*knows those bands*


Beck
The Decemberists
Radiohead
The Jolly Rogers

Still The Magic Numbers.

Totally in love with this band right now.

I'll check that band out if you check out The Jolly Rogers.

[QUOTE=Bukowski]Black Mountain
Calexico

Everyone should know these bands.[/QUOTE]

Calexico are staying at my grandparents house for a little while this summer.

I walked along Lake Superior and listened to Slint yesterday evening. [I]Spiderland[/I] sounds even better with waves.

What kind of music are Slint?

They get the reputation of being sort of "the godfathers of post-rock," but to me they're just alternative rock that wrote slow-boiling moody tunes.

Cool, I'll have to check them out.

Agreed.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]At the Drive-In - [i]Acrobatic Tenement[/i]

fuc[COLOR=white]k[/COLOR]ing wonderful album[/QUOTE]

It's not my favorite ATDI album, but "Ebroglio" "Initiation" and "Paid Vacation Time" are great songs.

I'm finishing up a recording that I began this morning, and I'm digging it a lot. I love making music.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]It's my favorite by a wide margin. Second is probably [i]In/CASINO/Out[/i][/QUOTE]

I think I like the Vaya EP the best because it doesn't have any really poor songs on it, but they've all got their strong points.

[QUOTE=Zappa]I walked along Lake Superior and listened to Slint yesterday evening. [I]Spiderland[/I] sounds even better with waves.[/QUOTE]

I listened to it last night too. It's a lot better than I originally gave it credit for.

[B]Salsa.[/B]

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Yeah I don't see a lot of the post-rock in Slint. They're a bit removed from GYBE, Tortoise, Mogwai, etc.[/QUOTE]
I'm thinking it's because they pioneered the loud-soft-loud thing for the more recent generations.

Anyway.

Why? Are my recommendations usually that bad?

Look ma, triple post.

I've put a buttload of stuff on my new PC and put it on random. So I'm basically digging everything I have on mp3 but not on CD.

Some really great stuff has come up that I've never really listened to before - Art Blakey, Ryan Adams, Skunk Anansie.

Other than that.....still The Magic Numbers. And yesterday, Rufus Wainwright.

Art Blakey is the Thor of jazz drummers.

I thought the Moanin' title track was an alternate take of So What when it came on.

But by the end, I liked it more than So What. :-*

today I bought:

Mission of Burma - [I]Vs.[/I]
Nation of Ulysses - [I]13 Point Program to Destroy America[/I]
Pere Ubu - [I]The Modern Dance[/I](for $7 w00t)

Anyone here know Amusement Parks on Fire?

[QUOTE=Iai]Why? Are my recommendations usually that bad?[/QUOTE]

Not at all. Just now it's one more thing I have to go buy.

Interpol - Antics ( 8.2/10 )
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless ( 7.0/10 )
