Artist: Los Lonely Boys
Album: Live at the Fillmore
Title: Cisco Kid

Decemberists: Picaresque. I'm pretty sure I've posted this album about a hundred times in this thread. It just makes me so happy when I listen to it. Or it could just be the Jalepenos that I'm eating which are making me emotional.

Just bought some new CD's-

Snow Patrol-Eyes Open
All American Rejects-Move Along
30 Seconds to Mars-A Beautiful Lie

Two Snow Patrol songs (Chasing Cars & Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking) have appeared on Grey's Anatomy.

oh ****, rage against the machine is gonna reunite and play coachella this year. thats awesome.

Don't forget about BJORK, BABY!!!!!

Anyone going to get the new Deerhoof?

While I'm sure it makes me terribly uncool, I'm curious if anyone's listened to Sam's Town in it's entirety yet and might be able to compare it to Hot Fuss?

i wrote a review of sam's town in my blog, here: http://combinatorial.livejournal.com/8047.html

also, when i was 15 i liked that nerf herder record.

Awesome..thank you, sir.

I think I was 13 or so, when I first accidentally saw them at an Alt. Radio Station's Outdoor Festival. I opened up this old chest in my mom's garage last night and found the aforementioned Nerf Herder record..I fell in love again..it's just so bad.

it's hard not to love the song 'van halen'.

Oh, I know it..

"Sammy Hagar, is this what you wanted? Sammy Hagar..is this what you wanted, man? Dave lost his hairline..but, you lost your cool, buddy.."


Dug the review.

If Sam's Town has one track that even approaches "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine" then it'll be in business as far as I'm concerned. From the Blender article I read, it seems that they're pretty convinced(and rightly so?) comparing themselves to The Boss has put them in a peculiar position with critics, so I wanted a review from someone I trusted.

Thanks, Mike.

yeah, i really like 'bling', 'when you were young', and 'read my mind', the rest of it is pretty meh.

Billy Joel - "12 Gardens Live"


I don't care. It's a damned good cd. Just because he's from my area doesn't mean I can't like his music. And his sexy goatee.

I don't know anyone who thinks Piano Man is a bad song. Billy Joel is the nuts. While I'm admitting to liking potentially embarassing artists, I'm also a fan of Neil Diamond.

That being said, my most recent listen was Kanye's "College Dropout." Had been awhile. Still an oustanding record. Also been listening to a mix of John Legend and Anthony Hamilton, and been listening to a lot of Theivery Corporation.

I'm supposed to go see Dave Bazan, Damien Jurado, and Rocky Votolato on Friday, but I don't know if I'll get off work early enough.

Yes he is. I've been wanting to learn how to play piano, and listening to the begining of "Angry Young Man" makes me really want to learn. The guy is a nasty piano player, and just seems like a cool guy. Also, I admit to being one of those losers who like a song more because the artist mentions places that I'm familiar with. Since Billy Joel is from LI, and makes references to NY in every song, it's pretty much a lock I'd like him.


Great CD, haven't listened to it in a while, but every time I do it's an enjoyable experience.

John Legend is amazing. I own his first CD, still have yet to get the newer one.


No clue who the rest of the people are.

fyp?

Mike, how do you feel about Lilly Allen?

i like.

I dug the single, the rest the album worthwhile?

in truth, i've not heard the rest of it either. i thought you were asking if i'd hit it or not.

Heh..well, you're a red blooded American man, I knew you'd hit it..

Hopefully one time you'd scream, "One time for the 13 original colonies!"

She's saxy.

she's playing a show in chicago at the greatest venue in the world on thurs feb 8. i just checked and tickets are still available. might be worth checking out. i'm going to see the shins the following saturday... good weekend for live music.

That might just be worth it.

I just always question how well music like that would translate to live..that light, fluffy, pop sound.. Of course, that might come from accidentally having seen Marcy Playground live.

Of Montreal- Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?

I've heard great things about this album. Worth getting?

I just got yesterday the new Deerhoof and the new Menomena, and they're both pretty good. Anyone else into that type of music?

listening to alot of crowded house right now as well as split endz...plus the pretenders

deerhoof is playing here saturday night. i was thinking about checking them out. i'm not familiar with a lot of their catalog...

Definately worth checking out.

I'll have to check out that new Deerhoof, I'm definately a fan of their other work.

They put on a pretty awesome show from what I hear.

I enjoy Lily Allen but that makes me a great big giant ******. She looks all British, but I'd knock a tooth out.

I think I'm offended by this.

I don't know beards from ballhair when it comes to piano playing, I just go by how hard it sounds. Intro to "Angry Young Man" seems like it'd be either really hard or really easy, but some of the runs he does on the live CD are pretty sick.

He is a great songwriter, and does seem like he has several addictions, which is always a plus.

Pitchfork finally got around to writing a proper review of Villalobos's Fizheuer Zieheuer despite it having been out for months. One 37 minute song, and it was probably my favorite record of 2006. Highly recommended - what I would describe as 'real' idm.

Anybody heard the new Modest Mouse single, Dashboard?

listening to alot of police right now as well steely dan

Tragically Hip concert tomorrow night.

after seeing them mentioned in this thread a few times i have started listening to The Knife, and i think Heartbeats is the catchiest song ive ever heard.

Yessir. Try to listen to Jose Gonzalez's acoustic cover. You can find it on You Tube or his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/josegonzalez

my vote for catchiest song ever: be your own pet "wildcat"

I've been on a Deftones kick lately. I picked up their "B-Sides & Rarities" and there's an awesome acoustic version of "Change (In The House Of Flies)."

It's catchy. Like VD. I like it.

I'm listening to a live in-studio Grizzly Bear performance on kexp.org.

They're real good.

lately been listening to a lot of:

Of Montreal
Thursday
I'm From Barcelona
Cursive

Currently listening to:

Liquid Tension Experiment - Freedom of Speech (9:19)

Mika -- Grace Kelly

rumors of a police reunion for a big summer tour. this would make life worth living.

edit: guess i'll have to watch 5 minutes of the grammys this year. [shudder]

Belle and Sebastian-The Boy With The Arab Strap
