SlipLive

it looks like all the headliners are jammy but there's a lot of artists that are REALLY far from the jam scene. Explosions in the Sky, Four Tet, Blackalicious, Steve Malkmus...gives the lineup a little more diversity. this falls on my spring break so I might go down, depending on the ticket price. W...

How the hell did Explosions in the Sky slip in amongst the rest of that lineup?

i got mine at Pure Pop in Burlington, VT on the new releases rack. actually it was sold out on the rack, I had to ask someone to get a copy from the back for me. there The Slip won't be behind Slipknot though, but i don't know if they put The Slip in the "indie rock" section or the "j...

i've heard the same, given that everyone in BSS is in 2 other bands they need time for that. it'll be like the YFIIP-S/T gap of 3 years again, how sad. :( my girlfriend saw them last night back home in Providence, though she had to leave before BSS even started. she did say DMST was one of the best ...

I don't know if they sold Berklee out (I'd doubt it), but I live in Burlington VT and they sold out Higher Ground Monday...my plan was to buy tickets from Pure Pop the same time I bought Eisenhower but no dice.

oh well, there's always RADIODREAD.

happy birthday there champ. welcome to the world of smoking, drinking, strip clubs, and being tried as an adult. it's a good time.

wait never mind on the drinking thing, i lied.

actually none of the things i just mentioned i do regularly, disregard everything.

FUCK GODDAMN ARGHAADJQAQQ

between this and MMW/Scofield 2 days ago I think I'll start buying my tickets for everything way in advance now...

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. definitely my favorite Slip studio album, nearly unseats the two Alive albums as my favorites by them of any kind. Suffocation Keep might be my favorite song of this year. i was worried that the studio would water down their skills but i don't think that's the case (well exc...

i don't see Eisenhower at all on iTunes...

Dan don't be silly. the new YLT album is great, way better than Summer Sun (not as good as that soundtrack album they did though). anyway The Slip. in my opinion...I love the new direction, it's great, but then again in my opinion tightly structured music that goes somewhere is far better than jammi...

well, i don't know what to make of that.

Holy God man, nice review.

well if you're an audiophile then the downloaded copy isn't enough for you so you have to go buy the cd-quality stuff anyway.

and if you're REALLY an audiophile you'll get the vinyl too.

the reason i like BSS is because their studio albums are so dense, there's so much going on it's incredible. You Forgot It In People is one of my favorite albums ever. never seen them live, although i had heard nothing but great things before this.

Broken Social Scene is damn good, Do Make Say Think is the most underrated band of the 00s, except for maybe The Slip. Charles Spearin, who plays bass for both of these bands, is one of the better bassists I've ever heard, he's incredibly innovative, albeit very subtle. anyway I desperately wanted t...
