QUOTE(xcdudesquadloves91!!! @ Jan 10 2012, 05:07 PM)  Wait, Im in a public place so cant watch, but is that going to be a new Movits! album? If so WOOOO, if not, good choice. It's from their 2011 album which is on Spotify if you were not familiar with that one yet. -------------------- |

I've had In Rainbows going in my car (though I dont drive much) on my iPod for 3 weeks without changing it. Record has been out for nearly 5 years. I knew it inside and out before this current obsession. This means two things: This album has become one of my favorites of all time and I'm too lazy to reach into my center console to change it.
I do in fact believe a record should be out for at least 5 years before you can declare it an all-timer. Congrats, In Rainbows..you were first ballot. |

I recently determined that In the Reins qualifies for me, for this exact reason. Boxer and High Violet might get Gretzky and Messier exceptions, though. Meanwhile, why have none of you told me about Sleigh Bells? -------------------- Y'all laying up, doing shit.

For all you Several Shades of Why fans, Thurston Moore's 2011 release Demolished Thoughts is definitely worth a listen. A little softer and a lot more strings than Mascis, but still really damn good.

Wow. I cannot stop listening to this album:
It's on Spotify for anyone interested in checking it out. I loved it the first time through and it gets better with each listen. -------------------- |

Thanks, Chris4 has also recommended them in the past, and that has now prompted me to queue them up. Of Monsters and Men is now finally on Spotify too , so I'm glad I can finally listen. You know that I am way too much of an IP goody-two-shoes to ever listen to a bootlegged copy.
Has anything come out this year yet worth listening to? By this time last year we were all already gushing over The King is Dead. -------------------- Y'all laying up, doing shit. Nahmean, playing whatever little volleyballs they got on the beach and doing everything, the activities.

Also, Lana Del Rey in in 17 days. Don't care if her SNL performance is terrible. EDIT: Wow forgot to say PM me if you want a link to it. Idiot me. This post has been edited by xcdudesquadloves91!!!: Jan 17 2012, 07:29 PM -------------------- Wade Redden is my hero, and shall be revered forever.

Usually they aren't so bad that NBC anchors email Gawker privately to say how terrible someone was.

Look, I'm not going to say she didn't suck. She did. It was 2 songs on SNL though and the singles she has out are really good in my opinion. If you want to troll her that's fine. Go right ahead. I'm just excited for her album, if youre not cool. EDIT: Let me clarify one thing though about the SNL comment. I don't watch it that much unless its an artist I really like. They play 2 songs, usually in a cramped space and I never expect much out of them. The last SNL performance I saw was Coldplay and it was horrible, but it was still cool seeing them. So I guess my comment was a little shortsighted. This post has been edited by xcdudesquadloves91!!!: Jan 18 2012, 06:18 PM -------------------- Wade Redden is my hero, and shall be revered forever.

For everyone who is enjoy We Are Augustines, I cannot recommend Billy McCarthy's previous band, Pela, highly enough. Their album, Anytown Graffiti is one of my all time favorite albums. Unfortunately, it's not available on Spotify and there are no good samples on YouTube but you can get it on Amazon.

Been on a little bit of a Britpop kick lately, probably because of the news that a few of those bands are doing reunion tours, most notably Pulp and Stone Roses. My sis and I just got tix to see Pulp at Radio City in April, pretty psyched.
Also, The Mountain Goats posted that they were playing in Tampa tonight, which made me think of this: and IIIIIIIIIIII will love you again I will love you like I used toooo -------------------- Y'all laying up, doing shit.

QUOTE(Mike B. @ Jan 17 2012, 03:43 PM) Has anything come out this year yet worth listening to? By this time last year we were all already gushing over The King is Dead. The new Cloud Nothings album, Attack on Memory, is worth listening to. It's not great and it likely won't crack my top twenty but it's got some standout tracks and people with a higher tolerance for heavy lo-fi noodling may like it more than me. <Puts on pimp hat> Full review on my blog! http://rightbug.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/c...tack-on-memory/ I didn't see nearly enough movies last year so I've decided to do 52 Movies in 52 Weeks this year. I polished off my old 52 Books in 52 weeks blog to review the movies and decided to do 52 albums as well. For 52 Albums effort, it will be 52 albums released in 2012. http://rightbug.wordpress.com/ I'm probably not doing 52 Books this year but I am re-posting my Goodreads reviews to the blog as well just to keep with the pop-culture theme. </takes pimp hat off> -------------------- |

Is anyone else trying to get Bruce Springsteen tickets right now? I have two windows running in TM, each is saying a 15 minute wait minimum to get through. I'm not optimistic.
EDIT: d'oh. Turns out they're too smart for that. I got kicked off on my earliest attempt for having multiple windows trying at the same time. So much for that I guess.

Is Spotify Premium worth it that much? My 2 week travel period is over, and since Germany isn't one of the countries on Spotify's list I'm going to need to go premium to continue using it...
10 bucks a month is kind of steep, but if its worth it I may jump on board. -------------------- Wade Redden is my hero, and shall be revered forever.

I don't have a smart phone (shocker, I know), so I don't use their mobile services, but the $5 a month for the ad-free version is beyond worth it. Then again, I'm like a rich lawyer and shit.
Also, how and why did I wait this long to give Wild Flag a spin? -------------------- Y'all laying up, doing shit. Nahmean, playing whatever little volleyballs they got on the beach and doing everything, the activities.

Music overload. Glad you finally got to them. They are in Germany next week, but too far away and on a week day. Sadface. Carrie Brownstein can do no wrong. Also, Lana Del Rey Tomorrow! It's going to be such an overproduced hot mess, I'm excited. -------------------- Wade Redden is my hero, and shall be revered forever.

The new Guided By Voices is everything you would expect from a GBV album -- Way too many songs but the high lights rank right up there with the best songs in their catalog.
This is the first album with the "classic" lineup since 1996. -------------------- |

QUOTE(Kusand @ Jan 31 2012, 01:39 PM) I was going to review this album on my blog this week but it's like mental mercury. I like it well enough while I'm listening to it but it just slips away the second I turn it off. I reviewed the GBV album instead and may revisit Nada Surf for next week. Edit: Ah -- That's off an older album. The new one is up on Spotify. This post has been edited by rightbug: Jan 31 2012, 01:45 PM -------------------- |

I'm seeing them this Thursday and for the love of god, hope they don't play that song. Their new album is snot bad. Not their best by a long shot but sticking to their guns and their familiar sound which I've always liked. It will appeal to existing fans but probably won't win them many new ones.

"That album was an amelodic Cleveland Steamer, which I know some of you here have a fetish for."
