lately I've been listening to a lot of alexisonfire, which is strange seeing that I'm really not a big punk fan...

[Rayeine]

hmmm The red light sting, Songs Ohia, blood brothers, the books, the cat empire, the pink mountaintops.. as always lot of Iron Maiden.
My friend Simon plays in a band I actually listen to..
perhaps you shall too?

I was kicking to Blood Brothers back before my hard drive got jacked.

Only really new band I have on my playlist (lately I've just been trying to restore the older stuff that I had on there) has been !!!. And I just picked up some Murder By Death today (don't let the name fool you... it's orchestral Post-Rock stuff... Actually, Holy Lord, Shawshank Redemption is Such a Good Movie just came on my playlist, from the album Like the Exorcist, but More Breakdancing), as well as a bunch of Mogwai.

Mmmmm. Mogwai. Excellent combination with mushrooms. Add in some crazy art with it and I guarantee some of that seeing-sound/hearing-light stuff.

If you like Modest Mouse, check out Ugly Casanova, Isaac Brock's side project he made when this MM fan handed him a bunch of lyrics and asked if he wanted to put some musicians together and make some music out of it. Ugly Casanova was this dude's pen name, so thus this band was created.

As always, I'm always feeling:

Tool
The Faint
Primus
Franz Ferdinand
Modest Mouse

Ever heard A Perfect Circle's The Nurse Who Loved Me? That's actually a cover of a song by a band that, imo, does a much better version of that song called Failure. Check out Failure's cover of Depeche Mode's Enjoy The Silence for more happy goodness.

Oh, and jim (cubed) just introduced me to turbonegro today. Not bad.

Interpol is where its at. I can't seem to stop listening to them. I'm addicted.

I've heard really good things about walkman
FLAMING LIPS
Broken Social Scene - from TO, sooo worth checking out
modest mouse is without a doubt amazing, more so for me with the latest
i for one, enjoy the killers and am also a strokes fan but i guess they are considered olds new, even if most high demand groups now have been making music for a long time and could be considered old.
I also like what i've heard from the shins
and some Elliot. Smith for me is required here and there esp. the tracks which are on the good will hunting soundtrack.

Question..am a huge coldplay fan but have not yet checked out their new CD, any thoughts?Also, are there ben folds five fans on this site, i'm curious to know if its recommended or not.

[ebbomega]

I'm not feeling the new modest mouse so much. Still good, but lacking something their older stuff had.

[diaphorrhoea]

I've been really enjoying M83 lately. They can convey some serious emotion through their songs without resorting to tired emo vocals. Or any vocals, for that matter.

Totally know what you mean. I feel the newer album is more clean cut and fine tuned for the radio, it is missing some of the raw in your face hash it out feel that is associated with the first.

First album was more off the walls and edgy IMP, Good new for ppl who love hearing bad news is more collected/easy on the ears/catchy and is why i feel it appealed to so many people.

Personally, ive heard it one too many times. After a while it starts to sound like a played out Britney spears track, but i still love it all the same and would be thrilled to hear it drunk at a bar just as if BS were to come on in the same state.

im rambiling. bed time.

[Cdn_Brdr]

Judging from what you listed I'd recommend

Boysetsfire
The Faint (for the second time)
Kaiser Chiefs
Blue Sky Mile
Rise Against
Straylight Run (these guys are amazing)
Story of the Year
The Dissociatives (includes Daniel Johns of Silverchair on vocals)

[Courtney]

saves the day

[Pennywise]

Swingin' Utters
HIM
turbonegro

[Pennywise]

Snfu.

[Rayeine]

Pinback, Dysrhythma and the Starlight Mints too...amazing bands
I think K-os is supposed to make an appearance on the new Broken Social Scene record, that should be neat to hear. What's that music video by them? with all the honey or peanut butter on the glass, and there is this silhouette of these two baby bears just licking it off...and the whole thing is shot from the other side..so rad! With the sun shining through and eveything

[ash1ee]

bloc party, hepcat, phoenix, inxs, the streets.

thats all for now folks.

[inside]

Oh, Oh, I know. The Fiery Furnaces. They Kinda remind me of the B52s with the lyrics they have in a way, and they seem very free musicaly. You all must listen to this band! U won't be disapointed=)

I've been diggin INXS for the past couple months=) I'm obsessed with the song Suicide Blond, the harmonica line is so killer. Isn't kinda wierd that they wrote that song and all that shit happend with Michale and Paula? Kinda Ironic, don't u think?

[ebbomega]

M83 rules. I love them.

I just listened to a couple tracks off the new A Perfect Circle album... I'm loving the Imagine cover...

The Faint has been sitting on my "Favourite Band" mantle since I first discovered them back in late December.

LCD Soundsystem. Saw them at the Commodore last month and they fucking rocked the house. The pet project of the DFA's James Murphy (DFA is the team/label that put out The Rapture among others). Their self-titled album that came out earlier this year is off the fucking wall. My favourite tracks are On Repeat, Tribulations, Movement and Disco Infiltrator. I have their single Losing My Edge on vinyl, which was the first LCD song I discovered when one of the Duncan hipsters told me to check them out when I told him I was getting into Electroclash. And Soulwax did a really cool remix of Daft Punk Is Playing At My House where they interspersed Murphy's lyrics with a bunch of samples from Daft Punk songs.

I hear Mono is great if you're into the Space-Rock/Post-Rock Mogwai type stuff, but I've never heard them myself.

And if you really want to convince a hipster you know what you're talking about, check out Neutral Milk Hotel. Very raw rock music.

[ebbomega]

Oh yeah. Franz Ferdinand too.

Fuck there's a lot of good bands out lately.

[diaphorrhoea]

Yeah, I picked up the Franz Ferdinand CD awhile ago. THIS FIRE IS OUTTA CONTROL! :D

[Grapes]

Dammit, what happened to the thread I made about great bands.. I'd put together a shit load of reviews on there.

Here's my latest, from a couple of discs I picked up:

Kaiser Chiefs - _Employment_ : 7/10

Need a few spings thru this yet.. some very catchy stuff, but not very complex musically. Songs lack depth so they don't make a lasting impression on me.. still, I don't think Cdn Brdr owes me my money back; there's some fun stuff on here.

Keane - _Hopes and Fears_ : 8.5/10

Possibly climbing to a 9.. hey, you know how Travis used to be really good in the 90s? We all loved songs like "Driftwood" and "Why Does it Always Rain on Me?".. but now they suck. There's good news though! Keane is the new Travis. Actually, this album is probably more solid than anything the latter ever put out... 11 tracks and only a couple that aren't thouroughly enjoyable.. There's a reason it was Album of the Year 2004 in the UK.

Scotty "mother Fucking" Oh!
