7. Very "Screamo." Do you remember Texas is the Reason?
They had a wonderful song called "If It's Still Here When We Get Back It's Ours" that this reminds me of.

8. ONLY if you listen

Otherwise I'll have to forward all recommendations to 'The Party'.
You don't want that, comrade.

11. I did. Good stuff.
A bit to "electronica" for my tastes, but I dug it.

You might want to check out a band called the Arm, who have a song called "Robots vs. The Arm!" Not because it's a good song, but because it's a highly amusing title.

The rest of the stuff on The Arm's album is okay, though.


I love the Apple iTunes Music Store.

13. Did you happen to hear DJs Got A Gun?
Imagine a room full of hardcore rivetheads
And lil ol me in the DJ booth
They're stomping and smashing and grimacing
And suddenly
Magically
I play that song.


Yes. I escaped with my life. Barely.

Downloading your track as we speaktype

38. Animal Collective is better
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 02:32 AM by leftist_rebel1569
Yeah.

That's right.

Edit: Oh, download "Grass" or "The Purple Bottle". Hell, anything off AC's last two albums is great.

46. I like Animal Collective....
but I honestly haven't heard anything as intriguing as Ariel Pink in a long time. The only analogue is the first time I heard "The Grand Hour" EP by Guided by Voices: same alien-ness, same feeling of genius and dislocation.

6. "Just the Two of Us"--Grover Washington, Jr.
No idea where that came from... just the first song that came to mind :D :D But the long sax break (like over 2 mins. :D :D) in it is wonderful.

Gotta love that jazz!

Great band, very similar....they're a tiny bit more "songful" than Paik.

10. Tina Turner: "Workin' Together" or "Acid Queen"
(the former is an anti-racism song; the latter is a lot better than what the title suggests!)

47. The best song they ever did. Hands down.
That song has converted more friends to The Wrens' cause than anything else in their catalogue.

50. I had barely heard of these guys two years ago.
Now between South by Southwest and other shows, I've seen them 5 times. Finally, they played this song live. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

Edited on Tue Nov-29-05 11:07 PM by WeRQ4U
It's like a weird mix of new and old. Like Steely Dan meets Beck or something.

28. Already posted it in another thread,
But Sia - "Breathe Me" is still a catchy tune, three months after I got it on iTunes.

If you are looking for good southern rock albums: Sun Volt has a great iTunes debut up.

If you are looking for catchy pop tunes, Jem's "Fianlly Woken" album is still a great listen for the long commute in the car.

29. The Dreg 77 by The Fleshtones.
Probably the coolest damn song of all time.

Good luck finding it. (IRS Records from about 1981.)

31. "When You Make Up Your Mind"- Gutterball
A shambling, uplifting musical peanut butter and jelly sandwich to devour w/ a permanent smile on your face.

And Steve Wynn's piercing, ascending guitar solo is complete bliss...

45. Black Lips "Dirty Hands"
From their new record, Let It Bloom.

But I don't know if it's out there to download, so you might have to buy the record in an actual record store which would be a good thing because then you'd have more than one Black Lips song to rock out to.
