I have talked about them here a lot.  Alligator is their must have.

[bluemoon72]

Ahem.

Gotcha covered, friend.  Also:  what's your vector, Victor? 

[wombat]

This "Old White Lincoln" is very replayable. And oh look at these other videos, here they are with Bruce Springsteen.

It may not be a good thing that I have discovered this just when I actually have gotten some work to do.

My CDs got here today!

I'm going to sit in front of the stereo and listen to some music.  I haven't done that since college.

This Ted, he is the kind of noob that we could use more of.

dear ted,

quit stealing all the attention, genitalhead.

[pmcd9]

for about the first five listens, I didn't get it.  Then suddenly it clicked, and I love them.

I love it when that happens.  I also love the part where you listen to it and it doesn't exactly click, but there is something compelling about it that keeps you interested so you listen again trying to put your finger on it.

I keep trying to figure out what songs are in this category for me, but I cannot think of them.

I think they are definitely songs that I forget about for a while and then come back to.

I am trying to think of songs that affect me emotionally, but those are all songs I can't listen to too often. I think.

If you look at my Most Played on iTunes, it's really random stuff, until you get to a big block of Johnny Cash and the Carter Family and John Fahey. I don't know. I don't listen to that stuff as much as I did a year or two ago.
I will keep thinking.

For some reason the song I keep wanting to say is Kiss Me on the Bus by the Replacements. This video is doofy, though.

Yesterday I listened to Minor Threat for the first time in like a year and was blown away at how good they are. But I don't think I could say I LOVE any minor threat song.

Whenever I am screwing up and stressed out I feel bad about myself and listen to this song. I don't think I love it, but I am listening to it right now as I work on an assignment due yesterday.

I Want You Back - The Jackson Five (best pop song ever, and I will fight to the death on this one.  Find a flaw with it.  I defy you.)

I won't put up much of a fight. It's flawless. But it's gonna have some pretty tough competition in the "best pop song ever" battle.  I mean, "Brown Eyed Girl" isn't even my favorite Van Morrison song, but it may be the most perfectly crafted pop song there is. You could basically stuff that into every time capsule buried from now on. All just a blank CD with the words "20th Century music" scrawled on it. I think that'd get the idea across.

The National, who are these people, I have never heard of them before. They are right on the line between possibly really good and possibly really annoying. (One commentor: "Hearing this makes me want to push the next hipster I see on a fixed gear bike in front of a cab.") This is clearly deserving of further study.

They're a band that is all about mood.  There are times I'll go for days without listening to them, but then I'll be the right combination of melancholy and introspective, and at those times they're like a neat Scotch and a hug.  If you're trying to figure them out further, check out the songs Fake Empire and Geese of Beverly Road.

The National are one of the bands who I consider to be "girlfriend bands," solely because I would never have heard of them if my girl hadn't brought an album of theirs home one day. She's a few years my junior, so this is often an eye-opening experience. Largest divide - she likes hipster dance music that I would generally prefer to shoot with a gun (the most notable exceptions being Hot Chip and, to a lesser extent, MGMT). Not saying I would lump The National into the hipster dance music category, but I'm still....suspicious of them.

That having been said, "Fake Empire" is pretty hot, at least until that asinine, "Hey everybody! Stop paying attention to the actual song and listen to me!!" drum beat kicks in. But come to think of it, that may be more the producer's fault.

Ooh, I gotta throw Doves' "Catch the Sun" out there.

[greenkoolayd]

freaks-os catalepticos

i dig how the drummer uses a traditional/stripped down/whatever sort of kit.  despite the rip-shit speeds they play at, it sounds good sonically and its appropriate for their style.

actually, i couldnt find a video of my favorite song of theirs, but this is close enough.

[Turbo Ninja]

Ooh, I gotta throw Doves' "Catch the Sun" out there.

I've been addicted to "Kingdom of Rust" for many months.  "There Goes The Fear" and "The Cedar Room" for the grand slam.

I also really liked "Kandi" by One Eskimo until I started to do a little research and came across this song - "He Called Me Baby" by Candi Stanton.  I still like the former but the latter is where it's at.

Porcupine Tree - Trains

Sigur Rós - Flugufrelsarinn

Also, my personal favourite Doves song is Words.
