Whoa, by Tom Francis

Whoa

There’s new Low, new Ted Leo and new Modest Mouse, and all of them got As from The Onion? Why was I not informed?

I don’t often think of Low when I’m asked my favourite bands, but I really should. They’re probably third or fourth, something completely ridiculous like that. Their last, The Great Destroyer, is one of the most perfect albums ever recorded, up there with Come On Feel The Illinoise and The Greatest.

Seriously, though, is there a way I can be informed of this stuff? Is there some music release-tracking site out there where I can subscribe to each of the bands I like as an RSS feed, to be notified each time they release something? It seems like something Amazon, if no-one else, ought to do.

The_B: Actually, it's a rather interesting point. The closest thing I can think of would be sites like Last.FM and the like, which offer RSS feeds of when someone reccomends you a song (although I know you've had problems with them in the past), but indeed - it could be an interesting idea for the record companies and artists to take note of..

erdniS: There IS a message board that more or less ALWAYS upload leaked albums like this. I had the new Modest Mouse and Ted Leo a month ago++. Baiscally people upload albums on sites like sendspace and gigasize and post them on the board. There is also a lot of obscure music, b-sides and live recordings.

If that's not your cup of tea though, I guess you could read the thread names to get an idea.


	Pentadact: Dudes and dudettes! The ever-glorious Fluxblog has upped a track from the new Ted Leo hereabouts It is toe-tappingly tragic.


	Pentadact: Update! A song from the new Low, called Breaker, is up on their site in video form: http://www.chairkick... ...reaker.mov It is perhaps the worst music video ever made.
