i love love love the non-album version of "felt tip" (still the most played song on my itunes) but everything else i've heard since then has been a bit of a let down

Sideshows?

so freakin' orsum

i'm going to bump this because they are still unbelievably fucking awesome.

Not nearly enough posts on this thread. Didn't ramble on about them this week for no reason, these guys are awesome.

Love Is All

Australian Tour February/March 2007

From seemingly out of nowhere Sweden's Love Is All seem to be everywhere - the covers of magazines, darlings of the internet & on the lips of die-hard music fans all over the world. Rather than being the result of a well co-ordinated press assault this thrillingly infectious outfit put it more down to luck, tho having some mighty fine tunes performed with breathless energy & unadulterated verve hasn't hurt things either.

Formed out of the ashes of indie pop band Girlfrendo, Love Is All bypassed the usual approach dropping of dropping MP3s all over the internet, & instead made four 7" singles, each lovingly hand screen printed, before even considering recording a full length album. Some of these singles made their way into the "right hands" & after an NME single of the week the band flew to London to record a legendary Peel Session. With a roll like this going on it was naturally time to make a record, Nine Times That Same Song, which has turned out to be a wonderful collision of sounds combining glorious indie rock with the raw sounds of Riot Grrrl & No Wave, all fuelled by retro saxophone licks.

With a live show that only builds upon the energy of their recordings, Love Is All will undoubtedly be one of the bands to catch this summer when they tour Australia for the first time.

shutup. i just woke up

i've been meaning to buy one of those tees for a few months. They sold out of smalls in Melbourne and I got a medium just out of insane affection for them. It's like a tent on me so has a new owner.

But I MUST HAVE one of the t-shirts!! I guess I'll make an order this week.

Thanks for reminding me socksie x

I'll go in on an order if the postage is any cheaper? I repeat: I'm pathetic.

'tis, apparently!

let's do eet.

I'll get my chequebook.

I don't kiss on the mouth.

Bigmouth strikes again!

I've had 'Nothing to be done' stuck in my head so completely today that it's almost as though the notes are woven into the strings of my brain. I like this more than the original; while each has its charm, Love is All up the ante by working it into their favoured sound: calamitous, distorted drums, fuzzed out and echoey vocals, and a spatial sensation that's both cavernous as a warehouse and soft as one's bedclothes. The duelling vocal lines of the chorus get me every time. This is super good pop music. The kind that dredges up all that feeling inside you, forms a tidal wave with it, then dumps you face-first in the sand. The kind that fills you with that special kind of bliss by exploiting your masochism.

I'm only disappointed that I can't send this around as much as I'd like to; I bought it from iTunes Plus, which reportedly embeds your name and e-mail address within 'DRM-free' mp3 files.

I like this more than the original

you take that back! Though I still remember screaming like a banshee and waving my arms at Josephine at EBC when she declared they were doing a Pastels song.

I'm only disappointed that I can't send this around as much as I'd like to

can't you burn it to CD and then rip it as a basic MP3?

Who could be bothered?

a TRUE FAN.

that's who.

(p.s pwned.)

Whenever I have a really bad hangover, I put Make Out, Fall Out, Make Up on repeat.

It soothes.

Oh! The Pastels' version of Nothing To Be Done is one of my fave tunes ever. Jeez, I haven't listened to that in ages.

puts it on

Well, now I'm completely bananas hooked on both versions. ARGH POTENTIAL SONG OVERLOAD!

STEP RIGHT OVER ME

NEW ALBUM IS FUCKING GREAT!!!!!!

YOU ARE!!

NAH YOU!!!!

what? Who?

BW!... you are some sort of great thing.. just admit it

I LAUGH IN THE FACE OF MOVIE ROMANCE - 'COS AGAINST THIS THEY DON'T STAND A CHANCE!

Superfuckingawesome Summertime hit prediction!

Diggin' this. Not least the 'bored to death of all this shit/aboard this ship' kerfufflin'.
