Our tastes are probably too dissimilar for us to have a great deal of crossover, but thanks for that link to So You Say. Siobhan’s amazing and I’ve heard her acoustic version that she did on CapitalFM – it sounds great. Can’t wait for the album, comes out some time in June I think.

The ever-delerious Pitchfork gave Moon And Antarctica 98%.

Fanboy gasp! It’s Matthew Perpetua, of Fluxblog!

For the benefit of those who don’t read it, for me this is a bit like having William Shakespeare comment on my SWAT 4 screenplay to say “I wish my plays were as good as yours”.

Thanks, Matthew. I would also express gratitude for the many songs you provide, if I could only think of a song title that would somehow reflect that message.

Bob: yes, mostly! I must admit it’s been years since I listened to them as albums, I just keep the best tracks on my grand playlist, but there are plenty of those. My favourites are Life Like Weeds, Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes, Doing The Cockroach and Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine (?), which are all from Lonesome Crowded West and Moon And Antarctica. The other two I don’t recall liking a great deal.

Wow, I wish that my write-ups for those three songs were anywhere as good as yours! Well done, especially re: Maxi Geil — I’ve had three shots at that one song, and I think you said exactly what I’ve wanted to say each time.

It’s funny how now Arcade Fire is too mainstream. Cuh! Didn’t used to be. Hate when that happens. I heard The Aliens on the radio the other day, shocking!

And the new Modest Mouse is great. Are the albums previous to Good News For People Who Like Okay Music as good as these two new ones?
