I ONLY LISTEN TO PITCHFORK MUSIC, K?

8/13/2006 2:48:58 AM

This isn't after any great amount of thought, just from kind of looking through my most played j-a-m-z on iTunes. I'm not including more than one song per band, although some of these bands definitely have multiple spots in my heart.

"A Day in the Graveyard II" by The Sunset Rubdown
"Fifteen Part 2" by ¡Forward, Russia!
"Dokkoise House (With Face Covered)" by Anathallo
"New Years" by Asobi Seksu
"Adventure" by Be Your Own PET
"Flight 180" by Bishop Allen
"Cocaine Blues" by Entrance
"Bounce That" by Girl Talk
"Lowlife" by Scanners
"Tiger Tamer" by Arms
"Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken' by Camera Obscura
"Hospital Beds" by Cold War Kids
"Anti Anti" by Snowden


I'm gonna stop now.

8/13/2006 2:50:18 AM

more like pitchfork listens to my music

i forgot about sunset rubdown. not sure what ill put up by them (i only included one song per group too cause then this would just be CRAZY).

8/13/2006 3:00:17 AM

Oh fuck, Longcut, one of them dudes used to roll on alt.music.radiohead back in the olden days. I might still have some demos of theirs from around 2002 or so something.

8/13/2006 3:03:05 AM

thats actually the only longcut song ive heard but its pretty tight.

8/13/2006 3:05:01 AM

They had a song called, I think, "Transmission", which kicked a lot of ass.

But I can't find it. I do have "DVT", "Spires", and "The Kiss-off" from 2003.

p.s. "Dear Mr. Supercomputer" by Sufjan
p.p.s. "Don't Call Me Whitney, Bobby" by Islands
p.p.s.p.s.s. "Treehouse" by I'm From Barcelona

8/15/2006 1:54:11 PM

^^, people are so used to hearing other people talk about obscure bands with retarded names, singing songs with even more retarded names, that they will accept just about any name you tell them without question.

Nah, if he was going to be a pretentious music asshole, he'd have picked more than just a majority of singles and title tracks from the albums.

8/15/2006 2:18:27 PM
