Sometimes it's more fun to be an asshole.

12/8/2005 3:39:21 PM

I just discovered Ryan Adams myself.

12/8/2005 3:46:09 PM

^^ I understand completely.

12/8/2005 3:46:44 PM

I wish Ryan Adams was shitty just so I could completely hate him instead of begrudgingly respecting his musical talent.

12/8/2005 3:48:12 PM

Hhahahahaaha.

Can't you hate him personally, respect his technical proficiency to some degree, and have mixed feelings about his compositional ability?

12/8/2005 3:52:29 PM

Shut up, Jon. Just shut up.

i feel you on the akron/family. that new album is indredible.

12/8/2005 7:37:41 PM

final fantasy, saw him open/play with arcade fire last winter, finally got around buying his album, good stuff

12/8/2005 7:40:55 PM

ha, i didn't know final fantasy was a band, i had always thought it was for the game music when i saw it listed... i'll have to check them out if their at all similar to arcade fire and sufjan stevens

12/8/2005 7:45:50 PM

the arcade fire and sufjan stevens are hardly comparable

12/8/2005 8:07:32 PM

Now i like Mando diao

i used to be fairly prejudiced against hardcore, but now i listen to the blood brothers pretty regularly

12/8/2005 8:25:11 PM

^^^maybe not, i should've worded that better, it's more like most people who listen to final fantasy also listen to some/all of these bands
* Wolf Parade
* The Arcade Fire
* Joanna Newsom
* Sufjan Stevens
* The Decemberists
* Ultima Online
* Andrew Bird
* The Books
and if you like those then there is probably a good chance you'll like final fantasy
this was taken from last.fm btw

i just saw the avett bros. at unc and despite some of the crappy crowd, they put on an amazing show. i had only heard a couple of their songs before tonight, but i'll be checking them out every time they come through from now on.

12/9/2005 12:06:57 AM

THE AVETT BROTHERS OWN THE WORLD

12/9/2005 12:30:20 AM

400 blows

12/9/2005 12:32:00 AM

^^,^^^seriously though, they are outstanding...they both graduated from my roommate's high school which is how our group all found out about them, they've all been going to their shows for going on 4 years, i've been going for about 2 years - their energy is absolutely electric and their sound is so original...can't wait for the new cd feb 7th

i was there tonight too...it was a blast

a great show even by their standards

we had an over/under on broken strings, the count got to five

[Edited on December 9, 2005 at 12:34 AM. Reason : ^^,^^^]

12/9/2005 12:33:27 AM

you guys should post genres as well

12/9/2005 12:41:40 AM

GY!BE is talking about a new album maybe coming out sometime next year. And maybe theyll tour. That would kickass. Yes sir it would.

ehe, i just saw Arcade Fire got two grammy nods. Go Alternative Music!!!1

Heres a link to that jens lekman song: http://homepage.mac.com/said_the/.Public/Jens_Lekman_Maple_Leaves.mp3

[Edited on December 9, 2005 at 1:00 AM. Reason : errr]

12/9/2005 12:53:37 AM

^^ the avett brothers are so tough to fit into any one genre

people have called them "americana"

the best thing i can come up with is a mix of bluegrass, rock, a little, little slice of country, and maybe the smallest ever twinge of blues

it IS the hotness

12/9/2005 1:06:07 AM

Two "new" ones that I really like are The Light Footwork and Oh No! Oh My!

and I think they've been around for awhile, but The Features are really good too...

12/9/2005 9:21:36 AM

where can if find music by the avett brothers. the way spro tried to classify them sounds like i would like them.

12/9/2005 10:14:59 AM

google. they have a website that has a couple videos.

but even the live video doesn't really capture what i saw last night (despite the bad sound at the unc student union).

also i know at least one of their albums is at schoolkids on hillsborough.

12/9/2005 10:29:26 AM

i've bought all my avett's cds at their shows - however, as far as i know, more than a few indepedent record stores carry their two main releases so far, "a carolina jubilee" and "mignonette".

http://www.theavettbrothers.com/

follow the link to the store - all the cd's are 15 bucks, they even have their recent live one on sale -

steer clear of the "oh what a nightmare" album though, it was their venture into heavy rock, and well, it sucks

but everything else is awesomeness^n

[Edited on December 9, 2005 at 10:39 AM. Reason : ^ haha, beat me to it]

12/9/2005 10:39:10 AM

^^ and yes, their live performances might be the best i've ever seen - i like to bring people to their shows before i let em listen to their cds, it's much easier to appreciate the cds that way

12/9/2005 10:42:14 AM

I really haven't heard anything new (or new to me) lately that's really done it for me. Maybe I need to look harder
