Discuss the Musics Thread

Totally digging on Chris Isaak at the moment, thx to that sexy video. My one regret is that I am not driving down the desert on a warm summer dusk.

Spoon's first album, Telephono, is great driving music. Give that a go.

Putting James Blackshaw into Pandora and having it create a playlist of similar artists is pretty much the most tranquil thing that's happened to me all week.

[MadMan]

There are only a couple of albums that just totally resonate in my gut as soundly as Funeral does. It's a deep-down, maybe orgasmic, experience that I can't do justice in words, but I'm just saying it's probably better than Neon Bible

Don't get me wrong: Funeral is one of my favorite CDs that I've listened to this year. But I think Neon Bible just simply digs down further and is more richer.

He's always been one of my favorite artists. Heart-Shaped World gets constant play from me. Has since high school.

Not fair, Davis is OP.

OP? Original Poster? Over-Priced? Oven-Proof?

[MadMan]

You know, I like music videos. I really do. But after falling behind early in voting, I probably won't participate in the Battle of the Music Videos. Blame it on the fact that at times my laptop fails to buffer YouTube fast enough, I guess.

Obviously Perfect? Objectively Peripatetic?

I love that your trend toward not being invested enough to do sometime continues on in this avenue, amigo. Rep for your laziness, which makes me smile.

The overstuffed Pavement reissues are collectively the best thing that has ever happened to me, musically. Terror Twilight in '10, man

The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love

After 10 songs I want to throw this disc out the car window and run over it.

Music is OK, but the concept/narrative/lyrics sound as amateurish as "The Night Man" from Always Sunny. That's seriously what it reminds me of.

Want my money back.

My dad does this all the time. He has long road trips for work, and he'll buy a CD along the way, and if he doesn't like it he just rolls down his window and sends it sailing. It's hilarious to see in person, because he's not even mad, and gives absolutely no warning. He'll just hit eject, take the CD out, roll down his window and chuck it out, then roll the window back up and put in a different disc.

I can't believe you find pollution amusing.

You sicken me.

I thought Dylan and that other kid (Lennon?) were more important.

Lennon was a low blow. You and I are finished.

It's too late for that now. Your sweet nothings have no effect.

Any of you guys ever hear of Julian Casablancas?

Damn, can this kid whip out a great little pop song.

eg. 11th Dimension.

EDIT: Oh! He's in The Strokes! Well, learn something new every day!

[Kurosawa Fan]

Yeah, his new album is ridiculously addictive.

Why thank you good sir. Sometimes I aim to please. And sometimes not at all! That requires effort too

I really like The Strokes. Its about damn time I listened to one of their albums. Oh and after hearing both of their albums, The Raconteurs are kind of awesome. While not a great band, they have this sort of touch and sound that I highly enjoy. Maybe its also because Jack White rules.

So far, Wilco's 2009 self titled effort is quite solid, and way too damn short. I'll have to give it another listen, but so far I feel like they could have fleshed out the whole thing a bit more.

[Milky Joe]

Arcade Fire's Neon Bible is fantastic, and better than Funeral.

I agree. It's totally cathartic in a way that makes Funeral seem like an abstraction.

[ledfloyd]

my favorite, and least favorite, stuff from 2009

yep. it's great to have such definitive editions from the greatest band of the 90s. i will rest easy when all 5 are sitting side by side on my shelf.
