Drew: The new Saosin (http://www.saosin.com), Senses Fail (http://wwww.sensesfail.com), and Justin Timberlake albums are all awesome.
Jon F: The new A Static Lullaby (http://www.astaticlullaby.com) album is all that I've been listening to. Get stoked!
Jared: Owen (http://myspace.com/mybandowen) and Morrissey (http://www.myspace.com/morrissey).
Russ: Four bands with a steady pulse and one that flatlined a while ago, here (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=166457).
Melissa: I've spent the entire morning studying/doing homework/writing papers. For those of you like me, put a lil fun in your life. Listen to the Llama Song (http://gprime.net/flash.php/llamasong). (Yes I do know this is old, but it's FUNNY!)

Damn you Steve, stop recommending Saosin every week, it makes me sad I can't listen to it yet.

[mxpxjf]

Nothing like a good Five Iron album! (which is pretty much all of them)

[paul manley]

new misery signals album

[iamjohndeath]

Alexisonfire "Crisis" one of my top 5 fav albums of the year :)

[GRIFFARD]

Pete Yorn- Nightcrawler. I heard it late last night and i've already listened to it 3 times. It ropes you in and doesn't let go and I suggest that everyone buys it when it hits stores.
System of a Down. Good metal that doesn't sound like anything else. very fun to listen to.
Final Fantasy-He Poos Clouds. Final Fantasy is a band that is essentially an Arcade Fire side project with more violins. The CD is truly fantastic and I highly recommend everyone listen to it. Now it's #2 on my list.

[Steve Henderson]

Oh No! Oh My! - Oh No! Oh My! EP
Miles Away - Consequences

fuck yessss miles away! finally playing some shows back home in a week or two! i'm siked!
the self-titled thing is better though imo, not so much a record as a compilation of EPs and demos... so melodic and really posi. one of the most crucial cds you can own.

anything bright eyes
jimmy eat world- bleed american

[XpunkXroutineX]

Leftover Crack (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofi le&friendID=44884556) - Fuck World Trade is an awesome album. Check out "One Dead Cop". Punk, ska, and death metal all in one. Buy, download, steal all their albums

Swallowing Shit (http://www.g7welcomingcommittee.com/bands/swallowing_shit.php) - political grindcore at it's best.

[KB3RG]

[Nathan Lint]

I can't get most of Rory's songs out of my head.

Your a lucky man because they tour Florida all the time, but never come to Michigan. Oh well, One Eleven Tours comin up. Their so catchy.

[bluecrunchy]

[ForeverInADay]

Final Fantasy-He Poos Clouds. Final Fantasy is a band that is essentially an Arcade Fire side project with more violins. The CD is truly fantastic and I highly recommend everyone listen to it. Now it's #2 on my list.
It's not a side project. Owen just wrote a lot of string arrangements on The Arcade Fire's album. He was in The Hidden Cameras and Le Mouches before, though.

Owen Pallett Is amazing. He Poo's Clouds is amazing. ....Has A Good Home is amazing.

[ForeverInADay]

the self-titled thing is better though imo, not so much a record as a compilation of EPs and demos... so melodic and really posi. one of the most crucial cds you can own.
I definitely thought the self titled was better too, I just wore it out though this week, so now I've moved onto Consequences hahaha

[boldt_action]

Great Five Iron call.

[ilovebsb]

i recommend myself trying to find a way to hear some new a static lullaby because the 2 new songs sound amazing and i cant wait till october 10th.

[chokeychicken]

saw the Timberlake show at the 930 club in DC on Friday - say what you want about the dude, but he puts on a show.

[NameTaken69]

i reccomend people listen to all of their midtown records, i did it today and it was orgasmic. such good shit

[Joe DeAndrea]

OutKast - Idlewild
This Providence - The Sunday's Best EP

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

[bradyreier]

i reccomend people listen to all of their midtown records, i did it today and it was orgasmic. such good shit

[bung]

new this day and age, xlookingforwardx, and hundred year storm. i'm all over the place this week.

ha! when i was in junior high i was in a band called looking forward, minus the x's.

[Latane]

Seriously the new Justin Timberlake album is crazy. Timbaland does all the production on the album and it's probably the best production I've heard in a really long time. He is the mad scientist.

[I Heart APnet]

:) This is a good year.

[monkeyboyrock]

i recommend the new alexisonfire cd

Man, that album rules way harder than I thought this band were capable of...

[uglystar03]

Seriously the new Justin Timberlake album is crazy. Timbaland does all the production on the album and it's probably the best production I've heard in a really long time. He is the mad scientist.

Timbaland also did all the production on the Nelly Furtado album (minus two songs) and it is amazing. He is damn good.

So I guess I recommend:
Nelly Furtado
Life In Your Way
underoath
The Format

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

Great recs Jason.

[boysdontcry17]

Monty Are I- wall of people
Trophy Scars- alphabet.alphabets

[manican sex]

i recommend Conans monologue on tonights emmys.

[Mountain_Range]

Brandon A - "Five Iron Frenzy" - Good choice, havnt heard them in ages, you've convinced me to crack open a few CD's. Best Ska band by far, cheers :D

[cannibalgirl]

head automatica-popaganda
jack's mannequin-everything in transit.

[takingbackrufio]

Kasabian - Empire

[Jason Tate]

does Jason wear sandals? some really shit music in there i'm afraid, does anyone here know that music did exist before 1990's?

Yes I do actually, almost exclusively. Asshole.

And you do realize that this feature/thread started as "NEW" music recommendations, right?

[IAmAmazing]

Idiot Pilot! - Bitch's their gonna get big really fast

[Chris Fallon]

The fact that Brandon rec'd Five Iron Frenzy gets me a boner. There's a band I pretty much forgot about completely!! Until now...

How about we just go with some Over It? I'm really happy my most anticipated album #3 is dropping on Tuesday!

Oh, and Timberlake is pimpin', so I can rec that, too. The man's a talent.

[Cali Dreaming]

excellent Jason!!!
