Well, yeah. I know they aren't technically. I was just saying (in a rather roundabout way) that they basically sound like Broken Social Scene records. I guess Broken Social Scene don't really have much of a definitive sound, though. Maybe they feel like Broken Social Scene records? Maybe that is what I am getting at.

sadly, the new Massive Attack pretty much sucks.  and i liked 100th Window.

Yeah I like everything they've done to this point but from what I've heard the new one ain't up to scratch.

Still, any year with new Gorillaz and Four Tet early doors is a good year.

2 days later edit: actually I take it back, I think I just had a really bad quality leak, sounded really flat. Got hold of a proper copy and it's a solid album. "Girl I Love You" is immense.

I've listened to "There Is Love In You" twice so far, and it just hasn't hit me like I hoped it would.

The new Pantha Du Prince is really good, though.

I'm not quite getting the Four Tet hype.

On the other hand, I'm really, really enjoying the new Hot Chip.

My friends have tickets to that. I opted out because I ain't so into Pavement or Band of Horses but now I kind of regret it.

I'm not sure. All of the ingredients are there for them to be a band I would be really into, but somehow I just never got into them.

It's weird how this pattern always repeats itself, over and over again.

"I think they're awesome, let's call 'em the greatest band in the world"
"Yeah let us!"
"Oh I don't think they're that great."
"It's probably because they suck. Let's call 'em the most overrated band in the world."

So the new single by Operator Please is leaps and bounds better than anything I heard on the radio off their last album. I like it when bands get better.

They were better songwriters than they were a band, if you see the perverse logic behind that.

This actually makes a lot of sense to me.

I haven't heard more than a few songs off of it, but Overkill's Ironbound is sounding pretty good. The guitar work is a lot more oldschool thrash, but the problem with that is that I just keep thinking "this would sound so much better with a sharper guitar tone", because they still have a modern, dull guitar tone like you hear on almost every goddamn metal record from a major label these days. If it were produced differently it would be absolutely amazing, but it is still better than most old thrash bands are doing with their new records.

Even though almost everyone asks them in a quasi-ironic style while fully aware that other people have different tastes, questions of this sort never fail to piss me the fuck off.

Also, new REM this year possibly, and their last album was great, so I look forward to that.

just a few nights ago the three of us who live here took turns picking songs for a single "essential Pavement CD" and by listening to it we realized why they were the greatest band of all time (kinda).  they just wrote such amazing songs.  for all they are thought of as being "anti-rock", that's completely misguided.  Pavement were a rock band.  and Malkmus can play extremely well.  listen to the guitar work on "Fillmore Jive" or "Rattled By the Rush" or "The Hexx".

and when they weren't being an awesome rock band, they were an amazing pop band.  from "Box Elder" and "Perfume-V" to "Shady Lane" and "Spit on a Stranger".

mix in some amazing ballads ("Here", "Newark Wilder", "Major Leagues") and some leftover punked-up numbers ("Conduit For Sale", "Unfair", "Serpentine Pad") and well... that's what the big deal is.

if you don't like them that's cool though.  i just think it's easier to make the case for Pavement than for, say, Slint or My Bloody Valentine, and those bands having much less recorded material is only part of the reason.  Pavement are pretty close to objectively good at being a rock band.

no, i was just using two other examples of independent rock bands that people often cite as being objectively good.
