This Is The Wost Time In Music Ever!

[Instant-Karma]

I know I will probaly get flammed for this but Matts music has been getting worse (not bad! just not as good) aswell. I was thouroughly dissapointed with WLRR, it was good but nothing compared to BM or Underdogs.

 

Nowadays its all about listening to the indie bands, and bad religion. They are old but still killer.

[CaptainRocket]

Their final album, Let it Be, should be heard in the 'Naked' version with the grey cover.  The original release was soiled by Phil Spector's over production, whereas 'Naked' keeps the orignal intent of the album, which was to be raw, and with no overdubs.

Just a little info you might not know, "Let It Be" was the last one released, but not the last one recorded. Abbey Road is actually considered the final Beatles album.

 

As for "Naked", its more the McCartney cut of the album, not to say it isnt good or anything.

Don't worry, I know all of this already, I just didn't want to make my post confusing. I figure anyone who wants to know can find out themselves with a little research.

I appreciate the concern, though.

And in my opinion, 'Naked' is the way better cut of the album, but I really don't like Spector's production on anything.

Not even the Ronettes?

 

Forshame.

There has never been a good or bad year for music. Mainstream music maybe. But music will always be music. If you look for it, you will find it.

 

Try:

 

Elliott Smith

The Decemberists

Mates of State

The Postal Service

Belle & Sebastian

Of Montreal

The Shins

Sneaker Pimps

Sparta

Zero 7

 

Those are all bands/singers that are each different from one another. I used them to give good examples from more than one category.

Every decade in music since the 60's has been more or less inferior to the one that preceded it, and this one is proving to be no exception.  That said, there's still more than enough great music to go around.  If I can make a list of my favourite 50 albums from last year, and love them all, I'm sure you can find at least 10 you'll like.

congratulations on not listing a single thing i like. i guess you're better than me, or something

[mrs jesus]

if you're sick then maybe soup would be better..

and you should probably sit on the couch all day and watch cartoons, because you can't get better without cartoons

[badseed]

i haven't watched cartoons in forever... no wonder i'm always fucking sick.

 

it's hard being sick when you live at rez in college.. all i really want to do is lay in bed and watch shit on my laptop... but nooooo, i gotta go to the mall and taking the fucking bus to go pick up my rise against tickets, and then come back and do homework... gah. i hate my life.

 

in other news, i just lost again on roll up the rim. awesome.

[mrs jesus]

the word rim always makes me think of..

 

yeah, nevermind.

 

just go to bed when you're done with everything, then you'll feel better. maybe.

I'm sure you've heard, and decided you don't like, all 50 of those. ;)

[saturnine]

OMG christy would make a bad canadian because she has no idea what roll up the rim is.

[mrs jesus]

i'm not canadian.

 

why would i know what it is?

 

tell me ;)

[saturnine]

I'm sure you've heard, and decided you don't like, all 50 of those. ;)

based on the 28% that i have heard and dislike, it is safe to assume.

[Bizud]

I've never met anyone that didn't like at least one of the: Xiu Xiu, Arcade Fire, Dungen, Ted Leo, Loretta Lynn, McLusky, or Iron and Wine records.

[saturnine]

you've never met me, either

[Bizud]

I guess. I'm pretty sure that my point, which is that anyone can find music they love if they put effort into the search, stands.

[mrs jesus]

i like sonic youth.

not loretta lynn, though.

and i like modest mouse, but not that album.

[saturnine]

[mrs jesus]

i can't tell you what an honor it was to be able to do skeletor's nails.

he has this charming aroma of death about him.
