havent heard the religious knives one yet but again its on my "to get" list....

I have a Religious Knives' fan friend that like everything they've done except this one, so I haven't listened to it. Maybe I should, I've never been a big fan of their works, though I like most of what I've heard

It's worth hearing.

Yeah it could be the vet smell because they are growling and hissing at each other.. I brought Behr to my bed after I wrote the last post.. he laid w/me and purred. Then he laid on his blanket and made biscuits till he fell asleep. I got Pepper out. She's laying w/the b/f now. Lilly is under the bed hiding. It's just going to take some time for them to adjust.

I wouldn't say it sucks, but it's pretty bland, yeah.

Los Llamarada, Vivian Girls, Black Pus,Times New Viking, Eat Skull (to an extent), Drunkdriver, Brian Wilson Shock Treatment, DJ Screw, LSD March, Fursaxa, Necropolis, Tunnels, TV Ghost, U.S. Girls, Women, Carlos Giffoni etc etc.

It's been more of a 7''/EP/cassette year for me.

I have yet to hear a lot of stuff and it is near impossible to purchase most of the underground/basement label stuff.

My copy says the copyright is in 2007 as well, but wikipedia, allmusic, and even clark's website say January 28th, 2008, so I think it's 2008 :confused:

best of 08 and 09 (new album coming)

I'm waiting to do my final list until the fire on fire album comes out, but fennesz - black sea is now on it..

I need to check that out. I can never keep track of his stuff. His album with thisquietarmy, "orange" is one of my all time favorites.

Mine too. Absolutely brilliant stuff.
Anyways, this abovementioned CD is great too, although not as deep as "orange". His best solo record nevertheless, in my opinion.

It's nearly impossible to rep you whenever I want to, Adam.

Haha, I get that a lot. If you don't mind, I'm going to upload you an album eventually that I think you might like that I know you don't have. I've been meaning to for a while.

do it. please.
