Zero points for talking about bands!

RJD2 and Bonobo are both great. Please start a thread about DJs/Producers and mention them, because I will join in!

Black Eyed Peas
Primus
KMFDM (knew them before, didn't fully appreciate really till last summer... didn't think were godly until I saw them live)
Modest Mouse

TOOL and KMFDM? So late? Wow... I remember listening to KMFDM in Grade 9. And Tool... loooooooved them since around then too. Apparently KMFDM is now called MDFMK and have a Female Lead Vocalist.

Nope, they're KMFDM again. I saw them at Sonar last year (or was it this year?)

Oh man, all this stuff changin' so fast. Like apparently Blink 182 is no more too. (Not that anyone cares, but just a random thing)

They released Attak under KMFDM three years ago. ;)

Got around to listening to Bloc Party.. it's energetic and such but I don't see the craft and uniqueness that made some of my other bands such an obsession. Every song is jangly guitars, scorching drum beats and passionately yelped vocals. That's a good thing in some ways but the M.O. gets repetitive.

Some of it's growing on me though, my review may get revised.

Btw, a name that hasn't been dropped yet (I don't think) is the New Pornographers. Their buzz time predates a lot of these other entries, but my obsession with them was right up there.. all they did was released two of the best power pop albums in Canadian music history.....

EDIT: Fuck! My post doesn't count, someone already mentioned them.

Still good though.

Now I have to go and find some other band to suggest...

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

[Grapes]

Max in the houuuuse!

For any of you that like to support the bands you listen to if you like them enough.... the Kaiser Chiefs album 'Employment' is only $7.99 at Future Shop right now.

I picked it up.... well worth throwing out such minimal coin.

[Grapes]

That's cheap!

Maybe I'll go buy it, and then if I don't like it you owe me $8

[Gusto]

maybe i will too. you're gonna owe us all 8 bucks.

[ebbomega]

I worry I may get as addicted to The Bravery as I have Franz Ferdinand...

I like what I've heard so far...

[Grapes]

Listened to Bloc Party a few more times.. it's a good album for what it is, some songs jump out but one the whole their sound still seems a bit one dimensional for me. But enough damning them with faint praise.

Picked up Arcade Fire _Funeral_... definetely NOT one-note sound.. feel like if I sit with this at the right time and play it start to finish it might stick. A real "Album" album.

Obsessing over Keane's single "Everybody's Changing" right now. Might have to use the power of the internet to get the 2004 release _Hopes & Fears_ that spawned it.

As of this moment, have still not taken Cdn Brdr up on his 8 buck challenge.

[Cdn_Brdr]

^Hell, take it off of the ftp if anything.... I've been grooving this album for two weeks straight now.

I've been loving The Bravery as well. I'd definitely recommend checking out Keane's 'Hopes and Fears' Dave.... it's an amazing album.

they're a little more upbeat, good at a club, especially tracks like Banquet.

Controller Controller I apparently need to get into. I've heard like 2 songs and I likey.

Damnit... hurry up computer...

[Grapes]

Arcade Fire is pretty damn good.. doing a slow burn on me.

[ebbomega]

I just picked up The Faint's Danse Macabre on vinyl from Zulu the other day.

Complements the Wet From Birth I got from Virgin a whiles back...

I smile.

[Cdn_Brdr]

I'm sure all of you already know that Bloc Party is playing the Commodore Ballroom on May 29th w/ Kiss Me Deadly and She Wants Revenge right?

I'm sure you also knew that tickets were the glorious price of $19.00 +s/c.

Of course I totally wasted my time typing this here becasue you all knew this already, right?

[Gusto]

I saw them at Richards, but will probably check them out again.

WWIII > Attak, and it came out more recently.

First song is killer, next few kinda blow (in that KMFDM way), around track 6 or 7 the album gets really interesting though.
