They don't even have a listing on AMG, but I think they're on Emusic. God is an Astronaut s/t More top tier instrumental stuff Sigur Ros Me Su m Eyrum Vi Spilum Endalaust Eddy Current Suppresion Ring - Primary Colours Old school garage rock - think GbV, think Nuggets, but most importantly, think Great Plains. Sharp songwriting. Emusic. Deerhunter Microcastle Overhyped, but I like this better than the last one Crystal Stilts Alight of Night Gettin my 80's fix Bob Mould - District Line I think I'm starting to get comfortable with this "electro rock" thing he's onto. Abe Vigoda - Skeleton Nick Cave - Dig Lazarus Dig (this was 2008, wasn't it?) Fuck Buttons - Street Horsing Los Campesions - Both! REM - Accelerate Disappointments Bauhaus - Go Away White Maybe its me, but boy this sounded...conventional. Destroyer - Trouble in Dreams I love Destroyer, but this is only eh. Raveonettes - Lust Lust Lust copy, copy, copy. Stuff I didn't hear enough of to rank yet Mogwai Kurt Vile Wire Residents Wedding Present Vivian Girls Parts & Labor The New Year Frightened Rabbit - -------- Chris Prew now on Facebook! ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V8 #4 *****************************
