Wild Nothing

[bono_212]

I like it, but the harmonica is putting me off a bit.

[u2popmofo]

I didn't even think it was actually Wild Nothing at first.

[bono_212]

It doesn't sound like them at all until after like a minute into the song, then it sounds like what I'm used to.

[iron yuppie]

I like it. Wish I could say why, but I can't really think of a reason at the moment.

[LemonMelon]

I dunno, the harmonica reminded me of Hand In Glove for whatever reason. Maybe that's why you like it.

hmm. i was looking for the post i made in this thread where i said i liked them, but apparently that was another band that i liked 212er was recommending and only mofo (or mostly only mofo) commented. the question is, what band was that?

[bono_212]

There are literally so many threads like that, but I will make it my mission to find out for you.

[IWasBored]

i know, i feel compelled to post in all of them to make it not be that way cos it was always disappointing in the ones i used to make (and 75% of those were just mofo coming to tell me a. i'm a hippie b. i'm a liar c. no one cares or usually, d. all of the above). and most of the time i check out the bands, too. like that one i can't remember the name of. actually, i think i bought the album (and clearly haven't listened to it since. for shame). i should just consult the purchased folder on itunes. damn, and that would mean it's on my ipod, and i actually could have listened to it last night when i wanted to hear it. there was one perfectly awesome dark and reflective-sounding tune that would have fit in with my nighttime playlist while i was sitting around at work last night, bored out of my mind. or i could just go back to listening to the magnetic fields.

You showed some interest in War On Drugs, and actually, that's the only other thread that I can find that's semi-recent.

Yeah, I definitely know what you mean, lol. Going back through all of the threads I've started for bands, there are so many with one or two posts, or none...

Of course THAT is always an awesome option.

[IWasBored]

yep. and i did actually buy slave ambient, and listened to it once.

i didn't say i was good at actually following up with that whole feeling compelled to post in those threads thing

[u2popmofo]

I was going to dig up an old Cursive thread for the news / song no one cared about over the weekend, and realized the only thread I could find only had 3 posts. Two were from me, the other was a sarcastic comment from Headache about the album title. Having been here for so long, it's weird how often I think I remember having a lot of discussions about a band here, and realize there were none when I do a search. Then again, search could just be broken, as there are a lot of threads I definitely know existed that are nowhere to be found now.

So was that not the one you were thinking of then?

You've mentioned Cursive a few times recently, but I keep forgetting to find out what they sound like.

Are you the one who enjoys the musical stylings of the band Why?(?)

Yeah, I'm the one who kept pushing Why? like it was my job a few years back.

If you check out Cursive, I recommend the albums Ugly Organ and Domestica more than the last few (even though the recent ones had some great tracks too). Cursive were one of the bands on the Curiosa lineup, Robby Smithy is / was a fan.

I Shazaam'd the song that Los Camp! Came out to before the show and it was by Why? and I was very confused because I thought they were much heavier than that song (which was "Early Whitney") would suggest.

Also, I had just taken the Cursive talk to Random , but I definitely want these recommendations. I liked what I heard ("The Recluse") just now.
