the forest & the trees - the forest & the trees (2010)
buy / listen / myspace
i you think this next paragraph is actually about this album you better just skip to the one after it if you want the point of all this text... pretend it's a choose your own adventure book... just skip to the best choice...
you've chosen misadventure number one i see... anyways... so, i came across this on a bandcamp player on someone who friended the pork records' myspace page who has since become my pre-coffee and cigarette venting post of the day... usually i do a little venting on a public rep firm trying to sell me on terrible band's music or a a random piece of spam when to their surprise actually gets a mouthful of mindless rambling about how they shouldn't rip off poor defenseless idiots looking for a way out after i pretend i'm actually interestied in their marketing scheme... or sometimes a good friend will be having a little b.s. session with me get a large text spill but today i feel bad and good at the same time because it was a complete stranger who has no clue how i am and was just hunting for good music like i do... it was nice to chat, but see what happens now is that i spill a bunch of text on here too instead of just getting to the point and my coffee and cigarette... thanks myspace girl who's odd text display name i didn't understand for this find... i had to go hunt for it as soon as possible and post it up... on track 8 now going for the home stretch and i can already tell the rest third of this album is going to be just as great as the first run... too bad it's not pre-selling for vinyl... i have this new anti-cd mentality since digital media has become cheapened and more advanced - both destroying and strengthening the music industry at the same time... anyways, listen to the streamer above... this is a really good debut for this guy/gal pairup... one of my favorite things yet today, which is actually saying a lot, because if you think i post a lot... that's only what i like enough to listen to from beginning to end... my garbage can is equally full and somedays even more full than what goes in my keepers pile... agggghhhh... mindless rambling again! focus.
ok.
coffee.
cigarette.
listen to the sound the forest and the trees make.
it's good.
real good...
enough that i'm going to listen to it twice in a row.
later.

p.s. don't read this... listen to the album. sheesh.
another "as is" upload...
been really busy today getting a lot of things in order and doing a lot of personal stuff and housework so i haven't had much time to make any posts or convert music and up it like i normally do for what i've been listening to so i'm just going to upload everything into the "as is" folder in the file pile and tag it as they finish uploading since i'm still busy doing things... i shut down slsk and vuze to make sure it gets there good while i'm away so here is what'll be new in that folder shortly and will be there when it gets there... they're uploading in alphabetically...

kammerflimmer kollektief - mäander (1999)
buy
listen
myspace
bandsite
i have no clue how to describe the kammerflimmer kollektief... maybe german post-krautrock semi-electro acid-jazz groove... completely original and amazing... this one's from their beginnings before all the yokonoish incoherent warble-woman started appearing all the time... one of my favorites... wish i could come across a good copy on vinyl... always wanted one since i first heard this.

i've always liked everything shugo's done even though i have no clue what he's singing... all i know is he likes to sing the words "ka ka" too.

imdb / moviesite / buy / torrentz
sometimes i have nothing to watch and just pick a random axxo torrent i haven't watched yet that isn't some shitty action drugs 'n' guns flick... why i didn't shut this off right away confuses me... the first bit is just plain annoying and is mainly the intended point to emphasize the plot, but for some reason i decided to finish the film and may have actually liked it by the end... or maybe i'm just an old perv who finds some females in school girl costumes and foreign accents to be extremely cute.
quick but long-winded summary: annoying rich stuck-up self-centered and conceited spoiled-little-bitch stubborn pain-in-the-ass#1 goes to boarding school for being an annoying rich stuck-up self-centered and conceited spoiled-little-bitch stubborn pain-in-the-ass. annoying rich stuck-up self-centered and conceited spoiled-little-bitch stubborn pain-in-the-ass#1 instantly has arch enemy status with annoying rich stuck-up self-centered and conceited spoiled-little-bitch stubborn pain-in-the-ass#2... annoying rich stuck-up self-centered and conceited spoiled-little-bitch stubborn pain-in-the-ass#1 becomes a decent human being that her dead mother would be proud of and annoying rich stuck-up self-centered and conceited spoiled-little-bitch stubborn pain-in-the-ass#2 remains in the role of annoying rich stuck-up self-centered and conceited spoiled-little-bitch stubborn pain-in-the-ass#2 learning nothing from how she loses in life by being the new annoying rich stuck-up self-centered and conceited spoiled-little-bitch stubborn pain-in-the-ass#1. there's a little love story and female bonding and a cheesy dress up montage... that's about it. this movie is perfect to show an annoying stuck-up self-centered and conceited spoiled-little-bitch stubborn-pain-in-the-ass if you have one for a daughter, sister or neice and feel they should learn to be human... just tell them, "i picked this especially for you" and if they don't get the point after watching it... there's always boarding school.

ghost bees - tasseomancy (2k9)
soto - soto e.p. (2k7)
eptry
listen
myspace
bandsite
this is really, really good... it's an ep by some other people and oto so they put it out as soto. i'll probably put up an oto ep in a bit... there're some really beautiful songs sung in a foreign tongue other than my own (may be japanese or cantonese or something similar) which may be a good thing if i don't know the words because the only thing i think i heard that registered in my mental-vocabulary was when he sang "ka ka"... if it's a song about baby poop, it's better i didn't know.
kite flying society - the aviary (2010)
buy / listen / myspace / bandsite
i don't waste money on digital downloads if i don't get a physical product with it... if the little book in the picture came with the download and a vinyl or a cd-r or even a cassette tape, i'd definitely buy one... i don't like doing web rips so just stream on the little player or go to their bandcamp if you want a little listen... nothing in the file pile... they do offer a five dollar screened t-shirt for 29 dollars with an album download or two for a limited time... but if i ever buy a 29 dollar t-shirt it better have twenty-four dollars sewn to it or at least two lps and not some easily deletable files. boo guys, boo! the album's fucking great though. props.
i think i have an old ep from a while ago i may throw up later if i find out where it is.

try
listen
myspace
i really like this guy's songwriting style and simple and sensible honesty and always have ever since i heard the first few lines broadcasting from his first jaydashkay album... it just feels good. i hate comparisons but like blenders sometimes... let's throw daniel johnston, bright eyes, jeff tweedy and the andrew jackson jihad on tranquilizers in and see what we get. you should definitely listen to "cigarettes and vodka"... woah-aw-oh... it's probably my favorite... i love the girl that sounds like she's singing through a telephone in the chorus... a future classic in my book.

another side-project from the woods camp. "silver clouds" may just be my new theme song as the rest of this album and the rest of the woods camp collection play the soundtrack to my life. i'm not sure if it's a depressing film or one with a heartfelt and positive ending... all i know is people were still crying when the credits started rolling but the one thing they'll remember the most was all the good music that played throughout.

as is and whenever it gets there....
today's been a long day of busrides and hiking and soon to be mowing... so instead of doing a bunch of individual posts... i'm throwing a folder in the file pile (www.mediafire.com/sharingisnotacrime - for those who don't know about it yet) called "as is"... and it'll be slowly getting filled up with all the great music i listened to on my adventures today... if you've noticed i usually file things with all the first letters from the post titles minus all the small words usually and an e for ep or a 7e and so on... so since i won't have time to label everything in the "as is" folder for a while, i am going to leave the uploader running while i mow the lawn... look in the "as is" folder for these files in you want'em... i'm doing no tagging or converting until later so they'll mostly be vo, 320s or whatever i got them as... but they'll be there soon and when they get there and that is about it.
the "as is" files
hood - the year of occasional lull (1998) ep
white stripes - white stripes (1999) ...the first one.
bonnie prince billy - black dissimulation (2k) 7"
evan miller - s/t ep

coco rosie - lemonade (2010) 7"
tom waits - hold on (2k) ep
june of 44 - in the fishtank
black keys - brothers (2010)... i'll set this one to upload first since many are impatiently leeching it off my slsk which i'm about to crash with my vuze and all other programs to keep this upload strong... so sorry if i cut you off... that's why i sent out a notice to give you another option if needed... i'm not sure why anyone that is not on dial-up uses slsk... it's nice for rarities but for common stuff - people need to get with the program and learn to google.
long anxiety filled day with a lot of good music is about to be longer... the mowing of the massive lawn always calms me down though and fucks with my vision, making me hallucinate from the vibrations or fumes or something... should be fun. listen with an open mind. enjoy.
later.

i just heard that some asshole stabbed my old friend miles from columbus (marvin the robot) in the chest... i guess he's gonna make it and is recovering in the hospital... here's some free songs from the internet from a while ago and there's a copy of midwesters (which two of these songs are from) in the file pile if you're interested... he's a great guy and a great musician who writes some really clever lo-fi indie pop tunes. give him a listen... and if you know him, you'd know he's the last person in the world that deserves to be stabbed for any reason... a great guy with an intoxicating laugh and a big heart.

tricia yates fanclub - tricia yates fanclub (2k9)
buy
myspace
(not in the file pile - 100 press)
buy one while you still can
this album is fucking great... probably my favorite that's ever come out of the 555/boyracer camp... the only thing it could go without is the "tricia yates" clips that are in-between all the songs for about ten or fifteen seconds... i haven't gotten my vinyl yet in the mail to know if they're on it but i think the next time through this cd-rip i'm gonna tak'em out just so i can get my ass non-stop kicked without taking a breath in-between.
simplifying things a little for easy loading.
i've noticed there are a lot of people still on dial-up in the world since i started leaving my soulseek running all the time... now since i said that doesn't mean that you should all leech from my computer by using their service... please, if you have the high speed connection, do me and those still on dial-up a favor and get your fill from the file pile or the "try" links if they are available.
so to make my page more easily loadable for those on dial-up i'm going to start hiding the audio players... so if you want to stream the album a little or read a line or two of some usually off subject and off the wall bullshit i felt the need to type for some reason... click on the "read more/show audio player >>" links that've started showing up today or on any post title.
the only players that'll be visible on the main post pages will be the bandcamp ones that load up nice and the movie trailers... at the top of the main page'll be a player that i'll flop a tune if available on myspace from the last album i listened to so people can play that if they want... it also has a link to the file pile next to it since most of those are hidden beside the players on the posts now... i guess it's ok to post amazon and discog album cover pics so those'll start being on posts again. if i get take down notices due to it though, i'll stop it since i don't want to get another blog deleted and i'm trying my best to take advantage of all the legal loopholes when it comes to sharing things with friends and people who i have no clue who they are... if you do like what i do... feel free to chat a little or give a little thanks... it's always appreciated and comments are open to all.
so in summary...
(in the file pile)
^^go there^^ to get your files instead of slsk if your computer's on speed.
click these guys or the "listen" links:
read more/show audio player >> if you want to jump in the stream.
if none of this makes sense to you, always feel free to ask... i'll always be happy to respond.
ok... time to get my coffee on. gotta go.
later.
