you know i'm not actually that keen on waters of nazareth myself.
btw, i should have said up the way, that i tended to skip about on Discovery a lot - i liked some tracks a LOT and the rest, it all as an album, i wasn't actually that gonzo for. i've been playing this through start to end a lot (well in the form i have it anyway).

I'm trying to decide if I'd like Justice if I was 18.
I probably wouldn't like myself. More!

When I said indie I didn't mean indie really I suppose. I hate using genres to describe what I like and I was too lazy to name some artists but I'll rectify that now. Spiritualized, Mogwai, Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown, Dan the Automator, The Chemical Brothers, Will Oldham, Nick Drake, Primal Scream, Doves, Super Furry Animals, Spacemen 3, Simian, Slint, Tortoise, Public Enemy, Autechre, Jon Carter, Leftfield, Orbital, Miles Davis, I could go on all day. I'm not part of the indie scene at all really I suppose. Yes I may be a freak for having music as my sole interest but in a social sense other people who really like music are off the fucking wall, cut themselves, or whatever they do. Also these people tend to like shite music so perhaps my problem is that noone likes the bands I like either. The hell I have putting on a cd when I have mates around. It could be to do with me being 18, who knows. yes the message board may just help, I'm not quite suicidal yet

A typical indie kid vicar? Find me some fucking typical indie kids who like alternative country and I'll make you very rich. It said Ryan Adams not Bryan Adams, theres a difference. I see you live in Ireland too, have you any idea how fucking difficult it is to even buy a Whiskeytown cd here? I had to spend 30 quid on one fucking Will Oldham CD, and I've paid that for Spacemen 3 stuff aswell, its certainly worth it but christ if thats what everyone else is doing then I must be living under a rock or something, I don't care about liking weird stuff for the sake of it being weird, I just want to find some people who like the same stuff that I get on with, given the points I made about the bands above its pretty unlikely without the internet.

ronan invoked himself at 18, sure, but still feels a little wrong to dig up history like that. especially with the search function so crippled.
the chemical brothers have a new a big beat song featuring the klaxons out.

why do I feel like I'm playing Castlemania during most of these tracks? I mean, I guess they sampled Goblin's Argento soundtrack (at least according to wikipedia), but they really turned up the gothic horror synths on a few of these ("Valentine," "One Minute to Midnight" etc). Most of it sounds nothing like D.A.N.C.E. and everyhting like "Carpates," the only snoozer on their first single.

um, right. video game-related typo or has it just been that long that I actually thought is was Castlemania? I kind of hope it's the latter...

Ethan there is a fine art to calling The Lex out on his indie band faves and you are frankly rubbish at it, even Passantino is better than you.
As far as the blog house canon goes right now - Black Strobe > Simian Mobile Disco > Justice > Digitalism BUT the much-maligned MSTRKFT album from last year might be better than all of them.
'Stress' is awesome but it does kind of add credence to Justice's whole "we make music without really knowing how to" schtick because if they DID know how to do it they would have made the beat 1000 times more slamming than it actually is. As it happens, they end up with a pretty flaccid 'tic' noise.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 27 May 2007 23:58 (seventeen years ago) link
i disagree completely w/ that list
justice > blackstrobe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> simian + digitalism
