I've been digging the Pokemon theme song lately, along with the Poke Rap and "Pikachu Rap".

JonM 06-13-2006 08:59 PM

[quote=Zappa]Nope.[/quote]You should check out [i]Neon Golden[/i]. Lali Puna is the side project of several of Notwist's members, if I recall correclty. You can grab it from me if you like, but many others have it.

[I]WHOA![/I] I just downloaded [i]Yhä Hämärää[/i] by Paavoharju because I saw it on someone's slsk list and thought it sounded funny and interesting (I had no idea who the artist was), and it's really very interesting. I'm not sure how many listens I'll get out of it, but I'm glad I'm giving it one at the moment.

They're Finnish, and they're born-again Christians, whatever that means in this particular instance. For more information, I refer you to the [url=http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/21156/Paavoharju_Yh%E4+h%E4m%E4r%E4%E4]Pitchfork review[/url], which seems accurate so far.

cb240 06-13-2006 10:17 PM

I'll give that a try ^^

pppoe 06-13-2006 10:45 PM

I remember listening to Paavoharju like a year ago.

Do Make Say Think - [I]& Yet & Yet[/I]

JonM 06-14-2006 08:28 AM

That's a cool record. They've made a couple cool records.

ATM 06-14-2006 08:44 AM

Yea I like that album as well. It's nice to study to.

pixiesfanyo 06-14-2006 11:26 AM

I write too it.

It's cool. Today..

Blonde Redhead - [I]In An Expression of The Inexpressiable[/I]
Cursive -[I] Happy Hollow[/I] (really big grower)

pppoe 06-14-2006 11:29 AM

I'll give [I]Happy Hollow[/I] another spin. Is there something I'm missing?

Zebra 06-14-2006 11:30 AM

Pink Floyd - Meddle

The only thing wrong with this is [I]Echoes[/I]. What a snoozefest.

RedMorningLight 06-14-2006 11:54 AM

[QUOTE=I Was A Kaleidoscope]The Bronx - The Bronx[/QUOTE]
Good call. For me it's that along with Hot Snakes - [I]Audit In Progress[/I] and The Cribs - [I]The New Fellas[/I].

[QUOTE=Mary Mother of the Church]I'll give [I]Happy Hollow[/I] another spin. Is there something I'm missing?[/QUOTE]

It's catchy as a mother ****er. Plus listen to it and don't think it's Cursive.

pppoe 06-14-2006 12:17 PM

I can't do that.

Robert Crumb 06-14-2006 12:37 PM

Caetano Veloso and Mantronix.

ATM 06-14-2006 12:53 PM

I love that album so much. Eddie Hazel is a god.

Interstate 06-14-2006 01:23 PM

Red House Painters - [I]Red House Painters I[/I] - I'm starting to think this album may be in my top ten favourite ever albums. (As of right now anyway).

The Afghan Whigs - [I]Gentlemen[/I]

Anxious 06-14-2006 01:57 PM

The Microphones- Window

do you guys here listen to them?

Interstate 06-14-2006 01:59 PM

[QUOTE=Anxious Mo-Fo]The Microphones- Window

do you guys here listen to them?[/QUOTE]

Yeah. [I]Mt Eerie[/I] is the only thing I've heard by them though. It lives up to it's name.

pppoe 06-14-2006 02:05 PM

medic on Soulseek, Nacho. Send a message first, though. Userlist only.

Anxious 06-14-2006 02:05 PM

[QUOTE=Interstate]Yeah. [I]Mt Eerie[/I] is the only thing I've heard by them though. It lives up to it's name.[/QUOTE]
After that album, Phil Evlrum changed the name of the band to MT. Eerie and changed the sound to sound exatcly like that album. I like their older stuff better.

pppoe 06-14-2006 02:08 PM

Phil Elvrum is one of those dudes that will always be in my heart, even if he does release the worst album ever.

Little Man being Erased 06-14-2006 03:00 PM

Interpol - [I]Turn on the Bright Lights[/I]

moosepirate 06-14-2006 03:07 PM

Wilco- [I]Summerteeth[/I]
Circulatory System- [I]Circulatory System[/I]

Robert Crumb 06-14-2006 03:08 PM

Feelies. I haven't been to the music store in a while, thought I'd check in. Found a used copy of Crazy Rhythms, $6. Been looking for this for ages. Good stuff.

Zappa 06-14-2006 03:08 PM

[I]Neon Golden[/I] by the Notwist is remarkably mediocre.

JonM 06-14-2006 03:13 PM

Well okay then.

Robert Crumb 06-14-2006 03:21 PM

Yeah. But Anton Fier. Is any of the Golden Palominos stuff worth checking out?

Zappa 06-14-2006 03:59 PM

[QUOTE=JonM]Well okay then.[/QUOTE]

Sorry, that was a little harsh. I can see a lot of good in it, but the melodies just don't hold up for me. When they incorporate the acoustic instruments the arrangements become quite rich and interesting, but a lot of the blander electronic accompaniments paired with hum-drum vocals make for nothing too exciting. It's all fairly pleasant, and now and again pretty enjoyable, but nothing I can see myself listening to much in the future.

Ornery Cephalopod 06-14-2006 04:24 PM

the first track from Boris - [i]Pink[/i] is pretty awesome. now I just need to get the rest of it.

other than that, I've been diggin':

Cerberus Shoal - a couple different albums
The Unicorns - [i]Who Will Cut Our Hair[/i]
The Coral - [i]Invisible Invasion[/i]
Acid Bath - [i]Paegan Terrorism Tactics[/i]

thetrickedoutfernandez 06-14-2006 04:26 PM

do any of you listen to some good local indie bands i can think of a couple in my town im just looking for more stuff thats out there so just post a link to soemthing if u know of one

pppoe 06-14-2006 04:38 PM

Starlight Mints - [I]Dream That Stuff Was Made Of[/I]

Dog 06-14-2006 05:12 PM

Loose Fur - [I]Born Again In The USA[/I]
Seems really mediocre on the first spin. Maybe I'm missing something.

Final Fantasy - [I]Has A Good Home[/I]
This is great, though. I need to check out [I]He Poos Clouds[/I].

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]Great album. I wish the bulk of it lived up to the first two tracks, but that'd be a pretty tall order.[/QUOTE]
The whole thing is a classic.

[QUOTE=thetrickedoutfernandez]do any of you listen to some good local indie bands i can think of a couple in my town im just looking for more stuff thats out there so just post a link to soemthing if u know of one[/QUOTE]

i'll list some good ones:

Panic in the Streets: these guys actually broke up in january, but they were amazing and went on to start another great band i'll list in a second. they sound kind of like Sonic Youth + At the Drive-In.
[url]http://www.myspace.com/panicinthestreets[/url]

Lanterns: Panic in the Streets started this band after their singer left, they added another guitarist and changed their single-vocal driven poppy sound into a more noisey sound with gang-chanted vocals. like PitS was, but more fuzzy, punky, and experimental.
[url]http://www.myspace.com/wearelanterns[/url]

Meneguar: These guys aren't local, they're actually across the country from me, but i love 'em.
[url]http://www.myspace.com/meneguar[/url]

The F'ucking Buckaroos: these guys aren't local either, they're up north of me in San Francisco, but they're my friend's older brother's band. they are like crazy folk-bluegrass-punk.
[url]http://www.myspace.com/thef[/url][size=2]u[/size]ckinbuckaroos
(copy/paste the link)

Silver Sunshine: these guys have that psychedelic Beatles-ish sound that lots of bands on E6 have, but they're not on E6. they play a lot of shows with Dungen though.
[url]http://www.myspace.com/silversunshine[/url]

War and Cinema: post-rock band with 2 female singers. very pretty sound.
[url]http://www.myspace.com/warandcinema[/url]

Mere Woods: instrumental punk, like Drive Like Jehu without vocals. very cool guitar playing.
[url]http://www.myspace.com/merewoods[/url]

Super Mega Terror: one of the few humor-metal bands that is actually funny, mainly because they know what they're doing. the LOTR sound-clip at the beginning lets you know that they're tr00 metal.
[url]http://www.myspace.com/cactusiscool[/url]

For the High Seas: ok, this is my ex-band. we broke up after spending 3 months recording our CD and then releasing it. a month later we split :(. we sounded kind of like My Bloody Valentine + The Arcade Fire + Flaming Lips, with a female singer.
