  1. i didn't know that chromatics had a "new" and "self-released" offering.

    is it just a home diy record that i don't know about? did they for some reason leave italians do it better? they've been off tmu for a while...

    what do you mean? the album with the kate bush cover was not self-released, if that is the particular one you're referring too.

    I'm talking about Night Drive -- some people tagged it as IV. I just glanced over that it was self-released on #IT. Apparently they sold copies directly weeks before Italians Do It Better, so that's why I thought it self-released.

    From their myspace:

    HEY EVERYONE,

    OUR NEWEST CD "NIGHT DRIVE" IS OUT NOW.

    10 SONGS.

    TOTAL RUNNING TIME 58:06

    1. THE TELEPHONE CALL

    3. I WANT YOUR LOVE

    4. RUNNING UP THAT HILL

    5. THE KILLING SPREE

    6. HEALER

    7. MASK

    8. TOMORROW IS SO FAR AWAY

    9. LET'S MAKE THIS A MOMENT TO REMEMBER

    10. TICK OF THE CLOCK

    THE "NIGHT DRIVE" CD IS AVAILABLE FOR MAILORDER DIRECTLY FROM THE GROUP.

    ITALIANS DO IT BETTER WILL HAVE THEIR COPIES IN A FEW WEEKS.

    "NIGHT DRIVE" IS $9 PPD IN THE STATES, $12 PPD THE REST OF THE WORLD.

  2. Am I reading this right? Did you just say racoo-oo-oon?

    Do you have some kind of connection to the band or do they actually have a decent fanbase now?

    I used to be decent friends with one of the members in HS, and we have a lot of mutual friends.

    No, I don't have a connection with them. I know someone that lived in Iowa for a while that told me about them, but I really don't think their fanbase is that large aside from small hipster circles, small online review magazines, or record stores.

  3. boris w/the dude from ghost - rainbow

    jay reatard - blood visions

    das oath - umm the newest one

    no age - weirdo rippers/get hurt

    feist - the reminder

    deerhoof - friend opportunity

    wilco - sky blue sky

    dinosaur jr. - beyond (haven't heard this yet actually..)

    Michio Kurihara is the guy from Ghost. You should check out his solo album, because it's really fucking good.

  4. It is a great idea...only if you are familiar with the band and their music. I see too many of these young ass "get fresh kids" with loud Dunks or Bapes, biker/skater chains, studded belts, going to Hot Topic to buy or out in Soho actually wearing Misfits tees (one example)...meanwhile they are makin' fun of the "crazy white boys" who are in all black, wear tight jeans, and listen to "that rock & roll shit."

    No question that some bands have incredible art and logo ideas to put on t-shirts...but the point of a "band shirt" is to wear it as a sign of appreciation for that particular band's music. It's VERY corny otherwise.

    Can we say Unknown Pleasures?
