The Indie Thread

[blackwasp]

Does anyone else here like Sonic Youth? I've got Daydream Nation and Sonic Nurse, but I don't really know where to go next. Help.

I should probably be asking the same question. I think they're alright, but I don't have anything by them other than Goo. "My Friend Goo" is one of the coolest tracks of all time.

Eh, it'll all be worth when I set eyes upon Sufjan. I think I'm developing a mancrush on him.

Ha. I wouldn't be upset if he got together with Kelly Clarkson. They deserve each other.

Imagine what their children would look like.

They would be like superchildren or something.

And judging by the track titles on Illinois, they would have the longest names ever.

I only hope that Kelly would let Sufjan name the children.

I actually had a dream about Sufjan last night. I won't go into any more detail.

I would make a comment, but it would get edited.

^Did you have a dream about Kelly Clarkson?

 

[philN]

Maybe. Maybe not.

There's nothing lamer than holding your tongue. Shame on you both.

Thurston Moore is an ageless wonder. I think he looks younger now than he did when they released their first album.

Looks good to me. Very good, in fact.

I'm interested in hearing Chase's music. Does he have any songs available online?

Thanks.

Here. Listen to something off Bitter first, if you get a chance. It's his most recent album, and one of my favorites. His new demos are awesome...his song structure and lyrics are starting to get weird which makes me .

"Good For You" went to #1 on Soundclick last year in one of the genres (I can't remember what it was listed under, maybe folk). But the technicality of the guitar solo in "On My Own" is ridiculous.

 

[Arnold_Philips]

Looks pretty good. I would enjoy listening to it.

 

[philN]

I just downloaded the new Animal Collective, Sigur Ros, and Death Cab albums (although, I'm not really holding my breath on Deathcab, I've never been much of a fan).

I haven't listened to any of them yet. But I just thought I'd share that.

And I will also mention that I cannot wait until October. I am dying to hear the new Broken Social Scene stuff.

Don't know if it's just me, Jacob, but the link wasn't working.

And I am also looking forward to the new BSS; if "7/4 (Shorelines)" is any indication, we might have a contender for best album of the year.

Crikey! www.chasejedick.com

Do you have a link to stream it?

Wow. The new Animal Collective is really good. It seems they are getting more and more accessible with each album, and I think Feels is quite possibly their strongest release to date. I think it's at least as good as Sung Tongs, and I really liked Sung Tongs.

For those of you that like that kind of thing and haven't heard these songs yet, Soulseek is your friend. I think even those of you who were disappointed with Sung Tongs may enjoy Feels.

Thankee.

After listening to it a couple of times, I really like "7/4 (Shorelines)", which isn't surprising since I really enjoyed 'You Forgot It In the People'. Does anyone else think that "Anthems For a Seventeen Year Old Girl" was incredible?
