Totally dig the Coral - love those guys.

I think it was Cliff who said it best a few years ago - and I'm paraphrasing - Coldplay write music for PBS documentaries.

You disappoint me sometimes I'm still soul crushed and you've already moved from britpop to jpop. I'm deeply saddened.

FUCK BEIGE!

FINE! Now I'll have to do a thread bomb of Oasis to prove I'm not over them!*

Besides, it's not an official break-up and I'm trying to remain hopeful and optimistic that this is a temporary setback and will blow over in a year or two. Or three or four.

I was reminded in an e-mail last night of Puffy AmiYumi and I looked them up and found they were in Paris this year for a Japanese festival, or convention or something. A little J-pop never hurt. I can haz a happee?



*Fortunately for you Oasis-haters, I'm at work and can't actually do this.

Coldplay?

Some really soulful and melodic jams played everywhere, all of the time, until you want to puke. And then album after album of nothing more then the same old drizzle. Drool comes out the corner of the mouth and the brain fails to process anything.

When lucidity returns you thank Coldplay for siphoning out some brain cells and lowering your ability to comprehend.

I can't help thinking that they've done this so many times before that this is acutally the real one. I know I'm not prepared for this shit either. FUCK YOU OASIS WHEN YOU ARE PISSED AT EACH OTHER GET THE FUCK ALONG.

Searching for Stones videos last night made me realize that we don't appreciate The White Stripes enough:

Only people who hate drumming appreciate the White Stripes.

Well, that and freedom.

Leave Meg alone! She's an integral part of the band!

Not at work anymore.

OASIS BOMB!













Whatcha think about that, xcdude?

You missed:



And best song eva:



Oh and this classic:

Nah, I prefer the US version. Besides, I posted it on the previous page. Doesn't hurt to repeat it.



And then there's the song that Liam just doesn't get.



Caught this today at Huffington Post.

Has someone done a meta-version of this yet? "Hitler's reaction to the Hitler's Reaction Meme," or something like that?

No. Most of them are pretty lame, actually. No one's been that clever enough to think of that yet. Eh, Sed? Sed?

Is it bad that I didnt' know that Tom Sawyer was a Rush song?

nevermind

I lack the technical knowhow to make this happen.

Considering how long you've been hanging around here? Yes.

RAZORLIGHT



I'm reallying loving this song. But I'm not sure about the band yet. They have a lot of...love songs, it seems. Ewwww. Don't know if I can handle too much of that.

What you say about his company is what you say about society.

Nailed it!

Well done, sirrah. Well done.

I heard "Slam" by Onyx the other day...there were some pretty awesome one-hit wonders in the rap genre right around that time. "All For One"/Brand Nubian is definitely in that category.

I've been streaming WFUV at work all day, and it's been non-stop Beatles, group and each one solo, and covers, all day. (Just heard Ben Folds doing "Golden Slumber.") Their songs are so ubiquitous, and I thought I was familiar enough with the catalog. But I've really gained an entirely different appreciation of them listening again as an adult.

You called?

Oooo. Thank you.

Not a huge fan of Fleet Foxes - but this song gets in my head for days at a time. Love this.

Probably my fav from the Foxes. Great tune.

Listening to more British rock...my coworker just advised me that it's a little risque video so yeah, potential NSFW.

In a Stone Roses kind of mood today.

Heard this while shopping, which I hadn't heard in forever:



I was shopping for sweatpants at the time.

As a bonus fun Friday party trick, if you hold a small mirror and cover the right side of the face, it appears to be Charles Manson.

Gotta love the Cars:

I just got The Cars 2-Disc Anthology. All of the released stuff plus b-sides and unreleased tracks. Excellent and I'm only a casual fan

Great Northern's new album Remind Me Where The Light Is.



If you like that song you'll like this album. I'm totally addicted to it right now. It has kind of a 90's vibe to it, in a good way.

Here's an accoustic version of another great song off that album:

I've heard this song every day now on Alt Nation and it's grown on me. The Sounds, from Sweden. Like The Killers crossed with Missing Persons, good throwback New Wave tune.



Some might know them from their previous hit in the Geico commercial.

Which is a direct ripoff of Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me."

Been getting back into The Art of Noise lately - working on replacing my cassettes.

Frightened Rabbit...seeing these guys tonite along with The Twilight Sad and We Were Promised Jetpacks. Can't wait.

No one sleeps when I'm awake? Sounds like the motto of most of my floormates in college.

I am really liking We Were Promised Jetpacks myself. There is a decent amount of really good Scottish bands: WWPJ, Camera Obscura, Frightened Rabbit, and of course the all powerful Belle & Sebastian.

Nice -- That must've been a great show. Fightened Rabbit's new album is really good. One of my favorites of the year. It has kind of a Spoon vibe to it. (Which I suppose makes sense as Brit Daniels produced.)

I'm drunk,...tooo drunk to find the drunk thread. We were promised jetpacks, best band tonite IMO. I paid $15...worth it just for them. Anymore than $20....meh. They were cool, down to earth and fun. Chatted with them afterwards in the crowd. Humble, thankful guys. My only complaint was they didn't play Moving Clocks. Twilight Sad, if you like their music, they sounded good but wow, pompous, cheeky mofos. absolutlely no stage presense and the singer would just stare into the crowd as if expected everyone to fellatiate him. Frightened rabbit sounded good but couldn't understand the singer at all.

Rufus, check em out when they're in town.

I should mention that I was also confusing Frightened Rabbit for White Rabbit. White Rabbit's new album is, confusingly, titled It's Frightening. That's the one I've been digging this year.

I'm a sucker for cute Asian female musicians...
