Yeah, I've heard some of his more recent-ish solo stuff, but "Great White Shark" is less than a month old so I thought I'd open with that. :)

Is the thread title meant to be followed by 'WHERE DID IT COME FROM?' or is it something else?

It's open to interpretation, but I like the "where did it come from?" idea.

New Cloud Nothings seems good after one listen, a little more aggro than their last one but still catchy.
aggro is good. the drummer sounds pretty sick, too.

albini production is always good for drummers. i still really like that album. not sure what makes them so good when they're doing a pretty standard pop-punk think but whatever it is, it works.
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 19 January 2012 19:04 (1 year ago) Permalink
i dunno either. they seem very contemporary while also obviously 90s-reminiscent. but without the distasteful preciousness or insipidity of marquee indie music of the past 10 years. they actually sound like a rock band.

Fun. - "We Are Young" ft. Janelle Monáe
― Bee OK, Saturday, 28 January 2012 03:43 (1 year ago) Permalink
hear that on KROQ on the way home tonight and is sort of catchy
Like the ramshakle quality to the Cloud Nothings. Doesn't all work, but the short, sharp songs tumbling over each other, none outstaying their welcome, makes for good, fun listening.
The new Sleigh Bells track, "Comeback Kid" is pretty good too. One of their more Lush-esque type songs.
― DavidM, Saturday, 28 January 2012 15:30 (1 year ago) Permalink
In the long run I think I may prefer last year's Cloud Nothings album but the new one will be an album of the year contender all year.
fun is so much better in theory than in practice - the songs are just not good, especially the melodies - and like the new weezer albums, make those old Format albums seem worse in retrospect. "Tonight we are young"? That's supposed to be a hook?

i really like lots of that album, but felt that partic track to be one of the weaker moments. 'minor keys' is probably the high point of that record for me
― fitzroy institution (electricsound), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 23:12 (1 year ago) Permalink
i was turned off by the singer's delivery for the most part but i think the disaffected and louche way he sings this gives it an ironic twist that really fits w/how sloppy and teenage the whole track is. like hes practically rolling his eyes on the 'uh-ohs' in a really bratty but appealing way

Haiku Salut are lovely. I still have a soft spot for their previous band The Deirdres who I know were way over the twee line for a lot of people. Seeing Haiku Salut on Thursday, have only previously seen them through a church window at Indietracks, looking forward to it hugely.

HELP, trying to pin down an indie song I heard on local radio saturday morning. kind of highlife/jonny marr-esque guitar riff, chorus is something like "dont try something unless youre careful" (at least thats what it sounds like). im thinking its a well known indie act (thought it was two door cinema club but tis not) as the local station wouldnt play anything too obscure.
