[QUOTE=br3ad_man]Is Ben Folds' solo album any good? Rockin The Suburbs was a pretty good song but nothing amazing...[/QUOTE]

the album is great but nothing like the single. it has more emotional heartfelt songs about suicide, death and lost loves, with a clever outlook on them. its depressing without being overly dramatic. really worth a listen, but first download, annie waits, zak and sara, and carrying cathy.

After listening to "Side One Teaser", I'm so excited on Adrian Belew's album.

oh... my... god... Can we please type out a few words next time? All this internet shorthand sh[i]i[/i]t can become quite tiresome.

And for suggestions... considering the broadness of the Alt/Indie category it's hard to know where to start. So I'll just give you my top 15 of last year: [url]http://www.asymm.net[/url]

sorry about the writing I was in a rush to go and play my bass! because the neighbours get a bit stressy if i play 2 late! will you exept my appologie? < is that spelt right < is that? he he

Yeah... sure I'll accept your apology. So what music do you like so we can give constructive suggestions?

for some reson the new duran duran cd puts me in that mood...you know... :naughty:

Right now, I've been digging Beck's music. The various instruments he uses create a fascinating sound, and I think he has some of the most original lyrics ever:lol:

Recommended songs:
Loser
Two Turntables And A Microphone
Devil's Haircut
Where It's At

There is no song titled "Two Turntables And a Microphone," that line is in the song "Where It's At."

:)

Today I have been listening to Weezer avidly, and I must say I am quite impressed with the "blue album".

:lol:

Amazing.

Ive been listening to a lot by a band called Amplifier recently. They're kinda like a moody, futuristic, metalish band who have just realeased their album. I would recommend giving them a listen, some songs are Motorhead, One Great Summer, Panzer and The Consultancy

Ah. A thousand thank yous.

I've been digging Underoath, beloved, and Tripside. Go to my website to hear them.

Both my mother and my grandma are obsessed. In the car my mom has a music station on that only plays christmas music, and my grandma always has a christmas CD playing in her room.

Saosin-Seven Years ...


somebody help me

Belle And Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress

My dad keeps playing that Christmas album with R2-D2 and C3PO in it the whole day.

My haul for today:

Dimmer - [I]I Believe You Are A Star[/I]
Charles Mingus - [I]Alternate Takes[/I]
John Coltrane - [I]Coltrane[/I]

And finally... Jeff Buckley's [I]Grace[/I]. If this album sucks, then you guys will die.

One of the albums the blokes here rave about that's actually worth raving about.

I got a portable CD player for Jesusmas, which means I can now listen to music without disturbing Daddy, so I went on an indie-pop listening spree.

Beulah, The Cardigans, Starlight Mints, The Unicorns, Pinback, Polyphonic Spree, Kayo Dot.

Yes, Kayo Dot is indie-pop.

Edit: Yeah ok... you guys win this round.

Here's something interesting that happened: I was flipping through the channels in the area of 65-70 that I don't usually watch, when I noticed music videos being played on channel 69. That's the "Style" channel, which is like a whole channel of models walking up and down runways. Well, at this time there was something different going on, where a music video would be playing on one side of the screen as model footage was being shown on the other side.

It was pretty interesting: they showed videos from Mogwai, Kevin Shields, and all sorts of indie-rock-pop goodness.

Cool.

Did you [I]dig[/I] what you saw?

Style channel is for phags, omg.

Yeah, I dug some of it. I rented the "Lost in Translation" DVD, so I already saw the video for Kevin Shields' "City Girl." Scarlett Johansson = Indie girl of the decade.

What I've been digging lately
 

Three albums I didn't think I'd like this much:
[list=1][*]Led Zeppelin - Symbols (IV)[*]Various Artists - We're a Happy Family: A Tribute to Ramones[*]Metallica - Self Titled (Black Album)[/list]

Haha, it's HIM.

...this thread sucks.

NP: David Bowie - [I]Be My Wife[/I]

Nice list dawg, you goin to BDO?

I'm glad someone made a thread in here about Austin City Limits, because I stayed up till 3 AM to watch a re-showing of it. The Flaming Lips + The Shins = a good solid hour of music performing. Best songs were "Race For the Prize" and "Turn A Square" respectively. Thanks to the Internet for finding those song titles too.

Yep I'm there for sure.

No way in hell I'd miss Dimmer.

+reppage.

All those are on sale round these parts too. I gotta pick up "Remain In Light" and "Harvest".

I would too, because it would only be 20 bucks, if it wasn't for the fact that I saw Revolver on vinyl for 18 bucks. That's like half the cd price :eek:
