Satellite

los campesinos! - we are beautiful, we are doomed

Inveigh
06.17.11 | Girls Can Tell rules so hard |
Satellite
06.17.11 | yeah it does.
what up inveigh. haven't seen you around here much lately. |
Inveigh
06.17.11 | yeah work's been busy, got in a car accident, got my wisdom teeth removed, was in a prescription painkiller haze, etc. still been cleanin' up in sputnik fantasy baseball tho
what's up with you dude? |
Satellite
06.17.11 | gawd my sputnik team is horrible. bummer about the accident/drug haze man.
work, shows, partying hard, etc. gonna be in chicago for a wedding next month. sorta stoked for that. |
Inveigh
06.17.11 | awesome. i'm gonna be in a wedding in a chicago suburb in september. but it's my wedding lol
which is another reason i've had less time to sput. chicago's the shit, wish I still lived there |
Fortheloveofmusic
06.17.11 | So start out with Girls Can Tell?
And if you guys haven't heard Sleeping at Last, I'd definitley recommend it to anybody |
Inveigh
06.17.11 | yeah I'd say that's the best place to start with Spoon, it's my favorite of theirs. Kill the Moonlight is probably their "classic" so to speak, so maybe just go in order from there if you like Girls |
Fortheloveofmusic
06.17.11 | Mmk thanks, I'll start on that tonight |
Inveigh
06.17.11 | just put Sleeping at Last on my d/l list
although it's a lengthy list... |
Fortheloveofmusic
06.17.11 | Haha that's what I don't like about these recs list, it gives me so much to listen too. I just decided now that it was summer, it was a good time to get some upbeat stuff
|
Inveigh
06.17.11 | if you've never checked out Minus the Bear (prolly an obvious rec, but whatever), you should get Highly Refined Pirates and Planet of Ice, too. since you don't have enough recs and all |
Fortheloveofmusic
06.17.11 | I've listened to a couple of their songs, but not too much. I'll look into them |
Masochist
06.17.11 | The Apples In Stereo - 'Fun Trick Noisemaker' |
Curse.
06.17.11 | 5 is anything but upbeat |
Eko
06.17.11 | I've heard 1, parts of 2 (but I have a different full album by them), and 5 and I see definitely see the style you are going for here. recs:
Kye Kye- Young Love
Mae- (e)vening
Deas Vail- Birds & Cages
Sherwood- QU (a little more pop rock but in the same vein)
but yeah I need to get 2. |
Masochist
06.17.11 | "5 is anything but upbeat"
Re-read the description. Album, though, is so damn good! |
Fortheloveofmusic
06.17.11 | Yeah Eko, I have all of their Sleeping at Last's LP's and they're all amazing. And I love Mae, Deas Vail, and Sherwood, but I'll check out Kye Kye |
Eko
06.17.11 | yeah I just have storyboards and I've always felt like its never grown on me like it could. kye kye's best songs are "rooftops" and "my sight" if that helps too.
also Future of Forestry but they aren't exactly like the bands in the original list. |
Curse.
06.17.11 | Mas i cant read plz hallp |
Masochist
06.17.11 | LOL--he was going to make a Indie dig list, but decided against it because all the albums were slow and melodic...so the list is all the albums that were going to end up on the list.
So pretty much, he actually made the list he decided against making ;-). All of the albums on the list are slow and melodic. |
Curse.
06.17.11 | my hero |
Masochist
06.17.11 | WATCH ME AS I GO |
Fortheloveofmusic
06.17.11 | Eko: The albums are definitley growers. I've had Keep No Score for about two years now and it just conncected a couple weeks ago. It's almost a five now, along with Storyboards
Hmm Masochist, now that you word it like that, I did make the list I decided not to make . . . Oops |
Eko
06.17.11 | oh wait theres a description yeah def check out Future of Forestry- Travel II.
his (SaL) voice is pretty unique, kind of hit and miss with me. the songs I've heard off keep no score are better than
most on storyboards tho. |
Fortheloveofmusic
06.17.11 | K thanks, Eko, I'll definitley listen to them. And his voice his one of the things that grew on me, and I can honestly say he's one of my favorite vocalists now. It's great music to listen to on a rainy day |
Blindsided
06.17.11 | Lukestar - Taiga |
