Album Review – Boston Spaceships – The Planets Are Blasted

Posted in Album Reviews on July 7th, 2009 by corpo

This album is the surprise album of the year for me so far. Not best album of the year, but something I didn’t think I would enjoy so much. I’ve always somewhat enjoyed Guided By Voices and I thought their best of compilation was awesome. But this new album by Boston Spaceships might be my favorite thing Robert Pollard has done. It’s good ol’ indie rock done proper along the same lines as Guided By Voices. The drumming seems better then GBV though and the songs seem more consistent. The song “Keep Me Down” is so good I’ve considered skating to it for my Off The Couch part if somehow I decided to not use a Dinosaur Jr song (impossible).Rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆bostonspaceships.com

Dinosaur Jr – See You. Song of the Day

Posted in Dinosaur Jr is the greatest band ever, Song Of The Day on July 7th, 2009 by corpo

Maybe it’s more like song of the century, but that would be competing with every other song on Farm which absolutely and completely kicks ass. The part where the song really starts rocking at 4:55 is mind blowing every single time. It explodes into a solo that takes you into outer space and then you get destroyed again by the next tune ‘I Don’t Want To Go There’. Best album ever? Maybe.
