General Music Discussion Thread (a.k.a. indie lovefest)

Sunset Rubdown will put out "Random Spirit Lover" some time in october, and I'm guessing the wolf parade album will come out around then as well, though I haven't read any firm dates.

heh, just googled Random Spirit Lover and apparently I heard about it coming, then forgot about it over the last couple months since the news came out.

Winged/Wicked Things is on the tracklist and if you've heard it before from the Daytrotter Sessions, it probably would've been the 2nd best song on Shut Up I Am Dreaming.

You can probably still download it (along with another unrecorded song "Jason Believe Me..." and two different recordings of "Shut Up..." and "They Took A Vote...") on the Daytrotter website.

the new Fiery Furnaces has leaked.

Widow City is so good you'll forget they ever made Rehearsing the Choir.

I can't get enough indiepop...

Muscle and Flo is pretty fun.

[Jack of Arcades]

Menomena is awesome. Do you have their debut, I Am The Fun Blame Monster?

[SL__72]

Do they really count as pop? Either way they really are awesome.

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about the new Spoon CD. That and the new Animal Collective CD are pretty much all I've been listening to for a week or so.

All,

Not sure if any of you are fawning over Vampire Weekend -- http://www.myspace.com/vampireweekend -- as much as KEXP -- http://www.kexp.org -- is here in Seattle, but they're pretty damned good.

http://seattlest.com/2007/07/23/dont_let_vampir.php for a review of a recent show of theirs.
