seconded

I have been meaning to reply, but it is a long list you hipsters have bestowed upon me. Let me see.
I already own Alexisonfire's Watch Out!, and have been meaning to get Crisis for awhile. While their new album doesn't sound entirely different from Watch Out!, it's nice to see more of the same.
I already listen to a lot of At The Drive-In and Broken Social Scene, but I forgot to mention them for some reason.
Animal Collective, The Walkmen, Silver Jews, and Deerhoof are on on my re-listen list. I think it's all something I could get into, but will take some time to familiarize myself and understand the bands. I can do that, but it will take some gettin' used to. Every foreign band is on this list, too. Lyrics are a big part of music for me, so I have to get in a certain mood to enjoy music I can't understand.
The Shout Out Louds, Wolf Parade, Stars, and Q And Not U are dynamite. I will definitely be adding some of their albums to my meager collection soon.
I have yet to check out Circle Takes The Square, Hoover, Jawbox, Grizzly Bear, Explosions In The Sky, Spoon, or the other bands mentioned. I like to take my time in experiencing new music, so I spend a good amount of time on one band (and even a good amount of time on one song). I will get to them soon enough.
Thanks again for all the good music! I will continue to diligently plow through the ever-increasing list of good sounds, until all are checked or exxed.

That is a super sweet album indeed... and so is the most recent one, Crisis... but the first one is pretty classic as far as Alexisonfire goes.

There's something really funny about seeing Jim's name at the end of a list of screamo artists. :laugh:
But yeah, everyone can use some Jim in their life. God only knows where mine would be if it wasn't for his Drag City albums. Or Happy Days, for that matter!

Like Circle Takes the Square, The Number Twelve Looks Like You is something I listen to if in that kind of mood.... Or The Locust.
