great record. tour on the way, tis rumoured..

You know what? A Blonde Redhead / Beach House double bill would totally flatten people. It'd be perfect. I sure hope those two tour rumours are somehow intertwined. It'd be a stroke of geniuq.

if Blonde Redhead don't pull another cancellation on us, of course. this they are notorious for...

Was this before or after the Kazu Makino / horse accident, though?

cancellation here was after, others before..

the three songs I've heard from that Beach House LP have been beautiful. I looking out for it.

It's a really nice record. Reminds me a lot of Mazzy Star.

check out r.l. stine's wikipedia entry

where did you pick it up socks?

i've really been enjoying the myspazz tunes of late.

I like it a lot. I think quite a few people on here put it in their top 10s for last year.

I wonder what they sound like live? Do they just play as a two piece?

So good.

yes they perform as a two piece, sitting down, preferably in hushed environments...
looks like they're coming to oz in the spring!

a bunch at JB Eliz St, ms menace..

thanks mister sister!

i might pop in tomorrow eve after grindstoning my nose.

gimme a wave!

hehe, just chucked this on again. been falling asleep & rising to this all weekend!

we also do mail order if ye please.

whoo!

WAY too much backing tape. And the drummer hardly plays - why is he even there? Was pretty much all electronic beats. meh. (Laneway Melb)

She was smoking something pretty strong..

I met Victoria the other day at laneway.. But got super shy when she started talking to me. She's a little intense.

jealous.

WAY too much backing tape. And the drummer hardly plays - why is he even there? Was pretty much all electronic beats.

actually I thought all of the bass was in a backing tape, but it turns out it was coming from bass foot pedals. so really it's just the drum loop rather than a full backing tape, which is a pretty foundational part of their sound...

There's a lot of BVs in there too. BVs, I might add, which Alex supposedly sings - if you watch those silly Pitchfork videos!

hmm was there? there was one track where it sounded like there was one more vocal part than there was happening on stage... but only the one I think...

Beck's Festival Bar always has crappy sound though, so I'm sure other venues would have been more revealing.

The Sydney show at the Beck's tent was great, the crowd was absolutely shit though. Bunch of unresponsive coolsies.

Did anyone cry when they heard them this time? I think I cried (secretly) when I saw them the first time. Weak, eh.

I had a pretty intense reaction to seeing them a few months ago, but it lasted for 5 songs, then I got a little bit bored. It was worth it for what I got though!

heard them on the pa in lane crawford, harbour city HK today.

There doesn't seem to be a lot going on in Beach House's world, as far as I know, but 'Lovelier Girl' is one of my favourite love songs ever.

featured heavily in 'the future'. i wore my tshirt as a pyjama last night.

I'm sure almost everyone has heard their new song Myth by now, but just in case you haven't, it's amazing

new album is out there, pretty nice on first listen

The RSD 7'' is amazing. both the songs and the packaging. Tie dye pattern of some sorts.

listening now. had no idea it was out and about. not sure i care anymore? make me care again, beach house! haha

same, there is a certain smugness or detachment that I find consistently alienating with these guys. Nice melodies though.

Didn't care the first time I heard the new one. But a few listens in and there are some undeniable gems.

detachment... yeah. half way in and it even feels a bit going-through-the-motionsy so far. gonna listen to shackleton instead.

been really into this new one lately, excellent work

this band has some great form
