AfricaBrass Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 2. Supergrass - I only started listening to them 1 1/2 years ago with the release of the last album. Since then I've bought every album they've released. On a scale of 1 to 10, they are a 10 to me. The first 2 Supergrass albums are solid SMOOOOOOOKE! The third was wasn't as strong IMHO. They have a nice balance of pop and noisy rock. It's funny... I actually prefer their newer stuff. I think they've had a very interesting evolution. I believe they are currently recording their next album... I'll buy it the day it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't grab me as much as the others, though. (not that there aren't some great songs there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 FWIW, and sorry to be a pedant but this was the 'Grasses first disc and what a debut. Kinks, Faces, Who and Stones in one spotty teenage bong . I remember the day it came out, I was out training with a younger team-mate and he would not stop humming 'Caught By The Fuzz'; which is, in English parlance, the Police. I saw them live once and whata sound. The bass was very much like Entwhistle's backward peddling sound. And Rooster I very much recommend the Muse album 'Origin Of Symmetry'; a riot from start to finish. The best of them all in my opinion. Again, a blast live.

A Lark Ascending Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 God I feel old. I don't know the music of any of these popular beat combos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Do They Might Be Giants count? Seems to me they formed over twenty years ago. But their first album came out in the mid-80's, so maybe one could stretch a point. Don't much care for most modern rock. I like Fountains of Wayne. Other than that....hmmmm....file me under "fuddy duddy." And pass me that Ramones tape. B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I'm not up on Supergrass as much as I should be. I wasn't planning on being a "completist", though. I'll keep my eye on the used bins and maybe pick up some more when they show up.

Rooster_Ties Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) Just picked this up, and am enjoying it quite a bit... (couldn't link, see attachment below) Death Cab For Cutie "the john byrd e.p." (about 40 minutes) Featuring 7 live tracks taken from the 2004 spring 'transatlanticism' tour. Link: Only available from independent stores. B-) Edited March 14, 2005 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Anyone listen to Secret Machines? A friend just turned me on to them recently. An interesting blend of prog & alt. "Now Here Is Nowhere" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonym Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 This music makes me naucious. Which music? If you don't mind me asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md655321 Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 One absolutely fantastic CD from last year is Arcade Fire - Funeral. Sorta iniesh lo-fi rock, but with delusions of grandeur. Its fantastic. Personally, I think rock music is better now than at any other time since 1970. I will second the previous mentions of Death Cab for Cutire and Postal Service. Other great bands from the last decade or so: Mars Volta Sparta The Waifs The Shins Iron and Wine Ben Harper John Butler Trio Wilco Flaming Lips Radiohead (of course) Jack Johnson Jeff Buckley Damien Rice Muse Modest Mouse Polyphonic Spree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Uncle Tupelo, even though they imploded far too soon into two lesser bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Kat Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 This music makes me naucious. Which music? If you don't mind me asking. I'm going to be vague, but modern rock. I cant name bands, I just know from what I have heard. I dont see any creativity in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md655321 Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 So you cant name any bands and you dont see any creativity there (which clearly means you havent listened to enough of the music) but you still feel the need to say this music makes you feel nauseous? There are no bad genres of music and it always quite dangerous for any music fan to simply dismiss that which they clearly know very little about. Go buy some Wilco or some Radiohead. It might do you some good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md655321 Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 There is a difference between recognizing what you dont like and dismissing music which you know nothing about. If you like music, and I imagine that all of us do, you are doing yourself a terrible disservice to avoid entire genres based on limited exposure. Additionally, it serves no purpose to say that the music makes you "nauseous." Thats fine if it does, but there is no reason to post in this thread then.

That's precisely the reason that I always hesitate to bash Rap music. I don't listen to it, but if I made a the effort to hear all the different styles, I'm sure there would be some stuff that I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fine if it does, but there is no reason to post in this thread then. Yep!! Keep them coming guys. I'm way behind on the new stuff and will be buying 5 or 10 LP's soon to get re-started. Nice to see many new releases on vinyl, which is what I will be getting. On my short list: Shins Postal Service Iron and Wine Modest Mouse(do not like their last one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
