Anyone else like these guys? I notice Pitchfork finally got around to giving them a thumbs-up, with the inevitable comparisons to Fiery Furnaces. Which is a fair comparison except AiH is overall a happier, more sesame streety muppety listen - I don't like how FF manage to sound bored and sneery in the midst of their complex "fun" tracks. It just might be my album of the year. |

CT says its good music, but the site is having problems. so CT decided to go to amazon.com *starts drinking his dr.pepper* |

such a great name, this has to be good. |
||||||||
|
|

well that doesn't say much for the beatles now does it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
beatles is a great name. stop to think about it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i mean if they at least wrote one song about beetles, then i could see how it would mean something... and i'm not that knowledgable in the beatles, perhaps they did write something about the insect, but i sure as hell missed it hahah the same could be said with beet. i beet it she beats it , the vegetable...! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe it has something to do with beats ............. just a thought :> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
maybe brittney spears should write a song about spears, and other hand weapons. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know what it means, i'm just saying...well actually what bob is saying here. britney really is a fanatic in hand weaponry it has nothing to do with her last name. so that would put her in the same caliber as that of the beat=les. i'm not saying its not a witty name, it is, but i would prefer architecture in helsinki over the beatles, simply because i dont know where helsinki is. i'm assuming its in europe or something... |
||||||||

|
|
What is the architecture like in Helsinki? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i live in helsinki :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, it's quite nice. there is the old center with jugend-type buildings, and then some lovely 50s functionalism, combined with cool old living areas with small houses and horrible newer concrete places. just like every european capital but with a smaller size maybe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh that must suck for you... but did i forget to mention it sounds like a fun word to say outloud? :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i felt the same way about 'sacramento' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually think helsinki is the nicest city i have ever been to or lived in. and it's kinda nice to say it out loud too. hey, i used to live in a city they call 'the ski capital of finland' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I just did a google image search and it looks lovely. page looks especially nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm sure its a lovely place, i'm saying it sucks for you because you already know about the place. ii'm not saying just cause youre not from europe you must not know where helsinki is but its unlikely for most non europeans to not know about the place... i would like to go there sometime with all this talk about the place. except i wont look at any pictures. i'll just go by plane and surprise myself! |

my favourite area in the center: central |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah well. i'd rather know about the place than live somewhere else :) |
||||||||

turku is much nicer. Last time I went to helsinki, I ended up in the police station. |
||||||||
|
|

mm, the architecture in helsinki's got its good sides and bad sides. I'm no resident (yet), so I won't pass judgement. but, eh, to say that for non-europeans to know of Helsinki is something of a miracle... well, okay? hmm. scary. I would assume people (unless their americans, I guess) care about capital cities somewhat. I even know that Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, and Dar-es-Salaam of Tanzania. Perk up your geography. (but what the fuck is the capital of Austr... Canberra, yes yes!) |

wait this isnt about the autechre tour is it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i absolutely hate turku :) why did you manage to get yourself in the police station? boxbob: i just didn't want to mention that :D the band might be good though. let's not go too far off topic! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really like this music! Bump! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, the samples sound good indeed. i hadn't heard of this band before. thanks for mentioning them! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at first glance i thought the subject said autechre in helsinki. maybe this is where they got the name from. arcitechreur. i'm lame ok |
||||||||
|

this topic is far more entertaining than mine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I will go to helsinki next summer |
||||||||
|
|

This is still one of my fav+ albums of 2005. They are singing muppets, oh! I want to squeeze them. |

it seems to not exist when looking at all those hip top ten lists on sites. how depressing. if i owned pitchfork it would be: 1. the books - lost and safe 2. architecture in helsinki - in case we die 3. sufjan stevens - illinois and that's it. |

well, i'm one of the few who really enjoyed the analord series as well. my old age is keeping me from remembering releases from earlier in the year. |
||||||||
|

i know that feeling. i've been compiling a best-of-things -i've bought-this-year list and it's taken me four days so far. |
