Wavves is like the logical middle child between Hospitals and No Age... maybe better melodies than Hospitals but noisier/punkier than no age. that's my imprssion thus far

hmmmmm.. my intrest has quadrupled with that description

if you want hear wavves, here's an out of print casette album

his new album is great. the last track is probably the best. definatly in my top 3 albums of the year so far.
but my favorite of his that ive heard is sunshrine. that song is so good its mindblowing. there are so many ideas and parts that mold so perfectly.
amazing

Yeah I like sunshrine the best as well.

I think so, too. He is the most talented of the "new wave" of fingerpickers. I have also had the possibility to talk to him when he came with Jozef van Wissem as Brethren of the free spirit to BCN and he is also a cool guy in person. My fave album of him is "O true Believers". Magic.

You all have convinced me to listen to his last album. I'm not lately in a instrumental-folk mood but it's definitely worth trying.

excellent, thanks wellcharge..

listening to the ponytail album. amazing. such a fun album. really really good.

no prob, i think it's a pretty good album personally

im liking it alright!

wow this is really really good. is it a 2008 release?
also the eat skull album is fantastic

if its 12 tracks, begins with Intro Goth and end with Teenage SUper Party then its the 2008 s/t album, yes

yeah thats it. really good

okay best album of the year is the new Experimental Dental School!

haha.

amazing album indeed.

I love the new Blood Stereo, "The Magnetic Headache", Nyoukis doesn't quit being awesome ever.

one of the best for sure....in my top 5 possibly...

experimental dental school were amazing live. way better live than on record. they lost a member.. the drummer.. so the keyboard player plays drums now. they played a few new songs. They were amazing.

I've only heard a handful of new albums this year... (I don't download and am very picky about what I buy)... and I've liked all of them.

Some of my purchased titles include reissues that are technically "new"... Mission of Burma, CCR, etc.... but I don't think they really count. There are also still a few that I'd like to catch up on.

Here's my list of new stuff I loved that is actually new.

LP
Brighter Than Creation's Dark - Drive-by Truckers
Offend Maggie - Deerhoof
To Survive - Joan as Police Woman
Third - Portishead
Santogold - Santogold
Smile - Boris
Jukebox - Cat Power

EP
Another World - Antony and the Johnsons
A Table Forgotten - Faun Fables

I still like "Jane Doe Loves Me", but its taken a big sideline to the huge amount of amazing records I've heard throughout the past four months.

I saw them open for Deerhood in Tucson last week, and yeah they were fucking great! I went to the one at Club Congress and both bands were surprisinly good, but the Dental School were particularly impressive, lots of energy and confidence.

Deerhood is kinda cool sounding.

haha, Deerhood.... as in, like deer genitalia?

You mean deerhooF don't you?
no?

i had a top ten records of 08, but i forgot them all. all i've been listening to lately is PIL's first edition and gorilla biscuits and now my mind is blank.

i'm probably the only one who thinks the new deerhood album, offend maggaggie, sucks.

^I don't think it sucks but it pails when listened to after any of the past three albums.

don't like any of their albums much, honestly.

i have really been smitten by igntaz III. its really really good.
i think my top 3 as of snow are the new james blackshaw new david grubbs and ignatz
oh and the new grouper is fantastic

offend maggie is pretty good i think.. not as good as runners four but better than friend... mind you a severe dose of the shits coupled with two arms falling off is better than friend opportunity.

Too right, that's defiently one of my faves so far.

yeah

Offend Maggie did nothing for me really after the initial couple listens

^^ excbloodyellent LP, nuff said
their best for me, amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing

Surprised no one's talking about the religious knives album that thurston produced. I think it's really good. I wasn't completely sold on them before, found most of their releases boring but could tell they had potential on "Resin", for example... but I am digging this one a lot more than anything else they've put out.

check my list

Haha, I meant no one else.

havent heard it yet. i really like remains, i liked their other stuff that ive heard, but a lot less

I'm still updating my list every few weeks. I'll post the definitive list sometime in about a month from now.
