Killer Whales

Yeah, I love Nashville Skyline, and I thought the upbeat songs were some of the best ones on Lie Down in the Light, so I'm really looking forward to this

My votes for Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood

For some reason, I remember him doing over 70 on a concert that was webcasted. I think the average is around 35-40 though. As far as the cue, he just says "nothing at all" and the feel changes right after that. This thread has inspired me to listen to that track. Probably my favorite Wilco song

I haven't heard his new album, but I saw him in Boston last october and the house music before the show was AM

It was actually with Jay-Z, who collaborated with them on an alternate version of that track which was a B-Side. It's cool if you don't like rap or anything, but in all seriousness, Jay-Z is extremely well known AND well-respected and could definitely be considered one of the most important artists in the last 15-20 years of pop music. I'm not going to defend the award show, because on the whole, it was pretty poor. The New Orleans thing, Coldplay, the Bo Diddley tribute, the Four Tops, Al Green with Justin Timberlake, Paul McCartney, and Radiohead were all good to great performances. Howeve

http://www.youaintnopicasso.com/2009/01/13...nt-hurt-me-now/ There's a solo acoustic performance of You Can't Hurt Me Now from Beware and it's absolutely stunning. He also does a beautiful reading of The Brute Choir and a pretty cool interview. Well worth checking out

Agreed, although that Al Green/Timberlake collaboration was right at the beginning and that was one of my personal highlights. I thought Radiohead sounded great, but it was a little disappointing that the whole band didn't play. The low brass doing the basslines and the whole band screaming "woo!" was pretty great though

Wow! I'm stunned. I love that song and Southern Harmony is easily my favorite BC's album

I have all of Ryan Adams' unreleased albums and Demolition, but it wouldn't have been a very fun list if everything was from the Pink Heart sessions on Demolition. However, I was very tempted to put Jesus (Don't Touch My Baby) on there. As for Bruce, he has a huge catalogue and I've never actually heard of anyone that likes either of those albums. He doesn't play the songs live ever, and I'm only 20 years old, so I wasn't really aware of those releases when they came out. Some day I'll probably get them, but I doubt I'll listen to them very much.

Thank God! You named off my favorite Flaming Lips song, my top 3 Phish songs and 5 of my absolute favorite Wilco tracks

Wilco 1. That's Not the Issue 2. Shouldn't Be Ashamed 3. It's Just That Simple 4. Shake it Off 5. Kicking Television Bruce Springsteen 1. Queen of the Supermarket 2. Outlaw Pete 3. Let's Be Friends (Skin to Skin) 4. The Angel 5. Mary Queen of Arkansas (I've never heard Human Touch or Lucky Town) My Morning Jacket 1. Highly Suspicious 2. Into the Woods 3. Honest Man 4. Easy Morning Rebel 5. Librarian Okkervil River 1. Happy Hearts 2. Dead Dog Song 3. Song About a Star 4. Singer Songwriter 5. My Bad Days Ryan Adams 1. Magick 2. Note to Self: Don't Die 3. Tina Toldedo's Street Walkin' Blu

The band I'm in is on ASCAP. I don't know a lot about any of them, but from what I understand, ASCAP is the only publishing company that doesn't require the artist to pay a fee.

A lot of poppier bands do this and just bring bands that are friends and other smaller acts. I could just imagine some groups that would be on the ship.. Andrew Bird Fleet Foxes Low Jim O'Rourke

Yes! This is actually my 2nd favorite song ever. Numero Uno would have to be Madame George by Van Morrison. Other notables for me: Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland/Incident on 57th Street (depends on the day) Palace Music - New Partner Joni Mitchell - A Case of You Flying Burrito Brothers - Sin City Rolling Stones - Tumblin' Dice Nina Simone - What More Can I Say? and a newbie: LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends Oh! and this

M83!

Honestly, I had no idea he was still alive. Still though, one of the all-time greats, and it's sad to see another one of the few remaining members of jazz in the 50's and 60's go away. Not too many left

So this leaked and I'll be the first on here to say that it's probably their best record. It's remarkably produced, melodic, catchy, dance-able, and still very Animal Collective. It's simply amazing to hear Avey and Panda Bear working together vocally again. I'm just in love

It's really really solid. I wouldn't go as far as the Dallas Observer did - it's certainly no "I See a Darkness" - but it's a really nice, diverse set of tunes, and his voice has never sounded better. It's also worth noting that "So Everyone" was one of my favorite tracks of the year.

zing!

Despite this whole Bon Iver discussion being very tired, this is probably the best argument for it being part of 2008 lists. Sure, if you were really on top of things in 2007, you probably could've gotten the album online or at Bon Iver shows, but until the Jagjaguwar release (correct me if I'm wrong on this), it was difficult to impossible to get the record at actual stores. With that in mind, here's my (once again) revised top 25 list: 1. Bon Iver

There's a big difference between being a "funny" band i.e: Ween and being a serious band with a sense of humor, which is what I consider the Decemberists to be. And yeah, they are a little annoyingly brainy, but whenever they sing about some obscure piece of history or folk tale, it's to get a more universal theme across in a way not often heard in pop music. In the case of Valerie Plame, it borders on obnoxious, but listen back to The Crane Wife Pt. 1 and 2. Besides the song length, nothing too outrageous about that song, and what do you know? It's a stunner. As for the rest of the singl

Hmm, I thought the GBV influence was fairly obvious in my work

"Go For the Exit" is the track that stood out for me. Classic Pollard and the band has enough spark and energy to make it happen. If he can write a really consistently good album for this band, I think Boston Spaceships could make it great

Because it usually takes me a good 5 or 6 listens to really get an album, not to mention all the time i spend listening to older records. I probably listen to music for 6+ hours a day. I just find the prospect of listening to anywhere around 100 new albums in a year, well, intimidating.

This list is absurd. How can anyone listen to this many albums in a year? I listened to around 50 and I think that's pushing it
