Nothing new stands out to me, the Decemberist album is ok but thats the problem everything just seems ok, any more recomendations SR?
I still say Red Monroe, glad to see they've been on the list this long!!! Do you have their new one? Check it, hasn't left my disc changer (yes, I still have actual CDs, the IPod hasn't won me yet). I say Architecture in Helsinki SHOULD be on the list or at least on someone's radar, though their album doesn't do their live act justice. I am tired of Badly Drawn Boy, I feel like I'm in High School again just typing the name. I wish no ill, I just wish some other major players would emerge. Am I lame cuz I don't recognize Shiny Toy Guns? Should I?
Squarepusher is really good if you like minimal German techno stuff... I also really like the new Califone. I think its the best one yet.
Do Architect have a new one? I have their last two albums from the past few years but didn't know they released an album lately.
Ahh yes forgot about the new Squarepusher! Will check it out.
you're right, last album was In Case We Die about 1 year ago, but I heard some new stuff when I saw them live recently, so I figured they'd released a new one or were a bout to.... something's brewing with them... opening for Clap Your Hands all over recently! Speaking of brewing, I can't wait for Bjork's new hip-hop album with Timbaland!
I don't like that Decemberists at all... to proggy, too overwrought... they bore me now. Haven't checked the Califone out yet, but I will be soon... a friend recommended it to me as well.
I have been liking that Beach House quite a bit, Grizzly Bear, 120 Days, Fujiya & Miyagi, and Tussle. A few other things I sampled recently that I liked at early first glimpse is Christopher Willits and Clark.
May have to check out the Squarepusher... but I never much liked the drill and bass stuff he did.
Crap! I was going to the Decemberists tomorrow at Gypsy---should I not? Will I be bored? Tired of whiny indie boys. Need something rockin' and innovative. Suggestions? Who's going to be in town soon who fits that bill?
I wouldn't say not to go to the Decemberists show. If you like the band then go. I haven't seen them yet myself.
I'm more intrigued about tonite's Broken Social Scene show. This is probably the last time you will see them as a 17 member band, maybe the last time ever if you believe the rumors. Looks like everyone will be present except Feist. I would like to go but I saw them twice last year aorund this time so I may skip it. When I saw them in minneapolis, it was one of the best shows I have ever seen.
Red Monroe is on the Grammy nomination ballot - along with John Dufilho:
