Remember these guys?


Warms my heart. Except when he doesn't rhyme "outrageous" with "contagious"... that makes me want to stab something.

Love how he rhymes "drunk uncle" with "Garfunkle."

Too bad the way he talks makes my ears bleed.

Archers of Loaf reunite

I totally listened to Icky Mettle 1000 times during high school.

Well, at a show with the band The Love Language, the guys reunited to play a set together for the first time in 13 years.



YESSS.

Music Nerd Fact of the Day

Iron Maiden's song "The Trooper" was actually based off of this poem.

It all makes sense now.

This is suprisingly funny video of the day

I never thought Fred Armisen was funny, except for when he did the Bartman.

After that beginning song, I'm sold. Sounds like West Philly.

This Man Man/Islands/Modest Mouse/Mikey Cera superband ain't bad...

Post-rock goodness

I was just rocking out to some post-rocky kinda stuff last night with my roommate. And today I keep getting all these messages from this band on Facebook. I went to college with the one guy. Turns out, it's pretty darn good. Really tech. Worth spacing out to.

Creepy robot voice movie theme of the day

That's my motivational system:


Click to embiggen

Randomly generated album cover


1 - Go to wikipedia and hit random. The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

...2 - Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
......
3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”. Third picture no matter what ...it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together.

5 - Post it with this text in the "caption" and TAG the friends you want to join in

So excited to see Tron...

Perhaps this weekend?

New Decemberists album streaming on NPR

Snag it here.

Skimming through it now...
Not sure what to think...
First couple of songs are boring...
Kinda want some metal prog parts a la "The Tane" and "Crane Wife"...
"Rox in the Box" sounds aight, yo...
Some sort of mining song...
Makes me want to dig for gold and drink moonshine...
Starting to think that "Hazards of Love" was better...
"Down by the Water" seems to be their 'hit single'...
Already over "Down by the Water"...
They really are channelling their inner Billy Ray Cyrus with ""All Arise!"...
"This is why we fight" might save this album...
NOOOO they use the emo chord progression! Immediately mega-cheesy...
Why is this song so long?...
Last song is sooooo boring...
I wonder how many times Colin Meloy used the term "Rattle your bones" in his career...
I was really expecting some crazy build and a mega climax or something...

To quote the dad dude from Inception, "DISAPPOINTED"

Goddamnit, Decemberists...

This is kinda interesting...

So this exists....





The metal gods glare down from Valhalla unfavorably.
