BewlayBrother Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I got $55 worth of gift certs to the local indie record shop for graduation. I spent a hour there yesterday but left empty handed. Nothing struck my fancy. Can anyone out there offer a suggestion or two? Recent purchases include the Electric Warrior reissue, We Are The Pipettes, and Jon Rauhouse's Steel Guitar Air Show. Oh, and I'm also in the group of folks still awaiting their SBS vinyl preorder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oatmealblizzard Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Yo, echo....nice avatar. That album is really, really great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BewlayBrother Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Thanks, biters. Heard The National on The Radio yesterday. Too goth for me. Saw The Ponys at SXSW. Nonplussed. But a little bit o' the Bakersfield sound might be just what the doctor ordered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

papinjohn Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 How about Of Montreal? A little rock and techno merged well together - Has a Bowie flavor. I would recommend - Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?Satanic Panic In the AtticThe Sunlandic Twins - Outback Restaurant uses Wraith Pinned To The Mist and Other Games in theirTV commercial.

Ward -- Post War is amazing, as is everything else.The National -- BoxerJohn Frusciante -- To Record Only Water for ten Days and Shadows Collide With People I think most of those are 'indie' enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BewlayBrother Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 wait... we're talking about The National right? goth? what? I only heard that one song Mistaken for Strangers. But it smacked of an I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness vibe that gets me to harken back to the Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen. Which were fine, I suppose, in their own right (the latter, at least), but not my thing. And just try to tell me Fake Empire doesn't have that Nick Cave vocal going for it. Then again, what do I know? I'll probably just end up getting Black Light on CD. Just moved and have yet to hook up my turntable, and am going through serious Calexico withdrawl.
