I have such the hard time casting these votes! For the one hand, is so much CTNDA for me, is #1. But then also, the Exploders Drawinged is #1 also. Two #1!!! Last album I am to listen to is the Explodered, of the four sides of record. So Explodering, you are #1, today!

These lifestyle of active, you have the great song Thermals. But you are maybe the #4 best album. You are not even This Eclipser. TAL you are not #1!! No way!!

However, that mailbox is looking pretty full. A lot of space could be freed up if we delete the sent files. I've never used gmail before and I don't want to fuck anything up....does anyone care if I go in and delete the sent files? Who's the goddamn administrator in this place?



gmail has a "terrabyte" of space ( a bunch) it'll be fine for other stuff.


thanks for posting the show!

No, no, no. Big Youth and Secret Stars. You'll love 'em. Unless, of course, you hate 'em.

I thought all of their songs sounded like sonic youth's "starpower"... ah well...

I voted Exploded Drawing... Snowstorm in Iowa and Crumbling Down being the primary reasons.

Celebrate the New Dark Age is the reason Polvo is one of my favorite bands of all time.

Today's Active Lifestyles is my favorite of their records.

I've tried SO HARD to get into Shapes and I can't.

bloated. not as good as Shapes. I'll start a poll.


Start a poll, Kerble. On that thread, I will defeat Shapes with Exploded Drawing. Then I will FINISH Shapes with their best record, TAL. You think the best Polvo recording is the one without Eddie Watkins? We'll see who's the real tiara fetishist.

At least, if you enjoy Rock Post Rock and d.d. (s.r.), perhaps you enjoy Black Taj?



Eddie Watkins plays on half of shapes.


what's "Black Taj"?


with Colonial Arms,

In terms of the lineup, it's almost Polvo: Dave and Steve, sometimes with Brian Walsby on drums and at least for a while, Ash behind the board. More here and here.

It is also an exact copy of the Taj Mahal in black marble. Pretty impressive. But I´m sticking with red libanon.
