I somehow missed that AmAnSet dropped a new album last year— Hope you are well!

Hey old friend, did you see that AmAnSet re-did their website? Also just re-released Know By Heart on Vinyl--now I don't have to open the still-sealed copy I scored on ebay many years back. Hope all is well.

hey old lastfm friend, glad to see we are still super, hope all is well - you look different now btw ;)

yup

Hank!

that was quite a horrible day. but other then being haunted by the memory of my lost cd case im doing pretty well. ive been working and playing a lot of guitar nothing else to exciting

the other day i noticed we werent friends on here so i felt that needed to change. how have you been?

Woah small world. Yea, myopic is pretty great but the Seminary Co-op in Hyde Park is probably the best bookstore I have ever been to. It is academically focused, carrying new titles that you can't find at most other bookstores along with every other serious work of the last few hundred years worth reading. And if the co-op doesn't satiate you there are 3 additional myopic-like bookstores within a 5-minute walk. I can spend all day getting coffee and shuttling back and forth between them. Next time you are in town you need to check it out and if you need a guide I would be more than happy to oblige.

I think that is a shot from the Madison plat but I live in Wicker Park so I am quite familiar with the Damen stop. Did you live in Chicago at some point?

Someone is shooting for 3000 AmAnSet plays.

Have you heard of thesixtyone.com? Its hard to describe but think of a more social Pandora but with scrobbling support and an in-depth quest/reputation system that drives you to discover new artists. I have been kinda hooked on it for the past few days. Finding lots of really good stuff. If you try it out, track me down at the same username.

Indeed. Unfortunately it is a digital-only release. I bought a copy off of Amazon. Some tracks are new, 4 are from the Everything Ends in Spring EP, and others are alternate takes of past tracks. Track 3, "Make It Take It", is fast becoming one of my favorites. In other news, amanset.com appears to be gone.

Someone has returned to the world of the scrobbling.

I like your picture (:

Listening to music.. But not talkin to anyone.. i See how it is

good to see you Sara

It's like a damn miracle if I ever saw one

HI Sarah, this is todd. I find it disturbing that your laptop hasn't played music in 4 months. Disturbing!!!

Hi, my name is sarah. I don't listen to music anymore.

ummm when did our musical compatibility become super high??? You must be over your electro thing.

My god! No! I need to try to track that one down too. Thanks for the heads up.

You have probably already heard but Andrew Kenny's new project, The Wooden Birds, is about to take off, with an album set to drop on Barsuk in May. Judging from your AmAnSet play count, I am sure you are as eager as I am.

yeah the Books kinda rule in a world apart....there is a scottish group that is similar in style but not really as good.....they're called Tunng...still worth checking out

Thx for listening! You can purchase a 320 kbps -high rez MP3 copy here: http://app.artists-first.net/odd/shop.action or download a FREE low-rez MP3 copy (128 kbps) here: http://www.oddyear.net/ Happy New Year!

Hello, I have a new project called "Odd Year" and song: [track artist=Odd Year]Days Like This (ft. Loren Radis)[/track] Hope you like it, love to hear a shout back! -David http://www.last.fm/music/Odd+Year

Wolf Parade + Interpol. Good call.

hey no problem! ..they're great.. :)

we went on a roadtrip down there about 8 years ago..after leaving the observation area without seeing anything, we saw something shoot up out of the ground as we were driving away..other than the mystery lights, it's turning into a pretty cool little artist community down there. An artist named Dan Flavin turned this former army barracks into a fluorescent light art installation..http://www.chinati.org/visit/collection/flavinmore.php..very cool stuff

You're spot on. Now that you mention it, I can't remember if this was something I've been thinking all along, but didn't say anything, because I didn't think I knew anyone that knew Beulah, or if I'm only thinking that because I couldn't think of who it was it sounded like until now when you nailed it. New Kid Revival is Beulah exactly. I think I've been thinking the same from the start. I think we both had the original thought independently. I think. Anyway, it's great. I only have one Beulah. Have you listened to them much? Cheers.

I'm loving this XOXO...tons. Thanks for the heads up.

at the risk of falling from your highest pedestal, I fear I am failing at your request. I'll keep trying. I found xoxo... if you're interested. I haven't listened to him - going to give it a chance. Hope you're having a nice weekend.

i spy french quarter movin up your charts...glad to hear you like him, I think my favorite is "Bold With Fire"...If you do end up exploring southwest Texas, you should check out the Marfa Lights..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marfa_lights

hey there, i couldn't help but notice your upcoming event list... the decemberists in ithaca! all of the good acts are coming after i've left town. ah well, at least one of us is benefiting :)

I'm ashamed to say i've never been to sxsw, i've made it to austin city limits a few times though. did you have fun in boston? my sister always raves about it. I'm going up to nyc in late october, maybe i can take a train up to there for a day or two. I definately need to make it up to Canada, for those reasons you mentioned *cough*:), and if I happen to see Feist, i'm gonna propose to her.....if your'e into hiking and outdoors stuff, dallas kinda sucks(lol), but central texas has the Hill Country and further south towards Mexico, Big Bend National Park. I think you'd like New Mexico and Arizona a lot too, beautiful scenery...I love that The Brother Kite cd...I have to listen to Get On, Me three times in a row

hey happy bday, welcome to the 25 club!! ....Texas has some decent hiking, there's the Hill Country area which runs near Austin and some ranges closer to Mexico, not much compared to up north and Canada I'm sure. I really haven't been north too often, I think the furthest north iv'e been is either NYC or Chicago. I would love to go to Canada sometime, I've heard great stuff about Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, all the major cities there. I don't know much french, but i could listen to it all day, it's a pretty sexy language lol

Happy Birthday! Have fun this weekend, wherever it is.

i wish we had some mountains near dallas, austin is kinda hilly, but pretty flat here..already wearing sweaters??! lucky!! i think my favorite time of year is when i can start wearing sweaters or coats, but it doesnt happen here until late october or november,haha...that's pretty cool that your close to canada, i've always wanted to go to toronto or montreal...do you make it up there alot? On the new tvotr, I like what i'm hearing so far. This band evolves with every album they put out and this one has a brighter, funkier feel to it. I think "cryin'" might be my fav so far...btw check your inbox

i bet parts and labor would be nice and chaotic, i love their sound, especially "brighter days".. i need to check out the rest of their stuff....i'm sure the market is good for bakers, there's always a lot of new restaurants, cafes, bakeries opening up everywhere...im pretty sure austin is the same way... about the ny winters, i think i might take a cold, snowy winter, over the miserable, humid texas summer, lol, i can't wait for it to cool down at least to the 80's

You need to improve my taste in music! For a start, my cd and record collection is severely lacking in Yé-yé! :) Hope you're having a good weekend!

yes, very excited about these bands coming!, not too thrilled about the venue deerhunter is playing at, but there's no way i'm missing that show...but anywayz, dallas is cool, huge place, lots of jobs and low cost of living, but pretty conservative. while austin is more liberal and has more natural beauty, plus they get AWESOME music fests, have you heard of the FUN FUN FUN fest? i might go just for The National. but, yeah you should move to Texas!, just wait till hurricane season is over with first though, haha

I's gots Waiting For The Time To Be Right. Anything else would be sweet. Cheers!

i'm in dallas...my aunt lives in gowanda ny, which is near buffalo i think..i love nyc though , i wanna move there, at least for a few years...my sis just moved to hoboken and my friend to brooklyn, they get so many good shows there too

do u live in nyc?

go texas, my home state! i guess it does have some redeeming qualities, and yes that was the ylt song i was talkin about, i think stockholm syndrome, green arrow, and autumn sweater are my favorites of this album

Hi Sara:) ..no bad..no bad..thanx..:) I come back from concert and I unpack now.. hehh... I'm tired...... take care Sara***

hearing "ill believe in anything" at the end was like a religious experience..that yo la tengo song u just listened to is one of my favs btw,i think thats their best album

Elo, elo..:] how are you Sara?:)

wolf parade was def one of the best shows i've seen...was very happy they closed w/ "ill believe in anything"
