celluloid_love · 07-06-2008, 03:41 PM

grouper - dragging a dead deer up a hill
my disco - paradise
tallest man on earth - shallow grave
earth - the bees made honey in the lion's skull
sun kil moon - april

redbull · 07-06-2008, 03:47 PM

man man - rabbit habits
mae shi - hllyh
headlights - some racing some stopping
sigur ros - mea sum blah blah blah
lil wayne - carter 3

celluloid_love · 07-06-2008, 03:49 PM

did you like headlights' last album (i thought the first song was ok, the rest was bad)

redbull · 07-06-2008, 03:51 PM

i like a lot of the songs on it, but as an album its not as good. Their EP that they released before it is pretty sweet though.

I'm Hardcore · 07-06-2008, 04:31 PM

no age - nouns
birds of maya - volume 1
valet - naked acid
black hollies - casting shadows
bardo pond - batholith

pale blue eyes · 07-06-2008, 05:00 PM

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Lie Down in the Light
French Kicks - Swimming
Man Man - Rabbit Habbits
The Tallest Man on Earth - Shallow Grave
The Black Keys - Attack and Release

Honorable mention for R.E.M.'s Accelerate. It isn't great but considering the two albums that came before it I was quite happy.

D. · 07-06-2008, 05:07 PM

5 LP records i like the most from this year would be:

Vampire Weekend - S/T
Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
Panda Riot - She Dares All Things
The Duke Spirit - Neptune
Unwed Sailor - Little Wars

I'm Hardcore · 07-06-2008, 05:07 PM

i guess my 5 are basically just the albums i've listened to the most

That Vampire Weekend album is catchy as all hell. I think I played it on and off for a week straight once I first heard it but hardly ever since.

oh man, totally. i may have overplayed it but i don't want that to detract from how fun an album it really is.

Shapan · 07-06-2008, 06:59 PM

vampire weekend sucks.

1. the kills - midnight boom
2. devotchka - a mad & faithful telling
3. okay - huggable dust

1. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Lie Down In the Light
2. The Steeldrivers - S/T
3. Lindstrom - Where You Go I Go Too

02. Vampire Weekend – Vampire Weekend

1.Deerhunter-Microcastle
no particular order:
Vampire Weekend-st
Fleet Foxes-st
Headlights-Some Racing, Some Stopping

edit: deathcab - narrow stairs

i have no idea if any of these are more than a flash in the pan but i enjoyed them

TheDeuce · 07-06-2008, 10:53 PM

outside of shapan's list i don't really know any of these bands. i guess i'm not cool enough to be here.

in no order:
The Zutons - You Can Do Anything
The Dandy Warhols - Earth To The Dandy Warhols
Weezer - Weezer (The Red Album)
Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I-IV & The Slip
The Brian Jonestown Massacre - My Bloody Underground

redbull · 07-06-2008, 11:26 PM

that kills album is pretty sweet

ravenguy2000 · 07-06-2008, 11:51 PM

Oh yeah that Fleet Foxes is pretty good, I forgot about that one.

celluloid_love · 07-07-2008, 01:24 AM

so i need to hear this man man album

D what happened to you? you used to buy into the punk-rock mindset

Shapan · 07-07-2008, 01:37 AM

the man man album was a big let down for me. so was the british sea power album, but i expected that. wolf parade's album was underwhelming but still alright. it feels like all the spencer krug bands are losing their identities the more he goes along.

i dont see what the big deal is with the fleet foxes record. seems very ordinary.

im gonna give the grouper album a listen some time tomorrow

ryan patrick · 07-07-2008, 06:14 AM

no age - nouns
blank dogs - on two sides
fuck buttons - street horssing
the hospitals - hairdryer peace
skullflower - desire for a holy war

celluloid_love · 07-07-2008, 06:16 AM

can you up the blank dogs please

i'm sure i won't like it but worth a shot

ryan patrick · 07-07-2008, 06:18 AM

why wouldn't you like it, have you heard their other material and didn't like it?

it's up for download on their blog [along with everything they've released] for free anyway:

celluloid_love · 07-07-2008, 07:00 AM

i've got 'the first two weeks', did absolutely nothing for me

Sylvia Woods · 07-07-2008, 07:22 AM

some of the eps and singles are iffy, but that full length, and the diana EP are fab.

ryan patrick · 07-07-2008, 08:23 AM

yeah, the first two weeks is more of a grower, it's better to start with the diana 12"

ryan patrick · 07-07-2008, 08:31 AM

i wouldn't say that the singles are that iffy, all the A-sides they've done: Doorbell Fire, Yellow Mice Sleep, Two Months, In a Web, are great. even Mirror Lights is good. the b-sides aren't as strong but i still enjoy them all, I can't think of a Blank Dogs song yet I really don't like.
