ahh, that's rad. drum's not dead was my favourite of last year... or was it the year before? anyway, it was fantastic and such a departure compared to their previous stuff. i wonder if they'll do the dvd with 78023 videos thing again.

*my favourite of last year... or was it the year before? *

I just confused myself with the very same thing! pretty sure it was last year...

early last year, prolly. i really overdosed on it last summer and could only really return recently.

I only jumped on the bandwagon late, adn I haven't over listened, so its cool. I think I haven't quite unravelled all the layers yet.

awesome. this'll be good,

i never got around to watching the video's anyway.

you should. a few of them are really cool.

Broken Witch is one of my favourite songs of recent years.

Bump for those whose patronage M+N does NOT enjoy later in the evening...

...good...

WTF? Why didn't I see this earlier...

cannae wait! but c'mon...self-titled? for a band with some of the best album/track names that's somewhat of a cop-out!

Well, thats not the only thing that is more conventional about this record. Apparently its the most straightforward thing they have done thus far...

hmmm will be interesting no doubt...have you heard the new song that was given away on some free compilation...'Sunset Rodeo'? I think it may hint towards the new direction. Really good.

Can't say I have. Sounds good though...

it's on a free adult swim compilation called warm & scratchy you can download off the internet.

Ah, I have heard about that. I'll go and find it right now!

ooh... warm & scratchy

curious to hear a more "straightforward" liars. they're like the one band i'd forgive for going a bit more normal

Yep, its coming right now. Its got Liars AND 120 Days AND TVOTR AND Les Savy Fav AND Asobi Seksu AND The Brother Kite AND BSS AND the Raveonettes AND more. Nice one...

They're one of the best bands going around, can't wait to hear the nembie.

that's an excellent email address.

Nah, I liked the last album. Thought it was good in parts, great in others. Not a patch on Drum's though.

I've seen them three times. The best gig I saw was when they played that dodgy Livid festival at Rod Laver. Man that was one strange gig.

Fair enough but personally- I am close to throwing the last album out its so crap.

when i get really upset with a band or album i melt the record on the stove, i have a small collection of them hanging in my house

Thanks Basil!

I am still hung up on They threw us in a trench.....Drum's Not Dead is a very close second. Not a fan of the latest album. I tried so hard to like it :-(

i love the last album. but i love drum's not dead even more.

Thanks for the back-up adm!

i'm your boy, astral.

That you are, sir, that you are.

pure unevil alone makes the record worth whatever you paid for it.

HEB said 16 hours ago: Split up??

you are so quick to jump to conclusions. did you think that perhaps the post refers to the fact that the country they live in has just elected a new president?

I just got an email from Aaron Hemphill: ''Not true...bizarre how such a positive post could be taken off in such a tangent...though I like the creativity.'' erm, yeah, sorry, false alarm, carry on, New Liars to come- YAY!

hooray!

in other news: you suck, HEB.

phew!

haha. shit, i was wondering why i couldn't see the connections being drawn.

I've seen them three times. The best gig I saw was when they played that dodgy Livid festival at Rod Laver. Man that was one strange gig.

I recall they played a lot of stuff from the then unreleased second album. Opening with Broken Witch - I enjoyed it a lot.
