Asian Dub Foundation (I forget how much I love these guys), plus the new Buck 65, which I have no idea what to make of.

New Buck 65? :eek:

I wonder if he ever gets called "Suck Bixty-Five." Probably not.

Ive been diggin Team Sleep, and the Flaming Lips(Soft Bulletin).

Black Mountain - Black Mountain
Jesus Lizard - Goat
67 Special EP

recently attended intonationfest so still kind of in an intonationy mood. the highlight albums that i've grown on are...

broken social scene - you forgot it in people
andrew bird - andrew bird and the mysterious production of eggs
ac newman - the slow wonder
xiu xiu - fabulous muscles
les savy fav - emor, rome upside down

the lattermost's studio music is hard to compare to their live show. it seriously was the greatest thing i've ever been to. if you ever get the oppurtunity, do not pass up going to a les savy fav show. you can't resist a chance to see a plump, bearded, balding, half-naked tim harrington dive down a slip n' slide through the audience. i've been checkin out this forum for a while. you guys know some great bands...

Jimi Hendrix
The Roots
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Explosions In The Sky
DCFC

Lots of stuff in the past few hours:

Lydia Lunch
Misfits
The Adicts
The Replacements
Os Mutantes
Yusef Lateef
Little Richard
The Breeders
The Cure
Bill Evans
The Who
The Residents
Maroon 5
David Bowie
Busta Rhymes
Alan Lomax

Glad this generated some serious discussion and criticism. Thanks.

I think the band is rather bland and boring, and the singer sounds horrible most of the time, especially live. They just sound really weak, and his vocals are always high in the mix, which doesn't make sense to me.

There we go. Thanks for explaining your view now. It's always interesting to hear oppositional views to my own. I think the flair of them for me is most definitely Craig Finn's lyrical content and his aggressive approach to the music. As you pointed how the vocals being high in the mix, well I think that is something essential considering their importance to the overall sound. As I can see your point on being 'bland' and 'boring' but for me I find their take on traditional 'bar' rock extremely interesting with the conceptual meaning and purpose behind it, the contrasting vocals to instruments, and of course the addition of the keyboard really does it for me :)

New album should be out later this year.

According to them, "The songs are quite delicious... we will crash into the sun."

Sounds good to me.

Anyone here familiar with Cloroform? It's Kaada's band, and they kinda sound like Bullfrog(Kid Koala's band)

Oh yeah, Autolux are catchy as hell

Some songs are outstanding. "Blan Bec" and "Le 65 isme" are the two stand outs for me.

Been listening to some Afghan Whigs, and a bunch of various Motown stuff (especially the Jackson 5).

I've been listening to a lot of my third wava ska albums again.

The Toasters - DLTBGYD
The Slackers - Live at Ernesto's
Chris Murray - The 4-Track Adventures of Venice Shoreline Chris
Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb
Hepcat - Out of Nowhere

Say Hi to Your Mom
Kaiser Chiefs

Getting ready to see them live!

Converge - You Fail Me
Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist
Dead Kennedys - Plastic Surgery Disasters/In God We Trust
Catch 22 - Keasby Nights
Gang of Four - Entertainment

Started to enjoy Iron & Wine today.

Cinders and Smoke is such a bad *** ch00n.

[b]Special Needs!!![/b]

Saw them live spontaneously last night, and they were completely fantastic.

Expect a whoring-them-out thread from me sometime soon, I've just been converted into such a fangirl.

In preparation for my trip to Splendour in the Grass tomorrow, I have been listening to Ryan Adams and Interpol.

did you hear the Josh Homme thing on JJJ this morning? it was totally decent.

Nope, I don't listen to the radio.

Shallow - High Flyin' Kids Stuff
Notwist - 12/Loup EP
Boyracer - In Full Colour

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! - [i]s/t[/i][/QUOTE]

:thumb:

I'm actually really liking that Magic Numbers album as well now.

I've been digging the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah album, too. The first few listens that I gave it a couple of weeks ago didn't really fancy me, but I gave it another chance and now I really like it. Nothing spectacular, but a pretty solid album.

Cannonball Adderley - Mercy, Mercy, Mercy
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Black Mountain - s/t
Tom Waits - Alice

good day

Buck 65 - Secret House Against The World (4.5/5)
Oasis - Don't Believe The Truth (3.5/5)
Juno Reactor - Bible Of Dreams (3.5/5)
The Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls (unrated as yet, but I like it a lot)

I'm totally in love with American Football right now. Also:

Cap'n Jazz
Make Believe
Owen
Joan of Arc

omfgthekinsellabrothersrocklolz

Pajo - [i]Pajo[/i]

Jackson 5, At the Drive In, Prince, and a bunch of Burt Bacharach stuff.

Also the latest 20 Minute Loop album.

The soundtrack to Decoder Ring is really good.
