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

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

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.
