Mates of state <333333
I saw them last night. =]



I think I love you. haha but no really, awesome taste in music



So awesome. I wouldnt recommend seeing them live though.
I mean the first 2-3 times I saw them live, it was really good.
but now, schuylar is so drunk/high he doesnt sing, and if he does, its only a little bit of the song. He also changes the words around and dances around while passing the mic to the crowd. He also licked the guitarist last time I saw them.

I dont remember if I listed these... oh well
-Ratatat
-Shiny Toy guns
-Mates of state
-Maria Taylor
-Ben davis and the jets
-Kill whitney dead
-Seneca
-Secret lives of the freemasons <333

*Humps your leg*
It appears you have quite good taste in music. And that makes me happy.


Matt Pond PA makes me cream.

No, neither did I. I liked them the first time I heard them, but I think that was just the mood was in. Vastly overrated.


They were big in England first, so that might not be the best logic on that one.

I don't understand why you get all the good concerts (and can find people who like your music enough to go with). I WANT TO GOOOOOOO!!


You seem to too, if your Now Pornographers reference and Matt Pond PA are any indication.

i meant in britain.

they have the fastest selling debut album ever in britain

No way. I'm the best thing since slice bread. Wait no, it's instant soup... Point is, arctic monkeys are good.

sliceDDDDDDDDDD

well THAT was odd.

they aren'tbad, per se, there is just to much of them

Hoorayyy.

Apparently, the most current album from the Arctic Monkeys was #24 on US charts, which is the highest any indie band has ever been in the US. They're a good band, I just don't see the big attraction, really.

Not everything over here in the Midwest is good, Nicki.
Fall Out Boy was the worst thing to ever happen to Chicago.

It's just that Chicago's a huge city, like, one of the central four needing to be hit up by tours (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas), so people will always come here.

I wish I could go to Coachella, but that's so far away...

I would be going to all days of Lolla, but my grandma just HAS to come that weekend. I hate my grandma. She's the old Jewish lady from Long Island who now lives in West Palm Beach. The perfect stereotype. All she does when she comes is tell me how fat I am. Geh! And I have to miss such a perfect Lolla lineup for that?!

fi resent the fact that in order to see the academy is, i have to buy fall out boy tickets.

hopefully the time will come when they can headline their own tour here.

to make this more topical, some people may enjoy Let Down, who are made up of a bucnh of guys who graduated from my school last year.

Ugh. Fall Out Boy. Ick.

It's not that no one comes to Atlanta, I'm just not friends with too many people who share my musical tatses. We don't really get any decent festivals, though. The best we had was Music Midtown, which was just mediocre, and that's been cancelled now. SXSW made me wish I lived in Texas.

I'm probably going to Chicago next spring (so see, James, there must be things there other than, you know, "that big tower thing")

YOU'RE MEETING ME.

lol. that big tower thing. how amusing was that?

hmm. im trying to debate whther or not to buy fall out boy tickets and leave after the academy is are done. but the only way people wil go with me is if i adrag the fallout boy fans.

in which case, im dressing up as an emo kid. black hair dye, eyeliner, skinny jeans and all.

You should do it just to dress up like that and take about 607 pictures while you're at it.

i enjoy the arctic monkeys. but mostly just because they remind me SOOO much of the libertines. like, it's almost wrong how much alike they sound to me. and, i dig the libertines. because they make me happy.

as for artists no one has ever heard of, i can't say i like all that many. i don't keep score on who is known more than who. but, i do know that i am in love with a band that VERY few people know of. of course, they are no longer a band. but, they were plow monday. a few years ago, they were big on this website called alternative addiction or something. i fell in love then. and then they disappeared. i ended up emailing the singer/songwriter and having him send me a burned cd of their songs. for free. it's amazing. he's one of my heroes.

Atari Teenage Riot.

Some good ol' digitial hardcore.

^ I loved Atari Teenage Riot. I was really bummed when Crack died.

Well, he almost seemed dead before. I would assume the guy did alot of very hard drugs. I guess some of his vocals will be missed, but for the most part, it seemed like he just stood around and looked goofy.

OOOOOH YES WE HAVE TO!!!


yeah, that was more than a little sad on my part

but then, you couldn't find the word doctor...

hahaha, have fun in those jeans

im going to do it for halloween anyway, so either way, pictures are coming. and i just think it'll be effing hilarious



the libertines? really? i have never hjeard that before. if you like the libertines, chances are youy already know Babyshambles, and Dirty Pretty Things. if not, check them out right now.


lol. that was funny. a campaign of seething loathe upon you!

mmm. those jeans were not made for people who enjoy freedom of movemnet. how do girls cope, material clinging to their legs like that?>

I suppose... but that was sort of his schtick. At least at the time I thought it was. But yeah, he was pretty much strung out. Oh well. He was *part* of the group to me, is all.

I don't like Babyshambles.

I don't wear jeans that tight, but actually I guess I do to an extent, because I buy them too small because they stretch out over the course of a coupole of hours sitting down. I think I move around too much. But I'll buy a perfect fitting pair of jeans and far too quickly they'll be giant on me. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Noone knows them in Hong Kong, sadly

Yeah she's from my country so everytime someone goes back there, I get new CDs from that country, and her CD is always included.

i saw the 22-20s supporting oasis. they were good

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone! I heard they were on The O.C. a few weeks ago though, which was exciting.

No one knows Bayside where I am.

^ I have their album lol.

I don't watch the OC, but I can't say I'm terribly fond of Casiotone, which is a shame because I like the name.

You're not at where I am!

Yen, that was a horribly constructed sentence and I disapprove.

I love Voxtrot. I want their new EP, but alas, it's not on itunes and it's certainly not in any record stores nearby.

^You don't live in my area? Is that better?

Yeah. Sorry. Heh.

I can, for the record, correct people without being horrid. I mean, was that so awful, Yen? You're okay, right?

haha what? I don't know if you're serious or sarcastic, but I just corrected it. I hope I didn't make it seem like you hurt my feelings I knew you were joking earlier because of this --> but...okay?

No, I was joking because of Mindy's topic on militant gammar nazis.

I didn't think your feelings were hurt, and I appreciate you correcting it, because I just couldn't resist.

ech. I quit

viet911

Im starting to like Animosity... they are very heavy. haha
And maria taylor = <3

I've been getting into the Dandy Warhols lately. They're the stangest band, though. They have some amazing songs, but just as many that are completely intolerable.

I like Rachael Yamagata, but I don't think cb people count as far as this topic is concerned.

i just saw maria taylor on someones mysapce a second ago, and wondered who she was... how odd...

i'll give it a listen

I like Maria Taylor. She and Orenda Fink (both with solo albums) make up Azure ray

She also opens for Mates of State, but the people I know who went didn't like her at all.

The Rolling Stones.
I bet none of you have heard of them.

...
I'm kidding, of course.
Let's see:
Sia?
Anthony Green?
