so its the link, not the embed code... lets give this another go.
Ok, some things for multiple people...
First off, Sharks keep Moving. I'm sure some of you have heard of them because they contain Jake Snyder, Jay Clark, AND Morgan Henderson before any of these people were in big bands. Its like... I guess its like if Minus the Bear was a jazz combo. In a word, sublime.
Tera Melos is a "math rock" or "experimental rock/ pop/ jazz/ awesome" or whatever you want to call them. They are a band that has evolved greatly over the course of their 2 full lengths, two eps (one of covers), and one split. Every album is different, and every album is just as good as the next. Here's a couple from across the spectrum, including a cover of "hey sandy". That's right, the pete and pete theme song. In order of release...
The only song that never, ever, ever fails to put a smile on my face.
Math rock. I know everyone hates the term, but it does have its place. I mean, experimental is a good description as well, but that's such a wide thing, and Math rock does kind of narrow it down.
Now someone mentioned Zach Hill. He and the main guy from the previous band have a side project called bygones. Its... well, its exactly what you'd expect from the two of them: Very chaotic, and yet beautiful when your mind can finally organize it.
Lots more where this came from, tell me if you guys like any of this stuff!
P.S. if you like sharks keep moving and you haven't heard the song "like a river" you owe it to yourself to take 13 minutes of your life, go on grooveshark, find it, sit down, shut up, close your eyes, and soak it in. I promise you you will thank me.

Ok.. so I haven't really contributed anything awesome to this board so far.. I've just been taking all of your music suggestions. I'm pretty small town, so I haven't really discovered that much music (although compared to my friends, I'm like some kind of music queen). But I'll share a little of what I know, and leave it up to you guys to decide! So here we go:
Meet Hollerado, they're from a really small town in Ontario, and most likely in the indie rock category. I first saw them opening for USS and their live show was crazy. The mics were a little off, but they had great energy and there was a lot of headbanging on my part and improv on their part. I bought their LP at the show, and fell in love soon after. I have seen them once since then in a tiny bar, and I ended up on stage with them singing along. If I had to suggest one song, it would be Americanarama, because it is an awesome song, and the video is very very well made. Apparently it cost less than 500 dollars to make and they did it in one take! Have a looksee!

I see tons of people wearing Hollerado sweatshirts around town, and they're all kinda scrumy looking older dudes. They must've dropped off a box of their merch at a salvation army or something.

That makes me sad. There wasn't any scrumy looking older dudes at the shows.. Except that one dude with his kid. That was weird. And there was a blind guy who kept pooping in to me.

Solid marketing plan. Homeless people in my experience cover a great deal of ground on a given day. Warmth for them, Free advertising for you.

A friend of mine just got me into Tera Melos the other day. Then he played Hey Sandy and I got mad because I thought my band was the only band ever to cover it.

Ah, but does your band throw in a little Beach Boys in the middle? That's what really makes that song for me... And the video is spot fucking on.

Oh yeah, their version is totally better. Ours was just the exact same as the original.

Boys Noize dropped a new compilation album today out of the freakin blue (as far as I knew). Sounds pretty good so far, but a little trancier (is that even a word?) than his other releases.

My friend played a good deal of Patagonian Rats as well as the Tame, Hey Sandy, and Blast Off covers

Patagonian rats is really really good. It took a while to grow on me, but it's definitely one of their better efforts. I really like it when the Weezer influence comes through. Ah, they're so melodic. I can't wait to see them again! March 15th...

So I listened to LCD Soundsystem all day at work today, and it really reminded me of this local band that I really like. I thought some of you guys might like it too!

Snorlax Approved
The beginning of this song- the whole thing, really- is so catchy it can't be denied. I've probably had this stuck in my head more over the past 2 years than any other song.
And this shit is just plain impressive.
