Sorry. No dice.
Also, speaking of new stuff, I have 3-4 friends who won't shut up about Vampire Weekend. I'm reluctant because Pitchfork has slobbed on them and I try to avoid doing what they say to do. Which makes me some sort of reverse-snob-higher-than-elitist music snob.
I'm insufferable.

I think someone around here (likely Slaky, possibly Oleg) went nuts at HJE about how much they hate Vampire Weekend.
Or something.
Then I think we talked about boobs for a while.

Rush and Foreigner.
I like the Vampire Weekend album. It's not going to change the world but it is fun, summery stuff.
The Sun Kil Moon one is totally the opposite. But I like it too.
New Portishead rocks as well.

Midget Selling Water, you my only friend.
In mexico, I kept hearing this jazz lounge music that I couldn't place, since I new all the lyrics while not ever hearing the songs.. found out the group (brazillian I think) covers old songs in a jazz/lounge format.. great stuff.. if anyone's interested,
check out the bossa n' roses (covers GNR), bossa n' stones (Stones) and bossa 'n marley (you get the point) albums on itunes.. good background music, ladies will enjoy it (even more than the JMIII)...
Anyone heard the new My Morning Jacket yet? I keep reading it's completely out there.

I have, it's like the last album.. good compared to most albums out there now, nowhere near as good as what they used to be... it still moves is one of the best albums i've ever heard though.. i miss their old country twangy type sounding songs..
Paul Weller's new one is on the horizon. Winners are we.

And let's face it, who
isn't a fan of those things?
I keep meaning to mention, for all you "Scene-that-celebrates-itself" fans out there, see if you can download some of "the Field Mice" from somewhere. They were a pretty little-known band from Bristol (Sarah Records) who split up just as they started to have some success. Beautiful, beautiful music, though.
So there you go, consider it mentioned.
By the way, the bird from M83 is a (vocal) dead ringer for Kate Bush.

Maybe try Matthew Ryan. In my opinion one of hte best songwriters of our generation, gets little press from the media.. met him a couple of times after shows at schubas, great guy. His new album, Matthew Ryan vs the Silver State is prime stuff.

Elliott Smith. It might lack the "not really" part, but it's incredible stuff.
For anyone that digs Girl Talk, his new album is available for download today. Though you can pledge any amount for it, they don't actually force you to go through with the transaction...
Good stuff.

Anyone here ever heard of Shwayze? My friend just sent me some of their stuff yesterday, and I guess the first CD comes out next Tuesday. They're more of an instrumental hip-hop, sort of like Gym Class Heroes. The guitarist looks like Weird Al, but it's pretty mellow stuff:

One of those is literal, one wasn't. I don't know which is which.
Those IRS albums are some of the best music ever put on tape in a recording studio. I'd put it up against just about any band's peak years, except for maybe the Stones. It also makes much of their 90s and aughts output so much more disappointing.

REM's "Murmur" just got re-released. The sound on it is pretty clean. If you like REM (I don't), I'd recommend it.
Just turn on XRT, you'll hear REM about every hour.
For the last twenty-five fucking years.
What's the frequency?
He just told you, about every hour.
Sheesh.
He was asking Kenneth.
If you don't like REM's IRS years, then I have no idea why you listen to music at all.
No he was asking Dan.
Yes their best music was on the IRS albums, but enough is enough already.
One of those is literal, one wasn't. I don't know which is which.
Those IRS albums are some of the best music ever put on tape in a recording studio. I'd put it up against just about any band's peak years, except for maybe the Stones. It also makes much of their 90s and aughts output so much more disappointing.
What? You don't like the "Man on the Moon" soundtrack?
It's so sensitive.

There's a huge difference in hating a band and just not being familiar with or indifferent to their catalog. I can say, without a doubt, that I have absolutely no interest in listening to any REM from the 90s and beyond.

I always found their stuff to be kind of dull, repetitive and self-important. Almost like if Sting were from Georgia.
As for any great run REM had, best runs by artists that far exceed REM start with: Bob Dylan (Bob Dylan to Blonde on Blonde), Beatles (A Hard Day's Night to Sgt. Pepper), Beach Boys (Everything up to the "Good Vibrations" single), The Jam (All Mod Cons through Sound Affects), and Stevie Wonder (Fulfillingness' First Finale through Songs In The Key Of Life).
There are others, but I don't have all day.
Some bands I like to name check
And one of them is R.E.M.
Classic songs with a long history
Southern boys, just like you and me: R.E.M.
Flashback, 1983
"Chronic Town" was their first EP
Later on came "Reckoning"
Finster's art, and titles to match
"South Central Rain"
"(Don't Go Back To) Rockville", "Harborcoat"
"Pretty Persuasion", "(You Were Born To Be A) Camera"
"Time After Time" was my least favorite song
"Time After Time" was my least favorite song
The singer, he had long hair
And the drummer, he knew restraint
And the bassman, he had all the right moves
And the guitar player was no saint
So lets go way back
To the ancient times
When there were no 50 states
And on a hill there stands Sherman
Sherman and his mates
They're marchin' through Georgia
Marchin' through Georgia
They're marchin' through Georgia
G-G-G-G-Georgia
They're marchin' through Georgia
We're marchin' through Georgia
Marchin' through Georgia
G-G-G-G-Georgia
And there stands R.E.M.
(Actually... I'm with Slak on this one. Maybe it's a generational thing. Oleg is so old.)

Nope. FORK IS RIGHT. Without exaggeration, The Jam were one of the most important bands of the twentieth century. REM made some very clever, very enjoyable, very memorable music but they never pushed boundaries or created their own culture in the way that The Jam did. Paul Weller's lyrics alone were life-changing - not so the (self-admitted) nonsense that Stipe writes.
Go and listen to "That's Entertainment" or "Down in the Tube Station", compare that to, well, anything that Stipe ever wrote, and tell me again that The Jam don't far exceed R.E.M.
I would also agree with all the other bands that Fork mentioned - and it's not even particularly close. Those people all changed the World, R.E.M. just made the World a nicer place to live in. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Fucking good list, that, Fork.
If you want a run of albums by a group that made the world a better place to live, start with "Cool for Cats" and end with "East Side Story".

You won't be at all surprised to hear that I fucking love "Squeeze".
The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass
The cowboys take positions in the bushes and the grass
The squaw is with the Corporal she is tied against the tree
She doesn't mind the language it's the beating she don't need
She lets loose all the horses when the Corporal is asleep
And he wakes to find the fire's dead and arrows in his hat
And Davy Crockett rides around and says it's cool for cats, it's cool for cats
The Sweeney's doing ninety 'cos they've got the word to go
They get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow
They're counting out the fivers when the handcuffs lock again
In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names
It's funny how the missus' always looks the bleedin' same
And meanwhile at the station there's a couple of likely lads
Who swear like how's your father and they're very cool for cats, they're cool for cats
To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub
I see in my reflection I'm looking slightly rough
I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash
I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash
And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had
And ev'rybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat, cool for cats
Shake up at the disco and I think I've got a pull
I ask her lots of questions as she hangs on to the wall
I kiss her for the first time and then I take her home
I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone
She likes to go to discos but she's never on her own
I said I'll see you later and I give her some old chat
But it's not like that on the TV when it's cool for cats, it's cool for cats
To expand on Tonk's song quoting, while there is beauty to be found in a really good album, there is nothing as enjoyable to me as a perfectly crafted single. Phil Spector was capable of doing more in 2 minutes 30 seconds than Pink Floyd could do in a double album.
Neither Nirvana album could capture the disenfranchisement and alienation of youth as perfectly as "Blitzkrieg Bop".
No number of books about Beatlemania could explain what the fuss was all about as neatly as everything from the drum roll to the ending harmony of "She Loves You".

I don't disagree; however, your point is generational. I would disagree about your conclusions, however. I'm not about to argue against Phil Spector (or anything that was done in Detroit at the time). Nor am I going to take anything away from The Ramones. However, to dismiss Nirvana so brazenly shows nothing except that you came of age about 13 years before I did.
There's no way you can tell me, that as a 19 year old kid going away to college that the angst I felt about what was going on around me, and to me, was somehow less valid than what you went through. You had The Ramones; we had Nirvana. One is more relevant than the other because one came earlier. Teenage angst is a crazy thing, and we may make fun of it in our thirties, but God damn we felt that shit and it made us who we are.
The funny thing is that you didn't even mention what may be the most influential angst in our lifetimes, the hip hop/rap movement. The evolution of that genre and the voice it gave to millions of youths who had no voice before is completely overlooked. Granted, as with any sub-genre, it gave rise to a load of crap, but Afrika Bambata and Public Enemy and The Roots are as important to our culture as The Ramones and (putting on the flame suit) The Beach Boys.
Rock N Roll has proven to be an ever-evolving art-form. We have moved from 2 minute AM singles to wall of sound, record-side length "songs" of the Dead to teenage anger punk to an inner city voice with rap and hip-hop. And everything in between and back again. Nothing in rock music is linear, and that's what makes it so fucking awesome.
Arguing about REM vs The Jam is splitting hairs.

I prefer the Jam to REM, myself (by a wide margin), but I still say that REM from Chronic Town through about Document should not be judged for the sins of later REM.

Hmmm... What your point, Fork?
Was someone arguing that "Heart Shaped Box" or "Rape Me" or "Lounge Act" or "Come As You Are" were better expressions of raw punk angst than the original and defining single by
the definitive punk rock band? (Or that books on the Beatles are better than the Beatles?)
The great thing about music (all art, really) is that a work doesn't necessarily have to be better than any one exemplar of quality to be worthwhile or even really fucking awesome.
If that were the case, I'd have had to stop listening to rock music once I heard "You Really Got Me."

I was thinking more along the lines of which is the better version of "Even Flow". The Ten original album version or the remastered version with Dave Abbruzzese on drums.
There is a right answer, people.

To expand on Tonk's song quoting, while there is beauty to be found in a really good album, there is nothing as enjoyable to me as a perfectly crafted single. Phil Spector was capable of doing more in 2 minutes 30 seconds than Pink Floyd could do in a double album.
Neither Nirvana album could capture the disenfranchisement and alienation of youth as perfectly as "Blitzkrieg Bop".
No number of books about Beatlemania could explain what the fuss was all about as neatly as everything from the drum roll to the ending harmony of "She Loves You".
I don't disagree; however, your point is generational. I would disagree about your conclusions, however. I'm not about to argue against Phil Spector (or anything that was done in Detroit at the time). Nor am I going to take anything away from The Ramones. However, to dismiss Nirvana so brazenly shows nothing except that you came of age about 13 years before I did.
There's no way you can tell me, that as a 19 year old kid going away to college that the angst I felt about what was going on around me, and to me, was somehow less valid than what you went through. You had The Ramones; we had Nirvana. One is more relevant than the other because one came earlier. Teenage angst is a crazy thing, and we may make fun of it in our thirties, but God damn we felt that shit and it made us who we are.
The funny thing is that you didn't even mention what may be the most influential angst in our lifetimes, the hip hop/rap movement. The evolution of that genre and the voice it gave to millions of youths who had no voice before is completely overlooked. Granted, as with any sub-genre, it gave rise to a load of crap, but Afrika Bambata and Public Enemy and The Roots are as important to our culture as The Ramones and (putting on the flame suit) The Beach Boys.
Rock N Roll has proven to be an ever-evolving art-form. We have moved from 2 minute AM singles to wall of sound, record-side length "songs" of the Dead to teenage anger punk to an inner city voice with rap and hip-hop. And everything in between and back again. Nothing in rock music is linear, and that's what makes it so fucking awesome.

Holy shit, do I love rock-n-roll!
I don't care what generation you're a part of, how could you possibly think that The Ramones are anything but unadulterated crap? Sure, they had spunk and all, but I'm still not even sure that they ever decided to write another melody after their first one....

I think he does. I completely understand the annoying factor. I'm certainly not interested in debating the merits of their music.
Keep in mind my musical taste has evolved from metal to death metal back to prog metal and Rush and now into the whatever sounds good and isn't irritating or overbearingly popular.
If I really wanted to start a debate with a few people around here I could tell you how I went from enjoying Kings of Leon to absolutely loathing them in a matter of weeks. Oleg and BH - I know you want summa this.

Neither Nirvana album could capture the disenfranchisement and alienation of youth as perfectly as "Blitzkrieg Bop".
No number of books about Beatlemania could explain what the fuss was all about as neatly as everything from the drum roll to the ending harmony of "She Loves You".

In high school I thought Rush was the fucking balls. I haven't listened to them in years.
But I loved Zappa at that time as well and I appreciate him more now than ever. Maybe I grew up.

In high school I thought Rush was the fucking balls. I haven't listened to them in years.
But I loved Zappa at that time as well and I appreciate him more now than ever. Maybe I grew up.
Who else rocked early on and his later stuff makes me fall asleep? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMvI5OX6nUw&feature=related)
Part of the reason the Jam were so good is that they never had time to get old or wear thin. They burned out fast, but by Christ they burned bright. Same goes for the Beatles, to an extent. And Fawlty Towers and The Office. Who the fuck cares what was on the Stones' latest album? I couldn't even tell you what it's called. They could have stopped after "Let it Bleed" and "Sticky Fingers" and that would have been fine by me.
The next three albums the Jam never made would probably have let us all down terribly. They'd have been the Style Council, in fact.

To expand on Tonk's song quoting, while there is beauty to be found in a really good album, there is nothing as enjoyable to me as a perfectly crafted single. Phil Spector was capable of doing more in 2 minutes 30 seconds than Pink Floyd could do in a double album.
Neither Nirvana album could capture the disenfranchisement and alienation of youth as perfectly as "Blitzkrieg Bop".
No number of books about Beatlemania could explain what the fuss was all about as neatly as everything from the drum roll to the ending harmony of "She Loves You".
I don't disagree; however, your point is generational. I would disagree about your conclusions, however. I'm not about to argue against Phil Spector (or anything that was done in Detroit at the time). Nor am I going to take anything away from The Ramones. However, to dismiss Nirvana so brazenly shows nothing except that you came of age about 13 years before I did.
There's no way you can tell me, that as a 19 year old kid going away to college that the angst I felt about what was going on around me, and to me, was somehow less valid than what you went through. You had The Ramones; we had Nirvana. One is more relevant than the other because one came earlier. Teenage angst is a crazy thing, and we may make fun of it in our thirties, but God damn we felt that shit and it made us who we are.
The funny thing is that you didn't even mention what may be the most influential angst in our lifetimes, the hip hop/rap movement. The evolution of that genre and the voice it gave to millions of youths who had no voice before is completely overlooked. Granted, as with any sub-genre, it gave rise to a load of crap, but Afrika Bambata and Public Enemy and The Roots are as important to our culture as The Ramones and (putting on the flame suit) The Beach Boys.
Rock N Roll has proven to be an ever-evolving art-form. We have moved from 2 minute AM singles to wall of sound, record-side length "songs" of the Dead to teenage anger punk to an inner city voice with rap and hip-hop. And everything in between and back again. Nothing in rock music is linear, and that's what makes it so fucking awesome.
Arguing about REM vs The Jam is splitting hairs.
Holy shit, do I love rock-n-roll!
I don't care what generation you're a part of, how could you possibly think that The Ramones are anything but unadulterated crap? Sure, they had spunk and all, but I'm still not even sure that they ever decided to write another melody after their first one....

That's about where it ends.
What sucks for those of my generation, who never got the chance to see these classic rock giants at their best, is that there won't be anything like those bands anymore. The Stones, The Who, Zeppelin, etc. Now, I wasn't around then so maybe they weren't as mainstream as I imagine them to be (the charts from those days tell me otherwise though).
But look at today's biggest acts. There aren't a ton of super popular rock bands with the body of work to back it up. Everything popular now is just not that good. You have to seek out the good stuff, and there's a lot of it. But those bands won't have the following that these bands from the 60s and 70s had. Not even close.
I don't know if I have a point.
It might be something like, the 60s and 70s were awesome.

I mean seriously, Dave Edmunds AND Nick Lowe?
So as I was saying way back in this thread - if there is a better song than "My Girls" by Animal Collective released in this calendar year, it'll be a fantastic year.
This here isn't a video for the song, but it's the only free listen to the full track I could find. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_MD29yXy5Q)

Sure but that was 77, maybe if you'd seen them in 72 or 73? It would have been easier if you lived in England, but I digress. And saying the Eagles was the worst concert you've ever seen is like saying peanut butter is awesome.

If. If, if, if. DiAnno is still the starter in my Maiden fantasy team, every time. Because. Of. That. Voice.
There's only two voices better, in my book : Steve Marriott and Karen Carpenter.
Imagine if Mama Cass had given Karen Carpenter her ham sandwich...yes, I know she didn't really die from a sandwich, but the joke wouldn't work otherwise.
You forgot to put this in [fork] brackets.
Oh, wait... Carry on.

So as I was saying way back in this thread - if there is a better song than "My Girls" by Animal Collective released in this calendar year, it'll be a fantastic year.
This here isn't a video for the song, but it's the only free listen to the full track I could find. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_MD29yXy5Q)
Here's the video - wow. http://www.myanimalhome.net/ (http://www.myanimalhome.net/)

Holy shit. That was awesome. Great find.
QuoteIs it much to admit I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
With a little girl, and by my spouse
I only want a proper house
I don't care for fancy things
Or to take part in a precious race
And children cry for the one who has
A real big heart and a father's grace
I don't mean to seem like I care about material things like a social status
I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls

Saw Animal Collective last night at the Metro. Despite the fact that it was an all ages show (meaning it ends promptly at 10 pm) I was blown away. They are a must-see live if you have any interest in them. It's quite an experience. The reggae influence really shows when they're live and the songs take on a whole new energy.
It also helps to be baked.
10 stars.

Shit. I was very tempted to walk over and pay the $100 or whatever to scalp a ticket last night. Instead, I settled for youtubing every AC thing I could get my hands on. I have a real problem right now. There are some ridiculous renditions of Purple Bottle and Brother Sport online.

By the way, they're playing in Milwaukee in April or May. That may fulfill my annual WI quota for 2009.

They played mostly new stuff - highlights were of course Brother Sport and My Girls. They also played Leaf House which was great. The encore was Panda Bear's Comfy in Nautica which was a surprise and totally fucking awesome. Panda Bear is the shit. I love that guy.

This.
There are a couple live versions of that on YouTube also. Though it still sounds great, you can see how much vocal "help" he got in the production of
Person Pitch. Still, having him do most of the vocals on MPP (and letting Avey just do his whelps and wails) is what makes the new album sooo good. Panda Bear just rules.

He sounded great live - but I don't think it's a secret that they manipulate the hell out of the vocals on all their recordings. They use electronic everything.

Are you not a fan? I honestly don't know, so I'm asking.
Anyway, that's probably the only thing Radiohead and Animal Collective have in common.

I was bummed to find out the minute I decided they were awesome was a week to the day after they had been at Schuba's. Probably for eight bucks and in front of 43 people. Fuck.
They're coming back March 27th.

Check 'em out - http://www.myspace.com/netherfriends
Doesn't sound too promising. But it sounds like it will be a good night to get wasted and hear some music. I'll give 'em a shot.
Ok, I just got two albums that leaked early. They'll be out later this month. I'll also be seeing both bands in Feb/March for cheep cheep cheep.
First is the new Appleseed Cast album, Sagarmatha. It's very post-rock (if that term has any meaning) and a amalgamation of their best albums. In other words, it's fucking awesome so far.
Second, I got the new Trail of Dead (...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead) album called The Century of Self and it's explosive. I really like this band though, some might find them irritating. Last time I saw them at Metro they employed two drummers with full kits which made for a loud, bad ass show. I'm pretty excited about this upcoming gig at the Empty Bottle.
If you search those two band names on google with the term "leak" you should be taken right to a link to download them. Highly recommended.

It was probably 4 years ago last I saw them, but they definitely did that night. The show is 10-12 bucks and I don't think it's sold out. March 6th.
Bump.
Not a new album, but am really getting into Magnolia Electric Co's Trials and Errors album...
reminds me of great Crazy Horse stuff, really great overblown tube amp sounds with great lyrics.
Might be my favorite Steve Albini recorded stuff..
If you like the last 3rd of a Hank III show, I recommend Assjack's debut album. Hank pulls a Reznor and recorded all the tracks himself.
The Xx is well worth purchasing/listening to. Just don't ever see a video of the chick with the sexy voice.

Listening to the new album by Atlas Sound, called Logos. Panda Bear contributed to the first song. Sounds similar to something Animal Collective would put out. In other words, it's awesome.

Yeah, that's the one - it's actually the third song, not the first.
On another note, I'm not so savvy on how the kids download free music anymore, but I found this site (http://www.iomoio.com/) that is clearly Russian and/or illegal and was probably set up by a group that participates in the flesh trade. You can get 400 songs for 25 bucks and they've got a good selection. I've bought several albums and haven't had a kidney forcibly removed by the KGB yet.

Great recommendation, thanks. I haven't seen anyone here mention This Will Destroy You. I was disappointed to find myself not in fact destroyed after listening to their self-titled album, but it's good stuff similar to Explosions in the Sky.
The new single by Tegan and Sara sounds pretty cool.

Anybody heard of Other Lives (http://www.hearya.com/2009/02/17/other-lives-the-first-big-surprise-of-2009-album-review-sxsw-2009/)? They're good at music.

I liked their previous incarnation as Kunek - but hadn't listened to Other Lives until now. Very nice.
Anyone interested in folksy, scarf-wearing music from the north should check out Kings of Convenience. Yeah, they're from Norway but I was listening to them before I met the Mrs.
New album is addictive and it's called Declaration of Dependence. Check out these tunes:

That dude looks like a young Michael Caine.
Speaking of folksy stuff from across the pond, check out Mumford & Sons. If you can get your hands on their debut album, it is really, really, really good.

I'm not sure if this is really up anybody's alley, but I found this Eric Hutchinson guy on Last.fm the other day and his music is pretty awesome. I kind of doubt anyone here likes Jason Mraz, but he's probably the most comparable artist I can think of, although you can definitely tell he was influenced by Michael Jackson (<pedophile joke>). This song in particular is catchy as hell (can't find the album version):

TDubbs needs to go East and score some Bridge & Tunnel trim.
Getting more and more into Two Cow Garage (http://www.twocowgarage.com/), their new album Speaking in Cursive is really good. Takes awhile to get used to his voice, but it's solid stuff. They are touring now with the Hold Steady. Similar to other bands I listen to a lot, Lucero, Drag the River, Glossary, Slobberbone.
The Antlers - Hospice. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-antlers-hospice,31700/) Big ol' natural sweaty titties dipped in steak juice. I'm pretty sure I suck at these kinds of comparisons but I'd call it Arcade Fire combined with Explosions in the Sky and a bit of Bon Iver tossed in.

Good point - it gets pretty depressing. The next to last song (Wake) is epically awesome though.
I'll second the Local Natives recommendation too - great album. They're playing at Schuba's next month.
Just realized there's a new Besnard Lakes album out. This band is incredible - but I haven't given the new album a listen yet. It's called The Besnard Lakes are the Roaring Night.

I'll take any castoff tickets that anyone has available.
New Drive By Truckers is $3.99 on amazon right now. Wish I could say it was worth much more, but it's not.
The song on the radio is the best song by far. They are still letting the girl sing, and she sounds worse on this album.
I used to love this band, not I'm pretty meh about their efforts. They should have never kicked Jason Isbell out of the band.
Anyone get the new Black Keys album? Surprise of the year: I don't like it so far. Not much at all, sir.
New album (http://www.lala.com/#album/1225260573703697747/The_National/High_Violet) by The National out today. Really enjoying the first listen.

Hope you found a ticket. These guys put on a kick ass show.
Picked up a bunch of new shit:
Deftones, Foals, The National, Circa Survive, Broken Social Scene, LCD Soundsystem, Minus the Bear and The Radio Dept.
I have only really listened to Circa Survive so far and I like what I hear quite a bit.
Anyone hear any of these yet?

The National is a bit of a disappointment, I've only streamed LCD and like it - but not as much as Sound of Silver. Want to check out the Foals. Excited for the Sleigh Bells album too.
New LCD is really good aside from Drunk Girls. All I Want and Dance Yrself Clean are incredible.
Also really enjoying the Rill Rill song by Sleigh Bells. The rest of it is pretty shite though. I dig the Funkadelic sample.
Got a ton of new shit I need to sit down with.
Anyone into the psych should check out the new Sleepy Sun album, Fever.

The new Locksley is a decent summer pop album.
I like the new National album quite a bit. I was one of three people that didn't think Boxer was the greatest thing in history so I'm glad they made this one.
Anyone heard any stuff from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros? I just heard that "Home" song a few weeks ago. I definitely like it.

Yeah, they've sold all their songs to ad companies at this point - which pretty much ensures we'll see at least a second album. I think there are some good songs on that album - best song is Desert Song, for my money. Home is extremely catchy, too, though.

Nice. I'll probably pick it up. I'm usually behind on things it seems. I listen to the Alternative Hits station on Slacker, and it seems like they come out with a song a little while later, as it appears Home was out in 2009.. I don't listen to radio in the car, so that's my only source.

Don't know. But I have a new favorite album. I'm going to listen this thing into the ground. They have other stuff too. I plan on celebrating their entire catalogue.

Speaking of folksy stuff from across the pond, check out Mumford & Sons. If you can get your hands on their debut album, it is really, really, really good.

Holy shit. Sigh No More is fucking awesome. I will be listening to nothing else for the foreseeable future. Well, that and their EPs as well. This is blowing me away.
10/31 show at The Riv (I think it's The Riv). Can't wait.

I see the comparison to Fleet Foxes. However, this band makes Fleet Foxes seem bland. And I do like that Fleet Foxes album a lot.

They put on a great show. I saw them a few months ago at Lincoln Hall (fantastic venue, btw) and they rocked it. Not as good on a large stage at Lollapalooza. Should be pretty great at the Riv.
New Black Angels came out today. Go listen to the song I posted on Facebook. Very awesome.
New Black Mountain came out last week. Here's a song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mypHId8vOJw
Also downloaded a new EP put out by The Most Serene Republic which is fucking crazy good. I think if you like Radiohead you'd dig this but who the fuck knows. Here's a song from that - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtsAUOy3LPM

I just remembered this group (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordman) as I was introduced to them in 2001 when I was in Denmark. I enjoyed the album I have (and I would need to check my home computer to see which one it is. I'm assuming Här och nu is the one I have.)
Anyone heard of them? And Slaky, I'm somewhat looking at you. And is any of their other stuff worthy of listening if anyone likes them.

Les Savy Fav have a new one out, "Root For Ruin."
It's good, but still stuck on the same plateau they landed on with "Let's Stay Friends."
The better moments on it may be where they forgo the attempts to revisit the Les Savy Fav ragers of old and indulge their melodic side. The immediate stand-out for me is "Let's Get Out of Here": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0a12h8Nb2g
It's Les Savy Fav. And it's good, not great. If you're already a Les Savy Fav fan, you've probably already got it. If you're not, you'd probably be better served by "Go Forth" and "Inches."

I wonder if he talks like an ordinary guy.
I think he does. I completely understand the annoying factor. I'm certainly not interested in debating the merits of their music.
Keep in mind my musical taste has evolved from metal to death metal back to prog metal and Rush and now into the whatever sounds good and isn't irritating or overbearingly popular.
If I really wanted to start a debate with a few people around here I could tell you how I went from enjoying Kings of Leon to absolutely loathing them in a matter of weeks. Oleg and BH - I know you want summa this.

At least until George Clinton kicked that funky ball of tits from outerspace off the Mothership. That was July the 2nd, 1979: the day the funk died.
And now for a couple of faux-elitist recommendations:
If you want to know what it feels like to be an astronaut that just single-handedly stomped an Earth-murdering asteroid you should imagine yourself doing so while listening to Philos by Russian Circles (http://tinysong.com/d8Aj)
If you likes dee metal, the idea of a two-drummer band, and busty blondes that shred please check out Kylesa because they are all of these things. They're the balls. Here's Said and Done (http://tinysong.com/d8pv) from their last album, Static Tensions. They opened up for Mastodon earlier this year and are touring now with High on Fire. And I fucking missed them in Chicago.

If you want to know what it feels like to be an astronaut that just single-handedly stomped an Earth-murdering asteroid you should imagine yourself doing so while listening to Philos by Russian Circles (http://tinysong.com/d8Aj)
I really love the Death Rides a Horse song. It does very well when it comes up while working out. However, iTunes won't let me download it unless I buy the whole album.. Worth it?
Definitely - but you should get Geneva first. That album is my favorite.

For serial? I do have an AIM account but I haven't logged on in a while. I did accidentally click on the icon the other day and found out I needed to download a new version. I can do that. I'm sure there's an app for AIM on the phone. Would that work for that? If not, I can get the AIM at home updated.

I was wondering how one man could have so many "Glee" albums.
Not really new as I bought this cd probably 6-8 years ago, but did anyone else get into Five For Fighting? Or was I the only one who loved their pussy rock? I'm listening to the CD again and enjoying it. I'm also going to play my Tantric CD today. I haven't heard that in a while and I loved the shit out of when I was 18

Speaking of terrible names, some band named "Red" was on Conan a few days ago. What a shitty name for a band. If bands can just pick a color and think that's good enough for a name than the music industry is dead.

Am I too late for this? No.
A few groups I have bought and listened to over the last couple of months. Thom Yorke Dong Chugger has validated 1.5 of these bands:
Mumford & Sons - I really like this album. Call me a sucker for whiney folkie music, but I like it. It's really good. Even my stepdad, who is a music snob of anything before 1990 (I'm just estimating the year), enjoyed them.
The Black Keys - I bought the Brothers album. It's really good. I like their feel. Tighten Up is a fun little song, along with Howlin' For You. I believe Apex say them recently (Forgive me if I'm remembering incorrectly). Anyone have any other album suggestions?
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - I believe I mentioned this previously, and I seem to believe Slaky gave kind of a lukewarm "meh" towards them. I'm too lazy to go back and look. I do have to say I enjoy the album. It sounds like it wasn't recorded in a studio that was expensive, and it seems to add to it for me. Gives it an "authentic" feel? I dunno.
Florence & The Machine - This group is really good. I don't typically like rock bands with chick lead singers, but I really enjoy this chick's voice. She can belt it. I would recommend this one, definitely.
Manchester Orchestra - This one I'm kind of lukewarm to. I like the I've Got Friends song but nothing else on this album seems to stand out to me.
Muse - Definitely my favorite right now. I bought the Black Holes & Revelations and the Resistance albums. Really interesting mixture of sounds they do. On Resistance they use a lot of orchestral instruments in much of it.
Neon Trees - This gave me about the same feeling as Manc. Orch. Maybe I need to listed a couple more times, but I'm mainly liking the Animals and 1983 songs.
Temper Trap - I just bought this last night and gave it a couple listen throughs this morning while work. Damn good. Very enjoyable album. The lead singer has a high voice and sounds like he's probably a pussy but it's pretty good. Drum Song is the final track and it is just what it says it is. It's a 3.25 minute track of mainly drums playing. I am kind of a fan of the drums. I love drum solos. The drum playing is one of my favorite things about Russian Circles.
Has anyone listened to Airborne Toxic Event's album with "Just a Little After Midnight". I really like that song, but a friend has given me kind of a crappy review of it. Just wondering what other's opinions were if they've heard it.
I'm sure some will think all of these suck, but there is a lot of music I listen to. I can go from Russian Circles to Toby Keith to Rammstein to Muse to The Kinks to Zac Brown Band to Carl Orff (Represent Nazis!). So my musical taste is just about anything usually.

A bunch of bands.
I'm with you on Mumford and Edward Sharpe and some Florence. I soured on Muse after
Absolution and never got into much of the Black Keys or Temper Trap.
[shameless self-promotion] I started a dumb little website this year with my favorites from 2010 that you can stream and/or download along with my liner notes (mostly written in a late-night, red wine-induced stupor - so there's that). I'm also updating it as I come across new things in 2011. It leans toward the poppier side of things with some electronic music dribs and drabs but it's free and might interest some of you - www.cdsplaylist.com (http://www.cdsplaylist.com) [/shameless self-promotion]
New Trail of Dead album is great, especially the 16 minute closer.

It's a good yay. But it reminded me of a band (not because they're that similar) with a singer named Beth. It's NOT the Gossip. I can't fucking remember the band for the life of me.

It's a good yay. But it reminded me of a band (not because they're that similar) with a singer named Beth. It's NOT the Gossip. I can't fucking remember the band for the life of me.
EDIT: I remember now. Forget Cassettes.
Gotcha. Julie Christmas is from Made Out of Babies and Battle of Mice. Two bands I also love.
I will check them out.

Yeah, thanks for the link Midget. Was not aware of Warpaint or Frightened Rabbit and am really enjoying those albums. Looking forward to working my way through these lists.
The first 3 Kinks albums are being released next weeks as 2-disc remaster sets with interviews.
Your music collection will be incomplete without them.

Once at a Kinks concert, they played several of their songs that had been covered, and Ray introduced them in about the manner you'd expect:
David Watts: "Here's a song that was covered by a band that dressed like us."
Stop Your Sobbing: "Here's a song that was covered by a band with my girlfriend."
You Really Got Me: "Here's a song that was covered by a band with tighter pants than us."

Quote from: Def B. LoudI think Eddie once stated in an interview, "that's a hot tune that we turned into a jet plane". Van Halen took it, strapped a huge pair of balls on it and served it up with a nasty, arrogant, unforgiving swagger....that's the very essence of rock, is it not? The Kinks version made you want to dance....Van Halen's version made You want to f@#k!!!!
"You Really Got Me" doesn't make me want to dance, it makes me want to punch a hole in a wall.
This is the song that
invented balls... it's
The Rock Song.

It's pretty difficult to top the original version of most songs. But Van Halen managed to do it here. Not that the Kinks version is all that tough to top, so it was actually probably pretty easy for EVH and the gang. The only other cover that's been done better was by -- you guessed it -- Van Halen yet again when they souped up and turned John Brim's "Ice Cream Man" right on its bluesy ear. Delicious.

Recently picked up the self-titled debut of Van Halen - the third song (You Really Got Me) is outstanding.
So much better than the original. I think it was written by the Beatles or something.
It's pretty difficult to top the original version of most songs. But Van Halen managed to do it here. Not that the Kinks version is all that tough to top, so it was actually probably pretty easy for EVH and the gang. The only other cover that's been done better was by -- you guessed it -- Van Halen yet again when they souped up and turned John Brim's "Ice Cream Man" right on its bluesy ear. Delicious.
Beauty's in the eye of the beholder.
Dave Davies never played an unnecessary note. EVH is the gold standard of guitar wankage.
Did you turn your meter off?
Nah, I just felt like piling on EVH. Fucking overrated wankster.
Can you go into more detail on your theories of "unnecessary notes"?
Haven't you ever heard a guy cram too much shit into a solo just as a "dig me" move? Easiest way to spot Berklee guys. Great typists aren't great writers.

Thanks for the heads up, Slak. BH is correct about the daytrotter recordings, and there's a lot of great stuff there beyond the Bon Iver session. He also put out some recordings exclusive to Myspace which I found on my local torrent site as "The Myspace Transmissions" that are quite excellent.
And then I'll just posting this here since nobody looks in the YouTube Finds thread: Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago - A Take Away Show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Swa9CYgRk)
And then open up the page of La Blogotheque (http://www.youtube.com/user/LaBlogotheque) for more goodness. I spent the better part of a weekend going through their takeaway show videos a while back.
So I saw "Art Brut" in Amsterdam last night. They were not quite what I was expecting, but they were fine. They were a little pretentious, actually, if I'm honest. The band that supported them - Buster Shuffle - were outstanding, though: if you drew a Venn diagram with Madness, The Streets and Chas & Dave as the three sets, these boys would be at the intersection. The lead singer/keyboard player is an absolute fucking star.
Mind you, I was slightly baked so I might have imagined the whole thing.
Also, I fell in love wth Freddy Feedback (the Art Brut bassist) a little bit. She's really not attractive at all in the conventional sense, but she has the most fantastic smile. Funny, I thought it was just me that noticed, but it wasn't - two other lads were talking about it as we left the (tiny) venue and there are several references to it on the internet. I could have watched her all night.
EDIT : Chas & Fave? Duh.

So I saw "Art Brut" in Amsterdam last night. They were not quite what I was expecting, but they were fine. They were a little pretentious, actually, if I'm honest. The band that supported them - Buster Shuffle - were outstanding, though: if you drew a Venn diagram with Madness, The Streets and Chas & Dave as the three sets, these boys would be at the intersection. The lead singer/keyboard player is an absolute fucking star.
Mind you, I was slightly baked so I might have imagined the whole thing.
Also, I fell in love wth Freddy Feedback (the Art Brut bassist) a little bit. She's really not attractive at all in the conventional sense, but she has the most fantastic smile. Funny, I thought it was just me that noticed, but it wasn't - two other lads were talking about it as we left the (tiny) venue and there are several references to it on the internet. I could have watched her all night.

The new Bon Iver record leaked. It's self-titled. The last song sounds like it's straight out of 1986.
It's great.
Wow, you weren't kidding. Sounds like a Bruce Hornsby ballad performed by a church band that had alternated ludes and coke over a three-night retreat/bender in Eagle River, WI.

Stumbled onto this. I'm stunned I had never heard them before. Sort of a low rent AC/DC. Guns 'n' Roses and Nashville Pussy both covered "Nice Boys."

Anyone else buy MMJ's new album? Amazon has it for $5. I think this will be one that has to grow on me, like evil urges did.
Seems like a lot of slower, simpler songs after first listen. Hard to capture the energy they have live on an album, I suppose.

The sound for Mars Volta wasn't great at all. In fact it was really bad. I think they would have been fantastic had the sound been good.
Soundgarden sounded fantastic. Though they were so goddamn loud my ears were ringing for 24 hours. In fact I think they're still a little fucked up. But it was easily one of the best shows I've ever seen. Cameron is a completely different drummer than he is with Pearl Jam and I mean that as the highest praise. Cornell hasn't lost a single thing in his voice and Thayil just rules. They played 23 songs and were heavy as hell. Played almost all old stuff. Only three songs from their last album. Tons of pre-Superunknown stuff.
I didn't get to hear two songs I really wanted them to play (Hands All Over, Loud Love) but couldn't have been more impressed. They're also working on a new album and will return to the road to support it.

They were one of my favorites, I lost interest after hearing Cornell's craptastic lyrics in Audioslave. He was always an incredible singer.
Hopefully he can find his songwriting days of yesteryear. I'm still holding out for a Temple of the Dog reunion. Or for cornell and jerry cantrell to get together like they did on Sap. That was magic stuff.

I saw AIC when they reformed and thought the new guy did a great job. They put out a really good album all things considered. I don't know if Soundgarden's new album will be good. If they continue in the trend before they split it would be pretty meh. If their live show is any indication though, they're probably going to go heavy which would be excellent.
If Pearl Jam, AIC and Soundgarden could do some kind of monster tour that would be incredible.
I don't know about everyone else, but this seems like enough motivation for me to go out and buy this.

Really cool all the footage on palladia with chicago in the backdrop.
Soundgarden criticism below, I'll start this by saying soundgarden was one of my favorite bands, just could live without a few things.
Every time I've seen them live, or even on this concert, Cornell's voice is often off key.
I wish he wasn't pushing as hard live to make it sound just like the studio, live he often can't pull it off.
I think he gets too much credit as being a great singer.
I've also always thought Kim Thayil was one of the most overindulgent soloists I've ever heard.
There is never a melody to his solos, he just plays as many notes as he can in a short period, then goes back to the song.
Also regarded as a great lead guitar player, I don't get it.
Agree on your Matt Cameron thoughts, the guy is ridiculous as a heavy band drummer.
One of the best drummers in a rock band of all time.
Anything he does in pearl jam is boring by comparison.

I think Cornell sounded great if you were at the show. Maybe on replay it doesn't sound as perfect. I think his performance on Slaves and Bulldozers is one of the best vocal performances to exist on record.
I totally agree with you on Cameron - his stint in Pearl Jam has made me think he's not that great because he's not Dave Abbruzzese. Yet he's completely different with Soundgarden and blew me away. Pearl Jam live is great but they sound older. Their songs have changed and their tempo has changed. Their old shows, by comparison, are some of the most energetic shows around. They're great in a different way. Soundgarden sounded like they did 25 years ago. They didn't water down the heavy stuff, not even a drop.
Not sure if anyone else here has listened to White Denim but they're pretty goddamn amazing, especially live.

For the sake of leaner prose, isn't "retarded Irish folk singers" something that could be simplified to "the Irish?"
Someone handed me a leak of M83's new album. It's not out yet but you can hear the song Midnight City anywhere you want. Spotify, for example. If you like their sound you'll love that song. It's even got a sax solo.
Album is called Hurry Up, We're Dreaming.

I just reread this.
For the record, Mark E. Smith is a complete drunken toothless asshole psychopath, who has gone through about 80 different band members in 30 years. Everything he ever says in an interview is arrogant, confrontational, and shitheaded.
To offset that, he probably farts out more interesting outtakes than Mumford and Sons bland out through effort.

Are you sure five isn't actually the number of fans a group gets when you starting hating them for being popular?
I was at a concert with thousands of people on Saturday so your logic is poo.
How was soundgarden? I've heard sound at the UIC sucks.
The sound for Mars Volta wasn't great at all. In fact it was really bad. I think they would have been fantastic had the sound been good.
Soundgarden sounded fantastic. Though they were so goddamn loud my ears were ringing for 24 hours. In fact I think they're still a little fucked up. But it was easily one of the best shows I've ever seen. Cameron is a completely different drummer than he is with Pearl Jam and I mean that as the highest praise. Cornell hasn't lost a single thing in his voice and Thayil just rules. They played 23 songs and were heavy as hell. Played almost all old stuff. Only three songs from their last album. Tons of pre-Superunknown stuff.
I didn't get to hear two songs I really wanted them to play (Hands All Over, Loud Love) but couldn't have been more impressed. They're also working on a new album and will return to the road to support it.
They were one of my favorites, I lost interest after hearing Cornell's craptastic lyrics in Audioslave. He was always an incredible singer.
Hopefully he can find his songwriting days of yesteryear. I'm still holding out for a Temple of the Dog reunion. Or for cornell and jerry cantrell to get together like they did on Sap. That was magic stuff.
I saw AIC when they reformed and thought the new guy did a great job. They put out a really good album all things considered. I don't know if Soundgarden's new album will be good. If they continue in the trend before they split it would be pretty meh. If their live show is any indication though, they're probably going to go heavy which would be excellent.
If Pearl Jam, AIC and Soundgarden could do some kind of monster tour that would be incredible.
Palladia is recently showing a full hour of Soundgarden playing at Lollapalooza. All the songs you'd expect are on it.
Really cool all the footage on palladia with chicago in the backdrop.
Soundgarden criticism below, I'll start this by saying soundgarden was one of my favorite bands, just could live without a few things.
Every time I've seen them live, or even on this concert, Cornell's voice is often off key.
I wish he wasn't pushing as hard live to make it sound just like the studio, live he often can't pull it off.
I think he gets too much credit as being a great singer.
I've also always thought Kim Thayil was one of the most overindulgent soloists I've ever heard.
There is never a melody to his solos, he just plays as many notes as he can in a short period, then goes back to the song.
Also regarded as a great lead guitar player, I don't get it.
Agree on your Matt Cameron thoughts, the guy is ridiculous as a heavy band drummer.
One of the best drummers in a rock band of all time.
Anything he does in pearl jam is boring by comparison.
I think Cornell sounded great if you were at the show. Maybe on replay it doesn't sound as perfect. I think his performance on Slaves and Bulldozers is one of the best vocal performances to exist on record.
I totally agree with you on Cameron - his stint in Pearl Jam has made me think he's not that great because he's not Dave Abbruzzese. Yet he's completely different with Soundgarden and blew me away. Pearl Jam live is great but they sound older. Their songs have changed and their tempo has changed. Their old shows, by comparison, are some of the most energetic shows around. They're great in a different way. Soundgarden sounded like they did 25 years ago. They didn't water down the heavy stuff, not even a drop.
Bump. Just picked up Cornell's acoustic live disc "Songbook", I think the acoustic format works great with his voice.. maybe without the band and with just a guitar he doesn't scream as much... highly recommend checking it out, for any soundgarden fans. Good stuff.
Avett Brothers.
"The Smile Sessions" - the 5-disk set (with a nice book, vinyl album & singles) might be a bit much for anyone who isn't a common ForkBort, but there's a 2-disc set as well.
Fuck Mike Love.

Minus the Bear and Lonely Forest are a couple indie groups. Good tunage. I can't say shit like "great mixture of keys" or "genius arrangements" or other musical shit, because that's beyond my scope of knowledge, but I like them both. They have a good sound, and are fun to listen to.
Minus has been around for quite a while apparently, and their last album made it to #49 on Billboard.
Petal, that's a bluegrass group. They're like the Radiohead of bluegrass (thats false, actually)

Fine. I laughed. But, it's only acceptable if The Black Keys show up and play El Camino in its entirety.

I bet there are a ton of great bands from South America that never see the light of day up here. They love rock and roll down there.
Alabama Shakes. Though I saw them on Best Buy's instore TV feed, so they might be more known than I assume (my assumption is none cause they don't get play in Dinglehick, IL)

I downloaded a bunch of south American psyche albums while drunk once, and I liked most of what I heard, but of course I can't find them now.

That's not bad at all. Bit early Blur-ry, bit MBV-ey, and there's something else in there that's very reminiscent of somebody else, too, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Pixies?

As was the case with the first Passion Pit record it was very grabby on the first couple of listens but quickly soured into annoying ear-worm status after that. I find that when an album is REALLY good on the very first listen it doesn't have much staying power.
Is this a similar deal?

Getting more and more into Two Cow Garage (http://www.twocowgarage.com/), their new album Speaking in Cursive is really good. Takes awhile to get used to his voice, but it's solid stuff. They are touring now with the Hold Steady. Similar to other bands I listen to a lot, Lucero, Drag the River, Glossary, Slobberbone.
I'm new to the Lucero crowd, however, I'm a fan of it thusfar

The fact that the new Mumford & Sons album solds fuckloads in the first week despite being simultaneously released on Spotify should put to bed any more silly notions of Spotify hurting sales instead of helping drive them. It's the new "heavy rotation".

Horrible Crowes cd is pretty decent, but I like Gaslight Anthem. It's essentially the lead singer and the guitar tech, playing less pop-punk, more tom waits light styled subdued songs..
Charles Bradley's album is really fucking cool. Listen up and you won't miss guys like James Carr and O.V. Wright quite as much.

One album definitely worth your time is the new Tame Impala.
Also, mix in some Bjork because why not.

Yeah, I've seen them twice. They are worth checking out.

New albums from Trail of Dead, Kendrick Lamar, and Pinback are probably worth your time.
One album definitely worth your time is the new Tame Impala.
Also, mix in some Bjork because why not.
Co-sign.

Now I'm excited. I was just listening to a bunch of old Pinback last night, but it had somehow totally slipped my mind that they were releasing a new album. Downloading that shit tonight.
(And maybe looking to see if these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Retrieved,_Pt._A) two (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Retrieved_Pt._B) vinyl-only limited edition EPs are available anywhere, too.)
FRIDAY!

I was hoping someone would do that. JWW always comes through.
New Circa Survive is great. I don't know if it's ok to say that but here we are.
Pinback's at the Metro a week from tomorrow. FYI. (http://event.etix.com/ticket/online/performanceSale.do?performance_id=1655225&cobrand=metrochicago&method=restoreToken)
It came out a few months ago, but I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend "The Kids Are Up To No Good" by Death By Unga Bunga.

I had heard the same thing. Also they're touring and the presale for their show here sold out in seconds.
I'm a few songs in and Soundgarden has impressed me so far. Non-State Actor particularly was pretty good.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIDInlJJFb0
Also the new Deftones (!!!) album is great.

The Riv (http://www.jamusa.com/ConcertDetails.aspx?LeftPanel=true&ConcertId=5171).
And, reading back, I see Slaky already mentioned this.

I hate the screaming singing stuff, but the melodies in this case far more than make up for it.
I can't wrap my head around how someone can plays drums that precise and fast, but I'm always amazed by good drummers.
Now back in the spotify world, who else are you liking for this year?
I've been listening to and have liked new albums from frightened rabbit, shellshag, the thermals, and the world is a beautiful place, who remind me of some stuff i liked in high school (knapsack, mineral, etc).
None of them are at all like deafheaven, but some quality stuff.

Pelican's new album Forever Becoming is solid.
Arliss Nancy is one of the better bands I've heard in the past few years.. a better version of Lucero.
Old Flings' Spite album is really good, especially the song Senseless.

Deafheaven is a bit of an outlier but I remember reading the story behind the album and that hooked me as much as the music. And yeah the drumming is absolutely show stopping. The album art adds a lot to it - it's completely atypical for what is essentially black metal.
Other stuff that *is* sort of in that Deafheaven family is band called Alcest. Check out this album (http://open.spotify.com/user/slaky1980/playlist/7b37hGkZpMZrANLtWxLLde) - it's ethereal metal and there's that screaming mixed with clean vocals but they're really part of the instrumentation as opposed to lyrics.
I would say CHVRCHES debut album is probably the second best album I've heard this year. i love them and I recognize how cheesy they are but it doesn't matter. Head over heels for their music.
The new Cut Copy is a real disappointment.
The new Russian Circles album is absolutely killer. And as you said, the new Pelican is pretty good - but Pelican's music just makes me want to listen to Russian Circles.
Frankie Rose, who was in Vivian Girls and Dum Dum Girls, put out a solo record that's great - it's a lot like Wild Nothing's dream pop.
The latest Yuck album had some strong moments. Touche Amore's new album is good throwback screamo hardcore stuff.
There's a Vancouver band called Weed that makes them very hard to google but they have an album on bandcamp that's an excellent throwback to 90s fuzz rock type stuff. You'd probably really enjoy it.
Pink Frost, local band, put out a really good album this year.
I recently got into a band called Whirr that does shoegaze really, really well - check out the Distressor EP - it's fucking excellent.
The Diarrhea Planet album is really enjoyable guitar rock.
Washed Out was a letdown.
Mark Kozelek put out a couple new albums that sound like slam poetry over a backing band - he's just spinnin yarns these days. It's nothing like Sun Kil Moon or Red House Painters. I wish he'd revive one of those projects and knock of the Spanish guitar shit.
Also I finally started getting into Swans and they are terrifying.

Apparently the new Phoenix and Sigur Ros sucked. (http://www.avclub.com/article/the-23-best-albums-of-2013-106233)
This was actually a pretty damn good year for music, though. What are your lists, Desipiots? Chvrches at #3 is a pretty good showing for a debut band, but there's an argument to move them even higher. I think the Naked and Famous deserve more love for In Rolling Waves than they're getting, too.
How could they tell whether the Sigur Ros album actually sucked? I've never been awake long enough to finish one.

I feel like people are listening to it, and feeling like it's really not good but they're afraid to admit how bad it is to each other.

I opened that list, skimmed down to see Yeezus at the top, and promptly closed it.
I feel like these people aren't listening to it and just assume it's good because they see every other music critics tongue-polishing Kanye's taint. Or maybe I just listened to a different Yeezus and it's actually not a flaming pile of garbage. But whatever I listened to certainly bore all the familiar hallmarks of a flaming pile of garbage.

Yeah, I was disappointed with that too. I watched the ridiculous Kim K Naked On a Bike video and thought, well, this song's nothing special. Which is exactly what I thought of the other songs I heard from it. Maybe I didn't listen to the life-changing ones.

Speaking of Rolling Stone, holy shit is this slideshow design terrible (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/50-best-albums-of-2013-20131202). No "view on one page" link? Fuck you too, Rolling Stone.
ETA: Any publication that thinks Miley Freaking Cyrus's album was better than Chvrches is really not worth paying attention to. Maybe this is why RS literally gives their magazine away for free, to me, every month, even though no one I've ever known has ever paid a dime for it. I've been a "subscriber" for three years now, and your guess is as good as mine.

Looking forward to seeing if any major outlets have the balls not to give Kanye the #1 spot
Very much this/time to post
Here is one (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/50-best-albums-of-2013-20131202/kanye-west-yeezus-19691231).
And look at number one. Goddamn you Rolling Stone. To hell.
What a fucking joke. It *is* a joke, right?
They also have a list of the 100 greatest singers ever (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-singers-of-all-time-19691231) in which Mariah Carey appears, and Steve Marriott doesn't.
And neither does Paul DiAnno.
Any list in slideshow format, or where you have to click on 50 right or left arrows to see the results is official.
I'm not sure how you all do it in Europe, probably with some fancy list or whatnot, but this is as good as it gets.

Here is one (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/50-best-albums-of-2013-20131202/kanye-west-yeezus-19691231).
And look at number one. Goddamn you Rolling Stone. To hell.
What a fucking joke. It *is* a joke, right?
They also have a list of the 100 greatest singers ever (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-singers-of-all-time-19691231) in which Mariah Carey appears, and Steve Marriott doesn't.
And neither does Paul DiAnno.
Any list in slideshow format, or where you have to click on 50 right or left arrows to see the results is official.
I'm not sure how you all do it in Europe, probably with some fancy list or whatnot, but this is as good as it gets.
Tonk reads Q, where every ranking is Beatles/Oasis/Morrissey.
Intrepid Reader: Morph
Who?
Can we talk about inexplicably huge bands in England that headline all their crappy festivals and play their tuneless pop garbage to what seems like 100,000 flag-waving EDL skinheads every goddamn year?
A shortlist of bands that seem to fit this description:
Kasabian
Biffy Clyro
The Libertines
We Are Scientists
Franz Ferdinand
Kaiser Chiefs
Arctic Monkeys
I could go on - maybe you'll help.
I hate these bands.
Holy shit, have you seen any of the Kasabian documentary? What a bunch of turdbaskets.
I mean, why the hell would I watch that
How could you not? It's fucking Kasabian, man!
It's like watching Honey Boo Boo, only with a band.
Somewhere in the Greater Europe Metro Area, a Tonker sobs into his Foster's while reading this thread to the strains of "Squeeze's Greatest Hits".

Nope. On Morph's advice, I've started listening to Jools Holland's solo stuff instead.

His big band albums are a blast.
I like a lot of Suede, and about half of the Manic Street Preachers catalogs. I'll go sit on the corner.

Update: Pitchfork just put out readers poll results for Best Album, Most Overrated Album, and Most Underrated Album -- but we're still looking for an outlet to not give Kanye the #1 spot because he's atop all three.

Ha are you serious. I've seen them a bunch of times and evangelized their first two albums to most people. Their last two have been weak comparatively speaking but I have their tour posters framed on my walls and shit. I am a big fan.
Their drummer is very attractive.
Their first two albums are mostly like this song in that you basically feel like you're holed up in a Vietnamese jungle with a handful of hallucinogenics and a grease painted face waiting for Charlie to skin you alive.

I heard the "Young Dead Men" track at the end of "True Detective" and decided to check them out. I really like The Doors and Led Zep so I was into them from the start. I bought their first album today and just listened to all of it. That's as far as I've gotten. They remind me of stuff some of the cooler white kids in Buttpuddle would listen to while we drove around in the country getting zooted out of our gourds. They put me on to some stuff. I figured these guys were already everywhere if I knew about them. Like, dude, have you ever heard of "Moss Deff?"
But what if I prefer rock music that sounds like somebody took a box of knives and shook them up inside my skull?

I bought another Black Angels album and then I read that they were influenced by 13th Floor Elevators so I bought their best of compilation. Now I no longer have a face. They done rocked it plumb the fuck off. So I also heard Black Angels draw heavily from Velvet Underground, which always sounded like some loud ass, stinky band Bort would think is cool and buy t-shirts about. But maybe not. Where should I start with them? Any of you guys know?

I've long been partial to the Velvet's post–John Cale self-titled album, but I bet the hipster consensus is "White Light/White Heat".

WL/WH is a good one.
Loaded is a good place to start, maybe? VU and Nico probably also an easy one to pick.

That's actually my favorite too. I think White Light is a bit overrated, TBH. I think my order of original releases would be s/t > ...and Nico > WL/WH > Loaded. The title track is legit, though.
EDIT: I totally left out VU and that other rarities comp, because I have that box set they released in the 90s, so all the tracks are spread out, so I forget what's on which, though I know some of my favorite songs are.
If you really did enjoy the 13th Floor Elevators, maybe check out Roky Erickson's solo stuff too.

Will do. Thanks for the info on VU too. I'll just sample a bit of all. I know that rock bands tend to vary greatly from year to year, album to album. I know what I'm doing with rap when it comes to knowing when a group started to suck starfish. With rock I'm like a child who wanders into a movie...

Pick up some Moby Grape too. Not that they have anything to do with any of this other stuff, but Moby Grape was fucking awesome.

He came out with a new album last year that you should give a listen to if you like queer folk/bluegrass shit.
California X kicks ass if you like rock music. Lydia Loveless is a great country singer who writes great country songs. Superchunk's newest album is really solid.
the new hold steady record is outstanding and this is coming from someone who wouldn't say they're intimate with their catalog at all.
Word is it's a return to form - apparently their recent output has been less than satisfactory.
Not sure if my lack of knowledge around their discography hurts or helps my take but listen to this. Super enjoyable.

I'd mostly agree with that, but would probably stop short of calling it outstanding. I loved "Boys and Girls in America" -- probably one of my favorite albums from 2006.
"Stay Positive" and "Heaven is Whenever" while both listenable were fairly forgettable.
I'd say their new record is pretty solid. Somewhere between those last two and "Boys and Girls."

Their new album sounds like the Hold Steady, but is terribly forgettable. Just like their last album. If you're just listening to them, I understand the appeal, it's a great sound, but after a few albums of it, it all starts to run together.

Goddamn these guys are great. This one's not guitar oriented, which was concerning when I first heard that - but this is excellent. What an excellent band.
So, Bort, how much do you hate Hozier?
Banner Pilot is good, they sound similar to Jawbox. The Menzingers are great as well. If you like rock/punk style music.

I think this is an ok thread to say that I argued with both my sisters today that Kings of Leon suck, even though I don't know any of their music. They tried using some sort of logic which led me to say that I'm glad their drummer broke his leg.
I don't know why but I felt good about that.

Talked about this a lot recently but the newest TV on the Radio album is incredible. Return to form, if you will.
I know he's been talked about in the shoutbox, but doesn't appear to be here. If you like old-school country, Sturgill Simpson is teh balls
If you like funk or Steely Dan or music you'll probably enjoy Vulfpeck.
Here's a YouTube link to their album Fugue State. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tsdb5Wp4fg) It's honestly one of, if not the, best things I've heard this year.
The new Desaparecidos album is crazy good. I don't really like Conor Oberst (ok, I think Bright Eyes is unlistenable) but this is a straight ahead fun rock album that if you like anything toe-tapping, steering-wheel slapping, and loud you'll really like this.

Here's a YouTube link to their album Fugue State. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tsdb5Wp4fg) It's honestly one of, if not the, best things I've heard this year.
I really like that. I think I'm just going to let you choose all the music I listen to from now on.
Ok. Listen to this. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G76MAy16BF0)
Hmm... your first time as my official music supplier and you've dropped the ball a little bit. That's verging on R&B, and I prefer my funk a little more funkeh (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdyDHNxnP9I). It's okay, I'm not giving up you yet, but you need to tweak your algorithm.

Kind of reminds me of Lake Street Dive.
I'm really enjoying Leon Bridges these days. Between his album and Dina Regine's album last year, it's nice to see the Muscle Shoals sound still being recreated.

New Drive By Truckers is $3.99 on amazon right now. Wish I could say it was worth much more, but it's not.
The song on the radio is the best song by far. They are still letting the girl sing, and she sounds worse on this album.
I used to love this band, not I'm pretty meh about their efforts. They should have never kicked Jason Isbell out of the band.
The new Jason Isbell is really good.
The new CHVRCHES track is great. I like them.

TPD. Just bought tix for the Treasure Island Music Festival, mostly for Chvrches, but any commentary on the rest of the lineup as far as the best stuff to listen to would be appreciated. Toro y Moi has been on past year's lineups but not this year's, which is disappointing, and ditto M83, but still a whole lot of quality here.

I did dig the Bad Religion Christmas album more than I ever expected to.
Thanks to Apple Music, I have been listening to Iron & Wine, whose epic song "The Trapeze Swinger" has become my most-listened-to song in the last few months. It gets me right in the feels.

The new Bowie album is shite.
I had the chance to recently listen to Supertramp for the first time. I really like their music. They've got this song, "Give a Little Bit," that everyone should hear at least once.
A few weeks ago, I finally started listening to Count Basie. He's got a song, "One O'Clock Jump," that I can't get out of my head. Really memorable tune.

Jeff Beck rarely wears sleeves.
The Shelters is pretty cool, despite being produced by Tom Petty.
I've been loving the new Tweed Funk.
Don't even care that it's basically recycled Tower of Power.
Also, since this thread has basically become notes I make to myself, the "Americana" album that Ray Davies made with the Jayhawks is OK. I've given up hope on him and Dave everr getting back in the studio to see if they can still rock.
I'm sure they are no surprise to anyone here, but I'm really into the Decemberists. I'd listened to them in the past, and thought that Colin Meloy was accomplished, but it wasn't until their most recent album ("What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World") that they really struck a chord with me. Particularly the song 12-17-12 feels pretty much like it was written for me. If you're a parent, you'll probably agree.
Hot damn is "Los Ageless" by St. Vincent a great song.
