Rilo Kiley
trolley:
Aha. I live in Gravesend, Kent -The scummy u-bend of England. I mean there is a kind-of scene, in that all the kids who think they're the only people who have ever listened to alternative music cram into an underage pub on a friday nights. But those morons are easy enough to avoid. But it's not like there's anyone I know that I could go "Hey, like the new Arcade Fire/Shins/ Rilo Kiley album?" to.
Maybe I just lead a sheltered life, but i kinda prefer it this way. I can hop on the train to london and go see a band, and all the scene kids are there, but then i go back home and it's nothing but Akon ringtones at 50 paces. I might live in a town of morons, but at least i can listen to music and know that i enjoy it based on my own preferences, rather than worry about whether my tastes are being led by some kind of scene.
Until I turn the internet on, that is.

I've never heard them live, but if you use metacrawler (http://www.metacrawler.com) and search for "Portions For Foxes", there's one of them playing it live. I'll never get to hear them live, most likely, just 'cause I live in the ass-end of nowhere Nova Scotia.
There's a bit of a scene here, not much though. I'm usually the one going to the local cd plus and getting their only copy of certain music. (I.E. They only get sent one...) This has happened with Feist, Tegan and Sara, and now Rilo Kiley. I've been waiting for three weeks now, getting much impatient.
Three of their vids are on Yahoo Launch... the Unipines in "It's a Hit" are hella cute.
Spencer:
OMG LOOK! Another rilo kiley thread!
saturnine1979:
I have two recordings of them live, and they sound great.
They also do some cool covers ("Simply Irresistable", "Rock N' Roll Suicide").
And "With Arms Outstretched" is meant to be played live. It's the perfect song for audience participation.
Merkava:
Not a fan. Something about them and The Decemberists strike me as bland/muddy/boring.
Mabe I need to listen to them again.
Oh, as for Jenny Lewis...
I'd hit that. ;D
