Something that will interest probably everybody here...

The new Go Team! has leaked.

[/ QUOTE ]

i'm not going to make up my mind after one listen but my first impression is that it was like they took the first album and removed all the hooks

Dizzee Rascal

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty shocked to see this album in this thread, are you American Fedfan? Cuz I've met about 5 Americans who liek Dizzee and I've been searching for them since Boy in the Corner came out

I agree with SMD over Justice though, in that genre

[/ QUOTE ]

I like Dizzee a lot, but I'm not a big fan of the new album.

yeah i know what you mean.

i saw him in DC and he was super sick live. sooo much energy even though there were maybe 50 people at the show. not as big a fan of the new one liek everyone else said though, i liked the old dizzee [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

All,

Sorta random post here, but I've recently been listening to Cat Power again a lot. Her music is just so pretty, I love it.

Also, is IndieMatty in charge of NOW! That's Indie Rock! ?

last songs that played on ipod, comments:

Ratatat - The Mule [Z-ro, et al] from Remixes Vol II : saw these guys live, and they RULE. Most fun at a show ever. I actually know (and love) the original The Mule, and really like Ratatat's cover. Their style, but hip hop.

Elliot Smith - alphabet town terrible follower, [censored] you shuffe mode, skipped 2:30 later than wanted due to typing ratatat review.

[b] Cat Steven's - "track 3" [b] on greatest hits. scratched as hell (damn you girlfriend), unplayable, skipped immediately.

[b] Nat King Cole - Moonlight in Vermont [b] wanted to skip, listened while typing CS BS, then changed mind, now being soothed very nicely.

Beck - Broken Drum Didn't know I had this CD, I can't even think of a Beck tune I know. This song convinced me I should listen to him.
---
Break to get cooked chicken with red curry, garlic powder, black pepper, basil with strange but delicious spices introduced from a limited supply on short notice.
---

Aphex Twin - Tha (selected ambient works) : oh hell yeah.

At the Drive-In - pickpocket (in-casino-out) : ditto, except the bridge. was not digging that at all.

actually gets chicken

Animal Collective - We Tigers (sung tongs): wow. woah! gotta have some patience for this, but if boys with high voices acting and playing music like tigers is your thing you shall be handsomely rewarded. drums are great.

John Scofield - Dark Blue great because Scofield is grooves so tight but this isn't as great as other stuff I've heard him do. For maximal piano solo enjoyment gotta move around, at least bob head, rock or dance in chair. Aside: drove to Oakland and Yoshi's to see him but those [censored] didn't have my tickets at willcall, or record of their purchase. And they were sold out and wouldn't do anything for us. Sneaked a peak and there were empty tables. frustrating experience.

David Bowie - quicksand from girlfriend, surprisingly good. didn't know he was a lyricist, he's hilarious
]

Refused : new noise didn't have to look this one up. [[[aw hell yeah]]] ... o oo o ooooo o o oo ooo ooo ... GET UP SCREAM!

now I will enjoy on my own. that was surprisingly fun.

diablo you will notice that i said cat power first in this thread and pretty is a great description.

ps: next is the beginning of Barbara Buchholz album, wild (prussian?) thereminist, result of long-networked itunes search, downloaded on whim, and responsible now for immediate death of shuffle button. Track: Sokolniki. (buy it now)

I own 5 Beck albums and the last time I listened to one of his songs was probably over 6 months ago.

Do not enjoy his blandness at all, and Odelay/Midnite Vultures just don't seem to have that same surge of creativity as they did back when I was first getting into good music. There's just so many people/bands around now doing what he did then, except doing it better.

i have been tearing up "The Greatest" daily myself after no listening to it for 6 months or so.

do you recommend any of her other stuff in particular?

good interview w/her in the month's "Interview" magazine.

do you think she is hot? i keep going back and forth, but i really want to like her in all sorts of ways because her voice is so very very very.

later. J.

got the new interpol disc, nothing new and i don't think it's as good as turn on the bright lights, but for fans looking for new tracks it should make you happy. there are a couple good, catchy tracks on there though.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm a pretty big interpol fan, and I am also not overly impressed with this album after giving it a few listens

[/ QUOTE ]
I've been telling people the best Interpol album of the year is "Boxer" by the National
