Yeah, I'm your adding machine-stereotype Asian, so I give you a big, big edge.

I want to just open a dojo, and see what happens. How long before people's self-interest gland kicks in and overrides their subtle racism? I say sometime around when I teach them The General Tso's Flying Rocket-Punch, and declare it an "ancient Chinese secret," accent and all.

I really like Dizzee, and I've come around so far as to say that Maths and English is my favorite Dizzee record, but on first listen, I really hated it, for some reason or another.

I downloaded like 4GBs of MF Doom a while back, and it's still dominating my iTunes time (I can't find MM..Food, though. If anyone has it and wants to AIM or RapidShare it to me, I'd stop sending you those Cialis emails all the time [unless you still want them]). I was supposed to go to NYC for Rock the Bells the other day, but my faggotieass friend gave my ticket to some loose-kooched harpy-twat, so I'm scrambling to get tickets to the lesser Atlanta show.

Also, though I'm not really a fan of her music (for starters, it's just not my thing, but I'm somewhat prejudiced against female vocalists. I'm only now somewhat getting over that), I'm completely in love with Corinne Bailey Rae. I was already in love with her, but that was only like send creepy letters to radio stations about her-level creepily in love with her. But then when I realized she had an English accent, I upped it to carve-creepy-letters-about-her-into-my-forearm-then-take-a-picture-and-then-send-it-to-a-radio-station-level creepy.

Okkervil River, anybody? Will Sheff is the man. Their new album comes out in two weeks.

So, we all agree that Belle and Sebastian is the best thing since sliced bread, right?

Mos' Def.

El-P

I like them.

hatebreed.

I love this band name. The band is terrible, but the name... choice.

Frontman: "Okay, so, you guys ready? We know what we're gonna call the new band!"

RecordExec: "Alright. Let's hear it."

Frontman: "Hatefuck."

RecordExec: "You do realize that this label is the subsidiary of a publicly traded company, and a Time Warner Partner, correct?"

Frontman: "Huh?"

RecordExec: "I'm saying no. Find something else or we'll make you tour in Germany."

Frontman: "How about Hatedoink?"

RecordExec: "....I'll give you some time to think."

lol agreed. great name. what's funnier to me is that they use the word "hate" in their lyrics very often. hell, their lyrics are pretty damn funny to me anyway.

"you're as diehard as they come." what is this, a song about john mcclain?

I dont really like that type of music


but hatebreed kicks ***
I would say one of the most talented musicians ever



now its my turn

hmmm.....

well start off with

BAD RELIGION

Professor Murder, I dig

these are awsome, I have alot of respect for these dudes, saw their show a couple times which was pretty good.

gonna throw some SUBLIME out there, such a shame he had to junk up his veins and die, what a loser.

really? no sw? they're pretty good. i heard them at ozzfest a few weeks ago so i picked up a cd of theirs. i like it alright, but it does kinda get old. they were definitely badass live though. hell of a pit.

I still love the song "Free Stress Test."


And I really like the album "Marry Me" by St. Vincent.


Wang

Garth Brooks

Common. I've heard bad things, but the new Common is actually pretty good, in my opinion. But I'm a really big Common fan, so take that however you want.

Anybody ever listen to "The Thermals?" I kinda skipped over them, and am wondering if they're any good. I'm downloading "The Body, The Blood, The Machine" right now.

Thoughts? Opinions?


Wang

I just got this album and I really dig it, but I have to say I was all about Fake Empire until the drums kick in. The beat just confuses me and I feel like Steve Martin in The Jerk trying to keep rhythm to it.

But, yes, this is a well-done version of it and the rest of the album is solid.

dont know if i posted this in here, but i recently got the panda bear album (solo project from one of the dudes from animal collective) and its pretty damn good.

i would describe it as beach boys on mushrooms?

anyways its called person pitch. anyone else diggin on it?

p.s. national is good. although ive heard more of their old album, alligator, and prefer the stuff ive heard on that one.

Hi, welcome to last March. I hear not only is it available on compact disk, but now it's available by magic, over the internet. Poser.

Sorry, I always wanted to be all sarcastic with someone over music I like. It's what liking indy music is all about.

Also, I like Alligator slightly less than Boxer, but it's very, very close.

It is definitely my favorite album of the year, and I can't think of any albums off the top of my head that I appreciate more from the last FIVE years. I made a list of my 10 favorite albums released post 1995, and I tried as hard as I could to leave Person Pitch off of it, but it still clocked in at #9, right behind Madvilliany.


Wang

Where do the Yin Yang Twins fall in? Their lyrics be the shit, Money.

Well, let's hear it?

I tried, and I accidentally got ten in before 2000. I'll have to work harder.

ms. fat booty...

Yeah, my list is a joke, because in all honesty, I'd have to sit down and come up with a pretty complicated system to weigh a handful of factors I can't keep in my head.

A rough draft probably looks something like:

1) OK Computer

2) Kid A

3) Emergency & I

4) Aeroplane over the Sea

5) Soft Bulletin

6) The Moon and Antarctica

7) Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

8) Madvilliany

9) The Bends

10) Person Pitch



That's a roughish list. I think the top 7 are no-doubters. I could be swayed on any of the last three. I wouldn't feel terrible about replacing any of those. It's amazing to me that I got all the way to number seven before I could find room for YHF, which is like... well, I guess only my SEVENTH favorite album released in the last few years... and it's still ahead of the bends.

I could replace any of the last 3 with "I See A Darkness" "Michigan: The Great Lakes State" "Apologies to the Queen Mary" "Turn on the Bright Lights" "A Grand Don't Come for Free" or a handful of others without losing much sleep. Ten is probably too few, because the top tier for me is seven, and the second tier is probably close to 15 or 20.


Wang

I saw it at Best Buy yesterday and was tempted to pick it up, but I haven't' heard anything off it yet and held off.

you guys would love

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

check out there covers first

double post

Went to a Robert Randolph show last night - he always puts on a great show. Very energetic performer.

I have been listening to a ton of Black Keys lately....anyone a fan?

Yeah, I really like them. Somebody in here turned me on to them. Now that I think about it, it was probably you.

I did talk about them some 100-120 pages ago in this thread, I believe, when I used to post in here more frequently.
Needless to say, great band for anyone who hasn't heard them before. Rubber Factory is a solid album. Haven't heard anything about if they are good live, so will wait to hear a report from people who were at Lollapalooza....

Today, I shall be listening to:

The Wrens- The Meadowlands

The Who- Quadrophenia

The Twilight Sad- Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters



Wang

Nice choice.

Got a little A Picture of Nectar by Phish and some Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits playing....

LOX - We Are the Streets (see Av)

Brand New- The Devil and God are raging inside me

You're absolutely right. Everyone should check out this movie regardless of taste in music.


The most recent I've heard from him is Be, and I thought it was good. The first track is probably my favorite.

Yeah, well, Be was the Common equivalent to Ghostface's Fishscales. Everyone loves it, and a lotta' people call it his best, and it's incredibility awesome...but there are at LEAST two records inarguably better.

lamb of god.

me bitch

Yeah, I think it was you. Yeah, now I remember. Credit where credit is due, and all.

Thanks... faggot.


Wang

Just found my Placebo CD i thought i'd lost,

Pure Morning FTW!

beck- mutations

It's a Pink Floyd Monday

Animals
Meddle

joy division

This... is a good idea. Consider me also listening to Mutations. I LIVED on this CD in highschool.


Wang

New Okkervil River CD comes out today or tomorrow (probably tomorrow, because it is Tuesday). I've never listened to them at all, but I've heard good things, so today or tomorrow I shall embark on an Okkervil River journey.

Wang

Highly recommended. My favorites are Black Sheep Boy and Down The River of Golden Dreams.

I was listening to the 90's grunge/alt station on Sirius (24) and heard Deadeye Dick "New Age Girl". I hadn't heard that song in forever. Very catchy and gets stuck in the head easily. I always liked it for some reason.

A very good list. I guess you're much more of a fan than Emergency and I than I am, but other than that it's pretty similar to what mine would be.

Though, I would probably have to find some space for Ágætis Byrjun, Odelay, If You're Feeling Sinister, Homogenic, and maybe HTTT.
