sal Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I've listened to Them Crooked Vultures once through. I'm not a huge Queens of the Stone Age fan and this album kind of sounds like one of their albums. I'll give it a few more listens though before ultimately making up my mind.

sal Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Speaking of "super groups", Jack White's project from earlier this year called The Dead Weather put out a nice album that remains one of my favs from this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Saw Blues Control the other night - I think they've come a long way since 2006/7, when I saw them last. The new album, on Siltbreeze, is excellent if you like a contemporary art-damaged-rock spin on Cluster/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) My meagre attempt to keep abreast of whats going on in the here-and-now world of music has resulted in interest in the following two groups who have releases this year, probably my favorite records that I've heard by up-and-coming artists in 2009: Animal Collective - Merriweather Postpavilion Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest But these acts seem almost post-modern or alt-modern, if such a term existed. The release by Animal Collective, for example, (the first I've heard of their's, though I know they have a dedicated following) has shades of Pet Sounds, psychedelic electonica, world dance beats, jungle rhythms and trance-like harmonies. I'm guessing they would be a lot of fun to see live. In particular, "My Girls," "Summertime Clothes," and "Brother Sport" send me to a far-out mental zone. I'm not a raver -- neither in the Floydian sense nor in the late '80s Manchester-Stone Roses-Happy Mondays sense -- and not into rave music but these guys bring something unique and captivating to the table.

BruceH Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Starting in about July of this year I've really gotten into Yo La Tengo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
