Piano Overlord (Scott Herren's other project)

The songs are a lot more keyboard/synth based, as the name implies, than the usual Prefuse.

Sebadoh - [i]III[/i]
and I'm about to watch [i]The Wire[/i] and then go see Man Man play live. It's going to be a great evening.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - [I]No More Shall We Part[/I]

so far so good

why is nick cave so effing awesome

The Flaming Lips - [I]Clouds Taste Metallic[/I]
Hüsker Dü - [I]Zen Arcade[/I]
The Bronx - [I]The Bronx[/I]
TV on the Radio - [I]Return to Cookie Mountain[/I]

First time listening to all of those. [I]Clouds Tast Metallic[/I] is my first taste of pre-[I]Soft Bulletin[/I] FLips and it is excellent. Couldn't really dig [I]Zen Arcade[/I] except for a handful of songs, but I'm not surprised because I don't normally listen to stuff like it. I'll definitely give it a chance to grow though. [I]The Bronx[/I] is mind-fuc[size=2]king[/size]ly awesome. [I]Return to Cookie Mountain[/I] is a hell of a lot better than [I]Desperate Youth[/I].

I was waiting for that. But [I]Zen Arcade[/I] just seemed a bit boring for some reason. Maybe I wasn't in the correct frame of mind at the time.

1 Annie 13

4 Lauryn Hill 10
5 TV on the Radio 6

[i]Zen Arcade[/i] has a lot of boring stuff in it. But the good stuff is so good (including just about anything by Grant Hart) so keep listening :)

awww daaang. It's weird that I know these guys, and it sucks that everyone (Pitchfork) hates Aaron's voice. Are you listening to their new album?

p.s. Did you see Man Man in Champaign? I was planning on going with some friends, but I ended up staying home.

The Fiery Furnaces


These guys deserve all the hype.

Sooo much of The Residents. I downloaded a large collection of albums and I can't get enough of them. Man, this rekindles my already fiery passion for those eyeball headed strangers.

I think [I]154[/I] by Wire is FINALLY starting to grab me. It's been a longtime coming.

Wires on Fire - s/t

At last I found this. It's tamer than the EP in some respects, but there's some really memorable songs here. Kind of what The Bronx did on their new one. I miss the mean riffs though.

I'm digging the new Yo La Tengo album as of late.

Nope, I'm at school - so I'm in Des Moines. They played the Vaudeville Mews here - only about 25-30 people attended the show.

Scott Walker
Pixies
Magnetic Fields

yeah I'm checking out the link just now.

OK Dimez, critique:

[b]Class of '05:[/b]
I have to say I really liked this song a LOT. The intro is cool, in a sloppy Tom Waits-y kind of way. The chorus is killer, catchy-as-**** and with great vocals which remind me of Defiance Ohio. I'm not suckin' it to ya, I really love this song.

[b]Book Of All:[/b]
Cool song as well, great vocals again and nice noodly guitar line and jazzy drumbeat. Almost as good as the first song.

[b]Firecracker:[/b]
Not much I can say, it's a fun pop punk song.

and the last one isn't really a song so...

All in all, you guys have lots of potential. I like your sound a lot, it's like a great mix of things I like. Special props to the vocalists. I'd not have done this, but the first song was so good I couldn't not. Keep it up man.

Incidentally, what is your role in this band?

I've been listening to the Flaming Lips all night. Listening to all of their 80's, 90's and current stuff on shuffle is really cool.

my new thing. br3ad_man and sketchyjoe will like it.[/QUOTE]

When do you have time to do this, you post on here your whole life.

Its good.

I've been listening to a lot of Fiery Furnaces and Björk lately.

I tried listening to those songs, but apparently MySpace music hates me and doesn't want me to listen to music there.

I listened to that first song. It was alright. Sounded a bit too much like ska in places.

Swans - [I]Filth[/I]
Calvin Johnson - [I]Before The Dream Faded[/I]

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars;13331156]many thanks for the critiques, these are very nice things to hear. I'm the drummer.[/QUOTE]
Pretty awesome. I clicked to listen as it was mentioned in a punk forum thread, and I didn't realize it was your band. Good stuff.


This week I intend to listen to almost exclusively music from the czech republic.
