Well first off it sucks.

[quote=Dimes Make Dollars;8228645]anyways

Sufjan Stevens - [I]Illnois[/I]

completely brilliant[/quote]123. Seriously probably the best album of the year.

i think the melodies are well written, and it's definitely a step above most current stuff.
obviously dosn'tsound like their other stuff,but that doesn't matter. it shouldn't really be compared. if i had t compare it, it'd definitely not match up. but it's good on its own.

A Sun Came is good, but it has never really amazed me or anything.

i duno if i'd say that

i really like Year Of Our Lord from [I]Enjoy Your Rabbit[/I]

Klashnekoff - [I]The Sagas Of[/I]

Damien Jurado - [I]And Now That I'm In Your Shadow[/I]

Man this is good.

Bushwick Bill - Phantom of the Rapra

Patti Smith

yeah

There's this DJ named Ricardo Villalobos who I feel like I've plugged a few times but too subtly for anyone to check him out. You really should. Get either [i]Thé Au Harem D'Archimède[/i] or [i]Fizheuer Zieheuer[/i]. Or both.

Menomena - Friend and Foe

This is really damn good, try and track down a copy.

While on the subject of Menomena, I also strongly suggest you check out their debut, [i]I Am The Fun Blame Monster[/i]. Not only is that an anagram for [i]The First Menomena Album,[/i] which is awesome, it is also awesome in a musical sense.

what sort of music are they?

if thats hard to answer, what bands would you relate them to

It's like very intelligent, not overly poppy indie rock, but it's not exactly rock either. Read the part in this article about their songwriting process, and imagine a group of technically proficient rock musicians writing songs like that:

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menomena[/url]

sounds like Apollo Sunshine

i'll have to get [I]i am the fun blame monster[/I]

i will read the wikipedia article directly after my refreshing shower

which is to begin in approximately two minutes

All I have is [I]Friend and Foe[/I], I quite like it.

I'm getting a Lucinda Williams album right now.

dunno why

Listening to the new Modest Mouse right now. Kind of boring the first time around, it will probably grow on me.

is it good quality?

Deerhoof - Friend Opportunity

pretty good

i wanna hear the new modest mouse...

Still [i]Change[/i] by The Dismemberment Plan

man, "The Other Side" owns so much. its like Minus The Bear in double time (yeah i just HAD to compare something to MTB so what). and there's also "Automatic" which is actually a good ballad (the ones on E&I are kinda lame)

Radiohead - The Bends
World/Inferno Friendship Society - Red-eyed Soul

Smashing Pumpkins - Adore
Eluvium - Copia

Modern Life Is War - [I]My Love. My Way.[/I]
Cat Power - [I]Myra Lee [/I](Whoever said "Rockets" was an amazing song; I agree)
Pavement - [I]Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain[/I]
Yaphet Kotto - [I]The Killer Was In Government Blankets[/I]

Rockets is an amazing song.

It's definitely a new favourite.

[QUOTE=Jawaharal;14212441]Deerhoof - Friend Opportunity

pretty good[/QUOTE]

More than just.



Espers - [I]II[/I]
Extra Golden - [I]Ok-Oyot System[/I]

Anyone heard Grinderman? It's Nick Cave with some guy from Dirty Three and some other guys.

Isn't it new?

nah i feel that way a lot. most recently with The Mats' "Can't Hardly Wait"

i think i've gotten over "Zurich Is Stained" though, i can appreciate its length as it is

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo;14213018]Isn't it new?[/QUOTE]

Yeah. It isn't getting a very good reception from RYM but it's Nick Cave so it can't be that bad.

Busdriver - [I]RoadkillOvercoat[/I]

Everyone go listen to "Kill Your Employer" right now.

Eluvium - When I Live by the Garden and the Sea

Is that record any good? I've heard one song and it seems a little boring.

If you think one Eluvium song is boring you'll think every Eluvium song is boring.

Everyone go listen to "Kill Your Employer" right now.[/quote]Post-recreational paranoia is the sport of now!

[I]Double Nickles on the Dime[/I]

This is perfect when you don't know what to listen to.
