i like that pheonix song. i'm d/ling the full album now.

I've been going to some local "rock" shows in Boston lately. Walked by a free outdoor Taking Back Sunday show on my way to see some some good local bands. One stand out is Kid:Nap:Kin (http://www.myspace.com/kidnapkin). Theyre sort of a jazzy melodic hard rock band w/ really really talented members on drums, bass, and guitar. They kicked ass live.

Does anyone have the new Ha Ha Tonka they can post?

7/26/2009 7:28:52 PM

I really have been digging the new Patterson Hood album. I wasn't sold on it at first but its grown on me.

7/27/2009 12:17:42 AM

I'm a Damnwells fan...idk how I was blinded from this whole free album in Feb...but well, if you didn't dl it or forgot like me...here's the link.

7/27/2009 12:55:36 PM

loving this new Why?

7/27/2009 1:52:13 PM

Eskimo snow is a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

Yo lo Tengo is just ok.

7/27/2009 4:17:10 PM

so did nothing wacky happen at the mergefest?

7/27/2009 5:04:37 PM

i posted this another thread, but a good friend of mine, who is an intern at merge, got to drive zooey deschanel and ben gibbard to their hotel room saturday night

but i haven't heard of any surprise shows

she did say that spoons set on friday night was phenomenal

^ seriously? no way... wait for fall to come and give 'and then nothing turned itself inside out' another listen. i think you'll find an album that is way better than 'just okay'

7/27/2009 7:55:18 PM

the only YLT album i've gotten into is i can hear the heart beating as one, but that one is kind of all over the place tonally. but "pass the hatchet i think i'm goodkind" is one of the most badass songs ever written.

7/27/2009 8:01:58 PM

i know it's not a full length, but my favorite will always be the Today Is The Day EP

7/27/2009 8:08:46 PM

yeah, they have some good stuff, i was just being a dick. never been a huge fan though.

just listened to the new one, wasn't that into it

7/27/2009 8:18:52 PM

has anyone ever heard of this band fun. ?

i heard a single off of their new album and really like it.....anyone know if it has been leaked and can post a link?

that's funny, because everyone i talked to said that spoon were lazy and lackluster, especially in comparison with lambchop earlier in the night (who completely destroyed it with their finale: http://www.vimeo.com/5769542)

7/28/2009 1:33:33 AM

i've also heard that

i think she was still giddy about bumping into Dan Bejar that night and has no recollection of how the set actually was

I figured i'd be able to get a pretty good answer from this thread. For those of you that use iTunes to manage your music, is there any explanation for my iTunes will not download an album coverart that you know for a fact they have in their iTunes store?

have you guys ever heard of So Many Dynamos? (http://www.somanydynamos.biz)

Theyre from St. Louis and i saw em last night. they were really freaking awesome. they completely rocked the venue's face off. he'd hit some synth bass notes sometimes that were about to bring the place down. sort of like Minus the Bear vocals w/ a dash more hipster shit plus some synths. I bought their new CD, so if anyone is interested i can post it up if you can't find it elsewhere.

They were playing w/ Boston band, Pretty & Nice (http://www.myspace.com/prettyandnice), who rock as well.

i bought their album Flashlights and I still listen to it pretty regularly, it's good stuff

7/31/2009 5:40:28 AM

i must say again, that i am thrilled with this new Megafaun album. Its wonderful.


Does anyone here enjoy Blind Pilot?

ok im sorry i posted the above. the record is horrendous.

what the hell happened to good He is Legend???? his voice on this record sounds like he lost it at a rock show and then recorded the album.

so very

7/31/2009 12:00:43 PM

haha looks like you get a 3 page posting suspension for that turd

7/31/2009 12:51:33 PM

that reminds that The Legends came out with a new album mid june..I think. The albums called "over and over" there's about 4 songs I liked..

btw, I came out with a new song yesturday...I'm not amazing or anything. But I kind of liked the new one, so I thought I'd share..It starts out slow, but give it a chance. http://www.myspace.com/jonnyfrankhimsel The song's called "before it all began"

7/31/2009 3:23:30 PM

^^^ you think the album is that bad? it has some absolutely killer rock songs on it and it has received majority positive reviews. its certainly not my favorite of the year or anything, but it seems to me that anyone who enjoyed SOTP would enjoy this one as well; it is not a huge departure from that but still unique in sound.

one word of advice: if the only version you have heard is a leaked version, most of the leaked versions were dubbed off of a misprinted CD. The result was a version of the CD that was slowed down and lowered in pitch. The non-screwed up version sounds a lot better and his voice sounds much better. Honestly his voice on this record sounds exactly the same as it did on SOTP for me (but it was a noticeable change on SOTP as far as the scratchiness, thats for sure).

Its about a 7 for me.

PS And congrats to them, their highest billboard debut to date at #126! (also Tragic Hero's highest).

They were pretty awesome live. i want a real synth so bad.

The following showed up in a (not too close) friend's facebook feed today: "Hmmm....I hate Lady Gaga, but love Chris Daughtry...so why wouldn't I absolutely love Chris' poker love child? Priceless....this is what talent does to a song. "

damn i didn't realize they already selected the 10 songs. Had they let you pick and choose from participating bands song lists this would be a golden find.

8/3/2009 9:06:02 AM

well shit, i didnt know that either ... i should have read a little further into it.

my apologies

8/3/2009 9:18:57 AM

"The Satanic Satanist" by Portugal. The Man isn't bad. I think I like "Censored Colors" better though.

that is absolutely crazy...and actually makes sense. no wonder the cd sounded like asshole. his voice sounded like he was 2 octaves lower than anything they've ever done.

if anyone finds a new link for the record, post it. thanks!

8/4/2009 8:53:16 AM

if you still don't like it then I apologize, but I figured I would give you a heads up since that has thrown many people for a loop.

8/4/2009 8:59:18 AM

i am laughing my ass off now bc i got the good version and i'm switchign back and forth to the old one i downloaded...its legitamately 2-3 octaves lower hahaha.

and yes, now i likeys.

yea I don't have the album yet but I really like what I have heard and am expecting a solid album. The bands these guys are coming from are definitely solid (namely The Format and Anathallo) and the little bit I have heard so far hasn't given me any reason to doubt that the album will be one of the better ones in '09.
