I FUCKING HATE THOSE LYRICS AND THAT SONG.Diablos said:
Hmm, they don't have that many immediately accessible songs. Most of the best starter stuff is on Fabulous Muscles. Let's see. . .
Crank Heart
I Luv the Valley OH
Bunny Gamer
Clowne Towne
From A Promise: (uh, less accessible)
Sad Pony Guerrilla Girl
Apistat Commander
Pink City
Blacks
Brooklyn Dodgers
Fast Car
Ian Curtis Wishlist
From Chapel of the Chimes:
Jennifer Lopez
Ceremony
From Knife Play: (not very accessible, but I think this is widely considered to be the fan favorite)
Don Diasco
I Broke Up (SJ)
Luber
Hives Hives
Anne Dong
Suha
Poe P. . .fuck it, I love every song on this album.
Haters, shut up! The delivery on this part is so funny. The 'Oh wait, you totally did know' part makes me crack up. And the ending to the song is moderately cool, as well. This is certainly better than junk like Walnut House.
Edit: However, this 'song' is probably what keeps this album from being my favorite Xiu Xiu.

I didn't even notice the second part of your post. No shit it sucks.Zilch said:
I was into the band for a millisecond because I thought "Suha" was pretty fucking great. But then everything just fell apart. Didn't stop me from buying two of their albums, though. (That first song on A Promise is pretty good. Guerilla Pony Girl or whatever it's called.)
Xiu Xiu is about the best band that's come out in the last couple of years, pretty much hands down in my opinion.
I've been into 'em since Knife Play came out, and have loved everything they've put out since (though lately I haven't been able to listen to them, I'm not NEARLY sad enough). White Man's pretty much got all the bases covered, though I would suggest listening to Fag Patrol in its entirety, as it's a nice, "easy" way to get into the band. Then probably work backwards from Fabulous Muscles. They've gotten more "poppy" as the albums have gone on, but that doesn't make it any worse, they've pretty much been consistantly awesome.

Hey people, I didn't hear the song until now! I think he makes a point in saying that not all troops are innocent. He might be a little too serious, but that's artsy indie rock for ya.
Well I'm listening to Fab Muscles and um, there's definitely something menacing and generally untolerable about their music. :| Dude sounds like he's about to shoot himself.

I just tried it out too, didnt hit the spot so to say.
My curiosity has taken the best of me now, someone describe some Belle and Sabastien for me, or name a few songs to sample.
Diablos I know your a big pumpkins fan, as am I. Have you tried Porcupine Tree or Pineapple Thief? Its somewhat difficult to find the stuff, but PM me if you want to take a sample listen, Im pretty sure youd like both.
Their latest album is kinda like the Patridge Family, only without the suck. It's feel-good happy music, I almost want to call it hippie-rock.ced said:
Their other albums are a little different, but still really good. The best I can recommend is that you check out a few tracks like "I'm A Cuckoo," "If She Wants Me," "If You're Feeling Sinister," "String Bean Jean," "Photo Jenny" or "If You Find Yourself Caught In Love."

i was devastated.
haha fnordchan listens to filk.
Ah, Big Star. AMAZING band, and amazingly overlooked these days. A few months ago, I started a "Big Star appreciation" thread which got all of 30 replies, if memory serves. <SIGH> I second White Man's recommendation -- if you're interested in Big Star, pick up the 2-albums-for-1 CD while you still can.White Man said:
Of their three albums, Radio City is by FAR the best. #1 Record has a certain charm to it, but the more I listen to it, the more it sounds dated. Third/Sister Lovers is fascinating, because it's literally the sound of a band falling apart, but it's wildly uneven.
If you're looking for songs to preview (and good luck finding a way to preview them), check out "Way Out West," "What's Going Ahn," "You Get What You Deserve," "Watch The Sunrise," "Thank You Friends," and "Kanga Roo." (The first three are from Radio City.)

Talent, defined.
I've been on a Phil Elv(e)rum kick the past couple days.
I have been indoctrinated. I didn't get it when it first came out, but the more I listen to Mt. Eerie (the album), the more I'm convinced that it's one of the finest ambitious works of the past ten years (or more). It's only flaw is those first 5 minutes are skip-worthy.

I should download some new stuff again. This year has been fucking horrible so far. Nothing has yet to grab me besides Devandra Banhart (sp) and Iron & Wine.
The things I expected to deliver have delivered (TV on the Radio, Sonic Youth, Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, Xiu Xiu), but nothing's really blown me away. There hasn't been anything new and excellent. And Trail of Dead getting delayed until January makes me sad, but at least they're doing a live show here in November. They're hot live.

Multi-Syllabic Band Name - All Of Your Tastes In Music Sucks, Especially Those Of You Who Like Linkin Park, Weezer, System of a Down, KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Anything On MTV or College Radio, and Especially Those Of You Who Wear Square Glasses
It's a great album, with "I Hope You Die With Your Favorite Trend (Especially You Indie Kids)", "You're A Trendy Emo-Pussy & Your Girlfriend Knows It", "Tool Got Their Name From Their Biggest Fan, Namely You" and "Even Your Dog Thinks You're Lame, And He's A Professional Shiteater" deserving notice. I highly suggest it to everyone.

Maybe this is the right place to ask this. I recently saw a music video for a band which depicted them walking during normal music outdoors (looked like New York) and then during the "chorus" of the guitar riff, the screen would go black and white, fake cartoony explosions would appear everywhere, and the band would run around crazy ducking for cover until the riff ended, and they just started walking normally again.
I know the band is called "The ______", with the word starting with an 'S' (and it wasn't the Shins).
Any idea?
edit: Also, anyone know of any bands that sound like Alexisonfire minus the stupid screaming singer? I really like their sound, but can't stand singers that scream like that.

He's disappointed no one congratulated him for writing that in the lyrics thread.
