It's not the American way to take time in doing something, we're all about posting fast and getting it done.

I do, to corroborate your description. If you don't bother, I don't bother.

I agree. It could actually make posting here worthwhile.

I do that fairly frequently, unless it's a band I know everyone here is acquainted with.

Death Cab For Cutie - Transalanticism
Between the Buried and Me - Alaska
Herbie Hancock - Empyrean Isles

Well of course, there is no need to sell the Beatles.

So far today:

Joy Division - [i]Unknown Pleasures[/i]
The Fiery Furnaces - [i]Rehearsing My Choir[/i]
and still
Supersilent - [i]5[/i] (AMG - [url="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:lsjx7i72g7or"]Artist[/url][url="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:u8ke4j276wat"] Album[/url])

For me, seemingly "interesting" band names would suffice.

I like Idaho because they have that great kind of suave/dangerous mood to them, sort of like the Afghan Whigs. They're tough to describe; just kind of laid-back but loud indie rock.

Mike Jones is a rapper and "Still Tippin'" is a great song.

The Promise Ring is a really catchy power-pop band from the whole second-wave emo thing.

Nirvana - Bleach
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity

Aphex Twin - Drukqs
Elliott Smith - XO
Iron And Wine And Calexico - In The Reins

My Morning Jacket were sooooooooo good!

Living Colour

I've been listening to George Harrison's [I]All Things Must Pass[/I], a lot.

I've decided that it's by far my favourite Beatle's solo release, and I think I like it just as much as any of the Beatles' albums. It's really great.

Also, I was just listening to [I]Mecca & the Soul Brother[/I] by Pete Rock & CL Smooth. One of my favourite hip-hop albums, it's so jazzy and smooth and whatnot.

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]I'll be at that for sure.

It's at the Trobadour. Have you ever been there before? If so, what's it like?

I'm trying to dig Stfu Stevens for about the 14th time.

[QUOTE=Slug]:eek:

No, but really, just out of curiousity, what about the album do you dislike?[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure. There just seems to be nothing about it that interests me.

But allmusic sucks noodles.

So far for today just a collection of:
M83
Phil Collins
Pluto
Bozzio Levin Stevens

This post was brought to you by the letter "X."

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]Car Chase Terror![/QUOTE]
I don't know why but I quite like that song, as you can no doubt tell. Even with its cheesy voice acting.

Yeah I like it as well. Still, the best tracks on there are easy "Don't Save Us From The Flames" and "Teen Angst".

Eric Clapton
Jonny Lang
Oasis

Right now I'm listening to [I]Jesus of Cool[/I] by Nick Lowe. Good album. He was a producer (for guys like Elvis Costello, and the D[SIZE=2]a[/SIZE]mned), but he also did this great solo pop-rock type stuff. Touches on a lot of different types of pop music, there's bits of Motown, Beatles, doo-wop, etc. It's along the same lines as Elvis Costello, so if you like him then check it.

Great album title too, although it got changed in America. I think it was called "Pure Pop for Now People" there.

Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary

If you don't know about it. I feel sorry for you.

Sunny Day Real Estate are incredible. I just found out about them though a guy at work, and I am glad that I did.

How It Feels To Be Something On > Diary

All lies.

Husker Du - [I]Flip Your Wig[/I]

It's the first album that Grant Hart and Bob Mould produced for the group and you can definatly hear the ever growing pop side in them. Is it on par with [I]New Day Rising[/I], [I]Metal Circus[/I], or [I]Zen Arcade[/I]? Sure. Is it as hard hitting as those albums? Probably not, but it's the album where Husker Du did exactly what they wanted to do and that is what makes this album the best representation of their musical tastes during their SST stint.

[QUOTE=Luxor]How It Feels To Be Something On > Diary[/QUOTE]

I have to 123 this.


DJ Shadow - [I]The Private Press[/I]
Colossamite - [I]All Lingo's Clamor[/I]
Tomahawk
and the new Against Me! is ok
