tv on the radio is my favorite band on your list apart from the obvious animal collective


i'm trying to shake radiohead as my favorite band not because i feel like they're an invalid favorite band like retti argues but mostly because i feel embarrassed to talk about them to people now

i liked i can hear the heart beating as one but that's all i listened to


i was told they're like "OK this band rocks but they have really bad early albums" but i'm the type of guy who dives off the high board immediately after eating

also this list remidns me that i should listen to more beyonce since her first album was really really good

i rarely go to my last.fm page if i'm looking for a new band/artist to listen to

i actually have a list of bands/artists to listen to on my phone's notepad
almost 10 years
my last.fm recommendations page includes the furthest corners of indie rock and i really won't listen to them any time at all

also good post

i can't really say why i hate britpop as a genre besides the fact that its name is britpop and that's such a contemptible compound word
almost 10 years
britpop is ok

debaser says

tell me when you end up listening to them, both are favorites of mine


i will eventually i just explore music at my own leisure and the national's aesthetic of tired white boy grunting about a woman seems to already wear me out. and grizzly bear is probably fine too i just have a weird avoidance thing about both of them

that and front bottoms and some other britpop band that keeps getting recommended to me. *wipes sweat with radiohead towel* god i hate britpop

nothing on this is all yours is as cool as "fitzpleasure", though, imo


good song, but i should relisten to this is all yours to agree/disagree


i agree unless you want to find a reason to like alt-j, in which case i'd recommend aaw first. i maintain that tiay is a pretty OK album and suffered internet backlash so most people gave it terrible reviews, but it's really a snazzy 6-7. it just has no single power since left hand free blows
