    My new call for album of the year... Caribou

    Caribou - Andorra Let's hope this has staying power, because I just downloaded it, and have listened to it about 9 times in a row since.. and it is absolutely beautiful and utterly brilliant. Less accessible than my previous album of the year perhaps (The National - Boxer), simply because it's...

    Best version of 11 o'clock tick tock?

    What do you reckon is the best? I mean the ultimate representation of the song. Is it the UABRS version? We're talking performance and sound quality here. Like if you had to pick one version of the song to be played publicly type of thing.. I can't be arsed to decide for myself. so i needs...

    My early call for album of the year..

    I humbly submit The National - Boxer. To be released May 22 on Beggar's Banquet. This is a moody and heavily atmospheric, fairly dark album. Matt Berningsomething's deep baritone voice and weathered lyrics backed with beautiful and subtly layered arrangements with horns and violins, and some of...

    kings among runaways

    this was directly inspired by the song 'on the bus mall' by the decemberists. it will maybe make more sense if you read the lyrics The sky: its majestic blue and spires of clouds - wiped out by the pissing rain. Pouring over us and everything, leaving barely a space to form words or compute...

    one grin and wink like the neon on a liquor store... good song

    but i can't figure out the lyrics to the damn chorus. or maybe they just don't make sense. This thread is for listening to the song, figuring out the lyrics, and discussing how great a combination Iron and Wine and Calexico are. http://s38.you sendit.com/d.aspx?id=1X1VC94SB4DF00MLZF792L878...

    Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden

    This album deserves its own thread. If you don't believe me, odds are you have not heard it. Most beautiful album. Ever. Thanks to bread n' whine for inspiring this thread.. who made a good call on comparing it to Joshua Tree. Talk Talk was known for their rather good 80s synth pop. Then...

    when's the ole forum turnin' 5?

    it's around now or already happened or soon isn't it? I probably missed it and am embarassing myself, but.. my golly gosh gee it's been a while!

    Augie March: some good mature stuff in the vein of elbow/coldplay/etc

    I wanted to just make the subject 'Augie March!!!!!!' but I didn't. Because, if I had it would have joined my Andrew Bird thread in the annals of threads that make me look silly and lonely. I swear these guys must have been talked about here before, but i didn't find them in the band index...

    Clap your Hands and Say Yeah: the new arcade fire

    A lot of people seem to really like these guys. I can't bring myself to listen to much of them because the guy's voice is utterly terrible... the warbliest voiced that heaven ever shat out. But lots of people seem to like them, so you might as well. I was going to give them another chance...

    Wolf Parade. The new arcade fire? well, maybe they're just awesome.

    Some new kinda theatrical whacky but holy motherf***ing damn amazing indie rock out of Montreal. You saw it here first. Or if you didn't, you're lucky. Their debut album just hit the net today (out in sept) and it captured me on first listen unlike any album since.. well... Funeral by the...

    what is this band?

    I think it was here that I read about them, but can't remember for sure. An australian (i think) band that plays kinda technoy stuff that's pretty hard with some rock undertones (or maybe overtones) and I think they were featured on some TV show or other.. they may have 2 or 3 albums, and are...

    audioscrobbler?

    who uses this pretty cool, occasionally updated tool? I'm at http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/cutcopypaste/ Though it says I regestered way back last year, I only used it for about a week, and started again in January of this year.

    If I see that rocking out smilie one more time...

    yeah.. this one: :rockon: For about a week I thought it was a really cool smilie, but now whenever I see it I get this huge urge to dropkick or punt that little yellow head very far away. The goal isn't to hurt the bastard, it's just it looks like it's begging to be kicked (though perhaps...

    webpage that tracks how often each song is played...

    someone did up one of these during elevation.. I dunno if anyone still has that link, but if someone did something similar for the new tour, that would be wicked. it listed all the songs played on the whole tour and then had checks each night it was played, then stats at the bottom. tres nifty.
