[Shaan]

They are the record lable Rilo Kiley are on. They have the most wonderful artists. So, assuming you know of Saddle-Creek Records you would like other bands from them.

i haven't listened to moby in aaaaaages

[Tapeworm]

Annoying.

[citizen_erased269]

I been listening to little else but Radiohead lately. They are absolutely amazing. Check out the album OK Computer to see what I mean.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Heh, think you'll find just about everyone on this forum has. But welcome all the same!

[Master Arkam Kannon]

They are the record lable Rilo Kiley are on. They have the most wonderful artists. So, assuming you know of Saddle-Creek Records you would like other bands from them.
What else are you into?

they left saddle creek. and the only good bands on saddle creek are the faint, broken spindles and cursive.

[Zappa]

Pinskey from Salute Your Shorts is in Rilo Kiley.

How nuts is that?

[Doctor D.]

Pinskey from Salute Your Shorts is in Rilo Kiley.

How nuts is that?

Wha?

[Iris]

they left saddle creek. and the only good bands on saddle creek are the faint, broken spindles and cursive.

+ bright eyes, and the good life.

[Zappa]

Don't you remember the show Salute Your Shorts from Nickelodeon, Doc?

There was a character on it named Pinskey. I think he came in with the second season. The actor who played him is now the lead guitarist in Rilo Kiley.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Pinskey from Salute Your Shorts is in Rilo Kiley.

How nuts is that?

yeah, back when they first released their first lp, i saw them open for Ozma in a little bar. someone was like, that's pinksy (and joey the rat from boy meets world) but dont call him that, his name is blake. the hidden track on their first album is called "Salute My Shorts."

[Master Arkam Kannon]

+ bright eyes, and the good life.

i stand by what i said.

[Iai]

Today I have mostly been diggin' Fleetwood Mac's Rumours.

I dug it out today for the first time in a few years, and I can't believe how good it is. I never remember it being that good, or even good at all. Then again, since I last listened to it, I've been through a lot and aged a lot. Plus I have a much broader taste now than then. So, yeah, it surprised me.

[Well_Respected_Man]

I've been grooving to Soft Machine's Thrid all day long. "Moon In June" will be my favorite song for a long time.

[Happymeal]

I dunno but I just can't get into Bright Eyes for some reason.

Pinback's Offcell EP has been keeping me occupied for the past 2 hours.

[Tapeworm]

I love Bright Eyes. I seem to have to say that non-stop.

I've been diggin on Little Birdy still.

[Iris]

I also love bright eyes, and I have been diggin' the blood brothers a lot today.

[dkmaddog]

I am completely stuck on the Fiery Furnaces right now. The album Blueberry Boat is a must buy. Anybody else into the Fiery Furncaces?

[asymm]

I am completely stuck on the Fiery Furnaces right now. The album Blueberry Boat is a must buy. Anybody else into the Fiery Furncaces?
I think Scott Herren's a pretty big fan :lol:

But, yeah, Blueberry Boat is amazing. My personal album of the year. Saw them live earlier this year and had them sign a copy for me. Amazing evening getting to chat with Matt and Eleanor.

[dkmaddog]

Yeah, they played at Little Brothers here in Columbus earlier this year and I missed them. I will never forgive myself for that....

[Doctor D.]

Don't you remember the show Salute Your Shorts from Nickelodeon, Doc?

Yes, I know and remember..."Wha?" is my term of "How awesome"

[Tangy zizzle]

Dig list:

White Stripes
Lightning Bolt
Arlo Guthrie
the song "Goodnight Saigon" by Billy Joel

ans, Hot Snakes have now won themselves a place in my top 5. Good for them!

[clown_phobia]

tell me about modest mouse. please?

[Tangy zizzle]

They're band. They play indie-rock. They've recently struck it big with a song called "float on" which is from their recent album Good news for people who love Bad News.

[The Ashtray Girl]

They're band.

Excuse me? Correct your grammar and phrasing, good sir, that sentence doesn't even make sense.

[Tapeworm]

Tangy digs the Stripes??? woah.

[Badmoon]

I just bought Queens of the Stone Age - R. Great album. From "Better Living through Chemistry" down, each song is fantastic.

[Iai]

Today I mostly enjoyed a mixed bag containing John Lee Hooker, Billie Holiday, The Clash, and DJ Shadow.

[Tangy zizzle]

Tangy digs the Stripes??? woah.

Dude, I love the Stripes. Dunno why you'd think otherwise...?

[Iai]

Because their last album sucked a fat one?

[milkandlaxatives]

their last album was so-so, but the stripes do rock. you gotta admit.
i listened to stp all day

[milkandlaxatives]

Today I mostly enjoyed a mixed bag containing John Lee Hooker, Billie Holiday, The Clash, and DJ Shadow.

billie holiday is the ****, bro. nice work. :thumb:

[Iai]

their last album was so-so, but the stripes do rock. you gotta admit.
i listened to stp all day
Yeah, De Stijl and White Blood Cells were great. I really like Jolene, too.

Elephant, on the other hand, was horrid. Really, really horrid.

[YDload]

Yeah, De Stijl and White Blood Cells were great. I really like Jolene, too.

Elephant, on the other hand, was horrid. Really, really horrid.

Horrid enough to be on Rolling Stone's list of top 500 albums of all time?

Man, I hate that magazine.

[Tapeworm]

Dude, I love the Stripes. Dunno why you'd think otherwise...?
Yeah, I was trolleyed last night, everything was a big shock.

I agree completely with Iai. I love the first 3 albums a lot. Elephant is pretty good, but yeah.

[milkandlaxatives]

mmm, garbage

[CrazyLegsMC]

Carina Round (female rock)
Neutral Milk Hotel (in the airplane over the sea)
Elliott Smith (either or, xo, self-titled)
Josh Radin (www.joshuaradin.com check out "Winter" its simply wonderful)
Magnet (Check out his cover of Lay Lady Lay, its real nice)

[Happymeal]

I'm really liking Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra's "Hypocrite" right now. I need more stuff like this in my life.

[AK47]

Neutral Milk Hotel. Bitches.

[Zappa]

Shakti.

I'd always written this off as a white guy trying to play brown for very extended periods, but I'm starting to dig it. Neat.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Today I'm digging Handsome Boy Modeling School, most excellent.

[Bartender]

Through the glories of internet radio, I just heard a song by a band called Of Montreal. It was pretty good. Anybody know if they are worth looking into further?

[Tomahawk]

I've been digging Patty Griffin. I hadn't even heard of her before a few days ago, but she's a bit awesome.

And I've been re-digging Missy Higgins.

[Iai]

Horrid enough to be on Rolling Stone's list of top 500 albums of all time?

Man, I hate that magazine.
Then why make a thread about it? :mad:

[Zappa]

Today I'm digging Handsome Boy Modeling School, most excellent.


Cool!

[Iai]

For a clue of what I'm listening to now, please refer to Zappa's avatar.

[the glorious monster]

I love Broken Social Scene, They're one of my new favorite bands. I can't get the album "You Forgot It In People" out of my CD player.
Some good songs:

KC Accidental
Almost Crimes
I Slept With Bonhomme at the CBC
Lovers Spit
Blues for Uncle Gibb
Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl

Great band. check them out.

[JimNasium]

here's a list of the stuff i've been into lately.

dredg (favorite of all time)
mogwai
godspeed you! black emperor (really amazing stuff)
mr. bungle
opeth
seeded skies
victor wooten

all that except bungle some of opeth is pretty mellow stuff

[Zappa]

Through the glories of internet radio, I just heard a song by a band called Of Montreal. It was pretty good. Anybody know if they are worth looking into further?

I know WRM really likes them.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Indeed I do, although they may be a little too poppy at times. The two albums they have worth cheking out are Satanic Panic in The Attic and Gay Parade. Bartender Try the songs "Penelope" and "Spike The Senses" :)

[Iai]

I'm digging on Ulver and Explosions In The Sky right about now.

[Well_Respected_Man]

I just listened to Tago Mago for the first time, it's a weird blob of reverb, delay and strange noises, I'll think I'm going to like it.

[Iai]

Tage Mago is awesome.

[Tangy zizzle]

coughivebeensayingthatforagesahemcough

Hot Water Music's latest The New What Next is a very good album. Been listening to it a lot today. That and Yes by Morphine.

Blindside... what can I say

[CrazyLegsMC]

Through the glories of internet radio, I just heard a song by a band called Of Montreal. It was pretty good. Anybody know if they are worth looking into further?

There another band on the Elephant 6 label i think, or they at least have strong connections with E6 bands. Anyways, I think they're alright. Definately got some cool songs. Theres a funny one called "Wish You Were Born a Girl"

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm listening to a whole bunch of new songs I just scabbed off my brother's computer. My Red Cell, Modest Mouse, TV On the Radio, and heaps of other stuff.

[Happymeal]

I've been listening to the 3 songs on Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's page on Epitonic, as well as Antibalas.

I saw a Dirty Three album on Best Buy yesterday:eek:

[biografiend]

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
The Unicorns

[ecstacy]

I've been listening 2 the distillers the used and my chemical romance alot recently. Hoping 2 see the used my chemical romance and rammstein nxt year :-)

[Master Arkam Kannon]

I've been listening 2 the distillers the used and my chemical romance alot recently. Hoping 2 see the used my chemical romance and rammstein nxt year :-)

you might be better suited to the pop punk forum.

[Luxor]

So far today I've listened to:

Prefuse 73 - Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives
Nick Drake - Pink Moon

[Iris]

Murder by Death, Elliott Smith, and Alexisonfire have been rocking my musical boat lately.

[Robert Crumb]

Through the glories of internet radio, I just heard a song by a band called Of Montreal. It was pretty good. Anybody know if they are worth looking into further?

I concur with the WRM, they are excessively happy/poppy. To a fault. Their latest (Satanic Panic in the Attic) and their first (Cherry Peel) I'd say are definitely worth checking out, though. The Gay Parade, too, if you're feeling cheeky.

Edit: Oh, and their covers are great. :thumb:

[Happymeal]

Holy ****. I've been listening to !!! and other bands that sound like them for the past 30 minutes(on Epitonic.com). I think I've found my true love.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Hope it works out :naughty:

[biografiend]

Holy ****. I've been listening to !!! and other bands that sound like them for the past 30 minutes(on Epitonic.com). I think I've found my true love.
I reviewed their CD Louden Up Now in CD Reviews. Very good band.

GoGoGoAirheart and Pinback are my two discoveries for the day.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

I reviewed their CD Louden Up Now in CD Reviews. Very good band.

GoGoGoAirheart and Pinback are my two discoveries for the day.

<3 the Pinback.

My computer's soundcard is on the fritz and the only stereo in the house is in the same room as the tv, which would disrupt daddy's channel surfing, so I've mostly been digging my own geetar playing lately. A bit of Galactic Cowboys and Beulah when I can squeeze in some stereo time.

[Tangy zizzle]

Afghan Whigs' Congregation is great.

The Blues Explosion. What can I say?

[YDload]

Hey, MTV2's "Subterranean" is playing Muse's video for "Hysteria" right now. That sure is some cool distorted bass playing right there!

Strangely enough, even though I've heard people talk about this band on and off ever since I've been on MX, this is the first time I've seen the video. And just last night, I heard the song on the radio too! It's all coming up at once, it seems.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Holy ****. I've been listening to !!! and other bands that sound like them for the past 30 minutes(on Epitonic.com). I think I've found my true love.

!!! is a brilliant live band for dancing. I saw them first when they opened for Modest Mouse and i couldnt stay still.

[YDload]

!!! is a brilliant live band for dancing. I saw them first when they opened for Modest Mouse and i couldnt stay still.

How were they announced? As "Three exclamation points?"

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Chik Chik Chik is what they were called at the modest mouse show, but when i saw them solo they were called Pow Pow Pow. They can be called anything with one sylabel 3 times.

[OrbDragon]

Handsome Boy Modeling School
Ella Fitzgerald
Al Green
Cocteau Twins
The Avalanches
DJ Krush

Good times

[Tangy zizzle]

You don't listen to a lot of music do you?

[YDload]

You don't listen to a lot of music do you?

What are you talking about? Regardless of when their last album was released, Muse hasn't been very big in America. I was merely mentioning it because it was an instance when people were likely to be "diggin" the same song simultaneously, and I wondered if anyone had seen it previously. Assuming they lived in the UK or somewhere where Muse videos are shown more frequently.

[Tangy zizzle]

I don't follow.

Have you started buying CD's yet dude?

[YDload]

What do you care? You're just here to antagonize me in every post I make. Besides, I'm waiting for Christmas to get more music, now that I know how Amazon.com works.

[Tangy zizzle]

Easy on there sunshine.

I'm genuinely interested, ok?

[Tangy zizzle]

I'm still heavily diggin' The New What Next. Hot Water Music are a really tight band.

[Tapeworm]

My band made a tape and, in all honesty, I have been listening to it all day today.

[Tomahawk]

Been diggin some Beck and Eskimo Joe.

Also, I've been liking Bright Eyes' new song, Take It Easy. I really hated it a lot the first time I heard it, and I generally don't like Bright Eyes... but it keeps getting played on JJJ and it's grown on me.

My brain has been running a bit musically dry lately, been in a bit of a rut... but tomorrow I'm gonna spend big and get a bunch of CDs, to celebrate getting a new job. And the universe will then be in harmony.

[asymm]

i've become obsessive
Guided By Voices - "Earthquake Glue"

I just can't wait til Christmas till I get the "Hardcore UFOs" GbV box...

[Little Man being Erased]

TV On The Radio

[Iai]

Afghan Whigs' Congregation is great.
:cool:

I've been digging Squarepusher - Music Is Rotted One Note.

[cliffisking]

[The Ashtray Girl]

Today I discovered Explosions In the Sky. Wow.

[KARMAPOL1CE]

Well, Radiohead is my favorite band, so of course them.

Muse
Slightly Stoopid
King Crimson
Pink Floyd
Zappa
Wilco

etc.

[KARMAPOL1CE]

Oh, forgot something. Check out the song by Slowdive - When the Sun Hits...

I love it

[enjoy_cai]

Oh, forgot something. Check out the song by Slowdive - When the Sun Hits...

[Zmev]

10,000 Maniacs
The Smiths
Aphex Twin

[Master Arkam Kannon]

13th Floor Elevators
John Coltrane (much further then before)
Eric Dolphy (thanks to Zappa)

[Tapeworm]

Elliott Smith and Missy Higgins again.

[asymm]

just got some free stuff for my radio show...but so far I've only had time to dig:
The Panthers - "Things Are Strange"
"We Are Louder" is an amazing song, I just love the 'my dick is bigger than yours' tongue-in-cheek mentality.

[vallely2004]

Been diggin' some of my older cds due to the fact my girlfriends has all my good cds right now because im trying to get her into them. So Ive been listening to:

Wildhearts
Foo Fighters
Stone Temple Pilots

[enjoy_cai]

They called off classes today because there's supposed to be this BIG storm headed here. But there is still no rain.

So i'm currently diggin'

Sigur Ros
Bjork
Tool
Frank Sinatra :p

"Before the Storm" Music

[kickcat]

[Well_Respected_Man]

You're annoying.

[KARMAPOL1CE]

Go SlowDive! hahaha. i'd also go for their song "Machine Gun" and "Shine"


Is Machine Gun a Hendrix cover?

:confused: Thats hard to imagine.

[Well_Respected_Man]

I just downloading The New Pornographers' Massive Romantic and it sounds pretty darn cool at first listen. Anybody else familiar with this band?

[Tapeworm]

I really dig The New Pornographers. "What's wrong is everywhere" was on some tv show the other night and it freaked me out.

I've only heard a couple of songs though.

[Luxor]

Listened to a lot of stuff today; Elliott Smith, Tomahawk, Neil Young, The Faint.

[Bartender]

Been diggin' some of my older cds due to the fact my girlfriends has all my good cds right now because im trying to get her into them. So Ive been listening to:

Wildhearts
Foo Fighters
Stone Temple Pilots

Nice, the Wildhearts. I think this makes you the third person I've found who likes them here.

[Yorke]

Listened to some Damien Rice and RHCP today. Starting to like this new guy named Tyler Hilton, has a really awesome voice that is very uncommon. His voice is very deep and sounds awesome with the acoustic guitar. Look him up, he is pretty good. Two of my favorites by him are When It Comes, and Glad.

Also Ihateusernames, Elliott Smith rocks.

[Little Man being Erased]

I love Minus The Bear. The album, "Highly Refined Pirates" is really bloody cool.

[Well_Respected_Man]

I really dig The New Pornographers. "What's wrong is everywhere" was on some tv show the other night and it freaked me out.

I've only heard a couple of songs though.
Yeah, I've listened to that album three times now and I really dig it, great stuff.

[Tapeworm]

They make me wanna jump around, but in a really happy way.

I've been diggin on Circle Takes the Square still. It's weird that their songs would get so stuck in your head. I have found myself singing various songs at different points all through the week. Best album of the year, I say again.

[Tomahawk]

Been digging Kyuss today. I picked up And the Circus Leaves Town, and it's been rocking me nice and hard. Which is good, because I've been getting a bit under-rocked lately.

Also been into Eskimo Joe, The Pogues, and the Smiths.

[talk show host]

I've been listening to a fair amount of Autechre recently.

Some of it is really messed up...

[pinkyeti]

I've been listening to Sonic Youth's "dirty" for a while now. also fehlfarben "monarchie und alltag"

[Reaganista]

It's december! Get in the holiday spirit!

I dusted off the Trans siberian orchestra and was suddenly reminded of their awesomeness.

and the flying burrito brothers are good, too. but they have nothing to do with christmas.

[Iai]

Today, I was mostly enjoying AFI, Lacuna Coil, and Morrissey.

\m/X*EmO*X*GoTh*X\m/

And Asian Dub Foundation, which totally doesn't fit.

[Interstate]

Today i've been listening to The Commodores, a load of classic rock (Thin Lizzy, Free, ZZ Top etc.) and a bit of The Smiths.

[dkmaddog]

Been listening to a nice mixtape of the Shins, Kings of Convenience, Yo La Tengo, Belle and Sebastian and Rogue Wave. Particularly Rogue Wave though.

[enjoy_cai]

Is Machine Gun a Hendrix cover?

:confused: Thats hard to imagine.

nope it's not

[Tapeworm]

PJ Harvey.

I seriously have never been this impressed with her before. It took me like 3 years to get used to her music (even though I liked a few songs here and there), but it is today, my friends, that I am in love.

[Iai]

Today I have been mostly digging The Smiths and the Manic Street Preachers.

[Sisyphus]

I've had the new Sparta in my cd player the last few days...also Manitoba-up in flames (really cool cd), hopesfall, and tom waits.

[talk show host]

I've had the new Sparta in my cd player the last few days...also Manitoba-up in flames (really cool cd), hopesfall, and tom waits.

I've been meaning to check out Manitoba for ages. Any recommendations?

[Sisyphus]

I've been meaning to check out Manitoba for ages. Any recommendations?

check out the songs; I've lived on a dirt road all my life, hendrix with ko, bijoux, and skunks, for a good taste of the album Up In Flames.

Dan Snaith (Manitoba) was in town a few months back, but i missed it. Hate when you get into bands right after they play your city, especially where i live. the music is kinda reminiscent of boards of canada if you've heard them. less experimental though. - peace

[asymm]

Today I've been digging...

Vietname - "The Concrete's Always Grayer On The Other Side of the Street" EP

[Happymeal]

I'm trying hard not to be on downers this weekend. I'm gonna find me a !!! album.

[asymm]

...and I've been diggin The 90 Day Men - Panda Park today, I think some of the Mars Volta fans would enjoy their mathy rock.

[coffinbreak]

I've really been digging Skin Yard lately, particulary "1000 Smiling Knuckles". Anybody else like them?

[Tangy zizzle]

Um I got 3 new records today, so been diggin' these:

Cake - Fashion Nugget
T(I)NC - Survival Sickness
New Wet Kojak - New Wet Kojak

Do any of you listen NWK? They are really quite interesting.

[Happymeal]

What they sound like?

[Tangy zizzle]

Kid of like a more noised up and subtle Morphine. Think Sonic Youth mixed with Morphine, and you're kinda on the right track.

[Happymeal]

Cool. I'll take note of that.

'Been digging Dub Narcotic and that JSBX of yours. They make me wanna wiggle my tush.

[Tangy zizzle]

Didn't they do an album together?

JSBX = the best.

[Happymeal]

Yeah, but I only got one track, Fudgy the Whale. Groovy. I think I need some more bands in their league.

[Tangy zizzle]

Get their newie Damage. It's about as close to the blues/hip hop/noise-punk masterpiece that they've been promising, as they've ever been.

[Tapeworm]

They are just called Blues Explosion.

[Tangy zizzle]

They've dropped the "Jon Spencer" part for their new album.

I don't give a **** either.

[Little Man being Erased]

Sigur Ros. Just got the untitled album, (), I love it.

[Bartender]

They've dropped the "Jon Spencer" part for their new album.

I don't give a **** either.

Really? Shame. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion was the second greatest band name the world has ever known.

[Tapeworm]

I agree.

[Tangy zizzle]

And the first being...?

Vincent Price's Orphan Powered Death Machine

REEEEeeeefl. I can't believe that one. What kind of band is it?

[Tangy zizzle]

Vincent Price was ****ing mad.

They were mentioned in the Emo Thread in Other, so I guess emo/screamo/grind or something.

^About halfway down that page, and there's a song of theirs linked.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Today I listened to T Rex, The Verve and Beck. All was enjoyed thoroughly.

[SirHaxalot22]

i like "the faint" as of late.

[Iai]

Today I have been mostly enjoying After Forever and Buck 65.

[vallely2004]

Today I have been mostly doing sheep.............no I mean, I have been mostly diggin' Stone Temple Pilots

[KappaKid17]

I borrowed "Now Here is Nowhere" by the Secret Machines from a buddy of mine and haven't taken it out of my cd player all day long. "First Wave Intact" is one of the best songs I've heard in a good while.

Vincent Price's Orphan Powered Death Machine

I'll have to find more songs from them.

Anyways I borrowed Wowy Zowee and bought Louden Up Now. Good times. Next up on my to-buy list is Damage and Grace Legacy Edition

[Sisyphus]

[Iai]

Right now, I am mostly digging Bill Hicks.

Comedy genius.

[CarnageFairy]

Can, T Rex, Stone Roses.

[Tangy zizzle]

T Rex are tops.

[YDload]

Rush used to open for T-Rex back in the late 70s. My mom saw them.

[Tangy zizzle]

Rush used to be crap.

Funny how a lot of things never change innit?

[YDload]

No way, Rush is still pretty good. I just heard "Working Man" on the radio and it was a lot better than their more popular singles.

[Little Man being Erased]

Right now, I am mostly digging Bill Hicks.

Comedy genius.
He most certainly is.

I've only seen one of his stand-up shows. Revelations. It is bloody good stuff.

[Tangy zizzle]

He's dead.

[biografiend]

Citizens Here and Abroad. They have both a male and female singer, and remind me somewhat of Death Cab and some other band that i cant think of. Recommended song: Appearances.

[Little Man being Erased]

He's dead.
Oh really?




Anyway, the last few days I've only been listening to Sigur Ros - ( ) and Air - Moon Safari and 10000 Hz Legend. 10000 Hz is an absolutely amazing album.

That song is really good. I heard it off of Pitchfork recomendations.

[Tapeworm]

[Bartender]

I have been listening to Adam Green non-stop for the past week. Lyrically, he is my favorite artist of all time. Can't wait until he drops his new album in Jan.

[Jomabe]

Wilco, Q and not U, Superchunk, The Arcade Fire, and Beck.

[Tangy zizzle]

Husker Du are the goods.

[clown_phobia]

[Tangy zizzle]

Yes you can.

[clown_phobia]

but only after 10-15 years of obsession. :(

[Tangy zizzle]

Uh, no?

Cripes man.

[Happymeal]

I respect classic rock, but it just won't get in my top 10 genres.

[Tapeworm]

I equals the same.

[Luxor]

Today I've listened to:

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Damien Rice - O
The Faint - Danse Macabre

[RIPJoeStrummer]

The Blood Brothers - Burn Piano Island, Burn

It's ****ing brilliant. And I hardly even enjoy that type of music.

[NineBitFable]

I hate usernames- your avatar is awesome, especially since the album i'm into right now is Loveless by My Bloody Valentine... its just insane.

[twistinside]

i've been getting into my bloody valentine too! :eek:

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm just getting into Bloc Party. w00t.

[Tomahawk]

Awesome.

Today I have been mostly digging The Twilight Singers, Manic Street Preachers, and Aphex Twin.

[Plainlazy]

[Plainlazy]

[juggalotricksta]

Lately Ive been listening to Gwen Stefanis solo cd. Its strangely compelling. Good tracks to check out are:

What You Waiting For?
Rich Girl
Hollerback Girl
Bubble Pop Electric

And Im also addicted to American Idiot but Im trying to restrict myself from listening to it so as not to play it out. My favorite tracks on there:

Jesus of Suburbia
Boulevard of Broken Dreams
St. Jimmy
Shes a Rebel
Wake Me Up When September Ends

[Plainlazy]

yes, thankyou! i love shes a rebel but most of my mates say whatshername is way better. they are wrong.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Jesus of Suburbia is an amazing song.

Today I listened to a lot of Scissor Sisters and The Coral.

[Tangy zizzle]

I'm diggin' the fact that the Fanatics and Mint Chicks have been added to the Big Day Out bill.

Suck it Australia! 8ooo>

Why strangely? It's an awesome record.

Question for Iai (or anyone else who is an Afghan Whigs fan): What's a good Whigs album to get after Gentlemen?

[Zmev]

It seems I've been listening to I know Its Over by the Smiths repeatetly over the past couple (4) days.

I also try to sing it, Eh, I try at least = /

I like Congregation, although that's the only one I've heard properly.

[Iai]

Question for Iai (or anyone else who is an Afghan Whigs fan): What's a good Whigs album to get after Gentlemen?
Depends what you're after.

1965 is basically a soul album. I wouldn't really recommend it; not till you've heard the rest and liked them.

Black Love has more soul influences than Gentlemen, and moves away from grunge somewhat. There's a couple of pretty average tracks, but three tracks (Blame Etc., My Enemy, Faded) are better than most of Gentlemen. I'd say this one.

Congregation, though, is a pure Sub-Pop album. Really grungy, and really punky in places, with a few tracks that show what they'd go on to do on Gentlemen. I like it slightly less than Black Love, but Tangy prefers this to Gentlemen. And it converted Ashtray. :p

My Soulseek is Iai, and I'm sharing both Black Love and Congregation. Feel free to download a couple tracks from both and see for yourself. Or if you were planning to download rather than buy, have them from me. :)

[Happymeal]

I think I'm gonna buy Damage or Plastic Fang this weekend..

[biografiend]

Sigur Ros' Von just got released in the states not too long ago, and i just got it today. its a pretty good album, but not as good as ( ).

[Tangy zizzle]

Congregation is the sure bet to buy after Gentleman.

As Iai said, I prfer it to Gentleman - but they're both top albums. The Afghan Whis are so underrated.

[Little Man being Erased]

I think I'm gonna buy Damage or Plastic Fang this weekend..
Yeah, I'm planning on getting Damage pretty soon too.

[Tangy zizzle]

Hah, You guys are so slow.

[Little Man being Erased]

If I could buy every album that I want in one go I would. Unfortunately, I'm quite poor and I can't buy heaps of albums.

[Tangy zizzle]

I'm also relatviely poor... but JSBX come first in my life.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah... I won't be poor for much longer. I can't wait.

[Happymeal]

Relatively poor and you buy 3-5 albums a week??


edit: to Tangy

[Tomahawk]

I'm the same: relatively poor, yet I usually buy a couple of albums per week.

Ya see, there's a correlation between those 2 things...

[milkandlaxatives]

i don't even come close to being relatively poor. i'm just plain poor. which is why i cheat and dowload albums i check out from the library. shame on me.

yo la tengo is my new favorite band, i've listened to my little corner of the world over and over and over for the past 3 days

[asymm]

Lately...

Low - "Christmas EP"
and
Augie March - "Strange Bird"

Strange Bird has been amazing... very interesting and varied music. A fantastic album that should've been brought to the US when it was first released in 2002...
