man, i hate to be a hater (it's all about pos-i-tivity, yo!), but i must admit ... i find the new Max Tundra release to be very annoying to the point of being unlistenable... now, again, i'm not just trying to hate here... i'm down with some awfully annoying j-pop, and i feel my threshold is pretty high, but this shit is so dorky-in-a-bad-way that it ceases to be ironic and is just difficult to swallow. it's super producer masturbation style without the style (imo) so, on a positive note... i have finally realized that SunnyDayRealEstates "Something On" is just the best damned thing in the world. are you sad? want to feel better? some find the singers soaring a little too much, but if you can take it, this shit is downright religious rock (actually, the lead singer was born-again at one point)... it's baroque indierock at it's finest. .................. np: track 13 on new VenetianSnares... holy shit cakes! .................... ps. anyone heard the Leafcutter John track on the new WireTapper? oh my god. it's so amazing. i'm not super into his older stuff, but it utilizes his amazing cut up technique, but in a very high-art fashion for the first half of the song, and then creaps in pop sensibilities... it's a pretty staggering achievment. proppage! .... bloodcot! _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 3 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail&xAPID=42&PS=47575&PI=7324&DI=7474&SU= http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg&HL=1216hotmailtaglines_stopmorespam_3mf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

iyo indeed! Man, I remember saying similar stuff about Kid 606, even Autechre, but then I ended up liking it... Not that this is a similar situation, but now I guess I know what it feels like to be on the other end, reading this stuff about artists I really like. in my own opinion, I really really like Max Tundra's style, which he has in spades... I think I can quite truthfully and honestly state as fact that Max Tundra is skilled, talented, and very, very good - you just don't like it because it's not your thing........

You like Venetian Snares? I guess that says it all right there. I'm tempted to say the same thing about him that you said about Max Tundra, but I suppose his stuff is probably really good for what it is, but I just don't like it myself.

That's kinda what his albums are like, methinks... At least we can agree that LC John is acceptable! :D -adam, not actually here, you're just imagining this message --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Erm, have you heard the two SDRE albums before, or Jeremy Enigk's solo album? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
