so it’s Ultimatum again who are releasing J’s new album in the US. Hopefully they’ll do a tremendous promotion campaign on it (compared to what they did for More Light…).
As I don’t know how fast the records are in the shops here, I’m thinking about preordering it from the Ultimatum site that deepsludge posted (thanks <img> ), but I’ve got my doubts about the delivery time from the US to Europe… maybe City Slang will offer something comparable for us poor Jaron-dissed ( <img> ) Europeans?
However, I’m looking forward to the upcoming releases <img> <img> <img>

hey priss, thanks for the review! <img> Always nice to hear new reviews of J’s recent shows – seems, I can’t get enough of them <img>
And those rowdies shouldn’t fight, they should listen ! <img>
hope, your head is doing better already <img>

[FlyingCloud]

yeah Allison, it could have been me <img> someone sent me these two songs through the AG group, actually … <img>

I’m using WinMX, too. I’m not too happy with it, but well … it works. I’m FlyingCloud365 there <img>
If I don’t find something that should be there, because it’s not too obscure, I just hit the search button again. Seems it sometimes searches on different servers.
I tried to add more networks (a so called expert-only function they have) but that doesn’t seem to help very much.

AnthonyG interviewed J in March this year, and he asked J this question:
</font><blockquote><font>quote:</font><hr><font> Anthony: How is More Light doing? Is it selling well or has it sold well compared to previous Dinosaur releases ?
J: Oh, no, not really. I don’t think the label did too much with it here. It did pretty good in Japan, and okay in Europe, but America, not to good.
</font><hr></blockquote><font>

hey Carl.
I guess, just to mention , that a site on the www exists is not illegal in itself… <img>
I put an answer to your question in Open Topic: ( here )
as I thought it would lead a bit too far away from "Dino for when" … <img>

Here’s an overview over mp3 downloading platforms in the
post-Audiogalaxy-world as far as I know.
Completion or correction is welcome… <img>

I think KaZaA is the biggest mp3 platform now. The problem with KaZaA is, that it forces you to d/l a load of spyware, which tells the spyware-owner about everything you do on your PC (and it slowed down my PC dramatically). There is also KaZaA lite (it delivers KaZaA without spyware) but this site seems to be down at the moment <img>
By the way: To remove spyware from the PC you can d/l, install and run the program ad-aware .

Another big site for mp3’s is WinMX , which has no spyware. There are enough users there, so one can find rare songs, too.
They have functions like multi-sourced downloading, where you d/l one file from several users at the same time, which goes really fast.

The others like blubster , grokster or filetopia (and some others more) seem to have not so many users online, so that it is difficult to find the rarer stuff (but I might be wrong…) filetopia still hasn’t got the new version up, with which they promise to launch groups etc.

gnutella seems to be big, too, but I haven’t got experience with it.

None of these programs is fully comparable to AG, though. I’m missing the easy satellite queuing (no thinking about which user is online, who has which file etc), the search by genre, the groups, of course… <img>

sarsaparilly, thank you for your detailed review of the Portland show <img>

sounds like there are many aching teeth out there <img>

[FlyingCloud]

happy birthday, Spaceboy (or however your name’s today <img> ) have a nice day <img>

[FlyingCloud]

King me Baby: of course Dinosaur Jr. – Alone!

also:
Red House Painters – Between days (very epic – love it)
Sonic Youth – Karen Revisited (wonderful song, was great live, too, with minutes of pure noise in the end)
Built to Spill – Broken chairs (could go on and on forever)

[FlyingCloud]

Neil Diamond – Song sung blue <img>

[FlyingCloud]

deepsludge, you’ve got it good: No neighbours?! <img>

I’ve got no TV at all, and the radio program is crap (except of freakscene radio of course) so I’ve got many occasions to let my CD player work.
And for me, Dino is perfect when I’m forced to do taxes or the likes. Wrong music when you have to concentrate is definitely disturbing <img>

Carl., if you just look around on this site (in open topic, for example: here ), you will find many many hints leading to other fine music, that’s worth while to listen to. I discovered many other bands I like here on this site.
By the way: I like the Name ‘Carl.’ with the space.
Sounds like: "Carl. Definitely. That’s all." <img> <img>

[FlyingCloud]

I listened to Dino records so many times, I couldn’t define a particular time of day for a Dino record anymore.
Generally: Dino records don’t work for me in the morning before coffee (nothing does <img> ) and I like to listen to them especially when I have to concentrate.

Come – German song
Pixies – the holiday song
Modest Mouse – call to dial-a-song
Hellacopters – no song unheard
Velvet Underground – black angel’s death song
My Bloody Valentine – moon song
Red House Painters – silly love songs

thanks for the funny quotes <img>
Must have been painful for Sabbath to be hated by their own ‘peer group’ <img>
