Matthew Sweet, Gresham Flyers, Thou, California Oranges, and Minisnap all have Amazon listings but no sound samples. Amazon has no listing for any 2008 releases from Sleep Out or Miranda Sound. << All of these, as it happens, are available on eMusic, so samples are available there. It is perfectly possible to listen to samples on eMusic without being logged in (or having an account), Individual album pages won't have a search box (and neither will the landing pages) but artist pages do. So. e.g., from here http://www.emusic.com/artist/Sleep-Out-MP3-Download/11594172.html you can click on "Not Even Dust" to check out the samples (y'all really should trust me on this one) but you have a search box that will get you to everything else. and >> "Homage" to anyone on *Earth*? "Feed a two-week-old punk band coffee beans for their third week then force gunpoint improvisations in an oil refinery surrounding by ELF antennas," say I. << Well, I do think the Minutemen and Husker Du were from Earth , now that you mention it. But that's a marvelously accurate description. In their own words "This is our tribute to our favorite loud and fast bands, a cram session of ideas snatched from the Melvins, Man is the Bastard, Melt Banana, and Napalm Death, as well as 80s indie/punk songsmiths like Mission of Burma, Husker Du, Minutemen and The Wipers." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 07:34:18 -0500 From: Steve Schiavo Subject: Re: [loud-fans] At the half, so sayeth the Voice From The Cloud On Jul 23, 2008, at 9:52 PM, Andrew Hamlin wrote: > Matthew Sweet A sure purchase for me, along with the new Mercury Rev. - - Steve __________ I can't resist an anime that includes a small, cute, violence prone girl with a scythe. - John ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:40:33 -0400 From: "Dave Walker" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] At the half, so sayeth the Voice From The Cloud I've been caning 2562's _Aerial_, but it's a little too genre for this list, I think.
