Good to hear Buckner is finally getting props. Also good to hear about his temper. i saw the same thing here in KC last month. Some dip shit in the audience told him to stop tuning and play. He told her to shut the fuck up and go bother her boyfriend. Strange thing is that he spent 30 minutes before the show with me and my pal shooting the shit like we were brothers.

hey people. i haven't been here in a while, so it's time to catch up on what ya'll have been listening to. As for me, i've spent the last month listening to new Morrissey, The magnetic fields (69 love songs is awesome), Franz Ferdinand, and new Pedro the Lion, among other stuff. It's all good. Rock 'n roll thrives in the independent universe.

Buckner

Post by moonshiner »

All of Buckner's records are top notch. He can be a bit testy tho. While performing a while back and opening for Son Volt there was a noisy bunch in the back and Richard stopped at the end of a song and yelled for the group to "shut the fuck up you c*nts..." They did. And everyone was shocked for all of a few seconds. I wrote him off after that even tho I loved his music live. Then I came across Since. I buy everything he turns out now.

impasse is a great album. met richard last month. probably one of the more personable musicians i've met so far, but i've also heard he can be a wee bit difficult too. but , man, what a record.

hey lukenmo...

i think that pig lib is definitely an exciting record to hear from malkmus; it sounds like he's having a blast. i think you're right about it being a purebred rock 'n' roll album...i only wish it were more consistent. i'm the most hardcore malkmus fan there ever was, but i can't hardly listen to the first half of this record. from track 6 on, i'm hooked, i love everything...but the only song i can stomach from the first half is "do not feed the oyster"...and i don't like it as much as anything after track 5.

i think he should've replaced the first five songs with the EP that came packaged with the first however-many-copies. i love everything on it, especially "old jerry." great song...why didn't it make the cut?

fygmynt, it completely agree with you that "massachussetts" is a great album. it's one of the minimalist masterpieces of the last 10 years, along with the red house painters' "ocean beach" and "songs for a blue guitar," sparklehorses' "good morning spider," eels "electro-shock blues," and more recently beck's "sea change." this is an incredible genre of music--intelligent, emotionally sophisticated, experimental. if i had time i would write a book about the genre. thanks for your comments and welcome, even though i'm relatively new here as well
