Great bands

Grapes · #1 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

Lately this has been the M.O.

Discover great band
Pull their albums online
Listen to them obsessively
Finally get over it
Move on to next great band

It's fucking awesome!

The Postal Service
Stars
Neutral Milk Hotel
and currently, Broken Social Scene

Who should be next?

^Kaiser Chiefs.... Get me on MSN and you will believe.

Murder By Death. Post-Rock with a string section. I'm personally a fan of the song Those Who Left.

Off hand, that's all I've got. Your fault for mentioning my catch-all you've-probably-never-heard-of-them (Neutral Milk Hotel).

I'm really digging Arcade Fire, as are a billion other people.

Holy shit dude, you're listening to a lot of the same stuff as me right now (especially the awesometacular broken social scene).

[edit... crap. does that mean we're hipsters?!]

Let me suggest (though, you may already know these):

-the notwist
-interpol
-the Arcade Fire
-TV on the Radio
-the Go! Team
-metric
-the Faint
-Eliott Smith (a bit more on the down/depressin' side)

and in a slightly different vein (but if your tast is like mine, you'll like 'em too)"
-Four Tet
-Edit
-LCD Soundsystem
-Do Make Say Think
-Tommy Guerrero

bloc party

we should turn this into an MSN music swappathon.

I'm willing to trade with anyone who has new stuff for me.

[edit - see my post further down]

May 7/8 in 'attle, apparently Bright Eyes wants to go all Postal Service and be all electro now, so they've enlisted The Faint. So there's two Faint/Bright Eyes shows at the Showbox.

Grapes · #11 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

I have Bloc Party's album I just havent listened to it :P

HIPSTER FEST

mapleleaf4ever · #12 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

Every time I see Bloc Party I keep thinking of the Bloc Quebecois. lol

-ff- · #13 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

Ok, for those interested-

Gusto and I had the idea to just put all this shit up in Winston's FTP
(maybe should have asked him first... but if you're reading this dude, thanks!)

Check under "uploads/Not for hipsters. Honest."

Anyone who has stuff they wanna share, throw it up there.

Don't get why I like Postal Service and don't like Death Cab. Weird.

You too huh?

Maybe that's cuz TPS has good songs and DCFC sucks?

Maybe the talent in Postal Service isn't necessarily in the frontman?

Gusto · #18 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

I'm not big on Death Cab either... I think you're right about it being the songs. Musically they're good, but don't have many good tracks. I like Title and Registration a lot, though.

Neutral Milk Hotel is put aside in my music collections for when I'm really really really sad.

Hasn't come out in awhile.

Grapes · #20 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

Sad music makes me happy.

Cdn_Brdr · #21 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

Upping Kaiser Chiefs now.... have plenty more that will fit in that folder too.

I'm going to up The Bravery and if anyone wants it, the new Hot Hot Heat album Elevator is seriously top notch.

(val)Liam · #22 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

psy dub and/or ethnochill... its the next best thing for me right now...

kaya project, ott, adham shaihk, bluetech (now a resident chill out dj in vancouver)... anything coming out of interchill records...

Grapes · #23 (**permalink**) Apr 10, 05

See the part where it said "great bands"?

Not DJs. Bands.

Thank you, come again.
