L-R: Steve Goldberg, Chuck Eddy, Alex in NYC, If Asshole Could Fly, Geir Hongro

What about Working For A Nuclear Free City? They're a good modern indie band.

(note: the rason they aren't on the list is because they've only got one album at this point, which I don't think is enough for a band that is still going)

I was trying to find that "New Posters of Value" thread for him.

We shd have a sweep on how many days before he's banned after launching into a comedy homophobic rant at somebody like Tuomas.

do you hang around threads looking to swoop?

"HOMOPHOBE! RACIST! EMPLOYED!"

Project much?

don't mind me, lee young-pyo is making me nervous.

wow darraghmac you really hate noodle vague

rather the reverse. i think he seems a nice fella, he's far from keen on me.

The impulse to correct is straight love, dude.

cool, it leaves me more hate to concentrate on the jol/robinson/dawson axis of evil.

I would like "A Punk" if it was something Jonathan Richman or whoever did twenty years ago, but because it's new I think it sucks.

As this is ILE, I'm going to ask this question:

Is this good music? Or just metal shit?

Don't you have to be a bit of a derr-brain to call your band Carcass?
Why would you want your fans to think of corpses when they say your name? Surely corpses = bad?

New Christgau Consumer Guide From MSN Music

^minds blown by an old crustacean's music list, gabbneb feels safe in owning daft punk album now that his boy bob gave it some nebulous props.

Um, he dug the Burial album? I'm stunned. Is there a review anywhere?

MUSIC JOURNALIST LIKES BURIAL, INTERNET REPORTED "SHOOK"

That's a bad review, real bad.

She looks hotter than hell on the cover of her new cd.

I've never heard any of her music.

Best of Grunge

good job on noticing the self-parody omar!

hey kudos you were somehow the last one on the vampire weekend thread who needed to stfu.

i'm just getting warmed up!

Most consistent album artists, off the top of my head, in alphabetical order:

Brooks & Dunn
Dixie Chicks
Gore Gore Girls
Toby Keith
Lil Wayne
Montgomery Gentry
Trick Daddy

I am probably missing some. And albums are harder.

I agree with the Go! Team references but I thought they were a bit like Broken Social Scene too.

dicruz for the win

can someone summarize the vampire weekend thread for me so i don't need to read it?

indie record with "afro-pop" influences gets released

some people like it, some people hate it

burt_stanton bitches about all good bands/artists/writers are getting forced out of nyc and only bands like vampire weekend are left

nabisco otm

gabbneb strangely otm

though, i stopped reading like three days ago

see also: Strokes, The; 2001

Liverpool and Manchester are so obviously the two leading music cities in the entire world anyway. Virtually all of the best music comes from one of those two.

He's got his little traps and his foibles and his insular references (most good guitar rock bands wanna be the Voidoids you know) and any artist that has ever personally criticized him is honored with As to A-s for life, but he's a sixtysomething who says sharp, insightful, atypical stuff about music by twentysomethings. That's outstanding.

-- da croupier

Hard for me to do because I find it hard to objectively rank favorite bands cross genre. but I'll try...

Immolation

Death metal, but this act is one where, upon releasing a new album, I'm buying it on day one.

They have a very unique style, they aren't about balls to the wall riffing, but they create a very bleak atmosphere by creatively using dissonance, odd harmonics, and layers.

Certainly, they've stuck to their niche their entire career, but why not if you're good at it?

Pain of Salvation

The second act coulda been really one of 234, but this group has always managed to write music that is both challenging, emotionally engaging, and memorable at the same time.

Unfortunately, listening to The Perfect Element too much has burnt me out almost permanently on the album.

What "good" bands have been forced out?
