bitte orca is my fave album of the year but i completely get what you are saying, dave longstretch makes the greatest shortest hooks. there are lots of songs i wish would stay in one place just a little longer.

i hated bitte orca at first, but then “no intention” hooked me. it’s about the only thing i can listen to on the album.

fantastic amadeus quote, though. one of my favorite movies.

Same here, Frank. Happy others love them, but they are not for me.

i think fred falke’s remix of grizzly bear is the best grizzly bear tune

I completely agree about The DPs, Frank!

the love for dirty projectors and grizzly bear is also lost on me. they are obviously talented folks who make music lots of people love, but it just doesnt register with me at all. you know what throw in fiery furnaces in that mix. ?:(

thank goodness you said so….I enjoy a couple of tracks here and there, but I can’t seem to get into either Dirty Projectors or Grizzly Bear the same way everyone else has.

Nice to know that there’s someone out there that agrees with me. I tried a number of times to get into this record but just couldn’t. It’s not that it’s bad, it just didn’t hit me.

I totally agree with you on this one, I want to love this record, everyone seems to. But I can’t get into it. There are a couple tracks that I like but overall, I just don’t get it.

Big plus on this show though is tUnEyArDs opening, I saw her open for Think About Life during OTTF, and her set was breath-taking, probably one of the greatest opening band sets I have seen this year.
