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.

Joe 11.28.07 / 4am

You listen to wayyyy more music than I do, sir. Wherever do you find the time?

tommyslax 11.28.07 / 12pm

it’s just on whenever i study or do nothing, which is most of the time.

Lauren 11.28.07 / 3pm

What Joe said!

ps. Thanks to whoever posted the link to that Chicago neighborhood poster. I bought it for my office, it looks great. Plus, they gave me a $5 discount off the price because Ukrainian Village is misspelled.(ukranian)

LB2 11.28.07 / 5pm

Tom, mentioned a few of mine already so I’ll just add on a few others. I can’t even remember half the stuff I liked at the beginning of the year so this is a half-assed addition.

Beirut – The Flying Club Cup
Feist – Let it Die
Jaime T – Panic Prevention
Pela – Anytown Graffiti

Dana 11.28.07 / 5pm

It sold out Dana.

Dana 11.28.07 / 6pm
