LOVE the Kinks, Chaff.
Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
Shout Out Louds - Howl Howl Gaff Gaff
The Animals - Most of the Animals
Menomena - I Am The Fun Blame Monster! (This little album has been in my collection for a while now, neglected until a few days ago when I decided to give it a try. It's prettay, prettay, prettay good. Mind-blowing, actually. It's hard to describe, kind of like a mix of Massive Attack & Radiohead, with some indie-pop thrown in. I think I've found something to help pry me from my Okkervil River addiction.)

vampire weekend is 1000000x better than I thought it would be. Usually I don't like bands with that much hype...
It's like a mix between Paul Simon, Kings of Leon and the Shins.

stephen speaks-a mixture of both of their cds. If you would like some music to listen to with your girl this is definitely a band you should listen to. Out of my league is their best song.

Alright....I like this vampire weekend...but I have some...err...criticisms.
If they need to borrow a REAL kick drum mic, I have a nice Shure kick drum mic they can borrow. They can't REALLY want it to sound like that can they?
Is this guy using a fretless bass? There's something off about it. There's a time and a place.
Other than the production values, which are either poor bc it's their first album, or poor bc of some pretentious stuck up reason and they think they sound "raw" or "real" or "natural" or some bs....they're pretty good.
I like it.

The Clash - London Calling
The National - Boxer
Re: Vampire Weekend, I must say that I do not get what the big deal is. It's incredibly accessible and catchy, but I'm not a big Paul Simon fan and their sound definitely emulates his on occasion. I've listened to it 6 times through now, and towards the end I'm always waiting for the album to wrap up so I can listen to something else. Also, unlike Flaco, I felt that the production was too thick. I did not get the impression that they wanted to sound "raw", quite the opposite, actually. I'll continue to revisit it occasionally, but I don't think this album has the legs to keep my attention for much longer.

Isn't it the band MTV has been hyping up for a while?
It sounds like they must be subscribers to the ongoing trend of lo-fi recording, like The Black Keys, The White Stripes, etc.

One of my all time favorite bands is rocking me right now....
Luxury - "Health and Sport"
Go to iTunes right now and check Luxury out....for $.99 each purchase "Black Books", and "Diary Standard", and "Strange Flowers"....let me know what you think.
however the best song is an 11 minute track called "Shake more hands, give more hugs"....genius.

Yup, it's pretty good. Not on the level of St. Elsewhere because it has a few songs I dislike, but it's darn good.

BBL,
Yes, it's Zooey Deschanel and M.Ward, they released an album together under the name "She and Him." She's a pretty capable singer.
New Gnarls is pretty good, but not as good as St. Elsewhere. "Run" is a fun song, but it doesn't work as well for me without the video. Nothing on here touches "Crazy" or "Smiley Faces."
The new Raconteurs is awesome

I'd actually take The Odd Couple over St. Elsewhere. I think it's a more consistent album.
And I'd put "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" and "Neighbors" up against any two songs on St. Elsewhere.
But that's just me, music hits different people in different ways.

Check this out, I'm gonna go old school on you, I went to a bar this saturday and they had Karaoke going on, but it really reminded me of a few old songs:
Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon (Sung by yours truly, this was the Urge Overkill version)
Mr. Roboto - Styx
Just Got Wicked - Cold (Yes, someone sung that........ and I was singing it along)
At A Medium Pace - Adam Sandler (Completely forgot about that, hilarious)
Enjoy The Silence - Depeche Mode
Two Princes - Spin Doctors (If you, want to call me baby, just go ahead now!)

Looking for ambient trip hop sounds, something that sets the mood right. The likes of Morcheeba, Dj Shadow, ATCQ, Diggable Planets, Zero 7, or even Baduh. Any suggestions?
And also a little bit of house music too. Thanks in advance.

If you like Shadow, you'll probably like RJD2 and Metaform as well.

Just picked up Vince Gill's 4-CD box set "These Days"
Pretty good so far. Most people who know him, know he's a great singer... but he's an AWESOME guitar player too.
