In the shops now new Sub Pop comp called Terminal Sales Vol. 2 This Delicious. Has Endless Yesterday on it - track 10. Dirt cheap comp - picked it up for £2.99. Has 16 tracks - highlighting new Sub Pop stuff. To tell ya the truth it only really gets going (for me) with the Mudhoney track. Then ya got ya Comets On Fire, Dead Moon and Wolf Eyes kicking it. Plus some stuff new to me I'm digging - Pissed Jeans (I love that name!!) and Tall Birds too.
Sadly lots of stuff I'm not really feeling too but hey personal opinions and all ... check it out!

wow that's cool. There is on it CSS (Cansei De Ser Sexy) which is a Brazilian band and a Brazilian friend is friend of them, so I guess they must be cool. I haven't heard that much of this band but they sounded ok  |

I don't know really. Thermals have been around a while - not really my cup of tea. Kinda felt unmoved by Band Of Horses too.
CCS are getting some press in the UK I know that - I kinda dig what I've heard so far. Sounds ok in a funky !!!/Rapture kind of way. But on the whole far more interested in checking out more Pissed Jeans and Tall Birds.

I have two Sub Pop compilations. They were set up at the counter of a music store in Amsterdam and I remember they were pretty cheap. Sub Pop-Patient Zero woke my interest in Wolf Eyes actually. Their latest album, Human Animal, is quite interesting by the way, less harsh than Burned Mind, more versatile and more references to stuff like Black Dice, to who they're somehow always compared to.
Pissed Jeans are really cool, never heard of Band Of Horses. The Thermals have had their hype in Holland a few years ago already, righ after More Parts Per Millions I believe.

about The Thermals I was reading this interview on Pitchforkmedia (  ) and I found this little part kinda interesting.  Pitchfork: You've been on Sub Pop for a while, and sometimes I forget that the label's been around so long that some of the bands they're singing now might be influenced by the first wave of Sub Pop bands. Is there anyone on that label that you look up to or borrow from? HH: Yeah, totally. When we first signed, in one of the first press kits we were saying that if you took the early Sub Pop grunge, like Nirvana and Mudhoney, and mixed it with what you'd call the middle era of Sub Pop, like Sebadoh and Eric's Trip, you'd get the Thermals. We were so excited to be on Sub Pop because so many bands we grew up with and were really directly influenced by were all on Sub Pop. So like if Lou Barlow and Mark Arm had made a band together, it would sound like the Thermals. |
