They are from NYC, and I'm not sure where that "European" comment is coming from. They sound like My Bloody Valentine much more than anything else.

Spike Jone and his city slickers. Some of his murders and other famous works. Both fantastaticabulous and hillaricarious at the same time.

Also I got Tom Waits' Orphans. Grawl!

Ghostface Killah's new album, More Fish. Only 9 months ago he released his previous album, Fish Scale. Good stuff.

I've been listening to the sampler for ARC's Drain. ARC is, for those unaware, Lowtax of Something Awful fame.

I just got an ipod (yay!) so i've been hard core listening to music again. Back when my laptop was the village bicycle a bunch of people loaded tons of cds onto my computer, many of which i have never heard of before but they're now all on there. makes for some interesting discoveries... unfortunately most of it is like harsh noise music which isn't the best for mild bus riding and studying.

but i discovered the other day this album called "I am the Cosmos" by chris bell and it is incredible! Today i looked him up, I guess he was friends with Alex Chilton and in Big Star for awhile. I am the Cosmos is his only solo album and a year after it was recorded he died in a car accident? It's really really good though, I don't really know how to describe it but it is not that complicated. Paul McCartney-esque song writing but played in a way that is just... awesome. I guess it was recorded in '77 but not released until the mid 90's. Listening to it I couldn't even tell what era it was from--it sounds either ahead of its time, or one of those bands that does a throwback to older styles without sounding completely lame.

But really anyone that likes guitars and drums and stuff should listen to it!

Also: Does anyone know a lot about Ghost (japanese band)? I've been wanting to listen to them more but I don't really know where to begin. I'm not really interested in their more ambient-y experimental-y stuff...when I saw them play a couple years ago they were playing real cool rock 'n' roll but then I saw a live dvd that was mostly like, clanging bells in temples and stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

[chompers po pable]

been listening to Iron & Wine. mostly Woman King, The Sea and the Rhythm (their ep), and The Creek Drank the Cradle. Great stuff.

Toups, if you haven't heard Iron & Wine, you should give them a listen. (since you like Sufjan, and folk music in general, i think you'd dig them).

i downloaded a couple of tracks from Woman King and Creek respectively:

Evening On the Ground (Lilith's Song): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0A4L9RPF

Weary Memory: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IEU3Z0BS

[chompers po pable]

and when i say Sufjan, i'm referring to Seven Swans, more or less. and Seven Swans is folk in my book.

and for the hell of it, i've uploaded one of my favorite Joan of Arc songs:

ne mosquitos pass: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GQ8YET80

i can almost guarantee dhex wouldn't like Joan of Arc on a philosophical levels. dhex, you're so serious ;_;

Amon Tobin's "The Foley Room" leaked a day or two or three ago.

It sounds like brain damage! I like it so far.

[Swimmy]

I got an iPod for Christmas. Nano, 1 gig, which is all I need. I have trouble deciding what to put on it. Honestly I'll only use it while walking to class and running (and even then rarely, since I run with my roommates). Fast, fun music is a good running motivator. I'm thinking it'll be a good opportunity to give all those 6-song EPs a good listen, as I always feel guilty wasting an entire CD for those to go in my car. None More Black's Loud About Loathing is go. It's probably their best album, too. Figures.

Cold War Kids - Robbers and Cowards

Saw these guys on Letterman one night, and their slightly odd live performance made me knab their album. The singers voice isn't that good, but that sorta makes it good. Plus the lyrics are sing-a-longable, and have an old timey feel. The music itself is like White Stripes, if it were deciding on being more of a band rather than a two piece I guess. Plus one of the guitarists was wearing a puffy shirt and had a very large guitar on Letterman.

Tonight, I've been spinning !!!'s newest, Myth Takes, which is quite funky, and a few Fantastic Plastic Machine albums. I really should thank Smartblue for turning me onto Fantastic Plastic Machine. They are quite lovely.

[Zebadayus]

I am listening to a fantastic cover of War Pigs by CAKE.

[rabite gets whacked!]

Guys I'm listening to the Current 93/Om split.

Guys David Tibet just namedropped Reese Witherspoon in Just Like Heaven, y'know that Terry Schiavo romantic comedy?

Guys I don't know what to do over here.

[Focus]

[Focus]

Also: A bunch of Deerhoof. I don't know why, either!

Deerhoof is pretty keen.

Also, I just got The Flaming Lips' "The Soft Bulletin".

Wow, everybody was right. It IS a lot better than Yoshimi! I still like Yoshimi, though.


Also guys, I've pretty much decided that Warren Zevon's "Life'll Kill Ya" is the best album ever recorded. I've had it for quite some time, but it just now sank in.

Envelopes - Demon



Very good modern indie pop rock band from Europe. Very much like your Decemberists and others, but with accents and maybe a good dose of late 80's pop rock here and there. Also, when I saw them open for Ratatat they played the NES version of the Final Fantasy theme as their warm up music. I know you guys love Final Fantasy, so check em' out!

You can listen to the whole album on their website: http://www.envelopes.se/audiovisual/

Rammstein's new-ish live album Voelkerball has been getting a lot of playtime lately, as I finally found a torrent that didn't require a password to un-RAR.

I have pretty bad taste in music okay, Rammstein is probably my favourite band.

[boojiboy7]

hey rammstein is fun shit.

[SplashBeats]

This new Black Devil Disco Club release is something interesting.

[Wall of Beef]

[SplashBeats]

Nah, man, here's the thing, I'll listen to anything if it's interesting, even if I don't like it!

This album, though, is quite interesting, and I find it pretty funky. It's got this dark, foreboding shit going down that a man can dig on.

It's music you'd fuck a married woman to after going through an eight-ball. I can dig it.

[sync-swim]

[Dracko]

Nine Inch Nails' [With_Teeth] mashed up with Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd, themselves by three, Gorillaz, the Stooges, Kool and the Gang, David Bowie, Lee Hazlewood, Joy Division and the Fight Club soundtrack.

It's laughable.

It's awesome.

Be sure to check out the rest of the guy's site. There are some pretty fun mash-ups to be found.

In other NIN related news: We may see an album before 2010.

Uncle Tupelo's "Graveyard Shift" on repeat!!
