I could ban you... at least for a few days. You need to cool down, sit in that corner facing the wall, and think about what you've done. Alright, but I'm takin' that picture of Weenie dressed up like Tinkerbell with me. Awesome.

Question: have the people who don't think the Beatles are the shit heard the Beatles on vinyl? This will change minds. There aren't many believers in vinyl around here. I think you, me, Geno and badchoices are it. Oh, and Friendly D, but he's on the moon or something. I'd like to join this club. For me sound is only about 25% of it, the aesthetic pleasure is most of it for me.

Yeah, for me it's about going to the shop and coming out with a couple awesome albums,opening them up for the first time--seeing the album art in it's intended format. An then of course the physical act of dropping the needle onto your new purchase, and getting up to turn it over. I love the routine of vinyl more than anything else.

Oh no, I'm seeing Built to Spill now. Getting frightened that my little Doug Martsch-lovin' heart is about to get torn out like that one time I tried to defend Pavement. Man, I hope everyone loves Built to Spill.

Man, I hope everyone loves Built to Spill. Built to Spill and Caribou and The Knife have not been refuted as far as I remember. Of those, Built to Spill is the most popular, so they probably win. Also Bjork, but I'm fairly convinced that y'all are just afraid of my backlash.

Well there you have it; Caribou is the shit.
Fox: you crazy, but I'm excited none the less to get the fuck down and boogie when Caribou inevitably plays the 'squatch.

Fox, I have a feeling you'd love The Knife. I can't be 100% on that; call it a hunch.
There aren't many bands that I have loved so much, so consistently, for so long as Built to Spill. They have never released an album that is anything less than excellent.

Starting points for both than? I'm almost done listening to this Death Grips thing... which is interesting, but nothing I plan on listening to regularly.

Not all David Bowie is the shit, but he is the shit. I still maintain that the answer is The Beatles, no matter how lazy that answer might be.

I'm flip-flopping between Deep Cuts and Silent Shout in terms of recommendations for The Knife. Probably Silent Shout for you, it's a little moodier; lots of fantastic textures. Deep Cuts is a little more poppy and a little more scatter-shot; some days I like it better, I dunno. Yeah, Silent Shout.
For Built to Spill... Again, I'm trying to tailor my recommendation to what I know of your taste, and although it wouldn't be my suggestion for a lot of other people, for you I'd call out Perfect From Now On. It's a real slow burn -- lots of multi-sectioned seven minute songs, stuff like that. Just fucking incredible, though. After thirteen years, that record still surprises me.

This may sound strange, but whenever I feel like listening to Bowie I tend to veer more toward his mid-late career stuff. The 90's stuff - Earthling, Hours, Heathen. Trent Reznor had a lasting impact on his songwriting from Earthling onward, and I think it makes for really interesting shit.
Not to discount the classics -- I fucking love me some Hunky Dory and some Ziggy. The Thin White Duke period was pretty tasteless, in retrospect.

Alright, I'm gonna go for both options and see how it pans out. Thanks gents!

Fuck no! Keep It Like A Secret is easily Built to Spill's most accessible album. Try that one, foxy.
