Fall Out Boy - [I]Take This To Your Grave[/I]

[QUOTE=sgrevs;13378253]Jose Gonzalez - Veneer

this guy is damned good.[/QUOTE]

The album, Heartbeats aside, hasn't really grabbed me.

I like it, he's got a cool voice.

Listening to the new Califone, [I]Roots and Crowns[/I]. I've been really impressed with this one, they're definitely keeping up with their awesome back catalogue. Their cover of Psychic TV's "The Orchids" is freaking phenomenal.

I love that damn band.

Still diggin' on [I]Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain[/I]. I'm getting into it more and more with each listen and I can feel it starting to grab me.

Raekwon
GZA
Ghostface

Prodigy - [I]The Fat Of The Land[/I]
Missy Elliott

16 Horsepower - Folklure

Everyone needs to hear this. Great alt country

The Killers - [I]Sam's Town[/i]
Dinosaur Jr. - [I]You're Living All Over Me[/I]

Flipper
Sunburned Hand of the Man
Black Dice

brainiac- hissing prigs in static couture

mmmmm haven't heard this in months.

hey sr800bk you were right about how much Lou Barlow's bass chords rule in YLAOM. i figured out how to play the ones from "In A Jar" but there's lots more to try too :)

yeah i want to see them live again. seeing him actually playing all that stuff was a great moment in my life.


anyway, my friend burned me a mix. so far i'm really liking the stuff she put on it. some Broadcast, Ilya, Boards of Canada, Sneaker Pimps, Telefon Tel Aviv, and some other stuff. i'm gonna have to look further into these bands.

Broadcast's [I]Tender Buttons[/I] was one of the better releases of last year.

Yea, that's a nice album.

I've had [i]Boys and Girls in America[/i] by the Hold Steady on repeat all day.

I listened to [i]Alligator[/i] for most of yesterday as well. Such a great record.

I haven't even bothered to write that one in here. I've listened to it about 10 times since Monday.

Whiskeytown - [I]Pneumonia[/I]

haven't listened yet but I just got it, because I heard one of their other tracks ("Choked Up") and became interested immediately. Seriously, you guys should get that song. It's one of those really catchy, kind of sad/nostalgic/bittersweet songs that everybody likes because it makes them feel good, even though it's only a slightly happy song.

that was a terrible description but you'll know what I mean if you hear it. This should have been a really big hit.

Yeah, Whiskeytown are pretty great. It's actually quite embarrassing that I don't have any of their albums, considering my Ryan Adams fanboy-ish qualities.

[FONT="Book Antiqua"]Despite some of the members here feelings towards The Killers, I've been listening to their latest album.

The Strokes - First Impression Of Earth

& recently a bit of Eve 6.[/FONT]

New Hold Steady is pretty good.

I heard some of that new Killers album in the record store tonight and it sounded decent.

Listening to some leaked Deftones songs I got yesterday. "Beware" is pretty tight.

And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead - Source Tags & Codes

First listen. I like the drums.

Amos Lee - Amos Lee

Not so much first listen, because this is excellent. Only one song (of eleven) even approaches mediocre.

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - [I]The Platinum & Gold Collection[/I]
EPMD - [I]Business As Usual[/I]

Strictly old skool day today.

Off Minor
[B]
Best hardcore band ever.[/B]

Bob Dylan - [i]Blood on the Tracks[/i]

I love Dylan, but this album really never struck me as anythign extraordinary. It's certainly better than most of his post-Nashville Skyline work, but it still pales in comparison to his 60s efforts.

The Decemberists - [i]The Crane Wife[/i]

I'm really liking this so far. I love their typical eccentric, jangly pop tales, but after 3 albums of much fo the same, a change like this is certainly welcome.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath;13387103]That skool never gets old :mad:[/QUOTE]


:p

Finished listening to a couple of albums that I haven't heard for years just now. Very nostalgic:

Iron Maiden - [I]Brave New World[/I]
Deep Purple - [I]Greatest Hits[/I]

Ryan Adams - [I]Cold Roses[/I]

still awesome. Reminds me of a more plaintive Calexico or something. I can't even listen to the new Trail of Dead because this keeps distracting me.

Franz Ferdinand - S/T

Possibly my favorite modern rock band as of this very second.

Of course, the album can't compare with seeing them live, which was amazing.

[QUOTE=Interstate;13386611]DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - [I]The Platinum & Gold Collection[/I][/QUOTE]

I haven't listened to them in forever. My birthday [I]is[/I] coming up.....

I would never ask you, because Trail of Dead is one of the best bands currently operating!

even [I]Worlds Apart[/I] was awesome despite how much crap it got for not being an exact [I]Source Tags[/I] replica.

[I]Worlds Apart[/I] was a real grower. I love it. Maybe as much as [I]Source Tags and Codes[/I]. I really want to hear the new album but I'm not sure if I should buy it. Maybe a download is required.

Honeycut - The Day I Turned to Glass

If you were one of those pasty trip-hop kids who was all like, "wtf Shadow!" this might appeal. Really cool mellow alt soul/pop/electronic stuff from his imprint. Big Shuggie Otis influence, really ****ing good arrangments, white boy melodicism filtered through some pretty nice grooves. Me likey.

Deerhoof - [I]Apple O'[/I]

Not sure what to think of this yet. The high-pitched girl vocals kind of took me by surprise, but I got used to it. I expected it to be more punk-y than it was too.

[QUOTE=Bartender;13386381]And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead - Source Tags & Codes

First listen. I like the drums.[/QUOTE]

yeah the drums are crazy, especially those machine-gun snare bursts in "How Near How Far" and the tuned tom hits in the intro to "Heart In the Hand of the Matter."

and what's really cool is that both the main songwriters switch drums whenever the other is playing guitar/singing

Yeah it's pretty cool to see them do it live.

Grizzly Bear - [i]Yellow House[/i]

I first listened to this as a leak in August - then I preordered it on vinyl. Then the vinyl was delayed so I'm just listening to it again, one month later, today. Gorgeous sleeve/record.

hah, i was just listening to this a couple of days ago. fun listen.

The Embarrassment - [I]Heyday[/I]
Joy Division - [I]Unknown Pleasures[/I]

might put Lupe Fiasco on later, depending.
