Oh, but Drinky, what do you think of August Bron?

It seems pretty cool, but I really haven't listened to it much. There are some nice moments, but I don't think I'd buy it.

Did you post in the 'Year In Review: Stephen Malkmus - Face the Truth' thread? If not please do because I would love to hear your take, being number one and all.

Goddamn...I'm gonna agree with a bunch of people and say this is too early. Also, if and when there is an OFFICIAL top whatever of 2005, can we sticky it?

Oh, newb. Obner exists for this time of year. We might even poll each other about it.

That makes a kind of sense... it's the Josh Rouse that seems out of character to me. In fact I see it on a couple of lists here. Surprising. I like it, but I am usually wrong...

I have heard two song on XM Radio via DirecTV with the guy singing. They were really good where with their last release I only remember her songs. I need to get to know this record before the end of this year.

Lorna - Static Patterns and Souvenirs

Colleen - The Golden Morning Breaks

In short: Lorna is in the vein of Low and Mazzy Star; soothing and dreamlike. Colleen is ambient, acoustic instrumentation that pulls you into its stream of consciousness.

it really is a great album. i thought that heart was a bit cheesy at times, where set yourself on fire is a little more rock with slightly deeper lyrics.

Any way someone can YSI a track from this? I've actually seen it in a store around here for a fairly reasonable (for an import) price, and I was considering picking it up based on some of the descriptions I've read.

I'd really like to hear something first, though.

I'll see what I can do when I get home. It would be difficult to pick one track that 'represented' the album though. It's a little bit blues, a little bit funk, a little bit doo woop, a little bit jazz (etc, etc)

It might not matter too much. I just want to hear what he sounds like. Anything would be appreciated.

Actually, I've been listening to a burned copy I got from a friend for weeks...but I'm willing to give you credit nonetheless.
