HIM - Dark Light: A lot lighter than their other stuff, but still pretty good. I might be going to see them in Atlanta, not sure if I can or not yet.

Bloodhound Gang - Hefty Fine: These guys are kind of a guilty pleasure of mine, the lyrics are beyond retarded, although the music is occassionally pretty good. "Magna Cum Nada" from their last album is becoming my theme song, I think. This one is okay, but I kind of expected more than 9 songs after a 5 year wait. The sound on this one is a lot more dancehall type stuff and less punk, which is what their older stuff was. I think they're just trying to cash in on the popularity of "The Bad Touch".

Ryan Adams & the Cardinals - Jacksonville City Nights: This is Ryan Adams' second album of the year, the third is supposed to come out sometime around December. Ryan Adams is one of my favorite songwriters of all time, and even though his albums aren't always 100% great (whaddaya expect, dude has averaged 2 albums, plus a few unofficial releases, a year for 4 years now!), he still puts out more great songs in a year than most people do in a career. This one is more of a honky-tonk country sound than anything else, but it's still really good. Much of it sounds more like Southern rock than country, anyway. Right now "September" is my favorite song on here.

Postal Service - Give Up: Yeah, it's old, but I still like it. I've been trying to find some music that sounds like this and I really can't do it. Can't say that about many other bands. "Such Great Heights" is still my favorite, even though it's really been overplayed pretty much everywhere.

Death Cab for Cutie - Plans: Their major-label debut. It's really good, but not as good as Transatlanticism, but I didn't expect it to be, so I'm not too disappointed with it. I've had some weird stuff happen in my private life lately, stuff involving death and heavy issues like that, and this album's all about death, so I enjoy the lyrics a lot. The music is pretty slow, if I didn't know better, I'd say Death Cab discovered the wacky tobbacy when they were writing this album. Anyway, "I Will Follow You into the Dark" is the best song, by far, in my opinion.

Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism: I kind of rediscovered this album after just listening to a few songs on it, I'm seeing that it's actually a very solid album from beginning to end. The title track is still my favorite, though.

Bright Eyes - Lifted, or the Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground: If someone asked me to write and record an album right now, this is what I think it would sound like. You can probably tell by the title that this one can occassionally get a little overlong and pretentious, but the band (it's really just Conor Oberst and his buddies) really backs it up. It's kind of somewhere between indie rock and alt-country. Oberst was 21 when he made this album, so I guess it helps your enjoyment if you're around that age yourself. My favorite song is "Let's Not Shit Ourselves" even though it's over 10 minutes long and doesn't really seem to have any clear idea of what it wants to be about. I like this band because rather than try to go out and get a big deal in LA or NY or something, they're just making records in their basements in Nebraska. I'd love to be able to do that.

Eisley - Room Noises: See my post on Eisley.

Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin: I still listen to this one at least four times a week. I really, really, really want to see these guys live. And, whether you're a fan or not, get the documentary FEARLESS FREAKS, it's an amazing movie, very inspiring to see a bunch of guys from Oklahoma City just doing what they love regardless of what other people think of them. The Flaming Lips rule!

You're an indy rocker. Most of your list I can only take one at a time, a playlist of all that in a row might kill me. Bloodhound gang needs to go... they're barely surviving off of Viva La Bam publicity.

I really like Ryan Adams, the others I can live without. I'd also add David Gray, similar sound to that of Ryan Adams, although not the same of course.

 

[Shattered]

Bad Comapny - Shooting Star...

 

[Hagbard Celine]

Faust 72 - Dynastie Crisis

 

[Hagbard Celine]

So you like David Grey. I really hope you don't like Ben Harper, John Mayer or Jack Johnson too. Whenever I hear those guys, I feel like a sweet, red gummy bear is being sucked through my ear. It makes me want to puke.

Ben Harper has the potential to be a much better musician, but isn't my favorite or someone I hate. Not crazy about the others, but too each their own, eh?

I'm more of a blues fanatic, that stuff isn't my favorite type of music in the first place.

 

[Hagbard Celine]

A little Miles Davis, James Brown or Sinatra goes a long way with me, but I can't talk. Lately I've been listening to the Black Eyed Peas in my car.

What kind of blues? Got any favorite artists? I just got into some prison blues. Blues songs recorded by lifer's in state prison in the 60's. Fantastic.
