Timestretch EP is a great recommendation too... and Glitch Mob. Empty, your taste in music is impeccable. Barrel - Enjoy the Antlers. Hospice is a concept album that is meant to be listened to start to finish, so I recommend doing so rather than sampling random tracks... and be ready for a roller-coaster ride!

Go easy on him. He thinks the Residents are relevant. I don't even know what to say about Trolly McTrollerson ^here, so I will just suggest we move on. Shall we?

That's a fair assessment Shax. I haven't seen them but due to the lack of good bands on Friday I'm definitely gonna be there. Don't take my comment as a slight on DFA, I do like the raw energy of "You're a woman, I'm a machine" a lot. I just think it's weird that there's SO MUCH buzz. It's not like Rage is playing (another) reunion show.

yeah, I'm gonna have to miss Bright Eyes. I think by 8:00 I'm gonna want to be listening to more upbeat music. I'll be checking out Matt & Kim and then the Glitch mob during their set.

Pea - how do you think I did on the other ties - I tried to sort them according to my level of stoke to see them.
Edit: except for ranking # 34. I don't know what happened there.

Oh come on! Chromeo is fun and all - a great live show to be sure - but Wolf Parade is 10x the band Chromeo is. Apologies to the Queen Mary is one of those albums that is going to stand the test of time. Can't say that about Fancy Footwork, even though it has some great party and dance tunes.

As a huge Wolf Parade fan, I'm glad that the boarders are (seemingly) as excited as I am to see their last show. It kinda sucks that they're mid-afternoon, and relatively short but beggars can't be choosers I guess.
Bassnectar is going to be insane, and I'm glad everyone's psyched for that show. I've seen him twice in the last year and he blew the speakers up both times - one of which he damaged the sound system so bad he couldn't finish his set. <EPIC ENDING>
I'm Pretty shocked to see DFAMCMLXXIX at #2 - I know it's a "reunion" show but jeez - they only have one album people.
Bands that are lower down on the list which I highly reccomend are: Wye Oak, Smith Westerns, The Antlers, and Mariachi el Bronx (which only appeared on 2 lists and therefore not on the above compilation).
Oh - and for the love of god go see Rodrigo y Gabriella if you haven't yet. I was luke warm on them until I saw them last Saturday at the SF Oysterfest. Both are incredibly talented guitarists and a pleasure to watch.

Hello everyone! Long time lurker, First time poster. Really digging this thread so I thought this would be a good place to get my feet wet. This by no means reflects the entire breadth of my musical tastes, just some albums I've been getting into the last couple weeks.
Brand-New: Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie xx - we're new here Wye Oak - Civilian Wiz Khalifa - Rolling Papers Panda Bear - Tomboy Toro y Moi - Underneath the Pine
These have been out a while, but I'm just getting into them: Mariachi el Bronx - self titled - can't wait to see them live! The Tallest Man on Earth - Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird Kids and Explosions - Shit Computer Gorillaz - Plastic Beach Twin Shadow - Forget. - Just saw them in SF - INCREDIBLE SHOW> Don't miss @ Sasquatch!
good to finally get the first one out of the way. You'll be seeing more of me in the coming weeks. WOOHOO!!!!
