Lol, I always worried about that too because they were one of the logos I drew habitually. :D

Deadmau5 - It Sounds Like

Ordered these on CD yesterday and today, respectively:

Brothomstates - Claro

http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/image....L._AA280_.jpg

Mr. 76ix - 3 (Minority of 1)

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg

Sooooooooo good! http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/h..._Michaelaa.gif

I've always gotten the impression that they try to do too much with their songwriting. Not in the sense that there's so much going on at one time, just that they lengthen it with non-sequitur and abbreviated attempts at misdirection.

Maybe just not the stuff for me.

No I definitely agree about the songwriting, however I usually find myself listening more to the instrumentation on a first listen of an album than the lyrics. I think this stems from the fact that I'm a musician myself and my egotistical side is going "Yeah... I could play this, we're equals". It definitely isn't the album for everyone, but one of these days I'm going to do shrooms and listen to it because it was the perfect sound for me to create an awesome tripping soundtrack. Also here's a question, did you turn off my Alt. Country beginner's guide because you didn't like it or 30 songs was a little too much time to dedicate for one listen?


Oh also:

The Walkmen - Bows + Arrows

The sound gets a little grating after awhile but I've found myself enjoying this album, but I think I really need to sit down with headphones to get the full appreciation.

Nah, I took it in shifts, but I got to the whole thing eventually. And I quite liked a few of those artists, I could see revisiting one or two of them.

Crooked Fingers - Red Devil Dawn

http://www.questionablecontent.net/r.../IM-753855.jpg

Archers of Loaf - Icky Mettle

Tomorrow I will play these albums back to back and see which band wins my affection. Should there be a tie I will breed the albums and raise the retarded offspring as my own. Wow I really need to stop taking NyQuil before I go to sleep...

If I am a big fan of Daft Punk and Eric Prydz, would I enjoy this? A friend recommended it to me, but I never got to ask him if someone with my tastes in this type of music would like it.

The Pillows-FLCL OST Vol 1
http://s.ecrater.com/stores/126467/4...a9_126467n.jpg

The Seatbelts-Cowboy Bebop OST Vol 1
http://www.sundevildvd.com/images/cd/FXCD-006.jpg

I honestly don't listen to a lot of the genre and am not familiar with Eric Prydz but having heard a limited amount of Daft Punk, you'd probably enjoy it.

Hopefully Kayleigh will chime in.

Mind hooking me up? I have one song from that and I've always enjoyed it.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2iqmkur.jpg

been waiting 3 months for this to come out, can't wait for it to arrive.

Frightened Rabbit - The Winter of Mixed Drinks

I'm on my first listen but I'm definitely enjoying this so far.

Shearwater - The Golden Archipelago

I listened to it last night before bed and really enjoyed but I still have to hear it while I'm awake.

That's a great album cover. Very beautiful.

Giant Drag "Swan Song"

I've been waiting about a year for this EP, 'bout ****ing time Annie Hard-on.

The Nightfly-Donald ***en

I love that album. The opening track's an absolute belter.

OK Archers of Loaf was an awesome indie rock album but the Crooked Fingers one was such a shift in... everything that I couldn't finish it. How could a band that rocked so hard go to something so... soft and boring?

If you like Shearwater then you should definitely check out one of their newer albums called Rook. I may even be able to dig up a link for you.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uypEFQ3_Vu...0/Untitled.jpg

The description sounded intriguing: "Old-timey vaudevillian blues in the vein of the Holy Modal Rounders."

Rook is a great album and I appreciate the thought.

Just so you know The Golden Archipelago is their newest album. I'm not sure what the actual release date is but if you want to check it out let me know.

Robot Goes Here - The Byte Is In My Blood

Zeus - Say Us

My brother rarely listens to music, but loves his anime. A couple days ago he was telling me though that he had downloaded four albums from these guys, and how amazing they were and I HAD to check them out, etc. I remembered them from the FLCL closing theme, but wasn't all that interested in hearing more of their stuff. I think seeing them on here too must be a sign...gonna DL some Pillows. :D

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eG7R_tLKQp.../adamgreen.jpg

Adam Green - Minor Love

I figured I'd give his new album a try.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j7P5Xag24o...+Hate-2002.jpg

The Delgados - Hate

Scotland has been impressing me with it's music lately which leaves me conflicted... on the one side I think it'd look awesome if we bulldozed and turned it into a parking lot, but then I think of all the Scots who may not approve... although it'd be hard to really tell with their accents.

Black Dog Productions - Bytes (1993)

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg

Early projects associated with Plaid. The Black Dog is the group that the 2 members of Plaid were originally part of with one other guy, and Black Dog Productions was kind of a group of micro-bands...which is why this is essentially a various artists release. So there are tracks credited to Plaid, The Black Dog, and a handful of other project names involving various combinations of the 3 members. Something like that.

Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me (2006)

Surprisingly stellar when its doing other things besides being yet another post-hardcore screamo tinged album, and not too bad even when the playing, vocals and general delivery falls into the trappings of said genre. In the context of myself, this is the equivalent of a musical baptism.


http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YbOaVFNxh3...00/mmfront.jpg
Mercury Magic - Mercury Magic (1980)

An insanely obscure mid-tempo rock n' roll album with sax, flute, some reggae bass and a prog. rock aesthetic dealing with themes of love, heartbreak and other tempestuous hormonal lyrical themes. Ideal for a late night drive with your GF/BF.


http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YLvuHaPT9P...+artist+in.jpg
Thrice - The Artist in the Ambulance (2003)

Although I got this mostly for middle school nostalgia reasons (which might as well be a century ago for me), it holds up surprisingly well to my current set of ears. Classic post-2000 melodic hardcore that proves to be infectious once you turn your brain off.

downloading now, can't wait to listen

Major Lazer's "Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do"

and I LOVE IT! I guess I was lucky because I heard it being played at Hollister or whatever and the name was on a tv. HAHA.

Same!

Also downloading this:

Recently downloaded Get Lonely by The Mountain Goats... darn fine album, very dark, very personal and its sound somewhat matches its lyrical desolation... one feels very lonely as you parse the lyrics, listen to the sometimes solitary guitar parts... and the oh so deeply personal lyrics, about a break up and its aftermath. A darn compelling and brilliant album is what ]'d call it.

Both are incredible.
...seeing these guys (J-Lou-Murph) in March and I can't wait!

Yesterday I bought two albums. Because I love them, they are my favourite :)

Opeth - Damnation

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QfO4GPiIER.../Damnation.jpg

Riverside - Anno Domini High Definition

http://metaldrx.files.wordpress.com/...sicde_anhd.jpg

Love that Opeth album... my favourite one by them is 'Still Life'

I've always been interested in Riverside but haven't heard any of their stuff. I'll definitely need to check 'em out.

I've got a few Riverside albums and I think the best one to start off with is either Out of Myself or Rapid Eye Movement. Neither of them are particularly "hard" but it's still pretty decent progressive metal if you're driving with grandma.

Ken Andrews -Secret of the Lost Satellite

Solo album from the former Failure frontman and I have to say I am really enjoying it. I love Failure, I love Autolux, and now I'm really starting to enjoy Ken Andrew's solo work, now I just need to find out what the former bassist of the band has been up to to complete my collection.

http://www.bluekitchen.net/BESNARDLA...darkhorses.jpg

Besnard Lakes - Are the Dark Horse

Sort of a post-rock/shoegaze/indie band out of Canada that I've heard good things about.

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/174s/39316205.jpg

Hum - Downward is Heaven

Sort of a fuzzy space rock band with some indie influence, great album.

http://shopbase.finetunes.net/shopse...datatype=fc300

Free Kitten - Sentimental Education

Collaboration album from Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth and Julia Cafritz of Pussy Galore... could be interesting.

Just finished downloading Everything Is True by Something for Kate's Paul Dempsey.... looking forward to giving this one a nice, close listen!
