Street_Dogs_Guy (November 27, 2008)

One of the consistantly great live bands out there right now. My favorite DKM stuff was with Mike McColgan anyway, so it made perfect sense that the Street Dogs would be just as good, if not better and to me, I'm right. I see them whenever I can, can't wait for the new album.

mikexdude has released some of his material on their vinyl.

David5345 (November 27, 2008)

Where is this?

24HourPriapism (November 27, 2008)

hm. i guess there's going to be a new one on landsdowne st, where avalon/axis/etc. used to be. fuck that whole area.

mattp330 (November 27, 2008)

yeah, thats my guess too. it sucks because now smaller bands don't have a place to play, where in the past they would have the axis. but on the other hand i guess its alright, because other places are getting good shows, like in alston and haverhill

24HourPriapism (November 27, 2008)

yeah, i never venture into that fucking no-man's land unless i have sox tickets in hand. and that's not very often. no big loss for me, but allston's always got some great shows, whether it's in a bar or somebody's house. same goes for cambridge.

i wonder how many people could fit into the laundry room in my apartment....hmm...

LookingForCorpses (November 27, 2008)

"Small" bands weren't really getting into Axis, anyway, at least local bands. Smaller national touring acts, sure. The place held almost 700. But, this house of blues has a moving stage and the room's going to go from like under 1000 to over 2000.

mattp330 (November 27, 2008)

thats actually pretty cool, i didn't know that about the stage

LookingForCorpses (November 28, 2008)

That's what I've read and heard anyway.

24HourPriapism (November 27, 2008)

i thought there already was one, about 10-15 years ago. it was in harvard square and folded not long after.

LookingForCorpses (November 27, 2008)

The original House of Blues was in Harvard Sq. It closed its doors about 4-5 years ago, give or take. It was pretty small. It was there for more than a decade.

24HourPriapism (November 27, 2008)

polo shirt-wearing brodudes who mostly listen to rap and think they're hardcore 100% irish just because their last name is flanagan and they kinda like that "shipping up to boston" song are stoked.

haha, I hate to stereotype, but I worked in a pharmacy in FL so everyone was from up north and I swear the boston people were the worst. Like, it is one thing to get mad and frustrated when your insurance isn't working. It is another thing to act like you want to smash my face into the counter when your insurance isn't working.

you obviously haven't listened to the shorebirds album

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

Maybe I'll give it another try.

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

Eh it reminds me too much of all those The _________ bands that were big like 5 years ago. Some vague garageyish retro feel that doesn't do anything for me.

MattRamone (November 27, 2008)

It's ok, I don't get it either. To me it sounds like Saves the Day covering Mineral.

baldsteve (November 27, 2008)

I'm going to slit your throat. That comparison is totally without merit.

Blows that Latterman shit out of the water. Unless you only like high-fives and stupid shit.

MattRamone (November 27, 2008)

Until they take their promo pics on a front porch wearing flannel, I can't back them.

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

speaking of, can someone recommend a good mellow smooth whiskey? money is, relatively speaking anyway, not an issue. Not that I'm rich but I'd rather get a smaller amount of something good than a barrel of swill.

Yeah, but give it a shot anyway. And there's always tomorrow...

ah...aaaaahhhhhh....this guy.

Canadian Club whiskey

SloaneDaley (November 27, 2008)

I gotta say this is still the funniest description I could think of applying to them, especially for someone who usually has such aptitude for music appreciation.

MattRamone (November 27, 2008)

I just don't hear it, I don't get all the fuss.

MattRamone (November 27, 2008)

I'm giving the album one more try tonight. After that I'm giving up.

baldsteve (November 27, 2008)

Its fucking great. I love that record. Its in my top 10. Gaslight, Off With Their Heads and The Riot Before are in there too

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

What about me? Which window's mine? I want to live there too.

baldsteve (November 27, 2008)

This Island Earth?

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

you win by virtue of being the only one willing to play my sick, twisted, sadistic little game. and because your answer was far cooler than the actual answer (mighty ducks).

Please allow 8-9 months for delivery.

MattRamone (November 27, 2008)

My list is going to be really fucking hard to make. It's probably gonna be 30 long. This has been such a great year for music.

shrapnel (November 27, 2008)

I thought GNV FLA was a disappointment

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

I think it tries hard to please and for me it succeeds. I'm not expecting another hello rockview anymore.

shrapnel (November 27, 2008)

most of it sounded like B-side material to me

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

I can see how you could come away with that impression. I think they deliberately tried to simplify the structure and writing and whatnot to try to recapture the "older" sound. It sortof falls prey to that 'fauxthentic- trying to recapture the past' curse. Still, not entirely. There are a few genuinely good moments, and the production pops a lot more than iwtoc or b&b. And that LTJ "life is shit but it will be okay cause this song is so goddamn catchy how could it be any other way?" sound had me 100% hook, line and sinker the first time I heard Losing Streak, so any halfway decent approximation has me by default. I wouldn't expect it to be on many top tens.

shrapnel (November 27, 2008)

yeah you said it pretty well
it was nice to hear more ska and horns on it, but I would have actually liked to hear some more dueling vocals to go along with it, then I think it would have been a lot better

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

I hadn't thought of that specifically but now you say it, yeah, I totally agree. Would've given it more of that 'reaching for greatness' feel instead of just a 'satisfied with a decent less than jake album' feel.

shrapnel (November 27, 2008)

yeah it definitely would have given it a lot more punch, and the songs would stand up a lot better instead of sounding sort of "secondary" to their older stuff
cause literally almost every song on it is just one of them individually, but if they would have utilized their dueling vocals in the songs I think it could have possibly been great, and that's what I was hoping for but it didn't happen

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

and that's why you murdered all those people?

shrapnel (November 27, 2008)

well it was a combination of a lot of things, but that contributed to it

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

Did you like Anthem?

shrapnel (November 27, 2008)

not really, I mean I don't hate on it like some people, but a lot of it was annoyingly poppy, and then a bunch of people started jumping on their nuts because of that 'she's gonna break soon song", couldn't stand it

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

almost every time they pick a single I want to shake them. Or whoever is in charge of that sort of thing. Hmmm. I really liked it. Break Soon and Ghost are the only ones that cross over into annoyingly poppy for me. I think that version of Look What Happened with heather joining in the last chorus might be my favorite song ever.

shrapnel (November 27, 2008)

I know, most of the singles they release tend to be their worst songs ever
yeah Look What Happened is a good song to hear live

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

I sure am fond of whatever incorrect grammatical device I keep deploying with these '______' 's.

SierraNevada (November 27, 2008)

You forgot the riot before. How does everybody feel about bristle ridge? I still haven't heard it.

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

I like it heaps better than Feast or Famine.

SierraNevada (November 27, 2008)

Well I must check it out then.

MattRamone (November 27, 2008)

Riot Before is awesome. Bristle Ridge is a must own.

24HourPriapism (November 27, 2008)

oh fuck, i forgot about the riot before. fuck. good, but not great. definitely in the top 20, just not sure about top 10.

24HourPriapism (November 27, 2008)

1) sometimes things just disappear
2) from the bottom
3) annihilation time - III: tales from the ancient age
4) smoking popes - stay down
5) disfear - live the storm
6) good luck - into lake griffy
7) civil war
8) build & burn (points off for louisiana's insufferable 2 lines repeated over and over again)
9) new lexicon
10) the hold steady - stay positive

honorable mention: the '59 sound, okay? yeah i guess it was catchy.

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

I totally call jihad on the loved ones. It's a 'world gone mad/twilight zone' feeling. You guys all....really?..............Really? It totally strikes me as mallpunk in a beardpunk disguise. And not even particularly catchy mallpunk.

MattRamone (November 27, 2008)

This.

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

perhaps I should have said 'orgcore' in mallpunk disguise. Subgenre Disco Disaster for not-yet-recorded album of the year.

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

I guess that is too reminiscent of Panic!

24HourPriapism (November 27, 2008)

really? i thought a lot of it, at least stylistically was a positive progression from the last album, which was definitely more mallpunk disguised as orgcore.

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

this 'into lake griffy' intrigues me though.

24HourPriapism (November 27, 2008)

dante recommended it to me a couple months back when i asked about boy/girl vocals in bands. great stuff.

also i haven't heard Manchester yet. opinions?

baldsteve (November 27, 2008)

Depends on if you like country. I was hesitant. I kept trying and it wouldn't click. It finally did, and its great.

24HourPriapism (November 27, 2008)

i goddamn love country. i loved tim's demo, and i was alright about rivanna junction. but i'm a sucker for most of the recent suburban home releases, all the drag the river stuff, two cow garage, etc.

i'll pick it up this weekend.

baldsteve (November 27, 2008)

Reading that, you are going to eat that shit up.

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

when I asked him about boys/girls he made me look at dirty pictures :(

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

This just reminded me, in elementary school they were trying to teach us about the bad touch or whatever and they gave us these two spiderman comics that dealt with sexual abuse. Kinda eff'd now that I think about it.

we also drank milk from bags.

baldsteve (November 27, 2008)

Fun Bags?

24HourPriapism (November 27, 2008)

you canadians with your french fries and gravy....

MilesQToast (November 28, 2008)

no way man this was minnesota. eh close enough I guess. I swear we had milk in bags one year in florida in middle school too.

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

Also whoever mentioned Fleet Foxes the other day...one word, two syllables....'hell-a.' I'm a sucker for lush, dreamy, melancholy, poppy stuff, in the right doses. Anyone got anything else?

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

and don't say of montreal. Aside from a few songs he is a bit too much.

24HourPriapism (November 27, 2008)

i guess i'll be a tool and say the no age album wasn't too bad.

bolucce (November 27, 2008)

24HourPriapism (November 28, 2008)

i really need to get into jens lekman. every time i hear some halfway decent singer-songwritery type stuff on the radio this summer, i always made a note to stick around to hear who did it, and it was always jens lekman.

MilesQToast (November 27, 2008)

to briefly play the churlish devil's advocate, in giving birth you've condemned a living being to death, right? Should at least qualify for man 1, no? Actually, if you've gone the planned parenthood route, you've premeditated the whole thing.

Give em the chair.

At least the two high school kids messing around in the back seat aren't killing on purpose. That seems more like negligent homicide.
