I had never heard of The Sound but they are doing it for me right now. I would say it's like a more Joy Division-y Smiths? Or a cornier Joy Division.

Mixing them with some New Order and Echo & The Bunnymen.

Still trying to figure out Swell Maps. They are one of those bands that come up again and again in interviews with bands I like, but I have never heard a song I loved. And what a great name! Ditto with The Fall (not being into them despite praises, not the name.)

Somehow I had missed out on The Misfits all these years.

I guess the album came out earlier this year, but I didn't know about it until I saw the video yesterday. Mystikal!

Parquet Courts are playing a free show the day after my birthday. But
1. it's at the "House of Vans," as in Vans shoes, so... what is that
2. requires online RSVP, but an RSVP does not guarantee you will actually get in. "first come first served." Do I take the train all the way there and then wait in line for hours? Alone? Hmm.

The Ladykillers was far from the Coen bro's best, but the soundtrack is killer. Gospel makes me so glad to be alive. The thing they start doing at 2:40 or so kills me.

Yeah, Ladykillers was a lesser Coen Brothers effort, but the soundtrack is righteously great. I think I bought it the day after I saw the film. I've probably mentioned here how much I love the music in that film. When you said, "That thing they start doing at 2:40" I knew exactly what you were referring to. My favorite bit of music in the film was this. For some, it's hard to understand how I can love gospel music so much when I've rejected religion. I say to them, "when Johnny Cash sings it, I believe it."

Super into this dont-call-it-grunge stuff from Milk Music.

Carlos, that song is catchy as hell, but when I see New Wave videos like that I understand why punks hated New Wave so much. Although definitely most of the bands I love from that era have videos that are not really better.

Whoa!  I've been listening to the Paul Westerberg version for all these years, no idea it was a cover.

It starts at 3:34 or so (damn hidden songs) and there is no way it will not be the definitive version of that song to me.

I listened to the NPR All Songs Considered "Songs That Make Us Cry" podcast on the way to work, and it rendered me a goddamn mess.

Simultaneously tear-jerking and awesome: one reader submitted AC/DC's "Highway to Hell." His father had asked that the song be played at his funeral, because he found funerals to be too depressing and wanted to liven things up. The writer described being at a big music festival, AC/DC playing that song to kick off their encore, and he cried like a baby thinking about how much his dad would have enjoyed it.
