QUOTE(bmags @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 07:13 PM) i like this thread... I'm going to modest mouse tonight at the Lakefront pavillion, i'll tell you all whether its a good venue when i get back that was the best show i've ever been to. Great place to see a show and if you can find a band you like take advantage of it. The skyline behind the stage is awesome. Isaac and co. were on top of things tonight...pretty good setlist but a few songs i absolutely was thrilled to here (ex. broke, 3rd planet, tiny cities made of ashes)

after seeing how gary majewski is doing for the nationals... i def. think baj can succeed for us.

yes, it truly is open season on christians i can't believe people would be so upset that a government courtroom which has to deal with human laws removes a doctrine reminding all that pass in there that they are to only worship one God... kind of a slap in the face to Hindus isn't it? You can have the ten commandments all over your yard, and nobody could do anything about it, so if you want to see them, go do that, but don't try to act like taking the ten commandments out of a supposedly secular government run courtroom is infringing on your freedom of religion rights, because in all honesty it is infringing on others.

i remember watching that movie...bad a tv movie as it was it was very tough to watch...

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) The guy is such a f***ing putz. He really seems to think he is more to the music landscape than he really is. Like we really give a f*** about him thta much? Man, I can't stand the guy, and he is nothing more than a local star. The rest of the country really doesn't care all that much about him, and the rest of the world REALLY doesn't. The thing is, Chicago puts out so few Top 10 acts (popular stuff here) of this sort, that when we do, we seem to think the bands are more important than they really are. To match the fact that the guy is a raging Cub fan, he is also an arrogant prick and a mediocre songwriter and a lowsy guitarist. What a shmuck. The Smashing Pumpkins are held in the highest regard in europe and much of the US...Siamese Dream and Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness are considered some of the best albums of the 90s, and some consider them some of the best albums of all time.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) Would anyone recommend any of the following: Schoolyard Heroes Shout out Louds the Go! Team I don't know what music you like but i would highly recommend the Go! team... too bad it will be hard for them to get a US release

QUOTE(winodj @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 12:23 PM) I did. The same with Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief. I was a huge Radiohead fan through the 90s. You wanna talk about a band that lost the hook in beauty - look at Sigur Ros, look at Massive Attack, look at about 100 different bands that too many navel gazing indie kids aren't because they're supposed to like Radiohead. Radiohead fans don't like Sigur Ros? Thats news to me and a whole bunch of radiohead fans... at the ateaseweb message boards (a radiohead site) 2 sigur ros albums were rated in the top 100 albums of all time... so what are you talking about?

just weird and not good :rolly whose actually listened to Kid A the whole way through and just said its weird. Theres so much beauty in a lot of music thats lost because people just want a catchy hook. music would never progress if everyband was like coldplay, and we'd get bored incredibly quick

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 11:18 PM) You can leave out the "conservative" part. How many talkshow hosts are worth a damn? Greg Kot and Jim duoisdfoiuweoifs for sound opinions...best damn show ever. tuesdays at 9 on XRT...

QUOTE(winodj @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 11:09 PM) Saw them in 1998. Awesome show... his bootleg stuff that he sells at shows are pretty damn good, but again he's an artist who's past his peak. i saw him in 2002 at NIU... i liked philadelphonic but nothing since...

bollocks... Pablo honey's guitar riffs were greatly influenced by the smiths...or should i have just said johnny marr from the beginning... coldplay has absolutely stolen from radiohead...its just been shaved down to be less offensive, but the guitar riffs in shiver, yellow, spies...all sound like radiohead...and all of coldplays later stuff still sounds like parachutes... therefore...coldplay are a bunch of wimps who refuse to take any chances in their music and have only gotten to where they are by making radiohead-lite music.

nevermind i understand your post now...

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) Allman Brothers Band Beck Coldplay Devo Bob Dylan/Willie Nelson Rufus Wainwright White Stripes Who they did not mention: Broken Social Scene tortoise, broken social scene, and the Go! team are the reason i still want to go to day one... when/where is beck playing? He is the absolute best live...well, not absolute best...maybe he is...i'd love to see guero live though...i'm sure he's excited to play those songs after sea change (beautiful as that record was.)

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:50 PM) Nobody I know of. I wouldn't say Radiohead was following the Smiths. Pablo Honey is pretty harsh, and The Bends and OK Computer don't sound a hell of a lot like anything the Smiths released. I know Radiohead has had their influences, and while I can't remember them, the Smiths weren't one of the key ones. knives out was a tribute to Johnny Marr...its not the complete sound, its the guitar riffs...which are similar... and travis' sound sounds a heck of a lot like radiohead to me, more OKC in some parts, but the way the mood of it sounds all too familiar and the way one guitar has a main riff while the other presents an atmosphere...i still like travis...but i'm not gonna say they don't sound like radiohead...and coldplay Absolutely sounds like radiohead. listen to high and dry and tell me it doesn't sound (well, i know it will sound superior) a lot like anything on parachutes, rush of blood, or X and Y...

it just occured to me i could be thinking of A.M....

and i'm pretty sure that was A.M.

QUOTE(winodj @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:04 PM) Wasn't Summerteeth before Being There? or was that A.M.? Travis developed their own sound, thank you very much... their first album (Good Feeling) didn't do so great in the U.S. because they hadn't found their voice yet - it was just generic alt-rock with shades of brilliant talent much like Pablo Honey was for Radiohead. Travis found their voice with "The Man Who" and then released a couple albums that were poor xerox copies of that album. On the other hand, Coldplay started out sounding a lot more like Radiohead than Travis and kind of became a combination of the two acts stylistically although their sound is much larger and wider in scope. The britpop imitator of the moment is Keane. I thought they were Coldplay, they even kinda look like em. yes...i consider keane a rip off band of a rip off band...You can't tell me that Travis doesn't sound like Bends era Radiohead...maybe not entirely...but the way the guitars cut in and the way its sang... I do still respect Travis a whole lot more because their cds have progressed, while coldplay is too scared to get rid of their no-chances formula.

QUOTE(winodj @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) I saw Judas Priest last weekend, and then saw a small show at the Bitter End in NYC, Autumn Under Echoes (good) and Sputnik's Down (terrible.) G Love and Special Sauce come to the Jersey Shore July 8 at Surf Club in Seaside. Tegan and Sara come to Stone Pony in Asbury July 13. Brian Wilson and his Orchestra come to do Smile live at the PNCBankArtsCenter in August. G. Love he's great live

QUOTE(winodj @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:28 PM) The real question is: who isn't? This dude literally will make s*** up to win an argument. thats how you become a conservative talk show host duh...

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:30 AM) Well Coldplay's first two albums were very good even though they sounded like carbon copies of Travis. But I'll agree with the statement out of principle. and who does travis imitate?? and what is great about radiohead is that they started out with clear influences like the Smiths but worked hard to find their own sound...i also think wilco fits that category...though not influenced by the smiths...he really transcended the uncle tupelo-esque themes in cds like being there...then came summerteeth (dreamy) and by yankee hotel foxtrot...they were godly...

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:22 AM) I'm debating whether or not to go to Intonation. A lot of that ultra Indie noise rock geeky s*** is just too wierd for me. It's almost like wierdness just for that sake of being different and pretentious. A lot of it really sux. Sigur Ros puts me to sleep, but hey to each his own, it all depends on what you find interesting in music... kind of like with movies...if angles and lighting and gritty shots thrill you, you may like movies that others find deathly boring...Sigur Ros' intricate backdrops of their music are really beautiful to me and i think they just have a really interesting mood in their music.

is there a throw up smiley... and shouldn't there have been a little more on the fact that two girls were also RAPED...i mean i love my dog but jesus.
