Joanna Newsom


Seeing her on Thursday.

pixiesfanyo 01-26-2007 04:43 PM

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars;14108545]yeah she's a lot better live than on record. It's just cool seeing her do what she does, because playing the harp is crazy.

Got my tickets for Explosions in the Sky in March. Not a great band but they're pretty good at what they do.[/QUOTE]

Plus that bill is so good.

Paper Chase Eluvium and EiTS.

I'm looking forward to it quite a bit. I have like 8 people coming with me, which is crazy because I normally have trouble finding 1 person to come with me.

They would be sweet live, I think.

Current Favs- some tremendous bands
 
What I've been listening to these days...

1. The Frames! Now here we have an Irish band- real big in Ireland, haven't QUITE caught on in the states yet. But I'm sure they will, cuz they're just unbelievable. These guys put so much emotion into their live shows that it's almost frightening to listen to some of ther songs. The words 'bipolar' and 'manic' would immediately come to mind when thinking of the contrast between their peaceful folk rock melodies and the breathtakingly powerful choruses they usually stampede into immediately after- take a listen to this, you'll see what I mean

2. Mazzy Star/Hope Sandoval- Hope Sandoval pretty easily lays claim to the title of my favorite female voice. It's just hypnotic to hear her sing, and her blues/folk/rock style is really beautiful. Both her solo work and her work with Mazzy Star is top notch, so go ahead and take a listen

3. The Secret Machines are a bit different from the last two bands I posted, and take a more modern approach to their music. The end result is a dense but mellow alt rock sound that really pounds into you with every beat. From a three piece band, the magnitude of their sound is really impressive- these guys are BIG. Here's a song for you

4. The Brian Jonestown Massacre... now this band, this is easily one of my all time favorite bands. They have a real retro quality to them, like they walked straight out of the sixties. What sets them apart is the fact that they have the advantage of perspective, allowing them to take the 60's psychedelic rock formula, revive it, and then advance the whole genre even further. They are truly brilliant- I've seen them play now three times (and they performed as a guest appearance at yet another show) and each time they have blown me away, either with their antics, with their music, or both.

5. My Bloody Valentine is a band that took me a little while to get into, but the payoff has been pretty significant- I've listened to their album Loveless probably three times today, and every note is just as good as ever. MBV brings a new element to the psychedelic drone rock scene with a truly indescribable sound that is completely their own. Listening to My Bloody Valentine is equivalent to pressing your fingers over your ears over and over again, as each second it bombards you with a ferociously dense guitar work and their steady, rhythmic, pounding drums.

the bassline to "The Recluse" = :cool:

The Replacements = [i]Pleased to Meet Me[/i]

"Can't Hardly Wait" and "Alex Chilton" still rock my world. i think this might have the fewest garbage songs of any Mats album I've heard.
