POX/WHATNEXT: ROYAL TRIZZUX

transmaniacon VS 1-2-3

i've been jamming "thank you" real hard lately.

(ask me tomorrow and it'll be different, but those songs all are awesome)

Don't have my collection handy to reference, the last three would probably be different if I jogged my memory.

new hex record slazzays

yeah it is really cool! been listening to that a lot.

it's great to have on in one room while you shuffle around the house, you can still hear the guitar backbeats & then just drift in once in a while to check in w/whatever nmh's talkin about

?! didn't even know there was a new one! has he changed direction from Earth Junk? I thought that one was okay but it isn't really something I want to listen to all that much - if he was trying to make a mexican polka record he shoulda made it with more oomph

Meanwhile, The Avlanches just announced via Twitter that they did a song with Jennifer Herrema entitled "The Stepkids".

yeah it came kinda hot on the heels of his audiobook, which oddly enough prob got more press; new LP 'wilson semiconductors', basically a duo record?, four long (prob 10 min) songs that zig-zag around a lot against a guitar backbeat. occasional shredding interludes. i like more than earth junk i think because it has a really great guitar-bop all the way through, the songs are real good, & neil's singing's real nice, but they also works as nice guitar jams, cf my "you can putt putt around the house to it" endorsement. the mexican polka influence is still totally there - there was a nice interview (either on the FMU blog or in bombd) where he talked about how living in NM has p much changed his palette & musical interests. & so it's spiky dancy hex. idk, i love so many of their lps, i came back to you can't beat tomorrow recently, loved a bunch of different songs on it from the ones i used to love. they're just such a great loose group.

also this is the first time i have been cursing DC for not including download codes, i would usually rather just grab rips anyway rather than fuss with codes, but seemingly no enterprising bloggers/slskers have pirated it yet.

bomb, rather

yeah what is up with Drag City not doing that...

I really did not dig All Night Fox or Earth Junk so maybe I would like this more.

it's p different from both, feel like it is a roll of the dice which you are gonna like rather than nec a taste thing.

all night fox is awesome though so i guess stfu also, i guess. in my head activity risks was number one in a hundred countries for a lot of the last decade
