You have no idea what a pain in the ass it was to find out about these bands and get their records. They are my favorites so far for 2008.
The Feeling of Love is for Oblivian fans. Except they're French. Crazy ass distorto blues stuff.
Magnetix are also French and a part of the whole current frog p-rock scene. Except they're more moody and dare I say it, atmospheric.
Movie Sar Junkies are wops from Turin who are similiar to Magnetix.
Brimstone Howl and Forbidden Tigers are essentially the same bands with the same members. the Howl are kinda Kim Salmon-y and The Tigers are raw almost japanese like p-rock. These folks are from Union Station, Neb. So go fucking figure.
I got a big order in for a whole bunch of new stuff. At the end of the year I suggest we burn CDs with your favorite songs on each and trade them. It can be like the old mix tape thing.

who knew there was a school of resentment in film appreciation? no godfather movies? no last tango? no michael mann? no shampoo? this guy ever hear of 1970s American cinema? glad he has a few 1914 persian silent films on his lists; goats were big back then. i declare the author of these lists full of shit.
save for having Drugstore Cowboy on one of his lists; i miss that movie...
yea, I just briefly skimmed it, but i figure some titles might pop up that I've never heard of.
Shampoo is still crap.
For the record, I liked Shampoo.
Have you guys ever heard the Aztec Camera version of Van Halen's Jump? Stunning. One of the 80s biggest party anthems is revealed to be a deeply sad tune about loneliness, even suicide. Just heard it recently. Yeah, I know its off the wall. But I had to write about it.
Can Obama get started quick enough? Jesus!
See you all later this afternoon.
