Got these today:
Elf Power- Back to the Web
A good album. As always, Elephant 6 never fails to disappoint. They are heading away from the typical E6 sound however, trying to experiment. Which is fine. Elf Power was a bit like any of the others before, but now they are different and unique, trying to mix in some other influences in there. They were good before, despite the normal E6 sound, but now they are new and still good. It's probably about equal to We Dream in Sound.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor- Lift Your Skinny Fists Like…

Belle & Sebastian- Push Barman to Open Old Wounds
Compilation of all of Belle's EPs. I'm on a big Belle kick in anticipation for seeing them in concert, so I bought this. Not exactly coherent, but I wasn't expecting it to be, and it's still full of really pretty songs. Good stuff.

My Bloody Valentine- Loveless
Been hearing about this album for forever. And it's really good. Kinda Sonic Youth-esque but with easier to find pop melodies. This makes me want to buy more CDs because lots of people get compared to these guys.

Yes, it is indeed a music survey. I have so little to do it makes me cry.

What is your favourite…

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti- The Doldrums
Weird lo-fi semi-pop. I like it, but I could understand people who don't. It's very strange. Not as strange as some other stuff I have, but it's a different kind of strange than anything else I have, so hard to compare.

Belle & Sebastian- The Life Pursuit
Really insanely different fomr their otehr stuff I have. But they've still got it man, it may not be an If You're Feeling Sinister, but it's got a really awesome twee appeal of its own.

Vitalic- OK Cowboy
Good, actually. I usually don't like…

Saw Of Montreal at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco last night. It was fucking amazing.

Some shitty opening bands played, but then Kevin Barnes comes out in a wedding dress, proceeds to marry the crowd, and then srips it off to reveal him shirtless with tight white leather pants. The crowd has since gone wild, an doesn't stop for an hour and 45 minutes Then they bust into Rapture Rapes the Muses. About half way through, Kevin and the bassist start crowd surfing, and then making their way back thorugh the crowd on foot. I grabbed. The…
