Maybe alternative/pop-rock or something.

Tangy zizzle 06-22-2005 04:26 PM

Yeah, alternative/pop-rock is fitting, but also not a [I]great[/I] description.

Awesome band, just awesome.

Zappa 06-22-2005 04:32 PM

[QUOTE=Zappa]Then again, I don't think any albums by that band are bad.[/QUOTE]

I forgot about [I]Bloodflowers[/I]. That album is whack. I wasn't too fond of the new s/t when I gave it a listen, either.

Zappa 06-22-2005 04:34 PM

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]I know I've pimped bands/records before, but this Nada Surf s[COLOR=White]h[/COLOR]it is the real deal.

I just got [I]The Proximity Effect [/I] aswell, goodness. I can see the Weezer comparison, but I'd say Nada Surf on a whole are more mature and have a larger scope.

pioubgig[oinwonv[/QUOTE]

I remember the song "Popular."

Iai 06-22-2005 05:32 PM

I dislike Nada Surf.

Iai 06-22-2005 05:36 PM

I had Hi/Low but then my sister took it back. Good stuff.

Iai 06-22-2005 05:40 PM

It's the only Costello I've heard. I like it a lot, though.

Little Man being Erased 06-22-2005 06:21 PM

I guess I may aswell list my diggage.

Beastie Boys
Shpongle
The Jolly Rogers
Devin Davis

Iai 06-22-2005 07:11 PM

Schnitzl'd In The Negev = best song name ever.

Little Man being Erased 06-22-2005 07:16 PM

That's for d[font=]amn[/font] sure.

YDload 06-22-2005 07:22 PM

[QUOTE=Zappa]I remember the song "Popular."[/QUOTE]

Yeah. I'm guessing that not all of their songs have nothing but talking in the verses. That was a pretty boring song, but I could tell they might have something more interesting up their sleeves.

Robert Crumb 06-22-2005 08:22 PM

Still Jeru but also Pere Ubu, One Be Lo and Andrew Bird.

Holla.

cap 06-22-2005 11:10 PM

Ok, been digging:

Kaiser Chiefs - Employment
The Libertines - The Libertines
The Libertines - Up The Bracket
The Best Of - The Smiths
Bravery - The Bravery
The Dears - No Cities Left
Babyshambles

Trying to get my hands on some Futureheads.

Any other bands similar that you can recommend, apart from the obvious Morissey, Ramones, The Clash etc.

Totally into the brit music at the present.

Zappa 06-22-2005 11:13 PM

Earl Wild - [I]Earl Wild Plays His Transcriptions of Gershwin[/I]

This is a CD my mom gave me to listen to. I guess she knew the musician (featured on solo piano) on here a long long time ago. This is remarkable stuff.

br3ad_man 06-22-2005 11:54 PM

Gigantic Brain - The Invasion Discography
Belle and Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress

Glad to see you're enjoying [i]This Year's Model[/i]. What's [i]Unholy[/i] like?


I've been listening to Miocene, earthtone 9, Aereogramme and my solitary Sunna song recently, in anticipation of getting new related albums in the post sometime soon.

br3ad_man 06-23-2005 04:43 AM

What's the best Aerogramme record Bartender?

Iai 06-23-2005 05:53 AM

Very, very dark. It's the sort of record that's could split his fanbase in half, but turn the ones that remain into a really devotional cult. I'm gonna have to give it a few more spins before I slap any sort of rating on it, but I will say it's a difficult album to listen to, yet pretty gripping all the same.

Happymeal 06-23-2005 06:16 AM

[QUOTE=br3ad man]Gigantic Brain - The Invasion Discography[/QUOTE]

Haha, I remember hearing that one song on Dargon(?)'s review.

br3ad_man 06-23-2005 06:21 AM

:lol:

It's pretty funny stuff, but most of it is really cool.

trading_sadness4numbness 06-23-2005 07:38 AM

Has anyone heard of Frankenixon or does anyone have their CD, if so is it good or too girly?

Clunge 06-23-2005 07:44 AM

It'd be worth the £8.99 that Amazon's currently asking for it, then?

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]

I don't know :( I bought [i]A Story In White[/i] when it first came out (four years ago now, which is a depressing thought), and slowly came to love it. Then I just didn't buy [i]Sleep and Release[/i] or [i]Seclusion[/i] for some reason, despite being made fully aware of them by reviews and things.

Iai 06-23-2005 08:03 AM

[QUOTE=Clunge]Kinesis[/QUOTE]
They just broke up. :( Gutted about that.

Iai 06-23-2005 08:04 AM

[QUOTE=Bartender]It'd be worth the £8.99 that Amazon's currently asking for it, then?[/QUOTE]
Um.....you may not think so at first, but yeah.

Have you got Open Heart Zoo yet?

Bartender 06-23-2005 08:07 AM

I don't actually own it, no, but I've heard it. Borrowed it from friends and things.

Interstate 06-23-2005 10:52 AM

[QUOTE=Iai]They just broke up. :( Gutted about that.[/QUOTE]

aah that sucks. :( Didn't they only release one album ([I]Handshakes For Bullets[/I])?
