Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week

"You totally forgot the new Guns N Roses. "

good point. I added a note.

REM's reissue of Murmur does not come out with "a bonus disc of b-sides and unreleased material." it comes with a full, unreleased live concert from the '80s which is incredible. do your research.

Son, you've got to quit the crack pipe before it kills you. Put down the pipe, take a shower for once and get a job you mooch.

new Kanye is amazing

Ditto. A complete homerun of an album. Paranoid rules.

WHY?

i like largehearted boy and i like his site, but i'm sorry, dude is just bad at this. almost every week he forgets the biggest release (see guns n roses) and he rarely gives any props to hip hop (kayne is not what i'm talking about). also, fennesz deserves a shout out. i'm not a fan, but he has a devout following, many of which make up this sites readership. whenever he writes that its a bad week he might as well be saying "it's a bad week for american indie rock created by people who love rem and the velvet underground".

On one hand, I am an individual, who hopes for a private life; wow goldon the other hand, I am a mother with depths of love for her child. Life is disaperate if you suffer but can't do anything to make a change. And you just hold that the odds are for us. But you always feel the reality is against you....

Heyo, for those of you who didn't get the Badd Santa compilation, I'm telling you- PICK THAT UP! last year Urban Outfitters were selling it and playing it in their store. It's an awesome CD but there is one special track which shines on it, by vocoder master Bruce Haack. You gotta hear this, Bruce Haack- I Like Christmas. The whole CD is a kick ass soundtrack to your electrofilthy holiday party.
