Yes. And it is blowing me away. I was reading some stories pertaining peoples first experiences with Dj Shadow, and somehow, they amplify the effect.

building steam with a grain of salt is such a great song. its got a scary vibe to it.

Upon further review...

You guys are right. For me, it's YHF, A Ghost is Born, Summer Teeth, Being There. I love the first disc of Being There, but the 2nd disc doesn't grab me as much. I don't much like AM either. I haven't listened to much of the Billy Bragg stuff.

I saw Tweedy live solo a few months back...it was absolutely amazing.

I don't count the Uncle Tupelo stuff on my list, but more or less, your list is correct. Might switch around Summerteeth with Being There, but YHF is still the best by far.

EDIT: Nevermind on the rest.

He wasn't telling you to shut up, he was agreeing with you

QFT = Quoted For Truth

Where did this acronym originate? I always assumed it meant "Quit F*cking Talking". Silly me. My bad, will have to go back and edit the last post. My apologies to the Wangster for my semi-rant that has now been deleted.

Anyway, going to listen to a little Rilo Kiley today .... any band that is proud enough to have an alumni of Salute Your Shorts on it is OK by me....

I am also digging the new Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris album. I am not much of a country fan, but I dig Emmylou. Knopfler is a fantastic guitar player as well....

Not sure where it originated, but I have seen a lot of people think it meant Quit Fucking Talking, so easy mistake to make.

Good choice with the Rilo Kiley. I love Jenny Lewis.

Such an intense vibe. Think about this, you get into your first dates car. Its raining, cloudly and the wipers are going at full speed. This song is blaring, and your quietly speeding through a residential neighbourhood.

haha dude did you write that review on amazon for it? im pretty sure i saw a review on amazon that said something like that.

but anyway yea that would be perfect.

Alright, I'm REALLY enjoying The Bends right now.

can't wait for their next album

right now listenin' to both of Audioslave's albums. 1st was good. 2nd very good

these days it's a lot of sunset rubdown (another one of those montreal bands--new album=A/A-, but better than most of the other new stuff i can find), and a return to neutral milk hotel.

anyone want to share soulseek names? (i'm zed013)

Does your lastfm seriously say Kevin Federline, or am I seeing things?

It does and I'm scared

Some great new music from your resident DJ...


1) The Raconteurs: Jack White's new band...it's pretty badass_. If you haven't seen the website either, check it out at http://www.theraconteurs.com/ you'll love it.

2) Wolf Mother: Just listen to their first single "Woman" and tell me they're not the next Led Zepplin

lmao. you are correct, sir. my drunk self, drunk sister, her drunk boyfriend, and my (sober?) girlfriend were doing a very in-depth lyrical analysis of his "hits" the other night.

highlight: the genius that is rhyming "titty" with "city" in verse 2 of popozao or however you spell that.

I am currently completely obsessed with this album, and have been for a month or so. Love it.

Man, I wish I'd seen "the rest." I didn't even get a chance to see your misplaced rant, and I'm furious about that. There's nothing better than having a pal rant at you, and being able to start your response with a completely non-ironic "Actually..."

I see I was well-served NEVER using message board acronyms. I just thought your Kubrick/Burgess reference was spot on. Hence my completely tributary "QFT." Still buds.

Dutch- Glad to see you're enjoying The Bends. Anything in particular you like? I love hearing people who like things I like talk about things we like. What songs do you like, and why?

Wang

PS- Today has been mostly "The Hold Steady." I don't know why

wolfmother

I'm busting out a little Eagle Eye Cherry tonight


no, seriously

QFT. I was a HUGE SG fan back in the day, but I just a started listening to AS. Good ****.

how old ar eyou?

I think I was in 8th grade when they split up. I was at my friend Nash Krekovich's house when Kurt Loder broke the news that they were done. I cried.

Badmotorfinger is still one of my top 25 albums.

I don't like Audioslave that much, but I've only heard like 7 songs, and I loved Rage, too.

Wang

Out of habit, I normally tune-out everything but the guitar (or piano, depending on the music), but Cornell is one of only a couple singers I enjoy.

I can still remember the first time I heard Cornell's vocals in Rusty Cage and in Hunger Strike. He remains to this day one of my favorite vocalists, probably in the top 5 with Thom Yorke, Will Oldham, and a few others.

He's my number one, AINEC

too old. Just ask C-Dubb.

idioteque is awesome but i think that Kid A is the best song on that album, and in my top 5 all time. makes me feel like im in a different world.

That whole album is way too out-there for me.

thats what i thought at first too. the only song i could really get into was How to Disappear Completely because it sounded the most like their previous stuff. but it grew on me big time.

I had written the whole band off a few days ago. The Bends is now playing every other hour here.

Eagle Eye Cherry's Save Tonight was the very first MP3 I ever downloaded.



Remember the Challenger blowing up?

No?


He does............

I think my list, in order goes:

1) Yorke (in a landslide)

2) Fitzgerald

3) Oldham

4) Scott Walker

5) Cornell

Honorable Mention goes to about 30 people I could put 4 or 5... Just depends who I'm listening to. I love Robert Plant, the guy from Danielson Famle (Danielson?), Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse), Nick Drake, and about a trillion others I haven't thought of.

It took me about a few months to make every Radiohead album jump. You might hate Kid A forever. But if you like The Bends, you'll probably have an OK Computer kick at some point.

Wang

Mostly all I listen to is heavily blues influenced rock, and some Jazz. RH is a big step.

Remember it? I was a teenager lol

lmao again. my girlfriend saw me typing this post and hijacked my last.fm to put some more winners out there for your enjoyment. i'm breaking up with her tomorrow.


also, i was at the first concert where kid a (song, not album tour) was played live.

same with like spinning plates. the two times i've ever seen radiohead. amazing shows. they use lights like whoa.

Listen to the songs "Pyramid Song" and "Life in a Glass House." We're totally getting WAAAAY out of order here, but I'm pretty fucking drunk, and they just came up on my iPod. I thought of that comment, accidentally lost a pretty big pot, and scurried over here to make this comment.

Gonzo posting rocks. Man, I miss that guy.

Wang

good call. if you like jazz youll like those. plus pyramid song is one of the best songs ever written.

Been listening to a lot of Jane's Addiction (except ritual de lo habitual the earlier albums were far superior IMHO) lately....been in a nostalgic frame of mind I guess....

I switched back to some DMB (surprise, surprise)

GOD I love this thread. It's pretty much an e-masturbation fest for IndieRocking-but-Selfrespecting Hipsters like me. I've been play-pokah!!ing all night and drinking while listening to:

The Hold Steady
Yo La Tengo
Radiohead
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
Tears for Fears
Broken Social Scene
Guided by Voices
Jens Lekman
Built to Spill

AND

The Ramones.

I don't know why (oh I don't know why), but I love "Judy is a Punk" so fucking much when I'm play-pokah!!ing and drinking.

Wang

Dr. Dre, 2001. I almost never listen to rap.

Outstanding choice.

Five Rap albums I've enjoyed:

The Chronic

The Chronic 2001

Illmatic

Marshall Mathers LP (sp?)

Xzibit's first album.

Wrong thread, though.

I stopped the music and am now watching the Simpsons "Homer thinks Bart is gay" ROFLMAO

YES. Check out Tribe Called Quest (Midnight Marauders would be a good place to start). Also, the Black Star collaboration between Mos Def and Kweli. Also, Mos Def's solo debut, Black on Both Sides, which is still probably my favorite hip hop album.

Yes, A Tribe Called Quest are the greatest hip-hop group of all-time. Midnight Marauders is a great album (my personal favorite of theirs), but The Low End Theory might be the place to start, as it's the album they are probably known best for. Black Star is also good.

I love Low End Theory. They rap about pagers and Arsenio Hall, and shit.

I'm listening to Low End Theory right now. It's really Jazzy. I love it.

I of course, the forum's resident "biggie shill", would recomend the album "ready to Die" by the Notorious BIG.


I myself am listening to Lady Sovereign, which I can't really recomend, but I'm in love with
