Faraquet

So I listened to "The View From This Tower" all the way through today. Man, what an amazing album. The guitar work just gabbed me and kept me entertain and interested the entire time. I really dig the vocal work, too.

Anyone else into them? Thanks to Matt for getting me into this band. I had another album by them but it wouldn't play. :(

They're pretty cool, and it's too bad they didn't last for more than a debut album. You might also like Medications, which has 2 of the members from this band.

I got ya.

I'll have to check them out, then. Thanks, man.

The way I explain them is: Off Minor is screamo mixed with jazz. Faraquet is emo mixed with jazz.

I dig the trumpets on "Song For Friends To Me."

Faraquet and Medications are both great. I heard Faraquet for the first time a couple weeks ago in a local coffee place. I'm glad the guy working was playing them.

[Matt?]

split with akarso is so good, it's unbelievable.

one of the most awesome splits.

i like these guys alot

[bottlerocket]

^ Matt, send me that ish, please.

-Gav

[Iron Bug]

Awesome band, A View From This Tower is amazing.

[team_racket]

Faraquet come across as awesome musicians. strong jazz influence. first time i heard cut self not i was amazed.

[conniption]

Some pretty sick stuff, not much else like it.

[deadohiosky9]

I thought I sent you that album, or at least I sent it to Matt.

Faraquet own, such a good unnoticed band.

[bottlerocket]

Yeah, they deserve way more respect. I think the lyrics are iffy but I listen for the instruments. There's a wicked prevalient jazz influence.

[Luxor]

I'm downloading that album right now

[k1ckthecat]

i can't really get into them. do they take a couple listens?

[Luxor]

Sound like the Dismemberment Plan

[cobert]

Sound like the Dismemberment Plan

Any band that sounds like the dismemberment plan is a band I must hear.

[Matt OH!]

seriously it destorys their full length.

i can not describe the ownage in words, just that listening resulted in this:

8================================D

[cbmartinez]

I wish it didn't require the "seriously," but thank you.

[Matt OH!]

why...

[cbmartinez]

The Life Aquatic, stupid.

[Matt OH!]

ghostbusters >


nah really, i didn't see it. heard it was really dry.

[bottlerocket]

I like dry humor myself.

-Gav

[cobert]

A film entitled "The Life Aquatic" consists of dry humor.

Ha.

[cbmartinez]

Alright, Matt, I hate you for saying that. The Life Aquatic is amazing.

[Matt OH!]

i'll probably watch it eventually, i just didn't want to get into an extremely dry two hours at the movie theater.

i'll pick up the dvd.

[cobert]

Those 2 dry hours in the movie theatre wouldve been worth your 8 bucks. Seriously, that movie destroys.

[Matt OH!]

i hate going to the movie theater

i fell asleep at lord of the rings, and i'm a nerd.

[cobert]

Because Lord of the Rings is boring.

[Matt OH!]

the books were boring.

the movies were alright - good depending on which one.

at least to me

[RetiredAt21]

I saw The 40 Year Old Virgin in the theatre. That ruled.

[bottlerocket]

LOTR isn't that good. It's alright.

I'm a nerd, too.

-Gav

[RetiredAt21]

I'm a video game nerd. I don't play D&D or anything like that. I'm not THAT nerdy.

[k1ckthecat]

you guys don't know nerdy til you watch that guy beat Super Mario 64 in twenty-six minutes.

[Iron Bug]

That ruled.
