Agreed - This is a really good album. Not quite on par with "Midnight Organ Fight", but aside from that, as good as anything FR has done.Frightened Rabbits 'Pedestrian Verse' - my fav album of 2013 so far
Bonered, as always.New Thermals tune. Entire mp3 folder comes out in April.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ke4h95pue-w
Whoa, blast from the past. For something released in January 2013, it holds up pretty well.Foxygen album is really good, I will admit I am a little late to that one. Also like Foals 'Holy Fire' which was released today.
Thanks for the link, downloaded it earlier Ive been aware of them for awhile, but never really followed up to give their albums a proper listen. When I heard their Im A King Bee cover on that liquor commercial (Jack Daniels' Honey?), I tracked down what band is was. Gave all their albums including the new one a listen today, right in my wheelhouse. I think their S/T debut is my favorite, but all 3 are good. The new one Small Fires definitely has a more expansive sound. The single, Everybody Knows, sounds like quintessential pre-Beggar's Banquet Rolling Stones. Good tune!Two songs from the new album (releasing tomorrow) and their entire last album (which I fn love in its entirity) available here for free: http://noisetrade.com/thestonefoxes/bears--bullThe Stone Foxes have a new album coming out in February that I am pretty excited about.
,S, I'm with Bieber hereBlack Keys vs. Bieber beef.Pretty rich of Black Keys guy ####ting on somebody for making dough.
Dont know anything about this, but Auerbach said years ago they wanted to be as popular as possible, playing arenas, so good music was back as popular music and in the forefront. Now I definitely hear their music in more commercials and such than I care for (although I know they sued Pizza Hut and some other franchise for using their music illegally/without consent), and while I prefer their earlier albums, the music hasnt suffered in their rise to fame so I cant rip on them too much.Black Keys vs. Bieber beef.Pretty rich of Black Keys guy ####ting on somebody for making dough.
So ideologically, how are they any different from Bieber? If someone wants their music in car commercials that's fine, but there's more than a faint whiff of hypocrisy here.Dont know anything about this, but Auerbach said years ago they wanted to be as popular as possible, playing arenas, so good music was back as popular music and in the forefront.

Ideologically, probably not much. My point was theyre huge but theyre actually still making good music unlike Bieber and 97% of popular music.

They're getting rich and famous by writing and creating good music where Bieber is getting rich and famous for having an army of others writing and creating bad music for him and then just being a cute kid who can dance?And yes, they have "sold-out", but that doesn't mean what it used to. I think Ian MacKaye is probably the lone man standing who wont budge with having somebody PAY HIM to get his music heard to a broader audience.So ideologically, how are they any different from Bieber?Dont know anything about this, but Auerbach said years ago they wanted to be as popular as possible, playing arenas, so good music was back as popular music and in the forefront.

You asked how they are ideologically different. I answered you. I'm not getting into a ninth grade argument over who is a sellout and why. I know Dan and took exception to the idea that he has done anything to take away from the quality or integrity of his music. You won't meet anybody as dedicated as he is to doing things the right way. After the music is done, if people want to give him money to spread it around, he's happy to take it.Patsy Cline didn't write or arrange a lot of the songs that she sang.

Seems to me that he has done a considerable amount more when it comes to making money than sit back passively and accept what's given to him, not that there's anything nothing wrong with that, imo.You asked how they are ideologically different.

I dug their first album. New album out?Nobody else on Unknown Mortal Orchestra?
Yes. I like it.I dug their first album. New album out?Nobody else on Unknown Mortal Orchestra?
I don't care who is a "sell out" and who isn't. I listen to plenty of music that's used in commercials and such. I love the Ramones, and they made a lot of ####ty records as an attempt to get on the radio. But you're saying one makes good music and one makes crummy music, which is completely subjective. Even someone as snooty as yourself has to realize this on some level. Similarly, I'm sure that you also realize that a team of producers can make a song that's superior to a song that some guy just makes alone in his bedroom.You asked how they are ideologically different. I answered you. I'm not getting into a ninth grade argument over who is a sellout and why.
"Excuse me sir, you dropped something."I know Dan
I never said anything of the sort. I only pointed out the hypocrisy of him saying that Justin Bieber cares about money, and he cares about music. They're both professional musicians. They both make music that is -- to varying degrees -- commercially accessible. They both allow their music to be used by gigantic corporations to sell their products, in exchange for money. I don't have a problem with any of these things, but again, they're fundamentally the same.and took exception to the idea that he has done anything to take away from the quality or integrity of his music.

Somewhat surprising.'Good said:On board with Foxygen, btw.

I work with a guy named Dan. Might not be the same guy, though.For the record: I don't know Dan.
I have heard it's outstanding, but it isn't on Spotify yet.Still no talk of the MBV record? The last three tracks are easily the best stretch of music I've heard so far this year.
I'll check it. Sounds rad.Anyone else digging the Growlers? It's definitely very washed out, surfer rock, and sounds like it is from 1965, but I am a loving this album. I am glad Apple Jack's buddy didn't end up producing it, this raw sound compliments their style so well.
Leaked. Sounds very strong.I think I mentioned it in other threads. They moved the release back from Sept to Jan to Feb 26, but they increased from 10 songs to 14. They also came up with a much better cover for the record. I've heard about half the songs live and it is may be their finest work ever. Paul Deakin described it to me as similar to Trampoline, which is their best album in my opinion.Someone mentioned it, but it bears repeating here: The Mavericks have a new album coming out in January.

A couple of the other songs are a little too "sleepy" but those two songs and a few others I really like a lot.I can listen to the end of in another way and all of wonder 2 on an endless loop until the cows come home.'Leroy Hoard said:youtubers of each songI have heard it's outstanding, but it isn't on Spotify yet.Still no talk of the MBV record?
