I'm on the third song now and they have all been amazing.
This could end up being my favorite album of the year. This thing is a masterpiece! I did not anticipate being blown away by a Lee solo record.
thanks bri, it's about time you started pulling your weight around here

ha, I thought you might like it.
I tried a little bit to get into Thurston's solo record but haven't been able to.
This Lee record is that HOT FIRE though. I wasn't sure if I could take a whole album of Lee singing poetry but he changes the songs and his delivery up enough that It works really really well. He actually did a great job with the vocal melody throughout, me thinks.
Really looking forward to hearing this record (usually avoid advanced streamings and wait til the album is in my hand). It was always Lee's songs that got me most excited whenever a new Sonic Yoof record dropped. Hated how he was always curtailed to one or two songs per album.
And That latest Thurston record is a big steaming pile. Truly terrible...
Bought this today on Vinyl. Amazing!!!!
They weren't making out
She was a bit hysterical.....and I was just trying to calm her down.
You can, you can
Take this feeling home
Here you'll be my friend again
When we're all alone
So Many Amazing Moments on this record.
A Scathing review.....

and in Boston. That's what made caught my interest for this thread. I listened to the stream once and wasn't sure what to think.

demolished thoughts? that was one of my favorites last year. not the best, but probably in the top ten at least. harsh words.

Jonathan Richman is opening for M in SF. Maybe I was on the east coast too long, but I thought Jonathan could still hold his own. Here's hoping for a duet!

I think its just the cello pitch that fucks this record up for me. It just sound like screeching, and its relentless throughout the entire record. Loved Trees Outside the Academy though...
And back to Lee, picking this album up today from my local record store (we still have a few here!). Cant wait to listen to it...
Favorite record of the year so far...
