[QUOTE=EightMilesHigh;15758037]Bold statement senor Crumb.[/QUOTE]

It's pretty true, although maybe I should give McGuinn's solo albums a try. Really probably the best American band in terms of pop talent among its members, that's for sure.

Xiu Xiu - Fabulous Muscles

Havn't listened to this in ages. Great band.

Neoteric 12-30-2007 07:32 AM

Radiohead - "Kid A"

First time listening, definitely better than OK Computer.

Interstate 12-30-2007 08:29 AM

The Bronx - [I]The Bronx II[/I] - Don't know if I like this as much as their first one.
Tokyo Police Club - [I]A Lesson In Crime[/I] - Been playing this a fair bit recently, can't wait for their new release.

Lots of Melvins because I'm seeing them tonight.

If Gram Parsons counts, as he was only in the band for a few records, you're wrong wrong wrong. Wrong!

Interstate 12-30-2007 03:28 PM

[QUOTE=Spat Out Sexy Men;15760491]Bronx II is better I think. Incidentally, I just got a CD copy of Bronx I.[/QUOTE]

I'm still trying to decide. [I]Bronx I[/I] has catchier songs imo although I haven't listened to [I]II[/I] as much.

Sure he counts and as much as I love solo Parsons, I'm right right right. Right!

Although to be fair, "A Song for You," "Return of the Grevious Angel" and "In My Hour of Darkness" are probably better than anything Clark ever did.

I gave that Times New Viking another go around this week. I like it better now, but not a lot. I think most of those plays are just "Little Amp" over and over again.

Fair enough.

I've been listening to lots of classic country, which is sort of a constant for me, but I've listened to it more in the past week than I have in a while. And the Flaming Lips. I can't believe it took me so long to get into them, but they've quickly become one of my favorite bands.

Flaming Lips - UFOs at the Zoo Single
ZZZZ/Uz Jsme Doma split single
Sun City Girls - Montreal Pop (bootleg)
and maybe
Defiance, Ohio - the fear, the fear, the fear
The Residents - freakshow

This Mountain Home album is pretty sweet, highly recommended for fans of Espers, Marissa Nadler and such hippies.

Eliminator 12-30-2007 07:27 PM

the new jamie b. is just as good if not better than his others mm

sweboy 12-30-2007 07:33 PM

it is ***hYpNoTiC***

I've only heard O True Believers out of his other stuff though.

Eliminator 12-30-2007 07:35 PM

his guitar sounds like a harpsichord or something its CrAazyYy

celeste and lost prayers & motionless dances are also good
