belle and sebastian - expectations, we rule the school, sleep the clock around

Death Cab!!!!

Also, they're much more emo than indie, but everyone should go check out The Academy Is... They're a new band and they're absolutely fantastic. I'm also in love with Mae right now.

I just discovered Grandaddy... and once I got past the name I found looovely music. Go download. I have yet to find a song I don't like.

Also:

Enon - Daughter in the House of Fools, Murder Sounds, Leave It To Rust
Robbers on High Street - Japanese Girls, Love Underground, Hot Sluts (Say I Love You)
Cat Power - Ice Water, Maybe Not, He War
The Sourkeys - Sick Since Sunday, May
Menomena - Rose, Trigga Hiccups
Tortoise - Ten-Day Interval, Firefly
The Boy Least Likely To - Monsters, Paper Cuts, I See Spiders When I Close My Eyes

Heee.. I like this thread.

ooo i forgot to ask josh when i saw his list: how is tv on the radio and the most serene republic?

I'll be the speaker for Josh at the moment.

They're both awesome.

Some starters:

TV on the Radio - Staring at the Sun, Blind, King Eternal

The Most Serene Republic - Content Was Always My Favourite Colour, Where Cedar Nouns and Adverbs Walk

Goddamnit Jess!

She's right though.

TV On The Radio make heavily soul and electronic inflected psych rock. It sounds like a mess, described like that, but the songs are superbly crafted and endlessly gorgeous, without exception. Frontman Tunde Adebimpe has, I'm not kidding, the most phenomenal voice I've ever heard.

The Most Serene Republic are what the Postal Service might sound like if they were forced to do ecstacy. Then acid. HUGE synthesizer swath every song, while a girl/boy vocalist duo sing happy nonsensical things in the laid back near-falsetto Ben Gibbard's made so popular. Frenetic and bubbly indie pop.

Silly Josh and his ability to describe bands in more ways than good.

I believe you said, "awesome".

I wondered if you'd use that minute detail against me.

Did you?

Halifax is indeed kickass. I've been hooked lately on their cover of "Straight Up" from Punk Goes '80s...

yeah, i saw that but haven't gotten it. it's on my list of songs to get though.

I heard Hazeldean is good. (Shameless Plug for Joel's Band)

he's lurking right now....but he never posts

yeah, although i think it's concrete blond that sings ghost riders in the sky, and i think blonde redhead sings pillars, another pretty good song. my bad for the confusion.

Ah... that explains why I couldn't find it.
