Springsteen was good very early on in his career but then faltered into pop music basically. He's better now than he was in the '80s for sure. But I'd never call myself a fan of his music.

your praise for bruce springsteen would cause me to question YOUR appreciation of good music.
 
Nico. God, I love her voice. "These Days" is probably my favorite song right now.
 
Didn't expect that to be the next single, wonder if it'll catch on as well as On Call did. I Love the obvious Pixies influence to it.

it sure is unique. you should read "please kill me" by legs mcneil. it's about the early days of punk back in the 1970's as told by the musicians and scenesters of the time. apparently iggy pop got his first std from nico.

i bought the new dinosaur jr. album over the weekend. it's the first album with the original lineup since like '87. pretty good, but nothing mindblowing. j mascis throws in solos pretty much everywhere, from starting songs with them to ending them. it makes me nostalgic for early 90's indie rock. :(
 
Yeah, I've been meaning to pick up the new Dinosaur Jr. album. There's just so many other albums I want to get and I can't decide. I'm probably seeing them live in December...which'll be awesome.

cool. they're playing here in a month or two, i think. i've seen them twice, but never with the original lineup. should be fun.
 
Anybody got the new Radiohead album yet? I'm attempting to download it right now. Hopefully it's good. I liked the new song I heard on the radio. More like their earlier stuff, which is perfect for me since I don't like anything post-OK Computer.
 
Bettye LaVette. She's a very talented soul singer that unfortunately didn't gain the popularity that contemporaries of hers, like Aretha Franklin, did.
 
okay, so, this is sort of the coolest band ever: Zombie Bazooka Patrol. buncha guys dressed up like zombie playing folk rock songs about the undead....and its f**king good.

Not bad. The music reminds me of underground mid-'60s psychedelia. But the vocals aren't that good in my opinion.
 
Here's a band my friends play in. They're called the Bombardment Society, after one of the many extracaricular clubs Max Fischer created in The Royal Tenenbaums. They're a hardcore punk/noise rock band in the vein of Drive Like Jehu, Tanner and Fugazi. Check them out here.
 
Not too bad at all. Max Fischer was in Rushmore, that is a good record; rock classics, charmingly random songs and movie score music by the lead singer of Devo.

damn, i don't know what i was thinking when i typed that. good catch.

yeah, that is a great soundtrack. wes anderson always crams the best music into his movies. speaking of wes anderson movies, i'm heading out the door to catch "the darjeeling limited" right now.
 
bump.

been listening to this band called frightened rabbit today. their 2006 album "sing the greys" is really good. scottish band that plays raw, dynamic indie-rock with slightly unusual, but very melodic vocals. i'd link to their myspace page, but i don't have access to it right now. highly recommended.

here's what allmusic.com had to say about them:

Glasgow-based indie rockers Frightened Rabbit may share the same predilection for fey monikers as their fellow Glaswegian pop idols Belle & Sebastian, but the twitchy trio's 2006 debut is miles away from twee. Employing the jerky, angular post-punk guitar attack of Wolf Parade, the high drama of Arcade Fire (without the giant orchestral arrangements and megaphones), the early melodic ruckus stirred up by the Shins, and the fresh-faced introspection of fellow countrymen King Creosote, Sing the Greys is both naïve and majestic. Led by brothers Grant and Scott Hutchinson, each track carries with it the kind of nervous intensity that only a big city like Glasgow can inject, fueling both fits of defiance ("Music Now," "Go-Go-Girls") and heartfelt nuance ("Be Less Rude," "Behave!") without sounding snotty or forced. There are quality road trips to be taken here, as evidenced by the epic "Square 9," with its insistent kick-drum melodic sweep, and the band never eclipses earnestness with commercial indie rock irony. Sing the Greys isn't a landmark album by any means, but it's got all of the ingredients for a follow-up that kicks the door open instead of pushing it just enough to get a good look.
