If anyone listened to the album with the same ears they listened to Oracular Spectacular with originally you'll clearly hear the same sound and same lyrical direction. Strangely and sadly it is becoming pretentious hearing everyone say that Congratulations is "hit-less and experimental". All of the hits on Oracular Spectacular were on the first half of the album and I guarantee it is the reason why such songs as Of Moons Birds, & Monsters was not blasted on pre-teen stereos throughout the nation. I don't care hahaha I'm not going to finish this because I'm enjoying the album right now.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2010/03/09/3h4s7p_overly_expensive Tue, 9 Mar 2010 20:50:46 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2010/03/09/3h4s7p_overly_expensive Mon 8 Mar – Puscifer

I bet the show was great but it was too expensive. SORRY.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2009/12/16/3910ds_top_10_of_2009_(complete) Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:29:08 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2009/12/16/3910ds_top_10_of_2009_(complete) Top 10 | 2009

1st

Portugal. The Man | The Satanic Satanist
_{Easily enjoyed it first listen. "this entire album is a masterpiece"
I stated that in August of this year and it hasn't changed yet. Standout
track for me is The Home. Great artwork. Reflective of the uplifting
opener People Say. Double plus is the acoustic album of these tracks.}

2nd

Dinosaur Jr. | Farm
_{Partly branching off of arguments that J Mascis infact sounds nothing
like Eddie Vedder and the fact Mascis has been performing alot longer
has amounted to not only the 2009 release of Farm but the earlier album
Beyond becoming my all time favorites. Just as layered and powerful as
pure guitar, bass, and drums can be. Talent pours every second.
I Don't Wanna Go There contains one of the greatest guitar solos ever.}

3rd

Monsters of Folk | Monsters of Folk
_{The gifts have all lost their wrapping and everything's alright.
You glimpse something box-like still wrapped. Another present.
Stuffed far underneath the tree. That is what this album was
like to me. Talented musicians together sharing ideas and
recording pleasent easy listening music.}

4th

The Antlers | Hospice
_{To say the least I am humbly grateful by the recommendation of this album
by a friend of mine. Thank you. Sure it's in here because it's no different
then what is going on in my life currently but underneath that lies
a very sad piece of art. Sad, sad, sad. Exemplary sad.}

5th

El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez Lopez | Cryptomnesia
_{Classic Omar (this will be coined a definitive term eventually amongst
everyone) + synth bass + a distinctively opposite lyrical path for Cedric =
a brilliant package. If not for the reminder of summer zoo trips then Noir.}

6th

The Mars Volta | Octahedron
_{Oh hey double nomination. Amputechture-esque is primarily my reasoning
behind this being on the list. I won't lie that Bedlam was great last year
but I can only hear so much lead drumming. Any anti-Cedric man or woman
will say that his voice never changes but I enjoy his attempt at singing
like he had lessons. Halo of Nembutals has standout written all over it.}

7th

Rain Machine | Rain Machine
_{Provocative instrumentation. Seemingly raw to the touch.
And Kyp's vocal is outrageously overly expressed to perfection.
And I especially enjoy naked black women riding mystic beasts.}

8th

Arctic Monkeys | Humbug
_{Nothing one-dimensinal about this one. Alex Turner's exceptional
dark vocals and abstract lyrics pulsate throughout. My personal favorite
is Dangerous Animals. For as short as it is, Crying Lightning, the single
off the record has one hell of a watery/lightning solo.}

9th

Atlas Sound | Logos
_{With more focus on quality sound and less filler Bradford Cox,
in my eyes, topped Deerhunter's Microcastle on his own. Guest appearance
tracks are my personal standouts: Walkabout (w/Noah Lennox) and
Quick Canal (w/Laetitia Sadier)}

10th

HORSE the band | Desperate Living
_{I love nintendocore. Nah, just kidding. I do however see fit to include
this album because of it's album cover. Every song is fun. Ewwwww @ fun.
Big Business is where I climax every time.}

Consider this a half ass review of a concert that was more then just good. Acts that had alot of spunk with BMX freestyle intermissions. When I saw him in person I could see what I saw when I first heard his voice. I was transfixed by the sound of his voice. If you ever listened to an album of his and thought to yourself "I cannot listen to music differently" then you have to see his Niggy Tardsut persona. I got to see Saturn after 3 and a half years. You saw them perform together. Almost cry worthy. I used to imagine a happy father and blissful daughter experiencing the world as the perfect family. I saw Saturn perform with her father... I could have only imagine as soon as Amethyst Rockstar was complete for the first time in my ears.


YOU HAVE TO SEE SAUL WILLIAMS. That's all.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2009/08/29/2z2gtg_boogie_monster%27s_charity_case Sat, 29 Aug 2009 17:38:21 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2009/08/29/2z2gtg_boogie_monster%27s_charity_case Charity Case
The Boogie Monster

One in the same really. Rhythms and beats are so similar.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2009/08/08/2xa5nr_great_concert_in_which_i_did_not_attend Sat, 8 Aug 2009 02:50:08 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2009/08/08/2xa5nr_great_concert_in_which_i_did_not_attend Fri 7 Aug – Cursive


Is it still going on? I don't know! Cause I'm not there! Yessssss thank god for being broke as a mother fucker.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2009/07/25/2w7joa_our_father_%7C_my_father%3F Sat, 25 Jul 2009 23:45:42 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2009/07/25/2w7joa_our_father_%7C_my_father%3F Our Father

It's like glass. You know because I can see through it. If it's spiritualness which he is calling for then so be it but I am solely carbon ready to be released to float in an infinite atmosphere. Are carbon ghosts able to get goosebumps?]]> http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2009/06/27/2twi5w_why_last.fm%3F Sat, 27 Jun 2009 19:44:54 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2009/06/27/2twi5w_why_last.fm%3F Did you take my account away? I fucking loved it. Was addicted since 2006. I want it back. It holds so many scrobbles and had alot of cool friends. And I had a bunch of cool tags and tags for artists who I want to listen to more. But I can't recall any of it. I MISS IT!]]> http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2009/03/19/2kvuv2_in_rainbows_is..._tasty%3F Thu, 19 Mar 2009 23:19:29 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2009/03/19/2kvuv2_in_rainbows_is..._tasty%3F In Rainbows

On a casual stroll through my beloved neighborhood I took notice to the construction of each of the songs on Radiohead's latest album, In Rainbows. What I came up with was that every noise, beat, and rhythm used in the album sounds like it was trash picked and/or bought from a second hand store and skillfully crafted into a fresh fondue of delicious cheddar cheese.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2008/12/30/2d5db2_i_feel_complete_again Tue, 30 Dec 2008 20:19:12 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/jonesoobala/journal/2008/12/30/2d5db2_i_feel_complete_again And I thought I was okay when I had my computer and stereo system. Now I can move with my music I feel even more so. So so in fact I feel like buying a shit load of music. I just did actually. Zune Marketplace is a nice place. I bought Motion Sickness and Oracular Spectacular.]]>
