Pixies, can you reccomend me a load of Post-Hardcore-ish bands that I might like? I'm really bad with genre definitions, but I mean bands like At the Drive-In, Sparta, old cursive, Bear Vs. Shark and Fall of Troy etc. Except I only like harsh vocals in rare circumstances. Thanks.

Yeah very clever, but i'd rather not make a fool of myself in there with my lack of knowledge. Thanks all the same.

What were you posting on before? A potato?

The Datsuns are playing in my town next week for £10, any good live? I'll probably go anyway, just wondering if i'll actually enjoy it or not.

The Datsuns were completely awesome when I saw them a couple of years ago. Do it Kyle.

See the Datsuns, they're awesome.

Hm.

Well... I'll double up Post-Hardcore with some Emo bands because there's some confusion in genre since alot of them were infulenced blah blah blah.

anyways.

Hot Cross
Glassjaw
Hopesfall
Drive Like Jehu
Trophy Scars (get hospital music, not alphabet alphabets)
The Blood Brothers
Q And Not U (No Kill, No Beep Beep)
The Murder of Rosa Luxemburg
Love Like...Electrocution
Life Detecting Coffins

Ok, thanks for the suggestions. I'll get to downloading some of these!

I guess i'll go see the Datsuns aswell.

Between a choice of seeing Lyrics Born live (backed by a full band) and seeing We Jam Econo, that Minutemen documentary, what would you do? Pretend that you've seen Lyrics Born before and enjoyed it. And pretend that We Jam Econo was a one day deal. Also, pretend free vs. $5. And also pretend purple monkey dishwasher.

We Jam Econo.

why not go see Lyrics Born and then just rent/buy We Jam Econo? is it playing in a theater or something? if it's showing on a big screen i'd go to that. it'd be fun watching with a full house of other Minutemen fans.

I've never really seen it in stores/rental places, but I rarely buy movies anyways. I don't know how big the screen will be. It's screening in a basement. I think I'll go see it and make it a music doc back-2-back weekend and go check out the Leonard Cohen thing that's playing at another place. Lyrics Born will probably be back in a few months anyways.

Decemberists are playing in Toronto!




..on a Monday :(

Is Chan Marshall any good live?

Yeah go see the doc. You'd meet cool people and see a cool movie.

Is Chan Marshall any good live?[/QUOTE]

I've read that she's gotten a lot better since sobering up.

If so then I might go to her show in October or November.

Is she playing in Toronto?

[url]http://www.ticketinbox.com/toronto-concert-tickets.html[/url]

Hm.. I swear I saw it there last week. She might've cancelled it or something. Well there's Kayo Dot at the end of September, and Yo La Tengo and The Hold Steady in October..

That's why I'd love to go to uni. in Toronto, so many good shows.

Cat Power live isn't anything like the crazy stories you've heard from the old days. She seems a bit awkward but fairly comfortable with the band backing her. Some minor quirks, but nothing that holds the show back. Her performance with the band is really solid, but a lot of the tracks on [i]The Greatest[/i] are just "nice" to me. That said, the time she spends solo on the piano or guitar makes the whole show worth it.

Chan Marshall is gorgeous.

I'm listening to [I]Bossonova[/I] for the first time ever.

in the white room

Her voice makes me orgasm.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]edit: just watched the video again

I would hit it 100 times[/QUOTE]
With a SLEDGEHAMMER!!!!!!!

Chan Marshall is gorgeous all the time.

When I saw her live she did run off in the middle of a song and the band had to finish it up instumental, but eventually she did come back.

That concert was open to anyone Happymeal. I went but I got there late because of ridiculous traffic so I missed the Weakerthans. They were the ones I actually wanted to see too.

Oh sh[B]i[/B]t bummer. When I was going to see Animal Collective the ticket people wouldnt sell me a ticket and when I got to the show it was all sold out. Buhh.

:lol:

There's seriously something wrong with the world when music stores charge $40 for a capo.
