Jbissell, is that Baroness the metal band? One of my co-workers likes them.

Yes.

If you like Baroness I'm surprised Crack the Skye didn't make your list.

Any one get into the new Kurt Vile record that Matador put out? Just got it, it's good!
Also liking Vivian Girls Everything Goes Wrong.

Someone mentioned Drunkdriver, I'm seeing them next Friday. Love those guys.

Also any thoughts on Bonnie Prince Billie Beware?
I can't tell if it's awesome or ridiculous. The first line of the first song cracks me up every time.
Overall feeling about it is that's is awesome, although maybe someone should have suggested he reel it in.

Show topic: "reel it in guys"

Beware! is great. It really clicked for me after seeing a lot of those songs performed live last summer at Santo's Party House. One of the best show's. Oldham's band that night was killer.

Also, Drunkdriver is fucking insane live. I haven't really heard their recorded material, though.

I agree Beware is great, I need to listen to it a few more times for it to sink in better. But as great as it is, it's just so BUSY. I guess it bugs me because I feel like that album could be like end all be all good, but there's some production stuff going on that's just distracting.

Yeah I saw Drunkdriver on Halloween and maybe once or twice before that. Live show is rad. I think the show next Friday will be good, it's an Union Pool. Not my favorite venue but...
I only have their Porn Pregnant record, I like it.

Finally checking this out after getting a tasty taste on DJ Terre T's 2009 wrap-up program.  It's a delight.

Picked up the vinyl when they played Nashville, much better mastering than the CD.  Amazing album.
