PrintCrappy ending to the Rangers season, maybe that means this is a time for some LSB communal bonding. Here's some relatively new music I've recently come across that I think is good and worthy of sharing. You got any new stuff you've been listening to that is any good? This isn't 75 words so here's some more words until we get there.
Band of Skulls - I Know What I Am
Mew - Beach
Washed Out - New Theory
Deer Tick - Art Isn't Real

Why is it...
that when anyone mentions drugs on this blog you come up?
Because you have said you smoked a little weed? I’m willing to bet 80% of the people on this board have done that.
Not sure why you are the punchline to every drug joke around here.

Haven't listened to much new music lately...
..but I did get the new Jay-Z album (Blueprint III). It’s not bad, but I had already heard the 3 songs I like best (D.O.A-I’m convinced it doesn’t get more airplay because it makes fun of half of the other songs on hip hop stations right now, Run This Town, Empire State of Mind). I like what he’s moved towards since the Black Album (more live/jazz band incorporation) and he does more of it here than with American Gangster.
Just googling for the song names brought up this link if you want to listen:

That’s how they’re making their money. I remember hearing modest mouse on a honda commercial or something and was like “what the fuck?” but have come to understand it. I mean there’s no radio station except for sat radio that plays these bands so they have to get exposure somehow.
I still get pissed when I hear huge bands from the 60’s have songs on TV commercials. Rolling Fucking Stones, for example. And didn’t Michael Jackson own the Beatles or something? I’m sure they’ll be selling everything now.

There’s this panhandler by my work… When I stop to shoot the bullshit with him he periodically says “everything is everything.” He’s married with two girlfriends, so it’s usually around when he’s talking about them. “Y’know, everything is everything.”
I want him to hear that song, I was thinking of this today actually. Did not see him though.
All that aside, 1901 is my favorite Phoenix song. Maybe my favorite single of 2009.

I read a study by some psychologists on this...
We are all basically in love with the music that we ‘discover’ from the time we’re 18-24. After that, we may like other things, but generally those songs/bands will always be considered “best.” As we get older, we apparently tend to like newer music less and less.

Yes, free radio sucks.
Get satellite radio. Or read about new music and listen to what other people recommend. Put the Nickelback and Dautry down.
Did I or did I not just rephrase my statement?
98% of all the new music on free radio sucks gigantic dong.
Don’t get your black-frame glasses in a twist there, buddy.
Here, I’ll even name-drop a few hipster bands that I enjoy, you tell me if you like them too:
Spoon, The Shins, and Fleet Foxes.
Also, isn't it just as bad that you automatically assume I don't know my shit about music?
What if I thought 98% of ALL new music sucked? Would that mean I don’t know shit about music, or would it make me more of a music snob? Would it just be my opinion, or fact? Hmmmm.

I never said I was a music genius either...
Radio poppy music is terrible. My initial post was too harsh, and too general. I didn’t mean ALL new music, I meant the new “popular” music is terrible (in my opinion anyways).
Now that I can agree with.
I am sort of convinced that people like the stuff on the radio because they literally don’t know any better – they just aren’t exposed to enough good new music to know that most of the stuff you hear is pretty awful.
by FuturePants on Sep 30, 2009 11:45 AM CDT up reply actions
I know there is the "in my day" homerism...
but honestly, this generation of music just does not compare to the 90’s as far as what’s popular and what’s on the radio.
That's a function of the business of radio, though.
It’s not evidence of less good music out there. Radio is almost a monopoly by Clear Channel. They promote the bands they are putting on tour, it’s that simple.
by FuturePants on Sep 30, 2009 11:49 AM CDT up reply actions
A lot of what I hear on the radio now...
sounds like a re-hash of 80’s music. Franz Ferdinand, The Killers.. I don’t know. I mean, they’re definitely talented. It just sounds like they’re ripping off another generation.
Or
People just like it.
It seems an odd argument to suggest that people put something on the market and consumers will buy literally whatever it is, with absolutely no discernment. The more logical explanation is that more people like what you term “awful” music than don’t, and thus record companies and radio stations give people what they want.
by brettgardner on Sep 30, 2009 11:58 AM CDT up reply actions
Or
It’s on the radio because the radio station is pushing the bands they back.
The more logical explanation is that without competition or alternatives, the general public only has one choice as to what to listen to, and they like whatever they hear on there just fine and are content to roll with what they hear. Most people do not want to investigate music and try to find stuff that is better – they are ok with just listening to what the radio puts in front of them.
by FuturePants on Sep 30, 2009 12:04 PM CDT up reply actions
That's ridiculous.
For one, in a place like Dallas, there are a ton of choices for music on the radio itself. Second, it’s hardly the case that people don’t or can’t get music from other sources than KISS FM—that’s just complete bullshit that you assume for no reason. It’s elitist to the highest degree to assume that “most people” do something dumber than you just because you don’t like the result.
But again, WHY would a radio station back a band? They don’t just pull random douches off the street and “back” them. They back what more people want—whether it’s listening, seeing, or watching live. Your theory is completely opposite of how markets work.
by brettgardner on Sep 30, 2009 12:10 PM CDT up reply actions
For being a law student, you have poor reading comprehension skills.
There are a lot of radio stations, sure, but how many play new music? Not many.
I never said anything about backing random douches off the street. In 2000, people liked the Backstreet Boys. Crazy for them, in fact. The Backstreet Boys were pushed by Clear Channel and their PR machine, which had more money than, say, Death Cab for Cutie or Modest Mouse.
I picked those two bands because they both had solid albums in 2000 (We Have the Facts… and Moon and Antarctica, respectively), but neither band got big until way later – after they had a breakout radio hit or two.
Does the fact that people ate up the Backstreet Boys mean that most people thought they were better than Death Cab and Modest Mouse in 2000? Or does it mean that their PR machine was an absolute monster, and Death Cab and Modest Mouse did not have the same finances backing them, so the “good” bands were left to obscurity while the Backstreet Boys ruled the airwaves?
In short, you are naive.

So, in your opinion, if millions upon millions of pre-teen girls had heard Death Cab for Cutie, they would have instantly dumped the good-looking guys with cheesy love songs for the fat blob with quirks?

It's not because they just don't know any better.
Lowest common denominator determines popularity in music. Most people don’t spend a lot of time in deep thinking about the music they listen to, they just buy stuff that catches their ear in a favorable way. Just like most people don’t think long and hard about what beer they drink, they just buy Coors Lite or whatever and get on with their day.
Everyone has niche areas of their life that they care more about and have a bit of a connoisseur in them about. likewise, everyone has areas they don’t care as much about and don’t care to discern “good” from “bad” according to some standard of excellence.
In other words, for some things we all want what we think is “good”. In others, “good enough” will do.

I mean, seriously. I used to care about music more, but never enough to explore the depths of the indie music scene. Since I knew I would never be the type to devote the huge amount of time+money, I’m ok with good. It doesn’t mean I like backstreet boys (N’sync, duh!), but it also means I’ve never heard of people listed in original post.
Traditionally for me, I’ve liked music you can dance to. Rap, Swing, Salsa, Pop, etc. I spend a lot less time going out now than in college, so my music tastes are trending more towards indie rock. But I doubt I’ll ever buy 40 new ones in a year.

open your fucking ears
There’s a lot of good music out there now.
I grew up in the grunge era that so many people remember so fondly, and holy shit if a lot of that didn’t suck ass. Some of it was good but most of it just did not endure. And it’s the same way with music of every era. Go back to the late sixties and you’ll hear some of the most unlistenable shit you can imagine. I have family with record collections. Much of it is great — that’s how I discovered the 13th Floor Elevators — but so much of it is just fucking hopelessly awful.
But seriously do not listen to radio. I haven’t heard a good radio station I guess since the first low wattage, pre-mormon “The Edge” was on the air almost 20 years ago. It’s all corporate now and the DJs play whatever the record companies tell them to, or at least that’s what it sounds like to me.

I can point you to some music websites that can help you with your problem, but saying there’s a lack of fresh ideas is simply one of the stupidest and obviously uninformed things one can say about new music.

Has it changed our culture the way it did with Vietnam? Has it spawned off 50 fucking million genres and subgenres of music out there like the music from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s?

I think all of those bands have some very fresh sounds. Maybe you disagree, I have no idea, but if you can say one of those sounds like Band or Album X or Y, I’d be curious to see what you compare them to and who they are ripping off.
And not having a massive political impact does not mean the sounds are not fesh. New music doesn’t have to alter the social undercurrent in opposition to a war to be good or new or creative.

huh?
Most of the music you’ve listed is just a hodge-podge of other musical influences
So……..Exactly what music do you listen to that isn’t influenced by other music?
You only listen to ancient drumming? Are you mad that those may have been stolen from chimp mating rituals?
Do you just listen to recordings of birds singing or something?
"You'll meet them again on their long journey to the middle." -Lester Bangs
Music back in the day was influenced by other music obviously.
I suppose my argument is that music was more fundamentally raw in the old days and didn’t have many of the modern luxuries that music has today; and this is in regards to whatever capacity you wanna talk about: recording, reaching an audience, experimentation with different arrangements / different genres, whatever…
Kraftwerk, King Tubby, The Ramones, Edgard Varèse, James Brown, Dizzy Gillespie… these are people that changed the way music could be perceived.
TV On The Radio is good stuff, but in my opinion, it’s not breaking any new ground sonically. I listen to TV On The Radio and it’s like I’m listening to Peter Gabriel sometimes

Honestly..
The problem is that a lot of artists are trying way too hard to be different. A lot of them are trying WAY too hard. It’s mostly exaggerated folk nowadays.
I like Fleet Foxes, but they are certainly not “fresh” at all. Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young) anyone?
I'd agree that 98% of ALL music sucks
and it has always been that way. New music is no better or worse than it ever was.

this is pretty accurate
the big difference is that barriers to recording, distributing, or otherwise exhibiting music are much less significant now, which probably tends to make it seem like there is more worse music around.

Yep.
1) 98% of all music sucks and it has always been that way.
2) There is always good old day syndrome and the music of a person’s teens and twenties were better than the music when they are 40 and 50.
3) Music gets less important to folks as they get older.

I disagree with #3
that is a blanket statement that doesn’t apply to at least professional musicians such as myself. As for #2 that seems right for most people. Personally I tend to float back from genre to genre in popular styles from time to time, but listen to more classical than anything else, so the “good old days” are very old for me, as in mostly pre-1900.

Well,
like all generalizations, they are probably wrong a minority of the time.
I know most musicians I went to high school with used to get menial part time jobs to supplement what they made playing in clubs at night. Now that they are in their 40s and 50s, a lot of them only play for special events with family and friends, and are selling insurance or whatever.

I remember Lisa wearing that Fire jersey everywhere back in the day. She and my ex-roommate used to work together at Mad Hatter’s. If you remember the local band Elysian Fields, he was the guitarist.
I really need to see the Toadies again- I’ve been listening to No Deliverance a lot lately after hearing “Nothing to Cry About” and “I Want Your Love” on Sons of Anarchy this season.

No Deliverance is underrated. It obviously didn’t get the pub that their old albums did, but it’s very good.

Yeah I remember Elysian Fields
Can’t remember that guy’s name, though. Hung out at Mat Hatter’s a whole lot and eventually the Engine Room when they moved.
I stopped going to Toadies shows when they got super popular. It wasn’t being a snob…it was just the crowds that got to me. Some of my favorite times back then was when they were waiting forever and ever for Interscope to release Rubberneck. They got so sick of waiting they made another EP in the meantime called “Y’r Cute”, which I think is some of their best work. Anyway this was like in 1992 or something and a friend of mine had this CD burner but it wasn’t hooked up to a computer or anything. It just pressed CDs and that was it. Anyway if he didn’t make all of the EPs in his bedroom he made most of them.
I saw them again while in college. I think they’d broke up and reunited or something and played some festival in Dallas. I was so high I don’t even remember where it was but I didn’t like the tunes they were playing. It was mostly new stuff.
Now and then I’ll still listen to Santacide and I Burn and Not In Love (Talking Heads cover) but that’s about it. Every great now and then I’ll break out Caulk’s “Love American Style” and a Baboon record I can’t remember the name of right now. I actually listen to them more than I do Toadies.

Baboon
I’ve seen them play a number of times- they used to open a lot for Brutal Juice, which was pretty much my favorite local band ever.
The Elysian Fields guitarist was Erik Liverman- we roomed together my last year in college and for a couple years after. I still stay in touch with the drummer, Bruce Alford- we’ve known each other since my junior year of college. I also went to school with Doug Kershaw (Tabula Rasa, Sunward)- we’ve known each other since elementary school.
Mad Hatter’s and the Engine Room? Man, that brings back a ton of memories. A lot of them involving me and my friends being completely wasted, and trying to decide afterwards if the Waffle House was a good idea at 3 AM.

There’s no telling how many times I’ve seen them live. I actually avoided them when Brutal Juice was playing. That’s a band I just couldn’t get into.
I remember Tabula Rasa. One of the first local bands I liked. There was also Killbilly and some other band that I was really into back then. Fort Worth used to have it’s own little music scene.
Back to Baboon, though. I haven’t heard much of their later stuff, but people who think there’s no original music out there should try to find some of the early stuff they had out on Grass. One record in particular was outstanding but I still can’t remember the name of it. Had “American Dream” on it.

Good call
on Passion Pit. Liked what I heard of Dirty Projectors but they are playing at the same time as Passion Pit so I will likely miss them on Sunday. White Lies is good, too. Love some Morrisey so that is fantastic. The Girl Talk is freakin’ awesome! Didn’t realize the drill with the guy when I first clicked on the link.

Is it even worse that I don’t really care to hear any of it either?

I got your country back
Love Lambert and Dierks Bentley as far as mainstream. and though I hate to admit it I seem to always enjoy frickin Kenny Chesney. We Went Out Last Night ended up in regular rotation this summer.
My favorite country album this year is the new Radney Foster album(Revival). Nothing else has come close.
I tend to enjoy “texas” country more than “mainstream”. My favorite band probably being Randy Rogers. Check out Brandon Rhyder if you haven’t already. Enjoy Eli Young Band as well
….and my guilty pleasure is Taylor Swift. I’ve got two young daughters and I must say I don’t mind cruising to Swift. Talent out the wazoo. I think she writes most/all of her stuff. Quite impressive, especially when compared to other young “stars”.

Yeah, I really like the Eli Young band too
I haven’t really listen to country radio in awhile, but Gary Allan and Lady Antebellum are probably my other faves besides Miranda. They’re both supposed to releasing new albums sometime in the near future, I think (I know Lady A’s is supposed to be in November, not really sure about Allan’s though). There’s also some Keith Urban stuff I really like, although he can be kinda hit and miss (same with Chesney, really). I’ll throw out Dwight Yoakam and Pat Greene as a couple other artists I really like.
I’ve never really liked Taylor Swift’s stuff per se (and I must say, her stage performances at the awards shows never fail to make me roll my eyes) but you do have to respect her writing abilites. She’s definitely more impressive than Underwood or Kellie Pickler.
I’ll have to check out that Foster album.

is definitely a younger man’s game. i have a hard time figuring out how these people who consume (or try to consume) that much music really get anything meaningful out of most of it. i’m sure there are some fine gems in all of the bands being mentioned so far, but sifting through the heaps of generic garbage to find them seems like a sisyphean task.

I know I'm gonna be in the VAST minority here, but...
I REALLY like Daughtry’s new album from this summer. It’s one of the best all-around albums I’ve ever heard. He’s got the hard rock stuff, some country-type songs, as well as really solid, thorough tracks that show off his talent vocally and his band’s musical prowess. And yeah I’m a Nickelback fan too (in fact, they’re my favorite band), so let the shots begin I suppose…
P.S. – I’m pissed at Creed for taking 3/4 of Alter Bridge back. They were so much better than Creed ever was.

Part of me wants to say terrible things...
but to each his own I guess….I mean, I hate Wavves as much as I hate Nickleback

everytime somebody mentions liking Nickelback or Daughtry, I think of
that douchebag band from ‘School of Rock’ (“No Vacancy”).

Hungry thought I could survive on you.

Creed, Nickelback, Daughtry.
Well then.

never understood
why people hate on Daughtry, et al fans. Is there a problem with genero Rock music? If it makes one turn up their radio, roll down their widow, and scream sing a song I would call that “good” music.
I like pretty much all music. I have different tastes for different moods. What I like at the gym is different than when I’m driving. When reading I like totally different music, etc, etc, etc. We each get to create our own “soundtrack” to our respective lives and if your entire soundtrack is chock full of Fleet Foxes and others of that ilk……Well then.

probably because he started out on 'that karaoke show'
he was created to be a star by a massive corporate enterprise, spoon-fed to the masses.

people that think the only music out there
is on FM radio and on American Idol.
I admit that Daughtry is probably the best thing on FM radio.
It’s like saying that Sarah Jessica Parker is the hottest chick on Sex and the City though.

You didn't understand
I wasn’t asking a question, I was making a statement.
People like that stuff. What do you care?

This is why music snobs are annoying.
“Who cares where a musician comes from or how much support they get, if they make good music, they deserve credit for it” —>Great method for getting people to spend more time investigating music
“You’re a complete and utter moron who can barely walk up right for thinking that any music you like is good because you haven’t spent 10 hours on google investigating their backstories and finding out where their next show is going to be” —>Great method for getting people to tell you to go play in the street and turn up their latest Kelly Clarkson CD
Music can be good even if it comes from big corporations with fancy production teams. It can be bad, too. Same can be said for indie rock bands.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?

meh
I’ve been anti-corporate music ever since Milli Vanilli got exposed.
Just a personal choice, i suppose.
For the record, I don’t lecture people for liking bad music (it’s their own choice), I just keep my thoughts to myself for the most part.

Eh, it's OK, GhettoBear
I freely admit to being a bit of a music snob (particularly in my days as a local music journalist) but when I start to get that way too much, I remind myself that I own three Kylie Minogue albums. And actually like her music.

I was mostly just commenting on the progression of that paragraph.
I probably should have typed it Daughtry, Nickelback, Creed. Just a funny progression.
Don’t worry, I’ll probably get made fun of for putting Converge as one of my favorite albums this year.
I just don’t get defensive/butthurt about these things because it’s the internet.

Oh I know.
But I’ve never really considered them an accessible band. I hated them for a good year or so after discovering them.
Only after listening to Jane Doe all the way through, did it click.

Still sad about that one.

I'll be at ACL all weekend.
I had a paper route when I was a kid. I was supposed to go to 2,000 houses. Or two dumpsters.

Sunday
Wasn’t able to do the three days but have tix for Sunday and will be there by 1-2p. Should be amazing. How bad can a weekend be when it ends with 2 hours of Pearl Jam?!

My girlfriend is going
I wish I could go. Dr. Dog kicks ass. I saw them in Fort Worth — highly recommend them on Friday.
That's why they call them business sox
YES.
Dr. Dog is one of my favorites.

Can anyone recommend some good reggaeton?
Not the easiest genre to explore.
I’d also welcome some Ibrahim Ferreresque cubanorican recs. Loves me some Tito Puente.
Neftali Feliz says sit your 5 dollar ass down before he makes change...
Hi, Keith. Is this the year Edinson Volquez finally wins RoY?
I really don't like reggaeton very much as a genre
But Daddy Yankee and Don Omar just have generally good music period.

Sorry brotha
KOL rock and, now that I have been introduced to the greatness of White Lies, I would be beyond excited to be at that show.

Converge - Axe To Fall during the recording sessions. If you don't mosh around your living room to this, you fail.

I thought Max was an indie rock snob, I stand corrected.
Not bad…I hear a little Slayer in there, for sure. Talk about a band to mosh to, ah, good times :)

Eh, I'm more of a metal/hardcore guy than indie rock, personally.
