I've been getting into Eric B and Rakim's "Paid in Full." Pretty good old school hip hop.

I've heard Voice Brother and Sister but it just wasn't doin' it for me.

This caught my eye/ear when Nesey posted about it somewhere. Nice stuff.

I once gave a presentation at my school on the medicinal use of marijuana. I'm so conflicted as to if I should use it in my CV. Seems hardly respectable to the medical community in the way Dateline...

I was just thinking this morning that City Lights by Charlie Chaplin is probably the best movie ever made. If for no other reason than the fact that it's over 80 years old and as good as ever.

Just taking a small slice of the internet to say that this record is really, really, good. Yes, it deserves two "really's."

I never would have forked over a few meager bucks to buy this record if...

I kind of like the rivalries that are fueled by blind hatred, namely the Mets and Yankees. I mean, they aren't even in the same division (allthough Bud Selig seems intent on destroying the AL and NL...

College is worth it to learn a trade or profession. Throwing money into a liberal arts degree that teaches little to no skills seems pretty pointless to me. Gotta have goals beyond a degree,

Yeah, my favorite part as well.

Almost certainly there is no meaning behind it. It was probably written by Jeff and is simply fun with words. Personally, I love this stuff but I enjoyed the...

neutralmilkhotel.net now redirects to walkingwallofwords. Kind of sad to see it go. Making way for news and fish and meaningful messages I suppose. Excited to see what it is.

It's not that I ever considered GM crops a problem it's that I never considered the backlash against GM crops such a problem.

Love is the predominant virtue in Catholic teaching. Definitely not fire and brimstone. I think that's more of a television thing.

I don't think those making Lenten sacrifices should focus on "giving something up." One of the most valuable things my local priest would encourage is to do something. In my case, I decided to pray...

Sadly, yes. Reminds me of when I was supposed to see The Music Tapes and A Hawk and A Hacksaw only to have Hurricane Irene ruin everything. There was no show. Not cool.

So who's touring with Julian this time around? Just Robbie and Albert Birney?

Yeah I found out about this too late. I know I'm just stating the obvious but Julian is the nicest guy on Earth.

A Metallica t-shirt. Yes! Metallica rules!

I for one can't wait to read Julian Koster meets the Harlem Globe Trotters.

So is the original Neutral Milk website. I wouldn't attach any deep meaning to it. Domain simply expired. And to be honest, why even keep an OTC website? There are a lot of other web outlets for that...

This gave me a good laugh. So true, but I wouldn't consider it a fault. It establishes a theme of memories and by-gone times that is prevalent in all his music. That's one of the reasons I love his...

Listen to it Here: http://neseygallons.bandcamp.com/
Pretty excited to give it a spin.

I love 1st Imaginary Symphony. It's weird and different. However, "Pulled Out to Sea" is tough to listen to. I started with 2nd Imaginary for Clouds and Tornadoes. And seeing them live will make...

Just an FYI. It's called Hillbilly Heroin because of the proliferation of the problem in the Appalachian region. Often abusers of the meds do get it through a pharmacy and it is dirt cheap. It's also...

C'mon Jeremy Barnes is the Keith Moon of the collective. Eric Harris is fantastic however his contributions with electronics outshine his percussion.

I like the new album a lot. The first one was decent but nothing exciting. Tame Impala's latest is really great to me though. Such a nice update of psychedelic music and the work of Todd Rundgren.

Covers. This one features our friend Heather McIntosh

I was going to post this one as well but it seems we are limited to posting ONE VIDEO AT A TIME!...

That "Dreamies" album JamisonM recommended is really cool. Nice find. Never would have known of its existence.

Spotify has most of them. Just sign up for the free membership.

Got the e.p. sent to my e-mail inbox today.

Quinilones are super common prescriptions and in general, are very safe. This kind of stuff happens less than .1% of the time. Drugs are only on the market if the benefit outweighs the risk.

Thanks for updating us. The Townhall is a better place when you post.

Looking forward to the new music. Eyes Ago is still a really great album that I listen to regularly. It's enough to put out...

This is incredibly sad news. If I can be some affected from the loss of someone I've known mostly through recordings and passing encounters, I can only imagine how those who know and love Bill Doss...

No more Euro! And the Dollar continues its run as world reserve currency.

Not much said other than that they're in Toronto working on the next album.

Robert Schneider likes everything. There seem to be no boundaries to his positivity and enthusiasm. Super nice guy. That being said, I'm your typical jerk and I thought it was garbage.

Another garbage article in which the journalist impresses his ideas on Elephant 6 rather than letting E6 represent what it really is. And again, another loser who just wants pop songs and not the...

BOTTOM LINE
U.S.-Suppress the competition and continue imperialism.
Israel- Maintain power and national security as well as gain international support by opposing the "world's bad guy"

I thought "Pink Moon" was really bland and boring the first time. That all changed with just the second listen. Now I love it. Good stuff.

That's great news. Those shows are some of the best I've gone to if not the best.

I really wish I bought tickets. I wouldn't have passed up a chance for a second show had I known the Music Tapes were opening.

I would love to hear the old songs played live. They're undeniably better than the new stuff. Obviously the songs have a different significance to the creator that the listener cannot relate to. It's...

Great interview. Thanks for posting.

I wasn't impressed but I love the concept. I think the original is a great record so it's a real tall order to top it. Seniors and Juniors is the best of any Marshmallow Coast/M.Coast work in my...

I was listening to "Jumping Fences" on the bus and had the same thought. Clearly, that song is the height of psychedelic pop.

That was super cool. What a great cover too! It was quite the privilege to attend the show. That man has a million dollar voice.

I'm going. I'll be the jerk who ruins it for everyone. Can't wait to meet you!

I must be getting old because today's music has no appeal to me. As far as I'm concerned, "Purim's Shadows" was the only really nice thing to come out this year. I was happy to have Tom Vek back as...

This is great! Thanks for sharing. I'm really digging that 60s cover show.

This video would bre great but the camera work is just awful. I get sick watching the screen sway back and forth like a drunk. Great setting and music though.

I was hanging out with Rick Ross and Death From Above 1979 and drinking free booze. 2 hour wait to get into the Vice Launch Party was worth it.

The Music Tapes did a great song with that as the backing on the caroling tour. Really well suited to some bowed banjo. Sounds like it would be cool with a string section as well but I suppose most...

I really don''t get it. Bearsville sounds like a cool venue. I've heard good things about shows there. This is where WDST broadcasts from (a fairly mediocre adult alternative station) and it was once...

It seems this Thomas fellow you mentioned also plays in The Spinto Band.

This is a really embarrassing joke. It's not funny or clever. This is just plain stupid.

Me. Cannot wait.

I've been waiting to see the Music Tapes and A Hawk and a Hacksaw all summer and now the show has been canceled. To think I sat through Deer Tick's set only for this disappointment. At least my house...

Oh no. There might not be an Albany, NY by the time AHAAHS gets there. The hurricane might just ruin my plans.

A vote for Ron Paul = a vote for Revolution kill them all. I don't think he'd disagree.

I like the framed album art of the Dukes of Stratosphere in that one Facebook photo. Just another sign that "California Demise" was inspired by "Shiny Cage."

In case you didn't see this already, Scott Spillane, Laura Carter and Andrew Reiger will be the opening act. As if you needed any more reason to get excited.

This reminds me. Shiny Cage by Dukes of Stratosphere sounds a WHOLE lot like OTC's California Demise. If you give it a listen you'll realize this immediately. I love the Dukes but California demise...

Dude this question is like which is better a chocolate cake or a punch in the face? Watching Family Guy is about as pleasurable as having nails driven into one's eyes.

I need to express some rage here. I bought some Geary's pale ale at Beer World, my favorite store. FORMERLY my favorite store. This 6 pack cost 12 dollars and tasted like liquid pennies. Avoid this...

Oh yes. Yet another of the modern era's greatest problems solved by an internet petition.

Right here
Search and ye shall find. Or just buy the records as I do.

I'd like to buy this one. "Old Familiar Scene" was my first introduction to Elf Power.

Now with Titus Andronicus and Deer Tick. This is going to be a great event. I've seen Titus Andronicus and they flat out rocked.

Oh hey look. The official websites been updated with tour dates. OTC is slowly coming back to life.

How about all the lyrics?

SO THE DAY LONG
All will be well again.
All will be well again.

Oh cool. The Music Tapes are sharing the bill for LPR. Shaping up to be amazing.

I'm so angry I missed the Hudson show! Info like this is why I'm on here and I just missed a show that was a 20 minute drive from me! Hope all interested have better luck.
Dates are here:

Well, it is one of the cheapest options for eating out but let's not forget that Taco Bell is a company that has been sued for selling beef that contains about 35% meat.

Is that a Jeff Mangum collage guitar on the cover? Sure looks like the one Orange Twin has on its website.

I was just thinking about how much I dislike Psycho Candy. Crummy record. I guess it means something to others though.

One of the few songs I really like by that band.

It's cheaper on Itunes than Amazon. It also comes with a digital booklet, I'm not sure you get that with Amazon or 7digital (cheapest option.) Sadly, this album is dedicated in the memory of Rudolph,...

Yeah, only a hipster would use a web service from one of the Earth's biggest companies. Lame. I have a terrible browser situation. Chrome is super corrupted and Explorer is terrible. Oh if only I...

I thought Bill Doss wrote "Can You Feel It." I can't find my album though, I think my girlfriend has it.

Exciting news for the Capital Region! AHAAHS and The Music Tapes will play at St. Joseph's in downtown Albany,NY as part of The Restoration Funstival. Sharing the bill are a slew of local acts...

Home page of Allmusic.com prominently features the band in a blog post. Seems they have shared a few of their favorite songs for bike riding. Read it here:...

I'm still waiting to love that album but I still hate it. Maybe it will click one day. Or else it's just an album that has a lame sound and dull melodies.

Thinking about getting MLB 2K11 for some summertime gaming. Anybody care to share opinions about it before I drop 45 big ones?

So are The Minders and The Ladybug Transistor! So far away though. Definitely not going but this is a real nice lineup. Better than Mountain Jam or whatever we get upstate.

Coming from a dude who played on Black Foliage this must mean something. I will give it a listen in time.

Typical New Jersey.

I'd love to go to the Brooklyn stop but I presently seem to be stuck in the Albany region. Guess I'll have to see the Captain Squeeze show instead.

It takes a real man to mock someone in her own forum. Kindly point me to the Harnk forum.

Does anyone have the tour dates? I can't find them.

Perhaps i will get this. I'm just starting to get into "The Albemarle Sound." By the way, that album and "Argyle Hair" is $5.00 to download at Amazon.

Yes, it's fine. The only request he's made to my knowledge is that caroling tapes be posted after the tour is over. Thank you for posting this. I've never heard that one song. It may not have been...
