It's refreshing to see someone else mention minusthebear and q and not u.... they're amazing. The new Modest Mouse is the best thing i've heard in some time as well...

I another couple bands I've really been into lately has been Bright Eyes, i'm really getting in to Grey AM and Joy Division, Juliana Theory is pretty good too... also LAX, they're a rather obscure band for the late 70's and early 80's, it's new wave and they did a song called "Ronnie's Song"... obviously about President Reagan. I've been trying to find albums and I've had no luck, I heard they're all out of print... Anyone know where I could maybe find some LAX albums?

Hmm, the new Modest Mouse did nothing for me. I like the music, but the singer...he's too modest and he sounds like a mouse.

oh crap... I almost forgot... any of ya guys heard of cursive and/or murder by death (aka Little Joe Gould)... they're both incredibly amazing.... anything you can find of either one of these bands I highly recommend!

cursive is allright.

How do ya guys feel about the Secret Machines? I think the new album is very powerful, I really dig it. It's very Floyd-like or something that the effect.

I really enjoy Cursive. My sister and I share their albums like a team.

Anyone else caught on to The Honeymoon yet? They're great.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk!

Minus The Bear is good, but you can have too much. I can't listen to the entire album, just a few tracks, too many of them sound too similar.

No.

Descripton puhlease.

Edit: to Iai's post.

The Long Winters
Pedro The Lion
Iron And Wine
The Prom
John Vanderslice

a few bands/artists i've been listening to lately

I've been heavily digging The Black Keys.

A lot of Two Ton Shoe right now. I miss funk rock back home:(

Lots of Bloc Party, great band and they were [SIZE=2]d[/SIZE]amn good live. The lead singer/guitarist Kele has real star quality goin for him.

I'm massively digging Nick Drake at the moment. Pink Moon is so great. So short but so great.

Get Bryter Layter as soon as you see it, Pink Moon's essential but BL is a masterpiece in itself.

The Grey Album is so good.

Ani Difranco's live version of Grey is so d[I]a[/I]mn beautiful, dammit.

Antipop Consortium are amazingly good.

Oh, yeah! The other APC. :cool: Haven't heard from those guys in a while. They kick it, though.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]No.

About The Honeymoon? You'd have to call them pop, but they're pop in a way pop fans won't appreciate anywhere near as much as indie fans. Hugely melodic, really melancholy. They have a male and a female vocalist - I'm pretty sure they're just a duo and the guy does all the music.

They sound very Scandinavian. Which might seem an odd thing to say, but they do.

Try Reconcile if you wanna download something and check them out.

My friend told me about them last night, so I downloaded "Arrhythmia." It's AWESOME.

No problem. :)

I just listened to the Denali tracks I downloaded ages ago. I'm stunned. Great stuff.

Hey Iai, you should come online so I can send you that Rahsaan Roland Kirk stuff that Medopalis and I enjoy so much.

Will do tomorrow. Backing up and formatting my PC right now. :upset:
