EVOL! Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Picked up a few new releases today. Been a while since I hit the record store. Thank god for mom & pop places. Shout out to Laurie's Planet of Sound. Here's what I got. Les Savy Fav - Root for Ruin. My drummer turned me onto these cats. Sad that this is the first album by them that I have owned. So far I am really digging it. The best parts of Fugazi and ATDI blended into one. Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest. Much weirder than Microcastle and the album starts slow, but really pickups about song three. Blonde Redhead - Penny Sparkle. Have not given this a listen yet. I have high hopes that they take the sound of 23 and expand on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I just checked out Les Savy Fav, and they sound pretty good. Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITkH0i7bmwQ[/YOUTUBE] One of the performances on Dinner with the Band the singer gets into the shower (couldn't find the video). Makes me cringe thinking about the possibility of electrocution, but it makes for great entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV9UGQMnF_4 What the hell is the singer on? He looks like Santa on shrooms. They have some good stuff out, never listened to Deerhunter, but I wil give them a listen. I'm really starting to branch out into more music like this, At the Drive In, Mars Volta, etc. Let me know of other bands like this I should listen to. I'm really diggin it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Deerhunter is really strange. Sort of a modern day psychedelic band with killer pop hooks. Not a fan of their early stuff, but their last record, Microcastle, is epic. If you get it make sure you listen all the way through. The album doesn't make sense when you listen to tracks by themselves. For something mellower than Les Savy Fav with a lot of slinky guitars, check out Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks.

Would love an SG Jr. like that. Yeah, only a singer would be able to take a minute to untie a banner and use it to crowd surf. I'm really gassin' for an SG, I'm thinking a Standard is the way to go. That, and a Tele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Jazzmaster/Jaguar body with the bridge, pickup, pickguard, neck, and headstock of a Tele. Very cool looking. Check this beauty out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
