I've been listening to this band lately and they're good, very good. I only listened to 'Lovelyville' for now, not sure what to check next. 'Strangers from the Universe', maybe?
Anyway 2x4s is a favorite for now, but they're all good, even those filler 'songs'. It's really a bummer that there are only 10 responses in this thread all the way from 2006. Maybe people don't know about them like how I didn't know all these years. The name was familiar, but never really bothered to check them out. And how glad I am that I did.

They're one of those bands I think 'I really should get some of their stuff' and then 5 minutes later see something else & get that instead.

^I know what you mean. I have that same problem with some bands. But in this case, only their name was familiar, I didn't even have an idea what kind of music they play. For all I know they could have been some hardcore punk band. That was until they began popping up as a recommendation on last.fm, I mean really persistently. And so I checked them out. So far, last.fm recommendations have been great for me.

Maybe because it was the first I heard, but that album is my favourite. I'm a huge fan of this band now, largely thanks to the wonderful Cardboard's links back in 2007. Lovelyville, Mother Of All Saints and Strangers From The Universe are their best albums, I highly recommend them all though! |

^Thanks Gravity! One can always count on your recommendations. Yeah, I saw that 'Strangers from the Universe' and 'Lovelyville' have the best rating on allmusic. Not that it means much, but it can be a guideline sometimes. That's why I checked Lovelyville first and been meaning to get the other one next.

Allmusic is usually a decent enough guideline, although their rating for Mother Of All Saints is far too low I reckon. But yeah, I've used Allmusic for a long time for the purposes of deciding which album to check out first by a band I'm interested in, it's a handy wee resource.

They're back together for ATP, one gig apparently.
Big Boi (Outkast), Terry Riley, Thinking Fellers head new Animal Collective ATP additions - All Tomorrow's Parties Would absolutely LOVE to see this band live. Can't afford to go to ATP though, and it's not the best lineup anyway. Let's hope they tour! |

The thing that annoys me about ATP is that they hold their events in May and December usually - which is the two months of the year in which I have exams at university. That said, if the line-up is good enough, then sometimes I'm unable to stop myself going. Like when the Jesus Lizard reformed, etc. **** exams when you could be watchin' David Yow live |
