vlborg, I'd go with the first three albums. Beyond that they sound like a lesser band trying really hard to imitate themselves. Some people really enjoy that stuff though.

Casitone is thinking of changing his name. Tried to dissuade him, or else he should change it to a past album title: "Vs. Children" or "Advance Base Battery Life" or even go with the acronym CFTPA, which he shares with the Canadian Film and Television Producers Association.

All the "wolves", "dears", "bears" and pretty much every other animal that lives in the forest. Also anything that starts with "My" (yes, that includes My Bloody Valentine).

I'm disappointed there isn't more wildly irrational writing off of people because of their real name. I sure didn't have to hear Jack Johnson before deciding that his music was boring.

AIDS Wolf are actually pretty cool people.
But actually I'm kind of a hypocrite in this area. I love Wolf Eyes and AIDS Wolf, but I've got no interest in ever hearing Wolf Parade b/c they've got a stupid name, but then didn't they come out around the same time as Mice Parade?

Yeah, the Canadian indie press and the whole Canadian indie culture looooove YSPWSD!. Poppy indie-rock with chicks in the band? Hello, welcome to Canada. And of course additional outpourings of appreciation over the last couple of weeks. A buddy of mine who is normally a drum'n'bass/mashup DJ who is formelly on the record as being ultra-suspicious of anthing resembling a "band" called me last night to tell me he's doing a 2 hour show dedicated to them. I was like "cool", thinking "wtf?".
