General discussion about the band, live shows, its recordings or bootlegs, etc. You can buy, sell or trade here. You can even post eBay links. If it's about the Bunnymen, it goes here.

No we like Miley Cyrus now. Jeez. We have not yet however discovered Chipmunk's delightful "Oopsy Daisy". Give us a week or so.

overall i like this better than WAYGDWYLWTFBBQ and flowers. i think as a whole album its a stronger release than siberia too, even though there are tracks on siberia that i really like.

either way, i'm looking forward to seeing the band in november. :)



I'm going to open a restaurant and call it WTFBBQ.

Please tell me you didn't just make a crack about the wagon.

I gave The Fountain the alone in the car and really loud test and it really was meant to be turned up. Came across much better than over the computer speakers while checking out boobieblog.com.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Yeah I think some people are basing opinions of the mix on the sound they are getting from their $29 PC speakers of shitty mp3's or clips. I've listened to this on my Bose system in my car and it sounds very good as far as the mix goes.

I'm basing my opinions on the shitty songs contained in the cd.

Now people are joking about Cyrus and the Wagon?

You people make me sick.

Seriously though, no one interested in music not formatted for a station goes to terrestial radio in the US except for
a. old people loving classic rock
b. young kids loving the dance jams
c. dentists offices and waiting room music and office music
d. bland jazz and/or Christian and/or bland country music

We have a college station here. The kids play what they want. I feel my age because there is a generation gap but recently I am hearing a lot of new stuff I like so maybe the planets are in line - and they play local bands -the recording quality of which is mind boggling compared to what we had to settle for DIY 15 years ago.

From what I have read, itunes, amazon and other music download locations have found it is the cumulative sales of single mp3s from a wide variety of artists are becoming their big source of revenue - like 45 rpms of old -

There is so much good stuff out there. You need to dig. Easiest way is to start with something amazon recommends if you like this band you will like.

Youtube - watch a video you like and then click one considered related and keep following the maze . . .

See a movie you hear music you like watch the credits or google for it - same with commericals . . .

Like something obscure find out what label they are on and check out the rest of that label's catalogue.

Someone on a message board seems to have the same taste -watch what they post about down the road.

It isn't that hard. Takes less time than watching a tv show.

I finally got it. Boy are they using cheap graphics even on the CD cover. Looks like they are selling the CDs out of their trunks. Strange...
