Islands JUNE 2nd @ LSA $12

So, this is the band I’ve been most excited to see live in maybe, oh – the past year. Arm’s Way is nothing short of a fucking great album.

I plan on taking a bunch of photos and (if I can swing it) jumping up on stage ala the Matt & Kim show – it’d help if I had some crazy dancers backing me up – we must have distractions – who’s in?

I can be there at 10 or so. What’s that restaurant around the corner we met at prior to the Okkervil show?

Whatcha' been listening to?

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: Lauren - Dana, if you want to drive up separately, we could look into jeep theft and go a little earlier than Matt and Dona. We'd still get to snowboard/hang-out together for a few hours. More $on gas tho.
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.
