    Yep, I like this album. Saw these guys a few weeks ago with Caveman in Brooklyn, good show.

    Yep, good album bought the vinyl last week. You can tell Kurt Vile was in the band.

    if you are implying me, I don't, but thanks for the productive response.

    I don't listen to radio, have been cableless for 6 years, don't read magazines. I subscribe to record store news letters in and around my area, go to lots of live shows and listen to friends, and even use this forum to discover new music. i don't have anything telling me what is the next best thing or what is hot right now. I use my personal filter and I like what I like. that could be kreayshawn, to Yuck, to the new wu-tang to The War on Drugs to the Field, etc, etc.


    This band is something I like. A lot. Sorry if it was in a hipster blog you came across, but really who cares.

    Saw The War On Drugs last night in Bristol, great show on board a ship which has been converted into a gig venue. Maybe 300 people there for the last night of the UK tour, we got treated to 100 mins of awesomeness. So Kurt Vile isn't in the band any more, and some will probably think they're the worse for it, but the stuff from Wagonwheel Blues sounded no worse for his loss. They can stand on their own without his currently popular name, good though he is.

    Think they played nearly all of both albums, with a couple from the EP thrown in too, too busy enjoying it to take notes, though took a few pics which I'll sort and link in. Highlights for me were Best Night, a stunning cover of A Pagan Place by The Waterboys (here's the same but from the Electric Ballroom 2 nights previous - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aBmsmgK ... re=related), Black Water Falls, Buenos Aires Beach and closer A Needle In Your Eye #16.

    They're on tour through the US from the middle of this month. Go see 'em. It'll be cheap, and they put on a damn good show.
