radiohead is putting out a new album sometime this year right?

It was never a radiohead vs. DMB debate. it was two seperate debates - one about radiohead and one about DMB.

As for your thoughts on DMB, you're entitled to your opinion. But calling Dave a mediocre song writer is just plain wrong.

Sweet

This is basically like IntoNation of last year, for those of you know what that was. I went last year, as did mk and we both are in agreement that it was the balls. Can't wait for this one.



Yes, I think like May-ish.

Plus a summer tour.

Ahh....my bad for mixing the two. I have always been a DMB hater, much to the chagrin of all teenage girls I know who force me to listen to it. For people who don't have much exposure to the jam band scene, DMB can be a good introduction to it, so I'll give him some credit for that. Hey I have heard all the Dave albums, I saw him live many years ago, so I know his material, and I don't think his songwriting ability is anything special. I think it is mediocre at best.

I'm curious to know what other bands you listen to that have any type of similar sound to DMB. What genre would you classify DMB in....

Woah.

Way to hold down the fort, BigKG. You was all like Kevin Garnett over the last few pages. MVP, baby.

Dave Matthews is an incredibly talented guy with a nice band. I think he blows chunks, and writes pansy as standard love songs. I don't like him. He's a good musician. I still don't like him.

Radiohead is probably the most innovative musical act of the past 20 years. I don't think people realize what an incredible accomplishment the OK COmputer/Kid A tandem was. That was a complete musical metamophasis, and Kid A was almost completely inaccessible to the average music listener. They OVERHAULED they're sound, after releasing what many critics considered one of the greatest rock albums of ALL TIME.

And it was a ****ing monster hit, critically and popularly.

I still like OK Computer better, but Kid A is definitely a close second.

And anyone who thinks serious musical historians and fans will look back and

a) suggest Dave MB was a better band than raiohead
suggest that Radiohead is not going to go down as a legendary rock act


Is nuts.

Radiohead is probably going to be recognized as the best band of their time, and one of the handful of greatest musical acts in modern history. They're the ****ing Beatles.

I don't think anyone was specifically saying that DMB is better than Radiohead. They each have their own audience, for sure. I happen to be a member of both. Personally, I'm more of a Radiohead fan than a DMB fan, and I agree that they will definitely go down as one of the greatest bands ever.

a co-worker just put on wish you were here, i think this is my favorite pink floyd album.


as for radiohead being the most inovative act of the last 20 years, i might have to give the nod to frank zappa.

When did this ever become a DMB vs. Radiohead debate? it didn't start like that.

I don't think it ever became one...

It didn't while we were talking, but a few other posts created it. You can't compare the two. It's like apples and oranges.

Right now...

Brian Eno- Another Green World

diary of a madman...

Or bananas and dildos.

Theoretically, they can be used for the same purpose, but they're really miles apart.

Currently listening to Eminem- The Eminem Show

STP - Seven Caged Tigers

and next, my all time most frequently listened to song acording to itunes, And So I Know - STP

Got the iPod on shuffle.

Last song was "Forty-Six & 2" by Tool
Current song is "The Light" by Common

I currently have my entire song collection on random shuffle - a bit of everything

Guns N' Roses- Use your Illusion II

Dave Matthews - Some Devil

Guns N' Roses- Use you Illusion I

Nine - Whatcha Want?

Talk Talk- Laughing Stock

I was thinking that Radiohead are the Talking Heads. I think Radiohead is the most innovative/creative band to have commercial appeal since the Talking Heads in their prime. Radiohead acknowledges Talking Heads as a major influence on them...Radiohead's original name was On a Friday, which I believe is a reference to a Talking Heads song....

Wang, you in Kalamazoo yet?

Blink 182- Dude Ranch

Some random Yo La Tengo, been a while since I listened to them.

right now : Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

So today I was looking through a pile of shit in my room and found a $40 gift crd to Best Buy. So I'm thinking what I could possibly buy with just that, because I hate spending my own money. Nothing big, no video games, I don't buy CD's, but I went to just look around. I was looking through the music section and I noticed The deluxe editions for Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. Combined it was under $40 so I bought them. About 50 or so songs on each and a little book in each one. Very cool and definately worth a pickup for any Pavement fans, or just fans of good music.

right now, Glass Casket - Pencil Lead Syringe

next up, some zeppelin, btbam, dillinger escape plan, and symphony in peril.

The soundtracks from the Matrix Trilogy

Morrissey- You are the Quarry


Hey, KG, would there be any reason to buy the delux pavement albums for someone who already owns (I almost wrote pwns) both? Is the sound quality any better or is it just for the extra materials?

Today's pick..

Third Eye Blind- Self Titled

Melancholy and reminscing.

Heh. I might be the biggest music snob on this forum, and I fully admit to liking that album. Crazy to think that it's almost 10 years old.

Heh.

I really can't find anything I don't like about it--except maybe the singles, but even the singles are pretty good songs, in all honesty. It is a CD I tend to hide behind my Houses of the Holy if I know someone'll be going through my CDs, but, it's also a CD I've bought about 6 times because I keep waring it down to nothing.

bigkg miight give you a run for your money when it comes to music snobbery

It's mainly just the extra stuff. The sound quality might be better, I have only listened to the extra unreleased and live stuff. The books are pretty interesting reads too.



Trust me, I got nothing on mk.

iPod on hip hop shuffle.

Last song: GZA - Labels (from Liquid Swords)
Current song: Atmosphere - Godlovesugly (from Godlovesugly)

I love the piano loop on this track. Haunting, almost.

ahem

This guy:

my bloody valentine - loveless. this record is everything you guys hyped it up to be.

I have no idea if they've been mentioned in this thread or not (refuse to go through all 55 pages), but I just discovered a band called Allister that's pretty amazing. I'm seriously pissed that my local radio station hasn't clued me in to them yet, no idea if they're getting play in other areas.

Anyway, the song that hooked me is called Scratch. Check it out, I have Pandora.com to thank for clueing me in. I've heard more new music that I never knew existed in the last 4 days than I have in the last 4 years of listening to the radio.

Yep...after a couple listens, you are hooked.

jaco pastorius - self titled cd

anyone who thinks they can play bass, listen to this and become humbled

Been there, done that. The guy's amazing. I thought I was pretty good, until I heard that man play. You should check out Stu Hamm, he's absolutely incredible as well.

"Lonely Day" by Phantom Planet is today's song of the day.

Panic! At The Disco -- I Write Sins Not Tragedies

Oh, well imagine; as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding, what a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
"Yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."

I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of...

Well in fact I'll look at it this way,
I mean technically our marriage is saved!
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne!
Oh! Well in fact I'll look at it this way,
I mean technically our marriage is saved!
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne,
pour the champagne!

I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

Again.

Excellent song from an EXCELLENT album.

They're coming to town, but alas, it's sold out.

I'm sorry guys, but Panic! At The Disco is just aweful. The whole emo genre is just terrible, and these guys are near the bottom.

id have to agree

Agreed. Emo is probably my current least favorite genre of music out there. I can't remember ever hearing an emo band that I was into.

**** YOU GUYS!

I'm going to put some some black eyeliner and write in my journal about you.



I'm not a big emo guy, really, but I do enjoy Panic! At The Disco. To me, they seem more punk-poppy than emo. I usually equate emo with lame acoustic guitar whining (i.e. Dashboard Confessional) or it's louder counterpart (My Chemical Romance). Panic! doesn't really have the whole "woe is me, my life is so bad" thing going on lyrically that those bands do, which to me, is what emo is.
