sorry eric, i love "silver." as good as anything else on the record.

Nov 6 captain underpants commented on The Morning News.

big fan of the morning looney tunes feature. i'm afraid that these cartoons are lost to members of my generation and those younger than me (im 24). they're pure genius and should remain in syndication for the duartion of time.

Nov 5 captain underpants commented on Dirty Projectors @ Neumos.

no sweat. and re: byrne, i don't think its a wrong comparison at all per se, just one of the really common links people point to that i don't think would be quite as common if the collab didn't happen. the onion av club acutally did a funny interview w/ him a few weeks back exclusively on his take about what other journalists say he sounds like. check it out.

they did when the world comes to an end on fallon (or conan?) a few weeks ago and there's you tubes out there, check em out. ascending melody is from the temecula sunrise EP that may come out one day (it wasn't at the show last night), which has a few BO leftovers on it, one being ascending melody.

for the record, the closer "when the world comes to an end" (the laurie anderson hiccuping one...written for the piece they performed w/ bjork this spring) and the 2nd song of the set "ascending melody" are "new" DPs material. although this tour has been going on forever, i think you're being a bit hard on em dave the relentless touring is exactly why they had the audience they did last night. i honestly believe this is the best band of 2009 and they did provide us w/ 2 songs written this year that are not on their lauded release of the same year, so you gotta give em some credit there :).

2nd time i've seen them and it was just as phenomenal as when i saw them in may. didn't cathc the chop suey show, unfortunately. a few things w/ that review though...

they closed w/ "when the world comes to an end" i'm pretty sure, not "GGG." also, i know people LOVE the dave longstreth : david byrne analogy, but i don't think people would make that comparison nearly as much if they didn't collaborate on knotty pine, although i do see some parallels.

love dave's demeanor and the fact that they don't banter (and the shreds of banter they did provide about layne stayley = GOLD)

i agree, that was the most packed show i've seen at neumos in ages, and i see probably at least 2 shows there a month. they're totally ready for the showbox, which is definitely a weird notion that they're that big, but also welcome b/c the showbox rules and so do dirty projectors.

washing machine gets my vote, but rather ripped is not a bad pick either. murray street is not underrated, most people say that's their best record this decade, many people say it's their best record since dirty.

listening to sister right now, then EJSTNS, in anticipation.

stopped by today and picked up a few disks (nearly bought a copy of songs about fucking ala post #12, actually).

one of the things that most rules about cellophane is that their price stickers don't gum up the front of the jewel case, and they're not impossible to get off either.

Jun 5 captain underpants commented on And Then There Were None.

fuck. after a few years of record/CD shopping in seattle, i finally made my first purchases at cellophane square last weekend, at least in part b/c a few months ago i resolved to never again go into an indie record store w/out buying at least one item. its a nice place and a damn shame that they'll be gone. all the best to their staff and god forbid anything shitty goes into that space.
