god damn, recs already?

[byebyebeautiful]

pedro the lion - i've listened to his cds quite a few times through over the past week. such a great, simple lyricist.
frankie valli and the four seasons - "grease" (you know, "grease is the word...") is one of my current favorite songs.
the cadence - someone rec'd them last week, so i'll do it this week. i don't really have a choice, i have to like them. really. it's a good thing they're a damn good band. new drummer, first show back this friday. it'll be good.
why? - my friend turned me on to them. i still haven't heard much, but i like it. they're on anticon; need i say more?
saturday looks good to me - 60s pop-inspired music. they have a cd called "all your summer songs." now, don't you think it's appropriate?

xoxo conor

[ben pequeno]

underoath's video will be coming out tomorrow. i reccommend that.

where are they playing friday? i want to goooo.


listen to:
saves the day - stay what you are
get up kids - something to write home about
midtown - living well is the best revenge
the format - interventions and lullabies; dog problems
the ataris - so long, astoria
the academy is - almost here
forgive durden - wonderland

i have two playlists i've been going back and forth between on my ipod this past week. that's one. fun stuff. the other is better for bedtime and consists of death cab (transatlanticism, plans, & we have the facts), the city on film, sufjan stevens (illinois), margot & the nuclear so and sos, josh ritter (the animal years), owen, and the elected.

[Gabe Gross]

underoath's video will be coming out tomorrow. i reccommend that.

umm its amazing...you don't even understand how amazing it is. holy eff....video of the year probably.

hype/

[SKooT]

This will probably be said many many many times, but my rec is the new AFI... more than once. It wasn;t an instant hit for me, but after 2-3-4 listens, it began to grow on me, and by now, its one ofmy favorites.

[pillpillow]

i recommend this:

[deadforweeks]

I recommend The Lovely Feathers (check them out here (http://www.thelovelyfeathers.com/))
Amazing indie/pop/post punk.

I also recommend The Spinto Band (http://www.spintoband.com/) for some lovely summery indie.

And Oh No Oh My (http://www.myspace.com/ohnoohmyband). More great indie pop.

I hope you enjoy them.

PS Support England cos we love you

[bigmike]

Midtown. anything by Midtown.

[mike l]

Echo Screen. NACS.

[weworemasks]

i know its wrong of me....but i recommend HAPPY HOLLOW. its so fucking good.

[Aileen]

[Frank Giaramita]

iloverichardcheese.com
Hahaha, you would.

[fight4urdemons]

The Ataris - End Is Forver is one of the best records ever in my opinion.
Love Arcade - Happy, crazy, mad, sing-along Summer music.
Taking Back Sunday - I love all of their records. It gets a lot of shit on this site, but Louder Now is fantastic and I listen to it regularly.
No Doubt - Their cover of "Come On Eileen" is one of the perfect Summer songs. Listen to it.
Duke Special - I recommended him last week and I'll do it again. Extremely beautiful, antique music for the apathetic and broken hearted.
Jawbreaker - Possibly my favourite musicians. Everything they released is genius. Start with 24 Hour Revenge Therapy.

And just listen to great Summer music that makes you happy. Peace.

[dekdog11]

blackpool lights
sleepaway
fair
madelyn - a great local band from south florida, check them out

Midtown. anything by Midtown.
sweet, I've seen Midtown a few times already in these recs. We were just having a discussion last week about why Midtown didn't get as big as Brand New, even when most of us like them more

[handyska]

check out Let's Try Leaving they just posted their first demo!!

www.myspace.com/letstryleaving

[maledixtion]

i know its wrong of me....but i recommend HAPPY HOLLOW. its so fucking good.
sweet brag. is your favorite color pink?

[BettyDavisDance]

Currently listening to...
Punchline
Victory Lane
David Melillo

[Chriz2z]

I like Frank's recs.

[Low Level Owl]

ive been listening to a lot of music this week so i will be recommending a lot so just bear with me:

Uncle Tupelo
Gram Parsons
The Jayhawks
Vetiver
Sunset Rubdown
Camera Obscura
TalkDemonic
Alexi Murdoch
Beirut
The Theatre Fire

by the way I am getting excited for happy hollow. i ordered the 7" single from saddle-creek so hopefully that can tide me over until the release.

[mogwaifearsatan]

65daysofstatic
God Is An Astronaut
Dirty Three

[cahrishurr]

afi and van halen

thats all you need and all you should want

[permanent]

Keane (http://www.myspace.com/keane) - People should probably know of Keane by now cause they have had a kind of hit single here in the US and are big in the UK. If for some reason you don't know Keane, they are like Coldplay Jr. The new album is great and hits stores June 20th.
Sleeping At Last (http://www.myspace.com/sleepingatlast) - Another mellow recommendation. I am pretty sure these guys have been recommended a few times back, but I haven't seen any posts about their upcoming album. Whatever major label they were on completely dropped the ball and now they are independently releasing their latest album on June 20th (though it's being shipped already)
Paulson (http://www.myspace.com/paulson) - Their 2005 release went under the radar which is a shame cause it's a damn solid album. Check them out if you like Circa Survive or any of this new spacey rock stuff.
Inventions (http://www.myspace.com/inventions) - Space rock meets post hardcore. Kind of reminds me of older Thursday meets The Mars Volta.

[mike l]

Boys Night Out - Trainwreck START TO FINISH
Eisley

No Doubt - Their cover of "Come On Eileen" is one of the perfect Summer songs. Listen to it.


sure you don't have a mislabeled save ferris song instead? as far as i know, no doubt never did this song. additionally, save ferris sounds a good deal like no doubt...

[Smithers]

if you have HBO, i recommend you watch the Entourage premiere tonight. but since my roommate and i are too cheap, we'll be downloading it off torrent tomorrow instead.

i also suggest The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, the new Rise Against that is probably my album of the year, and Paramore's cover of My Hero.

[Adrianduh]

god damn. you are a moron.

[quitmyscene]

god damn. you are a moron.
because i'm sure he's being completely serious.

[weworemasks]

because i'm sure he's being completely serious.

i considered the possibility, but the fact that he edited the post and said "that didnt work either," is pretty stupid and not funny even if he was joking. therefore, he loses, and you are a tool for thinking you pulled a quick one on me.

[El_Jeffe]

[mike l]

[IAmAmazing]

oh yes it does kick much asses. i would know. mwahahahahahah!!!

hah, please go die

[bigmike]

sweet, I've seen Midtown a few times already in these recs. We were just having a discussion last week about why Midtown didn't get as big as Brand New, even when most of us like them more
I don't know why they aren't as big. They deserve it so much. I've only seen them live once but they were really, really good and are cool guys as well. More people need to get into midtown. I like them more than Brand New. alot more. (and I like BN a good amount).

[mike l]

thats a terrible thing to say, i've had such a bad throat this past week and the medicine isn't working and i'm not improving at all. so you should take that back meet me behind pizza express and we could settle it over fisticuffs.:wacko:

[Garett Press]

Garrett is right. Mew is amazing.
soooo good!

[GreenJellyBean]

[Tony]

Right now, I can't stop listening to Danger:Radio (http://www.purevolume.com/dangerradio). If you like Men Women & Children, P!ATD, or Head Automatica, I'd say check them out. They're a ton of fun live too.
