F[color=white]UCK[/color] RIGHT! I'll totally listen in the car if or something, since I gotta go to a swim meet.

YES, we have our home back, I got this from the R&M community thread, [url]http://www.purevolume.com/whistlecore[/url] whistlecore is total ownage!

also I'd like to add, I don't really like Bright Eyes at all, they just don't appeal to me :/

Meh, he recommended a band and also made a post pertinent to the topic of conversation, I see no problem with it.

I listened to Padriac my Prince and Something Vague...was that not enough of a chance?

Those are both good songs, but his material is so diverse you could probably find something you enjoy if you looked enough.

The thing aside from the band was fine, but him advertising some band from R&M is retarded an doesn't need to be here.

My friend just got me the two new bright eyes albums for my birthday, now everyone wish me a happy birthday even though my birthdays tomarrow, and im quite impressed. Both cds are exceptinally good. Digital Ash for A digital urn for some reason reminded me a little of "the cure". The other cd was really good also, he is quite a good lyricist.

I wasn't advertising, I was trying to show you something funny.... I'm sorry but that isn't spam dude.

Happy Birthday Sparky.
I haven't posted a song in a really long time. Tips for getting over writers block, anyone?
And everyone, dont be ****ty. or this thread will suck.

Trophy Scars kick ***. So does Jeff Buckley. What has everyone been listening to lately? (trying to start conversation also so its not considered spam)

Write something.


No seriously choose something that's really touching you at the moment and write about it. Try and think up some interesting metaphors you could use.


Lately i've been getting addicted to the music of -

Cursive
Seafood
Belle & Sebastian
The Cooper Temple Clause
Daft Punk


Not all lyrically accomplished, but a dam[COLOR=White]n[/COLOR] good listen nonetheless.

Sarah McLachlan is amazing. I've just been playing the usual in my car though: Cursive, Bright Eyes, As I Lay Dying, Death Cab, Sparta, TMV, Atreyu, The Fall of Troy, Beloved; stuff like that. Haven't really found any new bands I like a lot though.

Oh my, i forgot Eels :eek:

I'm way too stubborn musically... I really need to learn to branch out, but there's just too much crap out there, and I only have so much time.

Anyone like to recommend me a band? I'm into a fair bit of stuff - Thrice, Jimmy Eat World, Funeral For a Friend, Alkaline Trio - I need some new bands that aren't so mainstream, people!

Well Jason, the harsh way to put this is: anything with a catchy guitar line and some heavy hearted, somewhat cliched lyrics.

^^How was the meet?

Bright Eyes isn't coming on until 11.

^^Link of the concert in case you need it. It's cool...its just playing live concert feed now. But CocoRosie is coming up next and then Oberst. :thumb:

heh yeah...it seems obvious at first, but you're totally right. Nothing good needs to come out the first time so I guess I just need to write something.

Lately i have been listining to the two new bright eyes cd's. Just got Kid A by radiohead which is extremly good. Also i got Elliott smiths "from a basement on the hill" which i m only half way through listing too, but so far it is really good. Can anyone recommend me another cd to go buy?

Elliot Smith - Either Or
Eels - Electro Shock Blues/Daisies of the Galaxy
Elbow - Cast of Thousands

They're just a few from my E section.

If you include Thrice in that, you can go straight to hell.

Check out Opeth, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, Kalmah, Norther, Children Of Bodom, Blind Gaurdian, Beholder, and Nightwish

All great modern music

It seems like I'm the only metalhead on S&L :(

I'm not a fan of metal, thanks.

[QUOTE=Jason101]I'm not a fan of metal, thanks.[/QUOTE]

Well you said you wanted to broaden your music tastes, and also, check out Opeth, half their stuff is just accoustic and clean singing.

I think he meant "in his genre". Or probably more specifically "no metal crap".

That's kind of like the "emo" which is really indie. I'm guessing you've only heard "The Artist and The Ambulance" by Thrice so I suggest you check out "The Illusion of Safety". A band like Alkaline Trio lyrical wise is Glassjaw, while they are alot harder and scream more they do tend to write about lots of drinking and violence. For JEW I'd check out some of the mid 90's indie rock like Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral they aren't that similar, but people that like JEW usually like those bands. Also make sure you get Clarity by Jimmy Eat World it's a great album.

Yeah, I'm well into JEW - Clarity has been taking pride of place in my collection for a long time. Static Prevails is an interesting little album by them as well - if only to compare the sounds between Static Prevails and Futures - it's like two different bands.

As for Thrice - actually, I haven't got The Artist In The Ambulance... I got IoS some time back when a friend recommended Thrice. Is TAITA any good in comparison?
Glassjaw are awesome. Daryl Palumbo is an extremely under-rated frontman, in my opinion - I've not seen much mention of him on these boards, whereas people whore Maynard from Tool to death.

It's a lot heavier but more streamlined. Worth picking up just for about 2/3 of the songs.

Oh, and Daryl Palumbo is severely overrated, because his voice is fu[b][i][/b][/i]cking awful.

[QUOTE=SubtleDagger]It's a lot heavier but more streamlined. Worth picking up just for about 2/3 of the songs.[/QUOTE]

Which songs would you recommend. I own it, but i rarely listen to it. Not really my kind of stuff.

I like all of Thrice's work, I don't dislike any TAITA songs, but some are under par (oh pun :upset: ). The title track is great, paper tigers is good, the abolition of man has my favorite intro, just depends on what you like.

All That's Left, the single is pretty good and it gives off the general feel of the album. More pop based core.
