I found $65 in one of my old wallets and wanted to know what you guys reccomend. I like modest mouse and The arcade fire. are 2 of my faves. So...anything like them out there?
-
Pavement? The Shins? Built To Spill?
-
thanks. Some friends have mentioned the shins befor so i will probably get something by them.
-
I think you should. Both of their albums are very good.
If you give us a bit more information about what you like already it would help us point you at things. It's hard to know where to start when someone says "recommend me something".
-
If you like Modest Mouse, you will like Meat Puppets more. They are better.
-
if you like Modest Mouse check out Isaac Brock's side project, Ugly Casanova. really, really good album. it's called "Sharpen Your Teeth"
-
You can get a copy of the Sugarplastic's "Bang, The Earth Is Round" on Amazon for less than a dollar. I'd definately get that if I were you. Also, if you want to get some modest mouse, make sure to get "The Moon And Antartica" and "The Lonesome Crowded West".
Also, get the new Bad Plus album, "Suspicious Activity?" just because you should!
-
If you don't own Surfer Rosa and Doolittle by the Pixies then you must obtain them by any means possible.
-
If you do not own a copy of Velvet Underground and Nico, go out and get it now.
-
You could always visit a prostitute. Or donate to charity.
Personally, I'd go with The Arcade Fire, but I just thought I'd put some other options out there too.
-
Buy a bear instead, a big bear... like a panda or a grizzly, and train it to eat christians and insurance agents.
That would fun!
-
Completely disregarding the two bands you mentioned you like, pick up a copy of The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.
-
Built to Spill.
-
Buy a bear instead, a big bear...
Or perhaps a small army of mongooses (mongeese?). Or ferrets, then you could be like The Beastmaster and walk around all oiled up and moody.
-
You guys are disregarding the budget! Unless the body comes with the army of ferrets, at which point he would be fine.
-
You should buy:
Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground and Nico
Jawbreaker - 24 Hour Revenge Therapy
Meat Puppets - Too High to Die
If you have any money left over, especially if you can get those used, buy also:
Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables
At the Drive In - Relationship of Command
-
Don't listen to him, buy that bear, how about a polar bear, yeessss that would be quite nifty...
DO IT
alternatively:
Buy some Bearvs.Shark or Isis, which I hear is somewhat akin to a live bear. But only akin, not really a double cd with a bear as cd 2!
-
Ooh. Bear vs. Shark for the YES.
-
BEARVSSHARK = TEH SEX
Also, pick up some Built to Spill. Now.
-
You could try Arab on Radar. They are a bit obscure, but fun and cool.
-
Pavement? The Shins? Built To Spill?
Death Cab for Cutie and Bloc Party are also big bands which fit the Modest Mouse and Arcade Fire mold.
-

Feist-Let It Die. So. Good. or Brazilian Girls-Brazilian Girls. In terms of joy per dollar, these are hard to beat.
-
You should buy:
Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground and Nico
Jawbreaker - 24 Hour Revenge Therapy
Meat Puppets - Too High to Die
If you have any money left over, especially if you can get those used, buy also:
Dead Kennedys - every single album, because Jello Biafra is ace.
Totally agree with this, except for the bolded, which has been fixed.
-
This is true. Ignore everything in this thread and just spend your money on Dead Kennedys.
-
if you have anything left, buy the Misfits' Earth A.D. and pretty much anything by the Anti Nowhere League.
-
Thanks for all the input. I am going tomorrow afternoon, to listen to the mentioned music and purchase what i like. I'll let you nkow what i pik so the people who reccomended what i bought will look cool (because im cool)
Any ways You guys have reccomended several hundered dollars of music so i cant get all of it ( I am not a music pirate).
-
Yarrr
-
I got:
The Moon and Antartica by Modest Mouse
You Forgot it in People by Broken Social Scene
Picaresque by the Decemberists
and Oh, Inverted World by The Shins
the rest of the money went towards chicken teryaki at a generic chinese resturant in the mall.
thanks for the input
-
Good choices. Let us know how you like them.
-
WOW! I really like The Shins now. Modest Mouse is awesome as always, Broken social scene was good too, M83 was different like no words hardly...still great album...I went back and bought a devo album with some cash i bummed from my parents. (If they liked the band they will usually buy me one of their albums) I like the songs but got it to chop the
techno-y parts into pieces for use on Adobe Audition to assist my friends band making re-mixes.
-
Good music? Dude, ignore all of the posts in this thread. Seriously.
If it's good music you're looking for, then go out and buy The Chronicles Of Life And Death. While you're at it, you may as well buy The Young And The Hopeless too.

Or, we could not.
-
What the fuck is wrong with you!
-
I'm tired of your gimmick.
-
You should buy:
Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground and Nico
Jawbreaker - 24 Hour Revenge Therapy
Meat Puppets - Too High to Die
If you have any money left over, especially if you can get those used, buy also:
Dead Kennedys - don't, because Jello Biafra is a raving lunatic who's deteriorated into a psuedo-political bullshit-spewing moron with age.
Totally agree with this, except for the bolded, which has been fixed.
Before you jump on this screaming "I HATE YOU YOU SHOULD DIE JELLO BIAFRA IS KING ETCETERA" I suggest you listen to this absolute embarrassment (http://s6.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2TSFXNBZA2PUP0BTD7SQGAPIJR).
Anyways, Sh8k3zu1a, good picks on your musicks!

HAHAHAHAHA! I was so disappointed with Throw Rag. They can do so much better. But honestly, that may be the second worse song released in 2005, next to "The Ambler Saddle"by Ian Tyson, a song written from the point of vue of the saddle.
-
Sorry, Johnny C. You are wrong. I am sorry.
-
I vote "worst song," but perhaps I haven't heard "The Amber Saddle" or whatever.
And I believe the facts speak for themselves, sp2.
-
Just because his recent stuff sucks doesn't mean his work with the Dead Kennedys was anything less than awesome.
The argument is not about Jello Biafra. The argument is about the Dead Kennedys pre-split. Only one conclusion can be drawn from THAT, which is that the Dead Kennedys rock like nothing else.
Sorry. You lose, dude.
-
They rocked similar to a lot of eighties punk/hardcore bands with childish "look-how-socially-conscious-we-are" politics, to my ears. Mostly, I just wanted to draw everyone's attention to "Children Of The Secret State," which is seriously the worst song I've heard this year.

Dude... fuge that. Buy 45 dollars worth of drugs and a 20 dollar mixing program for your computer. Make your own music and become famuis, then you can buy what ever CD you want and you won't have to choose.
My plan = the win, every time.
-
No matter what side you take with the Dead Kennedys, I think we can all come together, find some peace and say with certainty that yes, "Children of the State" is a terrible, horrifying song.
It's like not rapping the elderly; it's something that we can all get behind.

1. Buy drugs and cheap music software
2. ?????
3. Profit!

That's how the music industry works, Valrus.

My God, this board is even more indie than the characters in the comic, isn't it?

Wow, we don't even need the Join Date in his miniprofile to know that he joined only a few hours ago!

That's a filthy lie.
I joined a few minutes ago.

That song is horrendous, but pre split DK was awesome. Too bad Jello didn't go the way of Henry Rollins and continue to be badass.
