Buffalo Tom are excellent. I still pull out Let Me Come Over all the time, and the self titled album, too, though less so. Interesting coincidence seeing Buffalo Tom making a new record at the same time as Dino Jr's, given that J mixed their debut (as well as contributing a little guitar). I never did hear Birdbrain or the other stuff - anyone know if its any good?

 

And yeah, intodeep, Mastodon are awesome.

 

 

I heard the new Buffalo Tom pre-release, and it's ok. Not bad, just not really necessary.

[Arsene]

Going back to my MS roots; these were all great bands, that never got much internet love:

 

Blue Mountain

Charlie Mars

Slow Moses

[uncle wilco]

random 5:

 

red guitar

radney foster

jason falkner

silversun pickups

glen phillips

 

 

i'm not that indie "hip" and i don't care to be.

[thejokeexplained]

Neutral Milk Hotel. If your favorite Wilco is YHF, do your self a favor and pick up their release "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"

They are no longer a active band yet they are on M.Ward's and Arcade Fires Merge roster.

[Oil Can Boyd]

I actually think it is their best since Let Me Come Over. I really dig it.

> ozark mountain daredevils

 

didnt know they had any other songs apart from Jackie blue (which i quite love)

 

I never read it in a book

I never saw it on a show

but I heard it in the alley

on a weird radio

if you want a drink of water

you got to get it from a well

if you want to get to heaven

you got to raise a little hell

 

I never felt it in my feet

I never felt it in my soul

but I heard it the alley

now it's in my rock and roll

if you want to know a secret

you got to promise not to tell

if you want to get to heaven

you got to raise a little hell

 

I never thought it'd be so easy

I never though it'd be so fun

but I heard it in the alley

now I got it on the run

if you want to see an angel

you got to find it where it fell

if you want to get to heaven

you got to raise a little hell

 

if you want to get to heaven

if you want to get to heaven

if you want to get to heaven

if you want to get to heaven

if you want to get to heaven

if you want to get to heaven

if you want to get to heaven

if you want to get to heaven

Impossible to read these lyrics, and not think of Jessco White.

The usual lesser-known California bands I plug around here:

 

The Mother Hips (just brought out a new album recently that's excellent)

The Court & Spark (and their current side project Hiss Golden Messenger)

Billy Midnight (their self-titled first album is awesome, alas, out of print...PM me if you want to take a listen)

 

The former two bands have opened for Wilco at some point in their respective careers.

[Gregor Samsa]

To start by name-dropping four local bands:

 

The Go-Betweens (They define 'underrated'.)

Augie March

The Church

Dirty Three.

 

Great bands one and all.

Too bad Grant McLennan died recently...

Judas!

[Lammycat]

The Mother Hips (just brought out a new album recently that's excellent)

These cats have been around for awhile. It's been a little bit of time since I've seen them but they're a great live band.

[LouieB]

The Court & Spark (and their current side project Hiss Golden Messenger)

I saw these guys open for the Autumn Defense and they blew the home town boys out of the water....

The Whiles - if you're in Central Ohio

I am. Tell me more.

[Willkoman]

The Reducers, hometown heroes from New London, Connecticut. Chose not to put the bar code on their best CD. That in turn kept it out of all major retailers.
