Elliott Smith wooot

I'm starting to prep myself for BDO next year, so a lot of the artists on the bill have been gracing my playlists.

I'm digging the Cure right now, [I]Disintegration[/I] is ridiculously good. There was a 4 hour long Cure special on MTV yesterday, and that got me back into them. It also made me realise that 54% of MTV's programming is commercials for ringtones.

Can you please explain to me why the Cure are liked by so many? I just cannot for the life me see the big deal.

I dunno... I just likes the music. Layered, atmospheric, and other critic words. They have some garbage, but when they're good it's brilliant.

Have you heard Disintegration? That CD would be in my top 10, probably.

No I havn't. They seem dramatic and Fat Bob seems so self loathing.

I have "Boys Don't Cry" on vinyl, and it's pretty woeful

You need to hear "Disintegration". Robert Smith defintiely scares me though. The only song I've heard off Boys Dont Cry is the title track but it rules.

The Cure are so popular because they're a pop band. But their image makes it okay for the indie kids to love them.

Lemons.

^I was [I]half[/I] kidding with that post, by the way.

I love The Cure. In my top 5 bands ever.

"Boys Don't Cry" is my least favorite Cure record. I like it even less than "Bloodflowers!"

Yeah it's pretty melodramatic, but it doesn't really bother me with them.

Honestly, Disintegration is pretty essential. If you're interested at all, check out the song [I]Fascination Street[/I].

And since this threads gone off track a bit: right now I'm digging De La Soul, because I just heard [I]The Grind Date[/I] on the radio.

My friend told me to listen to De La Soul and they really were a worth the time, The Grind Date is quite nice.

The Killers 'Hot Fuss' and The Futureheads 'The Futureheads'

De La Soul are awesome. Such a fun band, but they have substance aswell.

Right now I'm listening to the "Summers Kiss EP", by Dashboard.

Duncan Sheik - [I]Phantom Moon[/I]

I was listening to Handsome Boy Modelling School.

Now I'm gonna check out the Sonic Youth album sr800bk's sending to me. (Daydream Nation) Feedback tomorrow.

Ew, I don't like that album.

Right now I'm listening to the Happy Mondays, because I was playing GTA:SA, and Shaun Ryder does the voice for a character in it, and he's f[COLOR=White]u[/COLOR]cking great, so I decided to listen to [I]Pills Thrills and Bellyaches[/I]. The end.

The Fall have been getting a lil play.

Lately
 

As of late, I've been switching genres randomly with my mood. I'm feeling that emo void which much be filled by the perfect album for the moment. Been writing some lyrics/poetry that I'm quite happy with too. g/f and stress from school are helping that along.

Benton Falls
Lewis
Mars Volta
Dispatch
ATD-I
Sparta
The String Quartet
Lindsey Pool
Rilo Kiley
Justin King
(Relaxation/meditation nature sounds)
Justin king
Cursive
Built to Spill
(live jazz)

I suppose I'm trying to mix styles w/feelings and other styles. See if I can get creative in any way possible. I'm trying to find out what I want to do with my life (picking a major, girlfriend, life...). Plenty of things are being pondered right now. I'm looking for the right musical influences to alter my situation and decisions positively, or at least how they should affect me. Kinda deep. IM me and we can talk. It'll be wholesome and worth while.

Looks pretty straight forward to me...

I've been cranking Lightning Bolt lately, they're a big band

^ Ha! That's actually funny if you think about it.

But they do kick entirely too much anus.

?

Yeah they're great, I downloaded a mp3 of Cedric Bixler being interviewed, and he said Lightning Bolt are one of his favourite bands :cool:

That's strange, he and Omar always seem to be bitching about heavy bands.

Weird little spic men those 2.

They are quite the pair

Can I say Carcass in here, or what

And I finally obtained Mezzanine, thanks to Bartender's recommendation, I will let you know what I think shortly!

^^^
Mezzanine is a good album and Lightning Bolt are pretty wicked as well.

...and you (will know us by the trail of dead) laughed at me for liking Something Corporate. :smash:

Today we had a conservatorium jazz group vist the school. They played like 6 originals and "Straight Street". So I was digging them. Other than that I've been listening to:

Elbow
Nine Inch Nails
Beach Boys
Bob Dylan
CSNY

Iai: Enjoy Daydream Nation, 'tis very good.
