You got fired?

I'm listening to a whole buch of stuff I'll be catching at Splendour next weekend.

DJ Shadow
Sonic Youth
Beach Boys
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Presets
You Am I
Death Cab for Cutie

And I'm even giving TV on the Radio and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah another chance. No luck so far though.

The new Tv on The Radio is awesome. I dig alot.

I'm starting to listen to Amon Tobin, he's some Jungle music guy. Very dark.

I really like Jaga Jazzist. Really, really like.

I am on an "Islands" kick myself. The two frontmen of the Unicorns trio. Great stuff.

No it isn't.

what the fudge are you talking about negro? It rules.

It's terriblely boring.

I'm guessing you like everything Pitchfork likes Cheeto?

TV on the Radio are really nothing special or even at all interesting.

I didn't even get introduced to Tv On The Radio through Pitchfork. My friends gave it to me.

TV On the Radio is special, but it's up to your personal taste to decide if they're interesting or not.

Anyway I finally came to my senses and realized how awesome the song "River Euphrates" is. At first I didn't like it that much because it was too disturbing, but I've stopped being a pu[size=2]ssy[/size] and learned to enjoy it :)

k so I guess I should stop listening to crappy ol' Tv on the radio =(

Now its time for Frog Eyes and Minutemen.

Well you know how it is with the Pixies. You get your muffled screams here and there, it's a nice way to add some complexity to the group.

Anyway, I've heard of Cows and Owls but never Bats. Do these groups sound anything alike?

They're all pretty different from each other.

i got some CD by TV on the Radio a while back called OK Calculator. worst crap i've ever heard. is it really them? doesn't sound like the cool electronic jazzy indie stuff i remember their other stuff to be.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]I think it's their first demos or something that they didn't intend for release? Something like that.

Ween - [I]The Mollusk[/I]

This gets better each time. Started out as "crap", and is now "wow not that bad at all". However "The Blarney Stone" is still unlistenable.[/QUOTE]
if i were them, i wouldn't intend it to be released either. i'd probably kill myself along with everyone who encouraged me to record it.

TV on the Radio is good. Latest album is good. Old album is good. Still waiting for something great. Never heard the OK Calculator ****. Wouldn't be surprised if it sucked.

Diggin' some Gal Costa at the moment. Trying to decide on what to play next, something that runs around a half hour long.

Told ya'll. Everyone whos heard it has a hard on for it, it's a beautiful thing.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]Good song. Disturbing how?

Anyway, everyone should listen to the Bats.[/QUOTE]

They're a decent band. Pretty boring live but.

Oh yeah, Nacho - I listened to some of that White Whale record the other night. It seemed decent, kinda odd aswell.

Who would you liken them to? There's a get up kid in the band right?

That's kinda what I thought. Like a guitar-Decemberists.

So this "dig" isn't literal...[fifth amendment]...got to go

Ok first post, so I don't know if anybodys mentioned this yet but I just downloaded the first Solo album by Thom Yorke and it's pretty good... Although it's a little lacking if you go into it expecting it to be a new Radiohead release... I think you have to look at it as more of an unplugged Thom acoustic cd of sorts.. All in all good album.

Also lately I've been listening to
The Eels
Sigur Ros
Iron and Wine
Damien Rice
and a lot of random acoustic cover songs from and by various artists

BORING.

Kill, kill kill for peace.

What? was that directed at my post? That post wasn't very specific.
