PS3 is definitely worth the money. not the best selection of games but the new tony hawk is pretty sweet, madden looks amazing, and resistance fall of man is an unbelievable game.

[Darren McLeod]

Great call on The Hold Steady, Darren.
I can't believe how much the album grew on me. Such a great album.... and a fantastic band.

[Low Level Owl]

motown and thanksgiving go good together...
..so i recomend listening to some four tops.

and since i just saw the new amsterdams tonight, i think i'll recomend them as well.

[brooklynburning]

Wii! Have mine pre-ordered...need to wait another 10 hours.

it's one of the best cd's that came out this year. I am excited to finally see them on the 6th of December.

If only you weren't just saying that to validate your purchase. PS3 = not worth it. At all. There have already been reports of systems breaking, most of the launch games dont even look that hot, let alone better than the 360 and the only good game is resistance for the next... 6 months.

[byebyebeautiful]

joanna newsom - ys is such an incredible album. i've been listening to it since i got it, and every time i pick up on new details. van dyke parks arrangements work so well with her. and for those of you who don't like her voice, please give it another shot. it's still very unique, but a little more accessible.
bob dylan - i mean, come on.
the thermals - so fucking good! their new album is absolutely fantastic. one of the best albums to come out this year.
kind of like spitting - they broke up, and i'm still not over it. but i feel safe saying that that's not the last we'll see of ben barnett.
the dear hunter - such nice guys, so talented--every one of them. please please please see them live. they put on quite the show.

i usually do five recs, but today i need to add this one:

brian wilson - if you have a chance, go see the pet sounds 40th anniversary tour. al jardine (original beach boy) is playing with them. AND! their second set is pet sounds in its entirety. so fucking good. so so so fucking good.

xoxo conor

[FeynmanWannabe]

Nice rec's, especially Joanna Newsom. She definitely surpassed my expectations with this album.

Good call recommending Peter and the Wolf, Paul.

[ParisInFlames55]

Casino Royale is one of my favourite films of the year, good call on that Jason.

everytime i see you post i think you are jared kaufman in disguise. where the hell did he go?

[FeynmanWannabe]

Here are my rec's (copied from the General Forum):

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Jacksonville City Nights

Brandi Carlile - Brandi Carlile

Jeff Buckley - Grace

Joanna Newsom - Y's

Math & Physics Club - Math & Physics Club

This Tuesday I'm interested in: Sufjan Stevens, Swan Lake, Brand New, Tom Waits

[LPMagic]

I recommend:

Saving money and avoiding overpriced video game systems.
For the record, PCs > "next gen" systems for years, if you've had the cash for the video card. I can't believe how many people are getting suckered into spending hundreds upon hundreds of dollars right now.

Brand New - The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me
Yeah, it's been talked / hyped to death, but putting all of the noise aside and just sitting and listening to the album, it's incredible. "Deja Entendu" is my holy grail and I don't believe anything will ever replace / overtake it. Just enjoy the music on this album for what it is rather than making comparisons.

Voxtrot
I've been saying it long before it hit the blogosphere... this band will hit the masses in a big way whenever they release an LP. Check out their 3 EPs (the latest released almost 2 weeks ago) and find out what all the buzz is about. I also highly recommend seeing them live if you have the chance.

Complimenting and building up...
I know, I sound like a softie. The holidays are just around the corner, though, and there's enough tearing down (especially with the recent US elections). So just relax and put on a smile, emo kids.

Great call Jeff. You've been pushing them since as long as I can remember. Thanks for getting me to listen to them. I can't wait till a full-length.

haha jesus, when I read your recs I realized that that is what I have been listening to all week minus math & physics club, I've never actually heard them. I'll be picking up the same cd's on tuesday as well. wierd.Hahaha Wow. Check M&PC out, by the way. They're song of a more cutesy Sinister-era Belle & Sebastian.

Wii (got mine + Zelda already!)

Just noticed your Millenium Earl avatar <3

[black rose]

yay at piebald.

[bung]

I'd get a PS3 if I had a spare $600 laying around. The thing is that's actually a really good deal, considering Blu-ray players are upwards of $1000. I'll buy one when they are ~$450 probably, when they actually have a solid selection of games available.

The only game worth getting right now is Resistance: Fall of Man, anyway.

[whyte39]

good call on xavier, jon, such an amazingly talented artist, his live recordings are so good on www.archive.org

[Bad Karma]

Fall Out Boy, Joshua Radin, Nintendo Wii >>>>> PS3

I recommend getting a PS2 and Final Fantasy XII. You will have more fun than spending $600 on the PS3 and getting a copy of the new Ridge Racer.

[smogs]

Speaking of USC football, I just sent in my college application to that school yesterday.

[camery182]

we could sit here all day and argue about which system is the best, it comes down to what u want to play, if u are big into shooters and online then go xbox, if u like platforms and GOD OF WAR then go playstation, wii if u like the control and downloading the old school games. each system has its good and bad. dont hate on systems though.

The Pipettes - We Are the Pipettes

[camery182]

fuck music this week. nintendo wii is the only recommendation anybody can make for a long time.

and if you chose ps3, i feel sorry for you.

yeah i would feel sorry for someone who just made 4000 dollars or more in profit off of selling their system too...

[dukeboy1986]

Damien Rice, Josh Ritter, Jimmy Eat World, Death Cab for Cutie, and The Format. I can't get over how great Clarity is.

while i listen to christmas music starting in november, it is now almost legal (after thanksgiving) to listen to it. and seeing as how i just had a thanksgiving dinner with all my friends, i can now recceommend it.

and eat lots of turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberries, green bean caserole, rolls, pumpkin and pecan pie (each with a generous amount of cool whip)

Yesssss. I want to rec You Me And Everyone We Know until I die.

[kevowhat1!!]

this is my first post on this website..okay now for my recs i guess:
incubus - light grenades
moneen - are we really happy with who we are now?
3 - wake pig
the prize fighter inferno - my brothers blood machine

And to the ps3 haters..well I love all three systems, the only one really worth buying at the moment is a 360. 360's catalog of games is a bit broader and of course has some pretty good games available by now (examples being Gears of War, Elder Scrolls 4, Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Ghost Recon, DOA 4) . Next year I think would be the best time to purchase a wii or ps3. For one both only really have 1 or 2 really great games coming out at launch, ps3 being resistance and maybe ridge racer 5 and for wii, zelda of course and maybe rayman raving rabbids. The rest you can get on 360 and even zelda is arriving on cube in a few weeks (which is the version im getting). i say wait till next year because the wii will have super mario galaxy, super smash bros brawl, metroid prime 3 etc. and ps3 will have metal gear solid 4, final fantasy 13 (hopefully), heavenly sword, war hawk, devil may cry 4 etc etc. so both will have a much broader range of games. so yeah thats my little rant, dont bag on the ps3 its a hella good bargain for a blue ray player and so far the word is pretty positive and same with the wii. and for technical issues that ppl will peg the ps3 for, i think you should look at almost every system launch in history. they always have problems.
