Top 10 favorite albums of the 90's ( in no order)
…
My Bloody Valentine- Loveless
...Thoughts on the new MBV?
As a big fan of about half of the records you listed, you've given me some discovering to do on the other half.
-
New mbv is a very good record if you can get past it not being loveless

I was expecting a Chinese Democracy situation but was pleasantly surprised, they really picked up right where they left off.
-
Agreed the album reminds me more of isn't anything. Which is a very good thing their is only one loveless

As someone that considers "Sea Change" by Beck to be a top 5 all time record, I encourage anyone to check out his new LP "Morning Phase". Fantastic stuff, worthy of being called a companion piece to SC.
Beck could record himself pissing on an eight track machine and i would still like it.

Bonnie "Prince" Billy- I See A Darkness
My buddy promoted a Bonnie Prince show in my favorite shithouse dive bar for alcoholics in my home town, and saw him twice more in another shithouse dive bar in my college town. Last couple of times have been a bit more civilized. Always great.

Couldn't agreement more about the new Beck record Sea Change was my favorite record from 2002
-
Sea Change is devastating. Kind of came out of nowhere for me and reinforced how broad Beck's talents were.

Has anyone heard the new Creepoid self-titled album from No Idea? It officially drops next week, but the download link arrived in my mailbox earlier today. It's awesome. Their first album, "Horse Heaven," is amazing. I'll wait to pass judgement on which LP is better once the vinyl arrives and I can give it some more critical listening

Twelve Hour Turn "The Victory of Flight"no get up kids love?
come on the 4 minute mile is amazing -
I agree the new Beck is amazing. I can't stop listening to it.
My personal favorite Beck song was only on the Japanese Sea Change. It was cut here for being too upbeat. "Ship in a Bottle" is my most played song on iTunes by a large margin.

I saw get up kids open for JEW in early '97 Woodson had just came out. Antarctica (Eric Richter from Christy Front Drive) was the opening act. My friend put the show on we used to be close with Jim Adkins. GUK blew the doors off the stage and JEW almost got booed off the crowd started chanting for GUK to come back out. Eric Richter came out and sang with JEW when they played "Digits" overall it was a great night.
-
that sounds like a great show. only got to see guk on their original final tour, which was still great. but i would have loved to see them around the 4 minute mile / something to write home about era.
-
just ordered tickets for my girlfriend and i to see stephen malkmus on april 7th in calgary. i am pumped as i used to live in toronto, and could see shows every week. ive been living in the mountains for the last 5 years though and with calgary being the closest city at 3 hours away, and them not getting nearly as many good shows as toronto, vancouver or montreal it has been tough.

no get up kids love?
come on the 4 minute mile is amazing"4 Minute Mile" is a great album too. Somehow it didn't make my drunken list of 11 from the 90s haha. GUK were very good live back in the day, but they never impressed me as much as Braid or the Promise Ring. TPR/Texas is the Reason tour around the time of "30 Degrees Everywhere" ('96) was easily the best show I've ever seen.
