There's a new Mojave 3 album? Why am I guessing it's probably unremarkably snoozy...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 11 June 2006 13:24 (nineteen years ago)

No way that Pony up! album can be considered in any "Best of" anything list.

― elgolfo (elgolfo), Sunday, 11 June 2006 14:23 (nineteen years ago)

New Mojave 3 album is actually surprisingly upbeat rather than unremarkably snoozy!

What's new about a sledge full of indie records?

I'm not afraid to admit that I'm very fond of the new Divine Comedy record.

― Eric Harvey (eric marathonpacks), Sunday, 11 June 2006 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

Geez, Tim have you actually absorbed all these albums enough to give them a definitive edge over everything else you heard last month?

― gaseous (gaseous), Sunday, 11 June 2006 20:19 (nineteen years ago)

Eric, tell me more of this Divine Comedy album...

― sean gramophone (Sean M), Sunday, 11 June 2006 20:29 (nineteen years ago)

Stigmata is a CDS. But, yeah, I meant He Poos Clouds. Best album name of the year!

― Tim Paul (timnyc), Sunday, 11 June 2006 22:20 (nineteen years ago)

Craptastically pitchfork.

― astronautagogo (astronautagogo), Monday, 12 June 2006 01:45 (nineteen years ago)

i don't see celtic frost's new album on that list, lamer.

― GOD PUNCH TO HAWKWIND (yournullfame), Monday, 12 June 2006 02:12 (nineteen years ago)

the last mojave 3 record is an unappreciated classic. that said i've not much liked the songs i have heard from the new one. he's doing another solo album, that's not good news.

― keyth (keyth), Monday, 12 June 2006 02:57 (nineteen years ago)

What's the The Books thing? New album already? Christ, I'm so far behind in their discography already.

Sean, it's the best one yet from Hannon. The opening track is called "To Die A Virgin," and is the best example of war/pestilence Freudian dread I've heard yet this year. And, yeah, it also pretty much sounds like a fey George Harrison. And, yeah, I realize that this little postage stamp description has probably turned more off than on, so I'll stop here.

the new mojave is really great! it's revved up; some 60's organ, much faster tempos. the last song is slower, and it's absolutely gorgeous; one of my favourites.
