Pedro the Lion's new album
I love Pedro the Lion, I am a huge fan. Their new album, Achilles Heel is very good, definitely worth checking out (though not as good as their 2002 album, Control, which is absolutely amazing.)
Anyhoo, I was poking around the achilles-heel.net site and found this lovely picture.
It isn't surprising, just nice to see.

I don't spend money on computers, or clothes, or nice wine. I spend money on music.

I don't know about pedro the lion anymore... maybe I've changed I liked options and Priests and paramedics but the whole album is sad... maybe its because my ex liked them so much i don't wanna think about them anymore
I spend all my money too on music
I really like that new Kings of Convenience
aaand does anyone know if that Iron & Wine cover of such great heights is going to come out somewhere?
A Ghost is Born comes out June 22nd. You can still preorder from wilcoworld.net or amazon.

I haven't heard it, I will check it out.
I really liked Quiet is the New Loud.

It's on the Such Great Heights EP. (Amazon)
I only very recently got into Iron & Wine, great stuff. The fiancee hates it.
Here's some others I've been listening to in the newish/upcoming category that I'd recommend as been worthwhile (imo):
Cranes - Particles and Waves
Systems Officer - EP
Auburn Lull - Cast From The Platform
Remote Viewer - Youre Going to Love Our Defeatist Attitude EP
The Ghost - Pen Is A Weapon
Les Savy Fav - Inches
The band has gone in the completely opposite direction since then.
From the 2000 track "The Great Outdoors!"
"remember when I told ya that I was a samurai/the fact of the matter is that was a lie
there were some other things that I'd rather not recall/ya'll can blame it all on the alcohol"
They have lightened up considerably, very fun stuff instead of that embarrassing pseudo-speedmetal crap. Give "Subtle Hustle" a download and give them Maryland boys another chance.
I hadn't even heard of Lali Puna until a week or so ago. I love The Notwist and someone told me about LP.
I'm afraid I've only got 3 more albums left on the June budget, and the Beastie Boys have got one of those last slots. I need to be careful.
This has been a great year for music. I am very appreciative.
I even thought it was all made up, like Seltzer Pickle-Puss and his French Nun Monkeys or Porcupine Factory or The Greased Zipper Sniffers...
Guess I'm old...so ollllld....

I'll keep an eye out for it.

Lali Puna is great. They have a couple albums prior to Faking The Book... worth checking out, all expensive imports of course. You might also look for Ms. John Soda.... its a Lali Puna/Notwist collaboration. Really most of the glitch-pop stuff from the Morr label is pretty good.
Notwist has had an interesting career. Don't know if you've heard any of their earlier material but they actually started out as a quasi-metal band! Bizarre considering where they're at now. I think my favorite Notwist is "Shrink". It's sort of a transitional album with a bit of a emo-ish feel to it.

Have heard the new Beastie Boys and wasn't terribly impressed. All the political posturing probably didn't help in my case though. Either that or I'm jaded from listening to too much Paul's Boutique in my youth.
