Dark Was The Night charity compilation - Feb. 17th (Cool Music Appreciation)

[u2popmofo]

You don't like Spoon???

I picked it up as well.

 

[Elvis Presley]

It's such a great comp overall, but the vinyl packaging is dissapointing. Even so, worth my dime for a good cause...

 

[u2popmofo]

worth my dime for a good cause...

Agreed!

I've liked the handful of tracks I've already listened to, but I LOVE the Beirut track.

 

[Dalton]

I illegally downloaded this bitch.

 

[u2popmofo]

Seriously, for anyone that does download this, you're stealing from a charity for AIDS victims.

They did it to themselves. Gays and druggies.




Seriously though, how is Amazon selling this for $10 when I just bought it for $17 on iTunes?

 

[No spoken words]

I just bought it.

 

[impy13]

It wouldn't be the first time Dalton stole from an AIDS patient. But I guess "stealing" the virus doesn't really count.

 

[Dalton]

I just bought it.

iTunes or hard copy?

 

[No spoken words]

iTunes or hard copy?

ITunes, $15.99

Yeah, I stole once, but look how many times I've given since.

 

[Dalton]

BTW - Cello Song is sublime.

 

[impy13]

Yeah, I stole once, but look how many times I've given since.

You really know how to pay it forward, my man.

I haven't listened to this yet because, well, I haven't bought it yet.

 

[Dalton]

So it boils down to this Bon Iver is a poor man's Iron & Wine.

 

[impy13]

Shut your mouth.

 

[Dalton]

With apologies to everyone else, the National is the best band of the last 5 years.

 

[impy13]

I gots to hear this Grizzly Feist shit.

 

[impy13]

With apologies to everyone else, the National is the best band of the last 5 years.

Decade.

 

[Dalton]

Decade.

I'm close to saying that, but Radiohead produced Kid A, Amnesiac and In Rainbows this decade. That's a pretty damn good haul.

 

[No spoken words]

That's be an interesting poll or whatnot...whose music have you liked the most over the past 10 years. Radiohead would be up there for me. The National, too, but, I just got into them a year ago so not sure I could count them, if that makes sense.

For me personally, Doves and Elbow would be very high on the list.

 

[Dalton]

I've never listened to Doves. I couldn't even name you one song or album. Actually I couldn't even place them in the appropriate genre.

NSW, I believe I have you to thank for introducing me to Elbow. Amazing band. Who is our resident Okkervil River fan? Love them too.

 

[impy13]

Who is our resident Okkervil River fan? Love them too.

Scumbo and I.

I really wouldn't be able to decide between Radiohead, Okkervil, the National, or Wilco for best output of this decade.

 

[No spoken words]

Scumbo and I.

I really wouldn't be able to decide between Radiohead, Okkervil, the National, or Wilco for best output of this decade.

I really like all four of those. Impy/Scumbo turned me onto Okkervil as well, Dalton.

Dalton, you might like Doves.

 

[Dalton]

Scumbo and I.

I really wouldn't be able to decide between Radiohead, Okkervil, the National, or Wilco for best output of this decade.

Yes.

Which Doves disk should I start with?

 

[u2popmofo]

You guys have messenger? Go talk on it.

 

[Dalton]

You guys have messenger? Go talk on it.

If I had nuclear weapons I would test them in your state.

 

[No spoken words]

You guys have messenger? Go talk on it.

Here's a message:

Fuck off

 

[No spoken words]

Yes.

Which Doves disk should I start with?

They have just the three, with a new one coming late next month. Start at the beginning: Lost Souls
