Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, "Home". I love this song!  Every time I hear it I smile.  I don't know that it's one for the ages, but it's great for now.

The song Cross the Breeze by Sonic Youth is amazing. I had previously liked it, but when I saw them live I realized the degree to which this song is AWESOME.

I have also been on a big Johnny Cash kick, which hasn't happened in a year or so. I forgot how many of his songs are Perfect.

Specifically, Big River is so good. This version is a bit fast, as are all the live versions I found on youtube.

Also amazing: Hey Porter, although it makes me feel an association with the South that is mostly a lie.

Great Picks. I've been listening to a lot of Cash as well, mostly the Live at San Quentin Album. It has a great version of Big River and also Wanted Man.

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, I've also been listening to a lot of Lightning Bolt lately. I can never make it through an entire album though, since it is about 60 min. of pure sonic assault.

Man the Exploding Hearts are so good.  Jailbird is awesome, as is Throwaway Style and Boulevard Trash.  You can tell on all of the songs about glue they are passionate about the subject.  I like that part best.

That was fantastic.  I want to hear more from this band.

I'm a Pretender -- The Exploding Hearts

I think I found my new favorite band. For some reason I feel like I had their album a few years ago but never listened to it. That is a mistake I need to correct.

Yeah, relatively recent for me too, and Christ, I can't get enough of this song. I've listened to it like a dozen times today.

That's what I've been doing with Shelia by Atlas Sound. Though I have to be careful not to stare at the cover art too long because that photo will haunt my dreams.

You're telling me! And for some reason I bought it on vinyl. Thanks Mr. Bradford Cox! Let's just say it won't be on display.

But he is granted rock n roll immunity for anything he ever does because of this alone. I stumbled my way up to him after a show in Chicago once, when he as DJing an after-show set, me fucked up on gin and xanax, and thanked him for this song because I knew that one day it would save my life. It was the xanax talking, but I know he appreciated the sentiment. I even went on to compare it to, at least in my head if not aloud to him, Heart Cooks Brain by Modest penis, previously mentioned by me in this thread.

I kind of met him once, he was a very friendly dude. My friend went up to talk to him after a show and I just kind of stood there, he shook my friend's hand and stuff. Also, like, the way we saw him in the first place is that he just came out and stood in front of the venue and said hi to people.

also: today I found a website that finally told me a banjo picking pattern that people actually use. YES.

My current work environment prevents me from visiting YouTube, so you'll just have to trust me that Be Calm by the punctuated band Fun. is one of the most bizarrely thrilling things this side of Queen that I've heard in a long-ass time.

Are you familiar with The Format? I'm pretty sure they're the band that singer in fun. used to be in. It certainly sounds like the same guy.

Yep, that's the dude.  The former lead singer of Anathallo is part of fun. as well.
