Re: General Music Discussion Thread Vol. 2
[ QUOTE ]
I've only listened to In Rainbows once, and I'm gonna refrain from comment atm because I've decided I never know how I feel about an album till I've heard it at least 3 times. [/ QUOTE ] This generally seems like a good policy. That said, I think I would have to do a lot of warming up to this to not consider it a bit of a disappointment. I've never heard Pablo Honey, but subject to that I think it's probably my least favorite of their albums. After my first listen, nothing has grabbed me or seemed very memorable, and all of the previous albums had at least a standout or two that I loved immediately.

In the last week I've seen, Minus the Bear, Arcade Fire, Blonde Redhead, LCD Soundsystem, Les Savay Fav, Pinback, and I have the National tomorrow night. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Fall Shows in NYC. [/ QUOTE ] How were Pinback? They're in the UK next month - I'm excited. I saw Minus the Bear when I vistited NYC a few years ago - some venue in Hoboken with Statistics supporting. I was there for two weeks and could have happily gone to shows every night. Awesome scene.

Re: General Music Discussion Thread Vol. 2
Here's what I posted in the Radiohead thread in OOT:
[ QUOTE ] So I've listened to it 2.5 times now. It's fine, but it hasn't grabbed me yet in the way I would like it to. There are songs that seem to start out very promisingly - Bodysnatchers, Nude, Reckoner - but then go somewhere that doesn't quite do it for me as much. There's no one song that I really truly love, at least not yet, and all of their previous albums had something that got me right away. I think one thing that's missing is the sort of through the roof, melodramatic melancholia that usually shows up - Exit Music, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Pyramid Song, etc. I eat that [censored] up. [/ QUOTE ] I've listened to it again since then, and I'm mostly sticking to it. I'd love to hear other opinions on the album.

Re: General Music Discussion Thread Vol. 2
calvin harris is so [censored] awesome. all i do is listen to css, calvin harris, and other fun little dance/pop bands (digitalism, justice etc) right now, but i can't resist their little bleeps, bloops and funky bass. i need to check into hipster rehab.

Re: General Music Discussion Thread Vol. 2
If anyone is into bluegrass check out Trampled by Turtles. Here is their myspace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endID=26923130
My friend is the banjo player and I'm not real huge on bluegrass but I really dig their music. They put on a great live show as well. I'd guess I've seen them 20 times or so and they tour all over so if you like their music and have the chance check them out.

Re: General Music Discussion Thread Vol. 2
Just got the new Chromatics album, listening to it now. The track that really jumps out is a cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill". Best Kate Bush cover I've heard in three years!
Full review later.
