1911 Beta

How the fuck is a hipster like myself supposed to know who I like and dislike if I don't know what music you're listening to? I need to tell you guys how bad your music is (not srs) (sort of srs) (srs).

Post up some shit you bros are listening to now. Not necessarily an all-time favorites thing, just artists/songs you've been listening to a lot as of late. Old or new.

inb4 jules winnfield comes in with Lil' Wayne.

Only because I can't get this out of my head, and that's fine with me.

I enjoy listening to the hippie drum circle music from the OWS protests.

Please tell me how awful this is, Alex. Thanks.

Even if it were a bad song, I couldn't call it bad because it was used in Lost in Translation.

I liked that, NG. I think the one thing I dislike about bands who have this sound, however, is their songs are extremely hit or miss. I have no idea who this band is, but a lot in this sort of post-rock genre have really good or really bad songs. I think.

Hilde have you heard this version:

I was kind of just introduced to this band. I've only heard a handful of songs

Loving that shaker Alex! I enjoy the upbeat action in the song as well though, so I prefer the album version!

Now currently listening to some Canadian talent! Alex, if you like Young the Giant, you might like the Arkells!

I could never get into Spoon, Swiss. Saw them at Lollapalooza, met one of the brass players (ujelly?), but...just can't do it. Dunnolol.jpg

Hilde - that band isn't so much my sound.

If you're a fan of folk, you ought to be listening to Okkervil River nom sayin'?

^^This song is about murdering girls. So, you know. It's good. And happy.

By far my most fav dubstep song.

This thread is dedicated to music, not dubstep. There is a huge difference.

maybe im biased because theyre from austin. and theyre not a band that fits very well at a big music festival like lollapalooza or austin city limits. they sound amazing at small venues, pretty sure they got famous during south by southwest. anyways there are very few bands that have amazing songs all the way through their album, from start to finish. spoon is one of those.

I will repeat the question that you conveniently ignored: r u jelly I met one of the brass players? A simple yes or no will suffice.

Song makes me laugh. Just because the guy's voice is so fucking odd, and the content of this song is very spiteful given it being about divorce. The sound of his voice is kind of contradictory to the meaning of the song.

Jarrod should love the lyrics of this song.

I love the mountain goats.

saw john outside @ vermont and brought him a six pack of PBR tall-boys, and some whiskey. we shotgunned a pbr together (at his insistence) and then took a shot. Craziest meth survivor I will ever get a chance to know!

edit - inb4 coolstorybro?

i completely forgot to mention that....SUPER JELLY

Dubstep is awful.

Anthrax's new album is not.

Weekend by Class Actress.

edit: video here, definitely going through a serious synth-heavy pop music phase right now...

[youtube]UCPpgE7x-BI[/youtube]

Also, lots of good stuff on here. Kenzo's Royksopp, greetz with Battles, Arcade Fire, Okkervil, Wolf Parade.

Then someone brought in the fuckin' dubstep.

Listen to some James Blake. That is real, good dubstep. Not that wubwubwbuwbuwubwubwubb bro trash.

edit: sorry for being caustic. I'm just so damn cool.

edit 2: give Spoon another chance, Alex.

This is for Rob. It's his fave.

lol I love The Decemberists. YOU'RE the one in denial over the accent.

HE DOESN'T SOUND ENGLISH. It's not like I'm opposed to it, as if I would dislike a band because the lead singer sounds English. He just...doesn't.

I've tried to get into Spoon, man. Same goes for Wilco. Just can't do it. I know everyone loves them, but I just can't get into it.

Oh Alex... So sweetly ignorant. Don't ever change.

Well I still owe you one then, since you got me to revisit and love Neon Bible.

Hipsterness is only refreshed when new, unshared music is acquired. Discarding your old favorites that other people know about now is only half the process.

Thank goodness Two Gallants is still a secret to mainstream society. And thank goodness Arcade Fire played one of their worst songs when they performed at The Grammys. Had they played something from Funeral, they'd be so popular that I would have to drop them like a bad habit.

moosh wrote:Funeral is the best album. How i found them, thanks mitch "bikeage"

Undoubtedly. I think every album they've made is far beyond fantastic, but Funeral was and is still a damn masterpiece. And he wrote that when he was fucking 21 years old.

I think it goes in chronological order from best to worst (their "worst" album still, again, being brilliant): Funeral --> Neon Bible --> The Suburbs

Good ol' Mitch. There's a cool dude.

<3 arcade fire! more canadian talent. gotta rep em hard!

and some more canadian talent!

I like Hey Rosetta, but saw them at mFest in Halifax and they were just alright. Same with Broken Social Scene. But TED LEO WAS FUCKING AWESOME.

Also, whenever I talk to Alex he tells me about how awesome garbage like Conor Oberst is, but then he makes a thread like this and posts good stuff. WHAT IS GOING ON

I'm Wide Awake and Digital Ash were awesome. Everything else from Oberst is meh. Definitely not garbage though.

My god, you fucking hipsters...
