I much prefer this to Night at the Opera, Willco.

[The Fake Shemp]

That's because it's only one of the greatest live albums ever!

[Robo]

Why does the new Twilight movie have such a great soundtrack?

Death Cab for Cutie, "Meet Me on the Equinox"
Band of Skulls, "Friends"
Thom Yorke, "Hearing Damage"
Lykke Li, "Possibility"
The Killers, "A White Demon Love Song"
Anya Marina, "Satellite Heart"

Hurricane Bells, "Monsters"
Sea Wolf, "The Violet Hour"
OK Go, "Shooting the Moon"
Grizzly Bear, "Slow Life"

Is there some big joke I'm not privy to or has everyone lost their mind?

[Himu]

Thom is making a new solo album?

I've been wondering the same thing.

Are these all songs recorded specifically for the film? I don't recognize any of them

[Robo]

Thom is making a new solo album?

Hard to say when he's so secretive about the shit he's working on.  He is releasing a couple brand new songs in a few days, though.

[Robo]

As far as I can tell, yeah. 

I guess it isn't such a bad thing when you consider how much deserved exposure it'll bring to many of these artists.  Still, Twilight?   

Can you even imagine yourself buying an album with this cover:

[Mr. Gundam]

There's a version of I Belong to You on thew new Muse album, but it has a different subtitle.

[The Fake Shemp]

Is BRMC any good anymore?

[Robo]

I really liked their last album, but I think I'm in the minority.

[The Fake Shemp]

I used to listen to their stuff when I put my music on MiniDiscs.

[drew]

i need some new music, the last proper album i listened to before i got into my annual stupid rap summer shit was that tobacco one

[OptimoPeach]

Get OB4CL pt. II. There are a couple songs a page or 2 back

[drew]

ill check that out, i like electroesque stuff like m83, tobacco, soulwax as well as metal stuff like mastodon if that helps

[Saint Cornelius]

I can't stop listening to this:



You can listen to it here

[OptimoPeach]

You might like Black Moth Super Rainbow. Tobacco writes their songs

[The Fake Shemp]

Told you that live album is awesome.

Right now I'm listening to THE POLICE.

[Himu]

The part that gets me on the album is where he's singing a bunch of random shit and the crowd sings with him. You can tell he's having the time of his life.

What are the best new wave groups?

[OptimoPeach]

What are the best new wave groups?

Talking Heads, XTC, Depeche Mode, Devo. Especially Talking Heads

[Himu]

I require a new The Hives album.

[youtube=560,345]JsOWaxYahzc[/youtube]

[TakingBackSunday]

Hives

[Robo]

What are the best new wave groups?

Talking Heads, XTC, Depeche Mode, Devo. Especially Talking Heads

Also: Blondie, Elvis Costello, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, the Pretenders, the Jam, Japan, Duran Duran, and Gary Numan.  But especially Talking Heads.

[TakingBackSunday]

Elvis Costello

actually got to shake his hand a coupla weeks ago

[Don Flamenco]

   

also...

Fear of Music


and I'm not a Queen fan, so this will have to do for best live album of all time:

   

[tiesto]

If you like M83 and want something a bit more downtempo and melodic, Ulrich Schnauss would be a good start. Don't really listen to electro too much anymore tho, not sure what's popular nowadays, I guess you can give MSTRKRFT a try, you might like this one:

[Akala]

That's not bad, but damn did N.O.R.E. blow up.

[ch1nchilla]

SHINICHI OSAWA AND DIPLO (and Steve Aoki). Gettin' pumped to see them play tonight!

[Mr. Gundam]

Just got back from seeing the Manics in Seattle. First time they've played in North America in TEN YEARS.

Fucking brilliant show.

[Bebpo]

came out today.  Not sure what I think.  Not feeling it so far though outside a few songs.  I do dig that all 3 of their albums have COMPLETELY different sounds.  But I dig the sounds of the other albums

[OptimoPeach]

Yeah, BrandNew got me all excited, but I didn't even make it all the way through I think the first song or 2 are great, but then it gets progressively worse -- unless it picks up at the end. Maybe I'll go finish it

[Robo]

I just heard this on NPR's All Songs Considered podcast and thought it was so awesome.

[youtube=560,345]to7PxdyEdDw[/youtube]

[The Fake Shemp]

I bet BrandNew likes Animal Collective.

... that's Ryan Gosling's band, RoboJ?

[Robo]

He's so dreamy.

[OptimoPeach]

I bet BrandNew likes Animal Collective.

I enjoyed MPP

I don't like the kids, but it's still better than you'd expect from the star of The Notebook

[TakingBackSunday]

I wasn't really feeling Vapours past the third song the first couple of times I listened to the album.  I gave it more time though, and by about 5 or 6 listens I started to really enjoy it, sans tracks 7 and 8.  All I can say is give it a few more listens - it's really quite different than what they usually sound like, yes, but I think it's definitely better than Arm's Way.  It's much more of a Unicorns album, if you ask me.

Tender Torture

[Bebpo]

Yeah, it's been getting good reviews so I figure it'll grow on me.
I love Return to the Sea and think Arm's Way is crazy in a very good way.  I think Vapours is too mellow for my tastes though, I got into Islands because of their long always changing rock/pop songs like Swans and by this album I feel most of that is gone.

Still excited to see them at the Troubadour next month though.  Hoping they play some of my favorites from the previous two albums.

What are the best music blogs and podcasts?

[Robo]

What are the best music blogs and podcasts?

NPR has two good podcasts dedicated primarily to new "indie" music (using "indie" as a vague genre label here for the sake of simplicity): All Songs Considered, which generally covers new releases and reissues, and All Concerts Considered, which is recordings of live shows by fairly prominent "indie" (again) musicians.  I'm not sure if All Concerts Considered would appeal too much to folks outside of the MD/DC/VA area since most of the shows are recorded locally at the 9:30 Club and, for me, there's some novelty at work there, but I think they regularly feature some pretty outstanding performances.

[Himu]

So do they cover rock, rap, the whole spectrum on All Songs Considered?

It's a podcast as well as a blog looking at your post above.

They rarely cover rap, although yesterday's episode featured the new Black Keys project.  I can't think of the last time they covered any new hip-hop related releases.  It's mostly in the rock/pop spectrum.

The blog portion isn't very comprehensive and I don't follow it much.  They're basically usually just regurgitating tidbits on the blog that you can find on any number of larger sites dedicated to the same subject (Stereogum, Pitchfork, Drowned in Sound, Tiny Mix Tapes, etc).

[Himu]

In new music news, both Dinosaur Jr's Farm and Pearl Jam's new album are great.

In my early teens I was all into rap. I remember all the white kids wearing Pink Floyd t-shirts. "What the fuck is that? A brand name?" "Why would a guy wear a shirt with something that said pink on it?"

[Don Flamenco]

which is funny because a lot of us who grew up on Nirvana, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, NIN (closer/downward spiral), etc. ended up moving on to rap around senior year/college  

[Himu]

Really.

Me. Had no interest in rap until a friend played a few 2pac songs in 10th grade

yup, it was Wu-Tang and Digible Planets for me.  I was not too psyched about snoop and dre, but the next wave with biggy, tupac, wu-tang...that shit was pretty undeniable

[Himu]

I didn't start getting into rock until 10th grade and even then it wasn't "classic" rock. It was stuff like the Foo Fighters, Placebo and Muse.

[The Fake Shemp]

I was exposed to a wide variety of music at a young age, since my father was a guitarist in a blues rock band.

Then he became a booking agent, and eventually a manager, so I'd go on the road with him to gigs across the Eastern seaboard. I got to hang out with blues, soul, hip hop and rock musicians.

When I became an older teenager, oddly enough, he exposed me less to the road life (I guess a kid couldn't get into too much trouble).

After he got one of his acts to the Grammys, and the political nonsense that came with it, he'd left the industry for good.

[Trent Dole]

Giving The Fragile a listen since its 10th anniversary was recently. I forgot how insanely layered this record is.

[OptimoPeach]

I'm embarrassed to admit the shit I used to listen to, but I blame it on being born in the 90s

[CajoleJuice]

My taste has barely changed since my teenage years...

...except for the really embarrassing shit that will remain unmentioned, but everyone knows.
