All right, I've got pictures. I'm going to post them, and you guys can criticize as necessary. :)

I didn't realize I'd taken so many of Mike. Come to think of it, I took a lot of him in Nashville too- those photos aren't developed yet however.

Rilo Kiley is AWESOME. They opened for Coldplay at their concert last Saturday and they were fantastic! I took a looksee at Barsuk's website - lots of bands I really like!

I was considering going to Coldplay to see Rilo Kiley.

After that, I would have left, though... I'll wait til they come back near me either as the headliner, or as a support to a band I actually like.

You may very well have an opinion of them already, but http://www.thelongwinters.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1409

Of Montreal.... I hear they are good! I'll definitely give them a listen. Thanks!

liking john vanderslice will earn you cool points on this board.
also, he is just really good - but that's an opinion, of course

Duly noted, Liesbeth! Thanks!

And Nada Surf of course! (you might want to get started with "Let Go")

by **Jeannette311** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 10:02 am

Yep, Nada Surf IS good (from what I listened to years ago).... I really should get some actual albums.

ooooooh john vanderslice. <3
ooooooh nada surf. <3

on a somewhat unrelated note, i've been listening to the weakerthans lately.

Weakerthans gets you points here! Sometimes I feel responsible for the inaccessible hard-coreness of current Propagandi...I frequently wished for a whole album of just those biting, beautiful ballads. And what do you know...The Weakerthans. I love. (but I kinda miss my Jesus H. Chris.)

Anywho, nice pics to whoever posted them. I very much appreciate.

Since this album was just rereleased on Domino Records, the almighty http://www.pitchforkmedia.com just re-reviewed it, with a new historical perspective on the album, sicne it's been out for seven years now, and gave it a 10.0! I can only remember one other album recieving a perfect 10 from p-fork (and they review 5 albums a day), which was, you guessed it, Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

by **theplacidcasual** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 2:07 pm

why in the world was it re-released?

is all the elephant 6 stuff getting re-released?

ive never checked out pitchforkmedia - but the few times ive heard it mentioned by my friends - it was with disdain

np-slobberbone_everything you thought was right was wrong today

by **Yarn** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 3:21 pm

Haha, I thought the same thing "Why is being re-released?"

Everyone who is going to buy that album, owns it already. And it was released on Merge, we're not talking super-indie. It's EASY to get a hold of.

I don't know about other E6 bands. I THINK, that a few others are getting their albums put back out there again on Domino. OTC, maybe. Apples? Dunno- can't remember.

Also, if you're a Clap Your Hands fan, do you like Wolf Parade?

by **theplacidcasual** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 9:50 am

i think so - or maybe thats wolf colonel ... or wolvie ... ill check em out if i dont already have em ... thanks

lately ive been playing the hell out of shudder to think and major organ

np-spoon_girls can tell

by **Yarn** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 2:34 pm

Well, the new Wolf Parade album came out on Sub Pop. And my god, there was so much hype around that release. And I checked it out and it's really good, and the first comparison I thought of, was Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, mainly as a result of the similar vocal-stylings.
