Lillehamring Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes is my personal favorite, but also enjoyed:Frightened Rabbit - Midnight Organ Fight Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend MGMT - Oracular Spetacular Blitzen Trapper - Furr Hercules & Love Affair - Hercules & Love Affair fleet foxes just grows and grows... didn't like that much of VW, what are the others like? Going to see them at The Charlotte later this year (assuming Mrs John Murphy has got his act together <_< ) - should be good! when when when?
Nationwider Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 fleet foxesexplorers club glen campbell thom hell and, of course, i have to mention the long overdue rerelease of 'pacific ocean blue' by dennis wilson, one of the most beautiful records ever made, whilst still being a bit sultry and dirty I forgot to put this on my list. It's great. I know its becoming a bit of a cliché for old codgers to do modern covers albums, but when you pick the songs as carefully as this, have such a fantastic vocalist who still sounds great after all these years, and manage to recapture the lush orchestration that evokes memories of the classic Campbell songs, then its all worth while.
Jonezy Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 fleet foxes just grows and grows...didn't like that much of VW, what are the others like? Frigthened Rabbit: Scottish indie rock. You will either hate or love the singer, he got this kind of fragile voice that gives the songs added intensity. A band that will grow on you if you give them time. Link: http://www.myspace.com/frightenedrabbit MGMT: American synth pop/rock kind of thing, that I wouldn't normally go for, but these 2 guys have created a sensational album while being very original. They are very hyped, so a lot of people have already grown a dislike to them. Link: http://www.myspace.com/mgmt Blitzen Trapper: American folk/indie rock band from Portland. Used to be more experimental (kind of the indie answer to Beck), but this first album on the Sub Pop label (the label, that went famous with Nirvana and now is the home of bands like Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses and The Shins) is more back to the roots. It wont win many prizes, but I really enjoy this album. Link: http://www.myspace.com/blitzentrapper Hercules & Love Affair: Disco reborn. American DJ/producer/music talent Andrew Butler is the main guy behind this electro/disco album. Antony from Antony and the Johnsons delivers vocals to some of the tracks and it works wonders.

General Smuts Posted 19 October 2008 Posted 19 October 2008 I owned the Panic! album 18 months before it was available on general release. Im so cool it hurts me sometimes. I've seen them live. I also owned the song Hey There Delilah closer to 2 years before it was in the charts. EMO!
Head Honcho Posted 19 October 2008 Posted 19 October 2008 Cant believe were now on GU35!!GU7 Paul Oakenfold In New York and GU9 Sasha in San Francisco were my favorites,never really got into Nick Warren. Nick Warren-Prague is awesome.
MC Prussian Posted 20 October 2008 Posted 20 October 2008 Mother Mother - O My Heart I've been waiting for so long to get my hands on a copy/download/whatever... Now that I've listened to it, I can honestly say that it's a masterpiece. Not just for it's diverse styles and sounds, the different instruments mixed together, but most and foremost because the songwriting is so concise.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 20 October 2008 Posted 20 October 2008 Sorry smuts but Daggers that is brilliant
The People's Hero Posted 24 October 2008 Posted 24 October 2008 I've just seen this and THAT is superb. Smuts is going to love that.
Asha Posted 24 October 2008 Posted 24 October 2008 Panic at the Disco are well sh it.PatD are just sh it. That's an opinion. A wrong one.
The People's Hero Posted 24 October 2008 Posted 24 October 2008 That's an opinion.A wrong one. You'll get photoshopped there in a minute, if you're not careful!
