Interpol and hot water music are some dank ass bands. Interpol is like my favorite band behind pink floyd. Rock on.
Awesome man! Have you heard the new Bright Eyes album 'Cassadaga'? Its AMAZING. I live about 5 mins from the Cassadaga in Upstate NY- also a big spiritualist community. The Shins are a great band too- I recently picked up their new one "Wincing The Night Away" and I'm enjoying that also. Im a HUGE indie-dork. A few bands I listen to: Modest Mouse The Flaming Lips Bright Eyes The Shins Bjork Cursive Death Cab For Cutie The Postal Service Wilco The White Stripes Dallas Green Sufjan Stevens Motion City Soundtrack etc. etc.
Bright eyes has been my favorite band for ages. but cassadaga SUCKED. His older tunes were way better. They had individuality whereas they were like a personal story being told (Lets not shit ourselves, Bowl of Oranges, shit even this stuff on his first album Water). Look at space invaders and lava monster. Hes trying to take his stuff into a new direction with more backup vocals etc. Dissapointing. I only liked 3 or 4 songs off that album. ps the shins wincing the night away is sex. should check out amy winehouse. Shes picking up were lilly allan has left off (the drunk cancelled her whole NA tour).
ps grab the movie spend an evening with saddle creek. bought it a while ago and still watch it every now and then.
If you folks like modest mouse check out Ugly Casanova. Its Isaac Brocks (lead singer) spin off band. Love that shit.
Iron and Wine... they are acoustic preety good IMO. and no I dont have Bright Eyes new album but it would be hard to beat the old stuff. I need to check that out
That would be my exact list, just minus Motion City Soundtrack and Dallas Green and add on The Pixies. I'm going through a Sufjan Stevens binge right now, sooo amazing.
