I'm guessing that might be where the 'cretin' comes from, too. Love those cartoons; if you haven't already, check out this post on Radio Flyer - "<BR/><BR/>yeah, I saw that, it was pretty good (as well as the ridiculously awesome HWM review). and I think when it comes down to it, "tyrannosaur in an f-16" will go down in history as one of the great artistic acheivements of the 20th century, right up there with 'the persistence of memory' and fellini's '8 1/2'. it's just that good.<BR/><BR/>oh, and since I'm listening to it at the moment, I'd just like to chime in that Moving Pictures is indeed quite good. I can definitely see both the Husker Du and MoB comparisons, and really, a band with those comparables is pretty much destined to be good.cretinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350335348193490422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305962566578166600.post-44502867700777871932008-08-01T20:12:00.000+01:002008-08-01T20:12:00.000+01:00yeah, it does seem a bit odd.but you know what's o...yeah, it does seem a bit odd.<BR/><BR/>but you know what's obviously still in print, because I bought it today? The Slint EP on 10" vinyl, probably my favourite minute-by-minute output of the band.<BR/><BR/>It was in Spin Dizzy, same shop as I bought <I>Margin Walker</I>, and the general vinyl section faces out on the rest of the arcade, so I hope someone was walking by the window outside so they could see the expression on my face...<BR/><BR/>ahem. anyway, I thought you'd like that anecdote. If I post up the mp3s, they'll be taken down pretty quick but I think I'm going to have to try some One Base on an Overthrow-style photography of the record.

And no, I've never heard them before - just 'cos I'm Irish doesn't mean I'm from Boston!<BR/><BR/>I can't say much about posting full albums, since I do it all the time. I do like the little streaming thing you've got, with the ability to download the particular song. But I always try to put up a link to buy - either physically or digitally - any album I post up download. If you like it, buy it... or at least, buy it if you would normally.gabbagabbaheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764368059568550318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305962566578166600.post-28400651388239324602008-08-01T00:56:00.000+01:002008-08-01T00:56:00.000+01:00Gabba, you've never heard Moving Targets before? T...Gabba, you've never heard Moving Targets before? They're one of the greatest Boston bands ever. I presume you downloaded "Burning In Water" from that guy's blog and listened to it. Way more Mission of Burma than Husker Du, though I understand the comparisons. Totally amazing record, though. Almost every song on it is great.<BR/><BR/>It did bother me that "Burning In Water" is still in print and available from the record label, as are a couple of the other CDs he's posted in full (Chavez, Come)... but whatever.Brushbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439601217855895036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305962566578166600.post-38293393921819378442008-07-31T22:43:00.000+01:002008-07-31T22:43:00.000+01:00"cretinous curmudgeon"i choose to interpret this a..."cretinous curmudgeon"<BR/><BR/>i choose to interpret this as a compliment :Pcretinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350335348193490422noreply@blogger.com
