Since I am obsessing right now, and people in the Fave Albums of the Moment thread seem to like them, this is a 30-song collection of my favorite They Might Be Giants songs that I own. CLICK ON IT. IT'S BLOODY AWESOME. (The first six tracks from the 1994 album John Henry; the last four from their newest 2007 album The Else. Everything in the middle from their Dial-A-Song: 20 Years of They Might Be Giants compilation.) |

 Fo Merro rapidshare.com/files/64963236/BARR_-_Summary.rar.htmlBARR - Summary last.fm wiki: "Brendan Fowler (born 24 March in Berkeley, California) is a musician, best known for his work under the moniker BARR, based in Los Angeles. He is a regular performer at The Smell, a DIY music venue. He also co-runs Doggpony Records and is a co-editor of ANP (Artist Network Program) Quarterly - a Los Angeles based arts and culture publication funded by RVCA. He has recently played at the seminal New York performance space, The FUCKING fdfghjkKITCHEn, and has been featured in Artforum Magazine. In 2006 Fowler curated a show at David Kordansky gallery in Los Angeles. New England Roses, a band consisting of Fowler, Sarah Shapiro, and Le Tigre's JD Samson, released their debut, Face Time With Son, in 2005. His new electronic-folk-pop band, Car Clutch, had their debut performance in fall of 2006. BARR, which originally consisted of only Brendan Fowler and his iPod, toured with Snowsuit* and Hawnay Troof in 2005 and Xiu Xiu in 2006. After releasing Summary in 2007, Fowler formed a full band with bassist Corey Dieckman, pianist Ethan Swan, and Kevin Shea on drums, touring with 5RC labelmate Marnie Stern." This is a really awesome album, yep. I love this. I'm not sure why. Thankyou. |

 www.mediafire.com/?e9wzbmcznvb"Spot -- SST's house producer who manned the boards for Zen Arcade and New Day Rising -- didn't produce Flip Your Wig, Hüsker Dü's second album of 1985, and the difference is immediately noticeable. Everything on Flip Your Wig is cleaner and brighter than on its two immediate predecessors, which is appropriate, considering that Bob Mould and Grant Hart have only increased their debt to '60s pop. The hooks and melodies are on the surface, right from the kick-start call-and-response of the title track. On paper, it might sound as if Hüsker Dü have watered down their hardcore ideals, but it doesn't play that way. Flip Your Wig is pop played as punk, as if this is the only time these songs could ever be heard. Which means Hart's love song "Green Eyes" and Mould's pure pop single "Makes No Sense at All" are delivered with the same rage and passion as Mould's blistering "Divide and Conquer" and Hart's "Keep Hanging On," or the pair of surging, neo-psychedelic and noise-wracked instrumentals that close the album. Flip Your Wig would be a remarkable record on its own terms, but the fact that it followed New Day Rising by a matter of months and Zen Arcade by just over a year is simply astonishing." |

It took me an awful long time to enjoy them, I thought they were extremely obnoxious for most of this year but recently they've become rather endearing.

Life Without Buildings aren't actually as spazzy and mental as I remember them.

I think the girl from Life Without Buildings sounds like an anime character when they sort of growl/shout. The live songs are the most irritating things I've ever heard but the record isn't so bad.

Wee bit of E-begging here but, does anyone have anything by The Pastals? Or any C86, Sarah type stuff really.. My Field Mice love has finally made me succumb to this sound.
