GLASSJAW Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I can't even imagine how those songs sound. Why do you skip High and Dry? That song is great! Played out? Or just never were a fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Any Bonnie 'Prince' Billy fans here? He's so prolific under a billion names, that it's safe to say 50% of his output is pretty unimpressive, if not totally dry. He appears in the most random places, too. Apparently he's good friends with Zach Galifinakis (or however you spell it), and was in the last Jackass movie for no real reason other than to just stand around, as far as I remember but when he gets it right, I love it. One or two new albums this year, so I'm psyched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 And two new Mount Eerie albums due, too! His work as The Microphones was marvelous. And his folk stuff as Mount Eerie was amaaaaaaazing too. Unfortunately his two new albums are following his "drone metal" phase, which just doesn't interest me at all. Kinda disappointed by that.

D-Money Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thanks, nice to hear another perspective. Any idea where I can look for some of these songs? I prefer to stick to torrents and stay away from limewire and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 ^ it's not really an album to listen to all the way through is it? i usually skip Sulk and Bulletproof and High and Dry and Black Star and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect From Now On Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Anyone going to see Andrew Bird? Anyone seen him before? I'm only familiar with one of his albums but I'm debating going because he seems to be an incredible performer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hume Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 i just find those songs to be either really cheesy or too angsty. i really hate all of Pablo Honey, and they remind me of that album. High and Dry just sounds like a Coldplay song to me. looks like the Beach House album might be out in a few months. their last two albums have been so amazing..Teen Dream is practically a perfect album in my eyes.

GLASSJAW Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 diggin the new Santigold song big time. obligatory sexist comment whenever a female musician is mentioned: she's never looked more attractive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hume Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 what do you guys think of the new Gorillaz, Andre 3000 and James Murphy song? i don't exactly love it, it kinda just sounds like workout music. Andre's part is pretty great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taelin Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Anyone else going to the Straight No Chaser concert on March 15th? They're an a Cappella men's singing group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 /\ Smart. If I was in an acapella group, I'd want to make sure our group name confirmed we weren't gay too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 new Springsteen is "available." On my second listen now, and while I do enjoy it, some songs definitely stick out more than others for me, but they've all got that Boss feel to them. It's better than I had expected, but probably not much better than a 7/10 for me. Still hoping he comes out here for a tour though. I'm willing to pay top dollar for that one.

Guest Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Question: What is the best resource for a listing of local concerts and music festivals? A few of my close friends haven't let me live down the fact that I didn't go to Sasquatch with them a couple of years ago, so I've decided to go to a big outdoor music festival this year (can't get time off work for Coachella though).

Hume Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 ^ i think that last.fm is the best place to find out about concerts and festivals basically you can import all your "plays" from itunes into it, and then it tells you, based on what music you listen to, what shows are going on around you. it's perfect, really.

D-Money Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Going through the new Sleigh Bells now. Don't like it so far...at all. And I loved their debut. The first track is complete throwaway crap. Crush is OK, but it's not in the same league of Tell 'Em, Rill Rill, etc. Most of it is a stale rehash of Treats. That's the problem with a gimmick. When it's new and fresh, it's great. But by the next album, you better either mix it up with a completely new slant, or elevate the songwriting to new heights (the latter is what kept the White Stripes relevant...at least for a couple more albums).

oh captain my captain Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 If you aren't listening to The Weeknd, you should be. This guy is one of the most underrated musicians out there right now. Best of all, he's Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.K. Chesterton Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Don't know how many of you listen to mewithoutyou, but they've announced a new album for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dank.sinatra Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Don't know if anyone has posted this yet but the new Arctic Monkeys song is freaking awesome. I've been listening to it non-stop since it came out. The video is pretty badass too. I really like the new Sleigh Bells record too. I loved their first album but I kinda of expected them to just fade away after. Reign of Terror almost kicks as much ass as Treats though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
