Is anybody here very well-versed in '50s (and possibly early '60s) jazz?
Please say word, if so.
I might be able to help you here. I'd consider myself well-versed in jazz. You can be the judge of the "very."

I don't know about that...Oasis seems to be the most reviled band among Pitchfork writers. Every mention of Oasis, whether it be Definitely Maybe or Don't Believe the Truth, is loaded with vitriol. The review of Heathen Chemisty is still the most biased, inane piece of writing that I've seen on the site - absolutely devoid of any shred of what might be considered journalistic merit.
But maybe I'll be wrong. I actually hope that I'll be wrong in this regard.
It's easy for one to say "who cares", but it bugs me that bands like Guns 'n' Roses (among many others) are getting major props while they're relegated to "See also:" status.
If Wonderwall or Champagne Supernova get on this list and Won doesn't I am filling up two tanks of gasoline: one in my car and the other that I'm going to use to burn those motherfuckers to the ground.

can anyone give me some Built to Spill recommendations? they're playing at this new year's eve festival i'm going to this year.
PM'd.
I'm just now looking at the P4K best of 90s thing. I was thinking to myself, if somehow they don't put any PJ songs on the list, I'm going to punch a stranger in the street. Then, two things happened: I realized that it's pointless to even give two shits about this list. And then, as I was scrolling, Yellow Ledbetter showed up. So I put my brass knuckles away.
You're not an Oasis fan, I take it. How much of that is owing to MadForIt?
I still enjoy their first two albums to an extent. My point is that if they're going to acknowledge anthemic stadium songs, they shouldn't play such favorites.
Don't wanna hijack the thread, that's all. You're more than welcome to participate, should you know your jazz...
It's a random music thread...I'd have thought a discussion about jazz would have been a welcome thing, not a hijacking.
Friggin lucky Cobbler.
Keep It Like A Secret is one of my favorite albums of all time, so I would personally recommend that as a starting point. It also happens to be their most accessible, so there's that going for it. Perfect From Now On is its ragged and sprawling older brother; that one, together with KILAS, will give you a great picture of what the band is all about.
gotta check out some Arrested Development as well, they're playing.
I don't know shit about it, thus the hope for a public discussion.
You mean, like... the Mr Wendal Arrested Development? They're still around???

I know some tracks went up to $1.29 a while back, while some remained at $.99 - something about removing the protection? Or upping the quality? I don't remember, since I use it so rarely.
I think album prices remained the same. Could be wrong.
let's get the Jazz discussion going. the only proper jazz album i have is Kind of Blue. i actually found it quite good and surprisingly moving in some parts (Blue in Green is incredibly desolate) but it's not something i could listen to over and over.
Same here....was hoping to learn something from IY and IYS.
