...on this Bon Savants record. OK, I know Kev's a long-time boarder and all, but, if anything, that makes me hold the record to a higher standard. Wonderful mix of influences here that blend into a diverse whole that makes this one of the best records of the year. I mean, I hear The Wrens, Pavement, Echo & The Bunnymen, Bowie (my wife's call), Interpol, as well as something new with each listen. It's like going to Baskin-Robbins. There are all of these flavors, but yet they're all still ice cream, and who doesn't love ice cream. It would really be a shame if this record was overlooked this year, especially by the people here. Don't want to start ye olde Hype/Backlash machine, just saying what I mean. It's the only record I've listened to on repeat this year other than The Thermals.

It'll go on my want list, which means I'll never get it because people don't like buying me music anymore after they see how many cd's I have.

http://www.bonsavants.com/ Band really needs to get Amazon to put some clips on the page for the album - that's a make or break deal a lot of times.

Sounds pretty damned good so far. Better than a lot of the stuff this board jizzes over on a regular basis, for sure.

The record is really good, though I'm still not the biggest fan of Thom's vocals. They've come a long way from their first show as the Prostitutes.

i kind of want to hear this, but again I'm not a big fan of dude's vocals so I've never felt like investing in it.
