yeah this is the usual way of communication, like shouts on lastfm except these eventually disappear.

definitely give it another shot sometime. there's a lot of crazy shit going on with that record, and some real bangers on it too (like the first two songs). it's always been kinda like MPP to me; you could just sing along because all the songs are catchy and fun, but you sit back and pay attention for a moment and there's SO MUCH going on that's new and exciting.

glad you liked moscow olympics a bit more. i thought they were just okay the first time i listened to them, but then i just kept on listening to them for whichever reason (more than other shoegazey stuff i had decided was "better") and realized that i kept going back to them because nobody else really did exactly what they are doing. and they do it pretty damn well.

xiu xiu i've been meaning to listen to sometime- thanks for that. a girl i dated years ago thought they were the best thing ever, so i heard a bunch of songs, but never got around to sitting with a whole LP's worth at once.

brave little abacus is probably the weirdest of emo that I've heard lately, i really like this shit

white light/white heat very much disappointed me after the debut album, I really don't understand what makes it so special

Ukyo >>> Shampoo

How could you? ;_;

Ukyo is forever best girl. Thanks btw, I was surprised since it was so short.

also you should listen to Urusei Yatsura, it's actually great

It's a great band name. No problem, Slain by Urusei Yatsura is great too, I love summery 90s alt rock when it's done right.

Knife Play is good, but its songwriting feels conflicting. It's trying to create an unsettling atmosphere yet attuning with pop structures - some tracks do a good job at doing this ("Over Over", "I Broke Up"), others don't ("Luber", "Anne Dong"), it's really flow-breaking and jagged.

I'll give La Foret a listen, thanks!

na fam listen to this and tell me it isnt better than that https://soundcloud.com/mar...i-ame-iro-rondo
