Got new Alkaline Trio album, never really listened to them before, got it based on some reviews. At first thought it was a bit samey but its really grown on me.

Funeral For A Friend - Streetcar is great also. Really looking forward to the album. Got a 3 song sampler of it but dont wanna listen cause will spoil surprise <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

The new Spitalfield album "Stop Doing Bad Things" arrived today. Fairly solid rock offering thats quite reminiscent of the more upbeat Foo Fighters songs, though unfortunately the best tracks are probably the ones I'd already heard ("Gold Dust vs. State of Illinois" and "Tampa Bum Blues" stand out in my opinion). Then again, its fairly normal for tracks you are familiar with to appear to be the best - I'll need to give it a bit more listening to let the other tracks settle in. Most of the songs feel quite different to those on their last album "Remember Right Now"; for better or worse I've not yet decided.

Just got "Don't Believe the Truth" by Oasis. Not overly impressed I'm afraid, and I reckon it suffered from the same syndrome as U2's "How to Dismantle an Atmoic Bomb" - namely the If-it-was-a-debut-it-would-be-a-good-album-syndrome. I expected better from Oasis. Some tracks are great - Turn Up the Sun, Guess God Thinks I'm Abel and Part of the Queue are all great tracks, but it seems like the whole track is made up of the tracks of the sort of quality you would expect from bonus tracks on an album.

Well, I just got some AC/DC off the internet. Stuff like For Those About to Rock and Shook me all Night Long and ThunderStruck have put them on my Best Bands ever list. Second only to Led Zeppelin. Wow those guys rock.

There's this band called Porcupine Tree that's been getting a smidgen of play on the rock stations around here. I enjoy the lead single, "Shallow," and preliminary research efforts have shown them to be a band with a considerable history. Anyone here know anything about these guys?

Though I haven't bought it yet (if only I had money image),
these four streaming
tracks make me want the new Motion City Soundtrack album very
very much. Hugely upbeat and danceable pop rock with a bit of the
familiar synth in the background that fans of The Get Up Kids, The
Anniversary and Koufax will appreciate. It really strikes me as
universally likeable - I just don't see anything about this music that
people wouldn't like. If you like any sort of rock music, its
well worth a listen.


This post finally got me off my ass to pick up I Am The Movie. Awesome CD. Can't wait to snag the new one.

Also will need to snag their split with Matchbook Romance. Matchbook Romance also rocks.

Got the new Starting Line CD a couple weeks ago, too... good stuff there. Pulley's most recent kicks some serious ass as well.

The only matchbook romance I have is "my eyes burn." I think that's by them. Anything else that's good?

My Eyes Burn is definitely one of my favorites of theirs. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> The entire Stories and Alibis CD is really good, but that one, Promise, and Stay Tonight are also right up there if you ask me.

Reno - I'm just listening to those new MCS tracks... holy crap! great stuff. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

Back to listing CDs/genres/their general goodness, so much easier. :P

Brendan Benson - Lapalco -> Pop -> Great
Of Montreal - Satanic Panic In The Attic -> Pop? -> Pretty good
Of Montreal - The Sunlandic Twins -> Retro-pop -> Great
Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong -> Rock -> Great
The Starlight Mints - Built On Squares -> Pop? -> Pretty good




One day you'll know what you're talking about, I can hardly imagine

Andrew, isn't the MCS/MB20 split mostly made up of tracks from both the bands' albums? I remember looking at it and deciding it wasn't really worth it, even though both bands are pretty good. MB20 are a bit repetitive in my opinion, but I am pretty keen on the Stories and Alibis album. I think my favourites are probably "Lovers and Liars" and "Playing for Keeps", but to me most of the tracks don't give you much to pick and choose from.

Glad I reminded you of MCS, great band <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> Think I'm finally going to order their new album today...damn not living in a town with an anywhere near decent record store <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

Just picked up my copy of the Motion City Soundtrack album on the way home. I've had it written on the back of my hand all week and finally remembered to get it today <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

And ReNo, do you mean Matchbook Romance or Matchbox 20 with the MB20 bit? <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

Err I meant Matchbook Romance, but for some reason when I was making it shorter Matchbox 20 musta come to mind <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> Don't think I've ever even really heard Matchbox 20 before.
