awww daaang. It's weird that I know these guys, and it sucks that everyone (Pitchfork) hates Aaron's voice. Are you listening to their new album?

[QUOTE=asymm;13324489]Sebadoh - [i]III[/i]
and I'm about to watch [i]The Wire[/i] and then go see Man Man play live. It's going to be a great evening.[/QUOTE]

p.s. Did you see Man Man in Champaign? I was planning on going with some friends, but I ended up staying home.

The Fiery Furnaces


These guys deserve all the hype.

Sooo much of The Residents. I downloaded a large collection of albums and I can't get enough of them. Man, this rekindles my already fiery passion for those eyeball headed strangers.

I think [I]154[/I] by Wire is FINALLY starting to grab me. It's been a longtime coming.

Wires on Fire - s/t

At last I found this. It's tamer than the EP in some respects, but there's some really memorable songs here. Kind of what The Bronx did on their new one. I miss the mean riffs though.

I'm digging the new Yo La Tengo album as of late.

Nope, I'm at school - so I'm in Des Moines. They played the Vaudeville Mews here - only about 25-30 people attended the show.

Scott Walker
Pixies
Magnetic Fields

yeah I'm checking out the link just now.

OK Dimez, critique:

[b]Class of '05:[/b]
I have to say I really liked this song a LOT. The intro is cool, in a sloppy Tom Waits-y kind of way. The chorus is killer, catchy-as-**** and with great vocals which remind me of Defiance Ohio. I'm not suckin' it to ya, I really love this song.

[b]Book Of All:[/b]
Cool song as well, great vocals again and nice noodly guitar line and jazzy drumbeat. Almost as good as the first song.

[b]Firecracker:[/b]
Not much I can say, it's a fun pop punk song.

and the last one isn't really a song so...

All in all, you guys have lots of potential. I like your sound a lot, it's like a great mix of things I like. Special props to the vocalists. I'd not have done this, but the first song was so good I couldn't not. Keep it up man.

Incidentally, what is your role in this band?

I've been listening to the Flaming Lips all night. Listening to all of their 80's, 90's and current stuff on shuffle is really cool.

my new thing. br3ad_man and sketchyjoe will like it.[/QUOTE]

When do you have time to do this, you post on here your whole life.

Its good.

I've been listening to a lot of Fiery Furnaces and Björk lately.

I tried listening to those songs, but apparently MySpace music hates me and doesn't want me to listen to music there.

I listened to that first song. It was alright. Sounded a bit too much like ska in places.

Swans - [I]Filth[/I]
Calvin Johnson - [I]Before The Dream Faded[/I]

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars;13331156]many thanks for the critiques, these are very nice things to hear. I'm the drummer.[/QUOTE]
Pretty awesome. I clicked to listen as it was mentioned in a punk forum thread, and I didn't realize it was your band. Good stuff.


This week I intend to listen to almost exclusively music from the czech republic.

Great tunes, they're awesomely catchy. I love the vocals. gg man.

Magnetic Fields (loving them a lot just now)
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock

I'm diggin all the Dead Prez records, but they're not diggin me very much. I wonder why this phenomenon of white people getting way into explicitly anti-white music occurs? I'm totally feelin all these songs, and half of them are about killing white people.

[QUOTE]Magnetic Fields (loving them a lot just now)[/QUOTE]

dude you better have 69 love songs.

Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole

I didn't realize how good "Where Do I Begin" is until today

Tom Petty - [I]Damn the Torpedoes[/I]

Animal Collective - [I]Sung Tongs[/I]

I had an idea in my head of what Animal Collective would sound like, and I was a long way off. I don't know if I like it though. It seemed a bit fruity.

Sonic Youth - [I]Sister[/I]

This is much better then [I]Daydream Nation[/I].

Six Organs of Admittance

UNKLE - Never, Never, Land and Psyence Fiction

I can't tell which one I like better, but they're both fantastic.

[QUOTE=Zebra;13334710]Sonic Youth - [I]Sister[/I]

This is much better then [I]Daydream Nation[/I].[/QUOTE]

it's much more acessible and has some great songs.

I don't know if I like it better than Daydream Nation though :\

These dudes are from Toronto; I have their album, it's pretty good.

Today:
Yo La Tengo - [I]I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One[/I]
At The Drive-In - [I]Relationship of Command[/I]
Drive Like Jehu - [I]Yank Crime[/I]

*[i]I Can Feel the Heart Beating Your As[size=2]s[/size][/i]

Thom Yorke - [I]The Eraser[/I]
Justin Timberlake - [I]FutureSex/LoveSounds[/I]
Three 6 Mafia - [I]Most Known Unknown[/I]
Against Me! - [I]The Disco Before The Breakdown[/I]

I think there's some deal with my internet access here that recognizes peer-to-peer transferring, and slows them. I started this download (of the blanky of sound) at about 60k/s, and now it's down to about 2k/s.

That's messed up, man. My connection at home just goes at 2k/s all the time.

Otis Rush - [I]An Introduction to Otis Rush[/I]

Modest Mouse - [I]The Lonesome Crowded West[/I]

This album is so good.

Oh and The Drones - [I]The Millers Daughters[/I]

I'd go so far as saying they're my all time favourite. With stuff like [I]I Believe[/I] (holy crap, what a song, jesus), Someone on Your Bond[I][/I], [I]Mean Streak[/I], [I]Slammin on The Breaks[/I] and [I]Bird In A Church[/I] all on one disc...and another 3 albums all full of pure gold. S[I]h[/I]it man.

Big call man. I might pick up their new one when I hit the big smoke in a bit over a week.
