I've been listening to alot of Pavement latley...notably 'Slanted and Enchanted' and 'Crooked Rain'. 'Texas Never Whispers' and 'Range Life' are two of the greatest songs ever written.

 

[warren]

listen to 'stereo', 'shady lane' and 'at & t' - they're also very good pavement songs. oh and liten to 'here', i love that one too

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

I don't understand what they mean

Malkmus was pretty spot on there.

Anyone see the Shins last night? If so, I'm jealous.

 

[c_eagle]

I did . They were pretty damn swell too.

I really like Jens Lekman, I must confess.

 

[KulaShaker]

Wow. I love this thread. I didn't come here for a gazillion years and it's still going.

I am in love with Thunderbirds Are Now! at the moment. As well as I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness. And The Boy Least Likely To. Oh and Wolf Parade. They're my favourites.

So, is anyone actually seeing The Go! Teams' Metro Show?

 

[Godz Illa]

Naw I had to pass on the Go! Team, unfortunately. My week would have just been too hectic and I don't think I have the stamina for 5 shows in 7 days. I'm not 18 anymore (I'm 26 btw). Plus I saw them last July.

 

[Godz Illa]

So how was it man?

 

[CliffyIsGod]

The Go! Team was awesome. They have so much energy and eveytone just rotates wheat instuments they play. Ladyflash, Junior Kickstart and VIP were my favourites.

Ninja! Ha!

I'm regretting not seeing them at the Metro as well as the BDO. They just have so much energy live and they really get the crowd going with all the crowd involvement and everything. 'Huddle Formation' was the highlight for me - especially with the crowd doing the 'GO TEAM!' parts. I also loved Bottle Rocket, Panther Dash, We Just Can't Be Defeated and Ladyflash too, of course.

As for Ninja, as soon as the first song was over, some bloke in the audience screamed out 'Shouldn't you be at the Australain Open'. I dig those Tennis/Cheerleader outfits she wears

Btw - Cliffy, do you know the name of the song that the drummer comes and sings by herself accompanied only by the piano? In my tour editon of 'Thunder...' it's listed as 'We Just Can't Be Defeated' which is wrong as thats a differant track. Any idea?

 

[CliffyIsGod]

I'll find out for you, Weasels.

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

No need, i found out myself - it's called 'Hold Yr Terror Close'

 

[Balmain_Boy]

New Belle & Sebastian is typically classy imo.

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

Only heard 'Funny Little Frog' so far but i'm loving it!

 

[c_eagle]

Cat Power's new album is totally swell. The title track and 'could we' are amazing songs.

 

[Balmain_Boy]

Chan is swell.
