I can tell you moving my record collection up from Houston last week made me want to chuck it out the window all along the drive home just I wouldn't have to carry it inside.

the devon williams 45 is a glorious piece of leamington spa-aping shimmery wonderment

brilliant colors album very disappointing... the shitty recording doesn't do the songs any favours, but then the lack of tunes don't do the songs any favours either

awww bummer! did you like any of the singles? they live in my neighborhood, and i like 'em!

i liked 'highly evolved'.. tbf i had high expectations.. and i feel their ideas are spread verrry thinly over an album's worth of songs

Oh is this the "new stuff" promised on their myspace? I got all excited about a reunion for a minute!
― Colonel Poo, Thursday, 28 January 2010 08:18 (fourteen years ago) link
The Slumberland website seems to make it sound like simply unreleased material; I think they'd make a point about it being "new" if it was. And if there was any time for them to have a reunion, they would have been the "special guests" at the 20th anniversary concert in brooklyn in november! I mean, how do you have a 20th anniversary show with unannounced special guests, and then reveal it to be your most popular current artist? Pains of Being Pure at Heart are fine, but thats such a tease! I thought It would have been Black Tambourine or Velocity Girl...
― Evan, Thursday, 28 January 2010 23:35 (fourteen years ago) link
Well, one of BT is 3000 miles away and scared of flying.
While appearing together onstage wasn't possible, WAV files are easier to pass around transatlantically...

supposed to be a west coast reunion show or two, and henry's dress and velocity girl were rumored to be on the bill!
― 69, Friday, 29 January 2010 00:25 (fourteen years ago) link
Well Black Tambourine was just one example. I would love to see Henry's Dress or Velocity Girl, but I'm on the damn freezing east coast.
― Evan, Friday, 29 January 2010 02:07 (fourteen years ago) link
I kinda wish I hadn't JUST bought the previous Black Tambourine CD with all the songs.

capitalist bastards. i'm totally buying it.
― KORGÜLL THE EXCHEQUER (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 29 January 2010 07:31 (fourteen years ago) link
I've had the CD for about 10 years, I'll probably still buy the new release but on vinyl instead.

"Features four new songs that the band reunited to record, including Buddy Holly and Suicide covers."

Sold out :). Thought it would have sold out way before, but whatever, I can't wait.

the new Lorelei track has the most beautiful guitar sounds on it
some of the vocal is a touch annoying but overall it's pretty sweet
― tempus fuggerit (electricsound), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 00:41 (eleven years ago) link
lorelei album is pretty sweet on first listen. "hole punch" is just gorgeous
― relentlessly busting your smoo (electricsound), Saturday, 8 September 2012 01:15 (eleven years ago) link
I liked the one track I heard from it, definitely. I'll check out the whole thing soon!
― Evan, Saturday, 8 September 2012 02:14 (eleven years ago) link
this album is totally better than "stove"
― upset and upsetting (electricsound), Friday, 14 September 2012 10:13 (eleven years ago) link
Is that right? I won't put it off anymore.
Come to think of it though, Stove was pretty post-rocky for a Slumberland release. Tricked the label heads into signing them based on their 7" then went in mostly a different direction save a few tracks off that record.

Neil Halstead, Mark Van Hoen, and Nick Holton of the newly-formed Black Hearted Brother will release their debut album Stars Are Our Home on October 22nd on Slumberland Records. In anticipation of the release, The New York Times is streaming the album in full a week before

so teenage fanclub is the hip new influence huh
at least that's the impression i'm taking away from these tony molina and withered hand records

Withered Hand didn't grab me at the Chickfactor show.

i wouldn't want to be grabbed by a withered hand either

Ha, yeah
― Evan, Tuesday, 15 April 2014 04:21 (ten years ago) link
I thought Withered Hand were amazing at the Chickfactor show! I dig the album a lot, too.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 04:44 (ten years ago) link
I really love Withered Hand too; don't really hear a TFC thing going on there in particular.
― Tim, Tuesday, 15 April 2014 12:32 (ten years ago) link
To be fair, we were pretty tired and were ready to make the long journey back to Hoboken.
― Evan, Tuesday, 15 April 2014 13:15 (ten years ago) link
yeah i guess i overstated the TFC thing there a bit
― denial plan (electricsound), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 01:09 (ten years ago) link
there is a bit of TFC in the Tony Molina record, but the early Weezer influence is about 100x more prominent, right?
