Pat Marquez - 2.20.05

[Pat Marquez]

Uhm, I have to "sit in" at my job today, so here are my recommendations: (AND I WAS UNABLE GIVE YOU A REASON, BUT NOW I WILL:

The Appleseed Cast - I live ambient/spacey rock, these guys are the epitomoe of that. This defines artsy music. "Doors Leads To Questions" is probably my favorite song and if your looking for music to relax to, TAC will do that for you.

The Shins - Post punk indie rock? I don't know what the hell you call it besides amazing. Yeah, they had that song in Garden State but so what, that's not even their best album. (In my opinon) "Cutes To Narrow" fucking rules.

The Good Life - Like I said before, I'm a suck for "story telling" style of music writing, and Tim Kasher does it beautifully. "Album Of The Year" is probably my favorite .. album. I'm sure I wil get shot for that, but oh well.

Wilco - Because they are awesome. That's the only reason you should listen to them. Because they are awesome.

IRON & WINE (Please buy "Woman King" it will be "music genre changing" .. for you, get it? Instead of life changing.. it's "music genre changing.") - This is a little different from his previous releases but such an wonderful step foward for Sam Beam. Folkish type rock laced with soothing vocals. Not to mention his WIFES voice, she can sing.

Broken Social Scene "I'm Still Your F.ag" is an amazing song. - Ambient at times, BSS are one of my favorite bands. "Your Forgot It In People" is such a moving album. There isn't ONE song I dislike on the entire album.

A Perfect Kiss - www.myspace.com/aperfectkiss A local band from Ann. MD and let me tell you, this band WILL be signed by next year. Ambient/spacey rock.. again.. that covered an TAC song when I saw them live, they are worth checking out.

[ParisInFlames55]

awesome. i love everything you recommended, well except broken social scene due to the fact that i've never heard them. i love every other band you mention there though.

[shane hennessey]

good call on iron and wine. im listening now and its great

[straylightfun87]

i just got into the goodlife, good call on that, album of the year makes me depressed tho, its so honest and sad, i feel like i lived each moment in his life after i listen

[LostInTheCrowd]

I'm listening to the Good Life right now and I was just listening to the Shins.

[Rufio21]

[Kelley Nicole]

The Shins

The Goodlife

Wilco

IRON & WINE (Please buy "Woman King" it will be "music genre changing" .. for you, get it? Instead of life changing.. it's "music genre changing.")

Broken Social Scene "I'm Still Your F.ag" is an amazing song.
YESSSSSS. But the Good Life is two words. =) Sorry, correcting that stuff is lame. I can't help it though.
I've never actually listened to the Appleseed Cast yet, but I think I'll have to since you really do listen to good music. Your signature doesn't lie

listen to Devendra Banhart
I just was!

[+adamo/videos__]

great justifications to why you recommend these bands. oh wait, nevermind, you didn't bother to do that.

you listen to good music? who dictates what music is good?

[shane hennessey]

if u dont like indie rock that is sometimes slow, sometimes folkish, then you will not like. that goes for goodlife, broken social, iron and wine, the shins and appleseed

i hate the shins though

[aolsux]

the appleseed cast - one of my favorite bands

It's a shame, because you have a great taste in music for a sixteen year old kid (I'll be interviewing Hot Cross soon) but there is no excuse for being a "hardass" on the internet. Grow up some.

[+adamo/videos__]

didn't intend to come off as an asshole. recommendations just seemed lazy, rushed and incomplete.

oh, right, okay.

[selftitled85]

anyways...i love iron and wine and the shines and a perfect kiss. way to go pat.

[Pat Marquez]

Well it's okay. Immaturity is expected with your age.

I guess I should have waitied till I got back from work to present my recommendations in a professional order.

[oldwirehands]

Awesome! Frikin' awesome! Love all of it!

[SinnersSerenade]

i have the all acoustic version of "album of the year." it's hot shit.

[Kelley Nicole]

i have the all acoustic version of "album of the year." it's hot shit.
yeah, that kind of came with the album so a lot of people have it, especially if they preordered it/ordered it shortly after its release/went to a show and bought it. but yeah, it's good.


* chutes too narrow i know you know that but someone else might call you on the typo so i thought i might as well.

[Scott Weber]

the new iron and wine EP is the first album of his that doesn't sound like it was recorded in his asshole.

[Pat Marquez]

All his albums are amazing, I love that style of recording. It's awesome.

[straylightfun87]

didn't intend to come off as an asshole. recommendations just seemed lazy, rushed and incomplete.

oh, right, okay.

Agreed.

Pop in some Joanna Newsom, Sufjan Stevens, Animal Collective, Vetiver, M. Ward, and Songs: Ohia while you are at it. :)

[Emopunkthrice]

[Pat Marquez]

[bleedingemo]

nice choice on a perfect kiss, they're awesome

[+adamo/videos__]

wow give him a break

you didn't see his orginal post did you?

give him a break? uh, I don't think I was asking for too much.

not to mention he continued to bash me about my age, when I said nothing personal. took things way too seriously.

Why would you ask at all? Why does it matter to you? I usually do write out definitions. Last week I did not, but the previous weeks I have.

I'm not going to bother anymore.

Too argumentative. Is it not common sense to support why the band is recommended (I would believe that is the purpose of this)?

I bet five bucks you'll give me a smart answer and I bet another ten that I could careless.

Done.

[Kelley Nicole]

Agreed.

[+adamo/videos__]

[shinkickedjames]

Achilles, Shane Hennessey, and Kelley Nicole have just about the best taste in music ever...and if you haven't listened to sufjan stevens, vetiver, joanna newsom, and animal collective by now, do it, but add the danielson famile, half handed cloud and the innocence mission to that assortment as well

[leftcoastenvy]

[Pat Marquez]

Haha, sorry.

[bodyrock me?]

my recommendation for sunday. (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=61329)

[Adrian Villagomez]

The Shins - Post punk indie rock? I don't know what the hell you call it besides amazing. Yeah, they had that song in Garden State but so what, that's not even their best album. (In my opinon) "Cutes To Narrow" fucking rules.I just received Oh, Inverted World in the mail yesterday. Rock.

[theunibomber]

some of the best recommendations i've ever seen on here!

[Aileen]

everyone shut the fuck up and go listen to wilco
they will change your life for the better thank you

[Achilles]

That is true. I was quite pleased that they won a Grammy. Good to see them get such well-deserved prestige.

[Andy]

Isn't it about time you recommended some Tool?



The Shins rock.
