitely steals a few tricks from Jonny Greenwood, but it's really jammed with tons of engaging and multi-faceted parts and hooks galore. It's long, but there's not much wasted movement or repetition. It's exactly what a rock record should be, and will probably be my #1 at the end of the year.

As you all know, I’m obsessed with Vancouver so you need not even ask.

Bringing the hump international = awesomeness.

Black Mountain sounded so good. The sound was intense and the best I’ve heard at the bottle in awhile. They rocked so hard that I didn’t even mind the dirty hippies all around me.

Oh, and they said that we beat Denver as the best audience of the tour so far.

Matty H 10.04.07 / 4pm

I went and saw The Blow on Monday and she was pretty terrible. However, the openers Videohippos and High Places were both really fantastic. Highly recommended. I’m going to see Beruit tonight, if any of ya’ll will be out there text me up (773-991-1091).

I didn’t get to go on my originally planned Vancouver trip last summer, so if you cats do do that, I’d be interested.

Joe 10.04.07 / 7pm

Oh fuck, they played Denver? Fuckfuckfuckfuck. I saw Pink Mountaintops in Asheville, which was good but not mind-blowing. Fuck.

LB2 10.05.07 / 4pm

I saw The Blow at Sasquatch and was VERY unimpressed as well!

Dana 10.06.07 / 11am

Both Denver and Portland sound like great ideas, so I will go with whichever one works out better for us logistically!

Joe 10.07.07 / 5pm

Hey, just to make sure, did everyone get the password to the password-protected post?

tommyslax 10.07.07 / 5pm

yes.

Matty H 10.16.07 / 4pm

To update my earlier post in this thread: This band called High Places is playing on the 20th at the AV-aerie in support of Ladyfest. I saw them open for the Blow and were really weird in a good way. Come on out!

also, the gal in the band sorta looks like Dana
