1. Silversun Pickups- Lazy Eye rulz.this band, even though Smashing Pumpkins did it first. Well Thought Out Twinkles much?
2. Lansing-Dreiden- Because I dig the 80s club music. Reminds me of the good times even though they're in the now.
3a. Kings of Leon- Southern rock will ALWAYS own. Molly's Chambers, she be California Waiting.
3b- Midlake- Because Roscoe fucking kicks ass.
I think he meant to deliberately confuse you. Kinda like when Zeppelin put out the Houses of the Holy album but waited until Physical Graffiti to release the song by the title of Houses of the Holy. Have another hit and it will be all good.Shoalzie wrote:Why couldn't you just say your 4 favorite bands?
I have The Crane Wife and haven't even listened to it long enough to like it yet. I think I was spoiled with their previous albums. Picaresque is perfection to me.BSmack wrote:1. The Decemberists- Crane Wife, Her Majesty, Picaresque, Castaways and Cutouts... its all pure fucking genius.
while i'll say picaresque is their best album, i don't think it's heads and shoulders better than castaways and cutouts. there are quite a few underrated classics on that album: odalisque, here i dreamt i was an architect, a cautionary song, and the epic closer, california one/youth and beauty brigade. while picaresque is their top album, their debut still kicks major ass.MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:Picaresque is a cut above the rest. Not just the songs themselves, but the way the album was arranged, and flows from start to finish.
And the rest is pretty fucking good.
FOX Theatre in Boulder used to do that shit all the time before the local college radio station became a "taste arbiter". you'd have good bands (or bands with some cred that the Phish/Blues Treveler cocaine slaves that owned the place had no real clue about) like Soul Coughing or Curt Kirkwood's latest project or Banyon or the Flaming Lips (for that matter)* come in and play from 8-9:15....and then retro "Disco Night" starting at 10.Screw_Michigan wrote: ever heard of a concert being done by 9:30 p.m.? neither had i until i tried to see the decemberists last may.
damon che of don caballero said the same thing to me after playing three or four songs at kraftbrau in kzoo in 03 after being spit upon and threatened by some asshole in the crowd.King Crimson wrote:* i talked to Seven Drozd outside the Fox one night after they got run off the stage in about '92 after about a 40 minute set--and he said to me, "we'll never play here again."
the FOx was state of the art sound in about 1991 when it opened as a music venue (used to be a movie theatre, i saw Wild at Heart there)....the sound has always been pretty good when i've been there (i've seen some great shows there--albert king, iggy pop, junior wells). i had a couple friends in bands who played there in the summers when there was no cover or they were kind of making some local noise and they were just trippin' on how good they sounded.Screw_Michigan wrote:damon che of don caballero said the same thing to me after playing three or four songs at kraftbrau in kzoo in 03 after being spit upon and threatened by some asshole in the crowd.King Crimson wrote:* i talked to Seven Drozd outside the Fox one night after they got run off the stage in about '92 after about a 40 minute set--and he said to me, "we'll never play here again."
tell more about the incident. why did they play for only 40? was that the usual length of their set, or did they call it a night early?
is the fox usually a shitty place for sound? the wolf parade boot i uploaded is from the fox and maybe it's just the recording, but the sound could use some improvement.
damon seemed ok when we were talking to him, obviously he was very frustrated and perturbed with what just happened at the show. but he didn't come across as some gradiose asshole in which i have heard people describe him.PSUFAN wrote:I know this guy.
