Well, considering you can get a copy of both of their albums for $2, I'd say they are worth the effort.

I've still only got their first one, as I am waiting for them to bring out the version with artwork of the new album. I introduced them to mx :cool:

[url]http://www.thejollyrogers.org[/url] has mp3s. I'd reccomend, in the following order:

The Party Punch
A Walk In The Park
Oh Be One
The Pirate's Anthem
Jane Is Fat

What do they sound like?

folky indie pop

Sort of like a mix of Animal Collective and...I dunno. Their singer sounds a bit like the dude from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, but not as over the top or ridiculous.

Pfft. Sounds like hippy longhair music.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]I think Neu! are quite a boring band indeed. They have their moments, yes, but ultimately they were just kinda awkward and "arty" for the sake of it.[/QUOTE]

...but you [I]like[/I] Can.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]Pfft. Sounds like hippy longhair music.[/QUOTE]

Pfft. You [I]are[/I] a long haired hippie. From New Zealand.

Bought Bonobo's [i]Dial M for Monkey[/i] and I have to say it is much too much of a good thing.

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]What's it like? Average as hell, I bet.[/QUOTE]
A little better than that, but not much.

[QUOTE=Iai]A little better than that, but not much.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I don't think I'll bother with it.

Last night and this morning I dug:

Nada Surf - [I]Let Go[/I]
The Smiths - [I]The Smiths[/I]
Massive Attack - [I]Mezzanine[/I]

[QUOTE=Zappa]...but you [I]like[/I] Can.[/QUOTE]That's what I was thinking.

Ive been digging [url= http://sigur-ros.co.uk//tour/2005/20051127.php]this[/url] for the past 2 hours. It can get a bit tedious at times, but it works well to keep in the background.

Pretty normal day.

Galaxie 500 - [i]Today[/i] & [i]On Fire[/i]
Guided By Voices - [i]Fast Japanese Spin Cycle[/i] EP & [i]I Am A Scientist[/i] EP
Food - [i]Last Supper[/i]

Jeff Buckley
Lightning Bolt
Blockhead - [I]Downtown Science[/I] (mostly instrumental trip-hop)

General Patton vs the executioners
Frank Zappa - we're only in it for the money
Mr. Bungle - california
Primus - Frizzle Fry

I was on a long busride today.

I've been on a Decemberists kick lately. [I]Picaresque[/I] and [I]Her Majesty[/I], primarily.

[QUOTE=DogInTheSand]I've been on a Decemberists kick lately. [I]Picaresque[/I] and [I]Her Majesty[/I], primarily.[/QUOTE]

Sounds like me in September. Then there was Mogwai. Then Cocteau Twins, now Neu! Etc.

The Shins
Sleater-Kinney
The Jolly Rogers

Peter Tosh - Equal Rights
Peter Tosh - Acoustic Bootleg
The Skoidats - The Times

[QUOTE=Zappa]...but you [I]like[/I] Can.[/QUOTE]

Can run circles around anything Neu! ever put out. They had groove, and rythym and soul man, soul.

[I]'75[/I] had some soul. But mostly, Neu! is a very functional band.

Roots Manuva
Robert Wyatt
Bob Dylan
Blueprint

Today I have listened to:

Billy Bragg - [I]Back to Basics[/I]
Radiohead - [I]OK Computer[/I]
Kings of Leon - [I]Aha Shake Heartbreak[/I]
Ryan Adams - [I]Cold Roses[/I]
The Decemberists - [I]Picaresque[/I] (I just can't stop listening to it)
The Smiths - [I]Meat is Murder[/I] (again)

Awesome, another Roots Manuva fan. Have you heard his Back to Mine? it's not half bad.

I've been listening to:

The Hold Steady
Drive-by Truckers (awesome band)
CCR
Les Savy Fav

[QUOTE]Awesome, another Roots Manuva fan. Have you heard his Back to Mine? it's not half bad.[/QUOTE]

I've only heard Run Come Save Me and I just got the new one. I'm still relatively new to the guy but he's good.

Make that another two Roots Manuva fans. I've only got [I]Awfully Deep[/I] though.

The Harder They Come
Scientist - Scientist Rids the World of the Curse of the Evil Vampire
Augustus Pablo - King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown

Kinda took a break from music recently, but I'm back into it with a ton of Split Enz, plus some XTC, Talking Heads, and Crowded House.

Also, I'm kinda hooked on the new Darkness album.

The Dwarves

Cryptopsy - Once Was Not
Aesop Rock - Float
Television - Marquee Moon

Only that last was new for me, but I've spent the last couple of days consolidating the first two.

Tortoise - [I]S/T[/I]
Notorious B.I.G - [I]Ready To Die[/I]
Camper Van Beethoven

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]Can run circles around anything Neu! ever put out. They had groove, and rythym and soul man, soul.[/QUOTE]

I of course disagree with all claims in this statement.

Magazine - [I]Real Life[/I]
Calexico - [I]Convict Pool[/I] EP


edit: and Decemberists - [I]Picaresque[/I]

[QUOTE=Happymeal]Jeff Buckley
Lightning Bolt
Blockhead - [I]Downtown Science[/I] (mostly instrumental trip-hop)[/QUOTE]

Would you say that album was better than Music by Cavelight?

Have been listening to Elbow.

Amon Düül II - [i]Tanz der Lemminge[/i]
Jeff Buckley - [i]Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk[/i]

[QUOTE=el doctor]Amon Düül II - [i]Tanz der Lemminge[/i]

I thought Jeff Buckley only released one album. What's on that one?

[QUOTE=Zappa]I of course disagree with all claims in this statement.[/QUOTE]

Of course you do, I made it.

:)

[QUOTE=3rdplanet]Would you say that album was better than Music by Cavelight?

Have been listening to Elbow.[/QUOTE]

It is better. But I didn't really like Music by Cavelight much to begin with.

Today while cleaning my basement I have so far listened to:
Pinback
Thingy
World/inferno friendship society (two albums)
Dead kennedys
Kaizer's orchestra

[QUOTE=Slug]I thought Jeff Buckley only released one album. What's on that one?[/QUOTE]These are all the unfinished recordings he was working on up until his death. It's good; not quite as warm as [i]Grace[/i], but definitely edgier.

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
Jurassic 5 - Power In Numbers
Sonic Youth - Anything and everything.
The Decemberists - Castaways & Cutouts
M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts
The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium

^ Very good list.

With the exception of Sonic Youth, that is.

Sonic Youth > Mars Volta
