goodnote Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 time to show off my amazing music taste! i'm going to do this a bit differently. Instead of posting a myspace link (frankly, i hate it when people post myspace shit everywhere.) I'm just going to upload a song. hopefully my dearest mods are okay with this. first off, 1. Rilo Kiley I found out about these guys when they were passing out flyers at a show. I never really looked into them until my friend put them on a mix for me. they are truly amazing. they're kind of hard to describe. Kind of eisley/tegan and sara mix. The Good That Won't Come Out - Rilo Kiley http://www.sendspace.com/file/1gnb61 2. AKissForJersey This is a local band that is actually making it somewhere. I found out about them when my friend's friend started dating the guitarist. (15 vs 19, he's kind of a pedo) but, since I knew the merch guy previously, i got a FREE! cd. and i procedded to fall in love. and it's kind of awesome, cause they're kind of a 'legend' around here, but I can go to the mall and see them. (they kind of live there) Father Part The Clouds - AkissForJersey http://www.sendspace.com/file/o0qsfk 3. Cocteau Twins This band has long broken up. My dad introduced me to them when I was about 9 years old in a library parking lot. The older people on the boards will probably like this a lot. They have about 9 albums and 10 EPs, and all are absolute masterpieces. I was torn between two songs to post, so... Bluebeard - Cocteau Twins http://www.sendspace.com/file/eisnda Persephone - Cocteau Twins http://www.sendspace.com/file/g31rhb 4. Tegan and Sara ah, good ole' tegan and sara. You've probably heard of them. They're Canadian. Kind of folkish/indie. just good. I know I know I know - Tegan and Sara http://www.sendspace.com/file/6h0g9x 5. Denali This another one i found out from my dad. They have a girl singer, and are kind of mellow. over all, they're great. French Mistake - Denali http://www.sendspace.com/file/tqtzqe 6. The Sounds I actually found out about the guys from a dude that started talking to me at Starbucks. I ended up seeing them at Warped and bought the CD for like 6 bucks. They're from Helsingborg, Sweden and are fronted my a women. Ego - The Sounds http://www.sendspace.com/file/89mwcp 7. FischerSpooner here's another I found out from my dad. From what I can understand, they've been around for a while, but kept up with the times. Their sound is very technoish. which is good to some extent. Cloud - FischerSpooner http://www.sendspace.com/file/4glqrs 8. Days Away They are one of the best bands around at the moment. I got into them when i saw them when they were opening for circa survive. They pretty much blew me away. I can't really think of anything to compare them to. God and Mars - Days Away http://www.sendspace.com/file/1xdac5 9. Sullivan I actually found out about these guys when I saw this girl at my school wearing their shirt. Nice to know selling/giving away for free merch actually works. Spencer Chamberlain's brother is the drummer. woo. They sound sort of generic, but something for me just sticks out. The Charity of Saint Elizabeth - Sullivan http://www.sendspace.com/file/c8yxyg 10. Paulson I heard about them of that Bastard's of Young thing that aired on Fuse a while back, and ever since i can't stop listening. Paulson - Ultra-High http://www.sendspace.com/file/c9kp5j 11. Park These guys actually broke up a couple of weeks ago =[. Only like 2 months after I heard about them. La Amoureux - Park http://www.sendspace.com/file/gdb53z 12. Lorene Drive These guys are so amazing. I saw them at my first show when they were on a tour with Emanuel and The Audition. They are great live, and overall nice guys. Romantic Wealth is their first album and i suggest everyone go buy it this second. So Easy - Lorene Drive http://www.sendspace.com/file/5oj4rn 13. Emanuel My very influential friend found these guys about a year ago. we both fell in love and still listen to them non-stop. Even me, notorious of listening to a band for 2 weeks then becoming tired of them. this Cd, whew, it's just so good. They're about to release a record called Black Earth Tiger (I think) Breathe Underwater - Emanuel http://www.sendspace.com/file/k5icl3 14. Pretty Girls Make Graves Sadly, these guys also broke up a couple of weeks ago. They have a mixture of guys and girl singers. It’s very unique. Pretty Girls Make Graves – All Medicated Geniuses http://www.sendspace.com/file/wqnhsp 14. Hopefield I found out about these guys on absolute punk, they had a free EP download. They really remind me of Anberlin a lot. Hopefield – Be Honest http://www.sendspace.com/file/qsamqz 15. The Receiving End Of Sirens These guys are great. Sadly, the first time I saw them live I kind of fell asleep standing up =/. But they are good live, they actually sound better live than they do recorded. The War of All Against all – TREOS http://www.sendspace.com/file/53ze1o 16. Autopassion Despite the lead singer being drunk 24/7, this band was a great find on my part. I saw them live before I’d ever heard of them and the whole crowd was a huge dance party. It ended up being one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. They’re compared to The Strokes a lot. I Like Your Purse – Autopassion http://www.sendspace.com/file/1r3zjn 17. Yearling I also found out about these guys from a show. They’re really poppy, but still good. Bells – Yearling http://www.sendspace.com/file/puz3of 18. Aqualung This is really just one dude with a nice studio and a piano. He was featured on VH1’s You Oughta Know little specials. You may recognize his first single “Brighter Than Sunshine.” Musically, he’s more on the mellow side. Good Times Gonna Come – Aqualung http://www.sendspace.com/file/mfy5ja If the links die, just say something and i'll re-up them Enjoy!

senshuk3n Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Awesome bandsssss Fischerspooner's Odyssey album is one of my favorites. I actually just saw Paulson a few weeks ago playing with Daphne Loves Derby and they gave me a sampler of some songs on an album they're releasing in March under a new record label (which actually is their original album with a few new songs I believe, including a really catchy one "Calling On You"). Love the other bands you posted, too, esp. Aqualung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodnote Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I know, odyssey is by far the best. and I would totally cut off my leg to go see paulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senshuk3n Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I've seen them twice, and the last time I saw them totally impressed me! Especially their new song.
