Hey, I just found out that "lassigue bendthaus" means "Go fuck a hamster" in ancient Tibetan. PRETTY NEAT, HUH?

i have his first record ever

ahh shit, you wann talk about german expoerimental, lemme at it.......howz about Faust? better yet Faust IV????? Can is my fav, Holger Czukay can rip me a new one, love Harmonia? Ever read The Krautrock sampler by Julian Cope??????? Howz abot Klaus Schulze, hey Markus? are ya famililar? or better yet thinking of minimal composers, howz about Tony Conrad, minimalist violinist...he orginally workjed with the Dream Syndicate in the late 60's

i just discovered a new band called aereogramme. reminds me of what sigur ros might have sounded like before they had their testicles removed. i recommend it.

yeah. sigur ros combined with . . . i dunno . . . botch? emo done right at last? maybe i'll be bored with it by monday.

hmm. upload some tracks if its no trouble. im terribly lazy about new music.

http://www.chemikal.co.uk/aereognews.html there's a link on this page. the tour diary is more readable than most tour diaries of bands you know next to nothing about. my 2¢, should anyone care.

spider, i also managed to score the notwist "neon golden". is that the one you mentioned? i like it a lot. how can it sound so un-german?

sarah, you mentioned stephen malkmus' new album. was it "pig lib" with the jicks? i got a pre-release of that, too. sounds good.

yep, pig lib. i love it. he seems to have evolved - his guitar work is quite splended on that album.

have any of you guys heard Frou Frou? they're my new favorite of the moment. it might be a bit too british or a bit too electronic for your liking dave, but i bet cyst and spider would like them.

No, never heard of them. What are they like? Do they have heavy beats? (My preference.) Male or female vocals? Dave, I honestly don't know which Notwist album I have. The first song starts with these off-tempo electronic beeps before the song kicks in....does this sound familiar? I'll check the title tonight and let you know. That Stephen Malkmus album is sounding mighty tempting at the moment...

spider, email me your mailing address, i'll pop a copy to you today. frou frou sometimes has heavy beats - it varies. female vocals.

i remarked on frou frou here on the boards not to long ago....i cited her annoying voice...sounding like that dopey chick from the Cranberries who sings in that weird bad-Bjork, yodel-like tone that completely gets under my skin. i've only heard one song remixed about 10 different ways from frou frou but they cant stop playing her and husband on the radio.

hmmm... i don't agree. i like bjork's music quite a lot, but i'm also not a big fan of the yodeling school of singing. either way, i don't think the girl from frou frou has that kind of singing style at all. certainly the *music* sounds nothing like either bjork or cranberries.

not, it doesnt, and i dont mind bjork at all. you don't hear that 'yodeling' mode of singing in that one single they've have been playing for the last few months...you know that da da da da da da..........da da da da da um yeah......da da da da da mmmkay......da da da da da the daily npr "morning becomes eclectic" show has a tendency to drive songs into the fucking ground, and that one tune was one of them.

Sarah, I'll email you my mailing address in a moment. Thanks very much for the offer! Dave, my Notwist album is indeed 'Neon Golden"!

could be if those beeps are like plucked violins. it's kinda cool and also a bit disappointing how much lali puna and ms. john soda sound like this. maybe not so much lali puna. sarah, i actually like a lot of electronic music, even the british kind, as long as it's not the dancey kind. i also like bjork but i'm more about bjork: the concept, than i am bjork: the experience. way too alien to be anything but conceptually understood. what movie or tv show was it where someone made a comment about something being like weird on bjork?
