Anyone listen to rappers from Indie labels like Def Jux, Rhymesayers or Epitaph?

I'm a big fan of Murs, MF Doom (the guy in my avatar), Slug, Mr. Lif, among others.

Woah. Haven't posted here in a while.

Tomorrow I am going to San Francisco to see Say Hi to Your Mom and Nada Surf play. To be honest, I haven't really listened to Say Hi after the release of their latest cd.

I've been looking for "Umbrella" by the Snowmen, and suprisingly google has provided only a little bit of help.

All I know about the Snowmen (and it's not even concrete information) is that the vocalist was a man named Cole Marquis, who was also the vocalist of other bands which included 28th Day and Downsider.

If anyone can find the song (or any song by Cole, actually), please send it to me via AIM. (sn = oh oh the agony)

xo, Pauline

edit:
William, I have the original version of "Falling Out of Love with You". If you still want it, IM me.

edit:
I found the song. Good God, I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw the link. http://www.noisepop.com/mp3s/cole_marquis_umbrella.mp3

^i actually found someone who had the first 6ths album on soulseek, but thanks.

i love "how to tie a noose" by spinnaker. it's so eerie how much he sounds like conor oberst.

I like Starlight Mints. Not sure if anyone has mentioned them.
And Orenda Fink has the vocals of an angel.

xo, Pauline

Yeah, I'm fond of Starlight Mints. "Brass Digger" is awesome.

I've been getting in to french music lately.

Oh, I love Orenda Fink, but unfortunately haven't managed to find more than 2 of her songs

i like Maria Taylor as well

hence, I find myself falling back in love with Azure Ray

The Go! Team are interesting, and I haven't yet decided whether or not I like them

pssh. the go! team.

pssh.

The Go! Team are awesome! How can you hate them man? Songs are sooo catchy.

pssh... over-rated, over-hyped, magazine filler

What the F___k! ?? how can u say you live in Shitty england ? .....thats like where you could get the best taste ion music .... im loving UK bands right now .

tell m ewho and i'll tell you if i agree.

and i wasnt really talking about england being shitty in terms of music, but ok.

Malik Yusef anyone?

try "bottle rocket" or "friendship update".


I'm loving british bands right now too. Well, not really right now. But, I'm in love with Pulp.

you'll never live like common people... you'll never watch your life, slide out of view

and the dance
and drink
and screw

because there's nothing else to dooooooooo

^What?

Animal Collective

she said she was in love with pulp... those are lyrics from 'common people'

Oh, alrighty then. I figured it tied in somehow.

I'm very glad to be home- it was immensely hard to type on the keyboard at school

No, I'm not spamming

umm...I'm listening to We Are Scientists right now, and finding them pretty enjoyable

CUT YOUR HAIR AND GET A JOB! RENT A FLAT ABOVE THE SHOP! SMOKE SOME FAGS AND PLAY SOME POOL PRETEND YOU NEVER WENT TO SCHOOL.
(from "common people")


animal collective is good. I'm quite fond of "Who Could Win a Rabbit" by them.

I really like The Purple Bottle. I'm in search of the rest of their cd.

Interesting story behind the Drexlers. The middle school orchestra teacher (well, he left the year after us, but anyway) is part of the band, and my friend actually recorded with them as well (guess who that would be, James ). Hm, but so I recommmend.

As for the Go! Team, I've decided I like "The Power is On"

Okayyyy

Styrofoam made a mediocre remix of the Postal Service's "Nothing Better," but did another sing with Ben Gibbard that I like a rather lot. I just downloaded some Crystal Skulls as well.

Citizens Here and Abroad are really good.
You guys should check them out, --it'll be worth it.

xo, Pauline

^i listened to the mp3's on their site, and it definitely was worth it.

i finally got "plans". it's a lot better than i expected.

Forgot to post this link earlier.

Argh they played in San Francisco a few times this week but I didn't find out until now.

xo, Pauline

five times august is nice... he's very... nice, i suppose is the word.

still hes good for a cheery mood

I just got back from seeing Stars and Death Cab.

dfiudsfsif
:]]]

I like Blood on the Tracks.

xo, Pauline

the new her space holiday cd is so good. i've been listening to a lot of math the band, imogen heap, and thunderbirds are now! lately. also, i read in an interview that daniel radcliffe's favorite bands are stars and we are scientists, which was a pleasant surprise.

WILLIAM!!!

I love We Are Scientists! I don't have the whole thing, but I agree that what I've heard of the new Her Space Holiday was quite good. Same of Imogen Heap. I discovered The Changes last night, and they were pretty good, and Speaker Speaker is fun too. I like the Arctic Monkeys a lot, no matter what James says about them being overrated, and Cat Power and Cocorosie are pretty good too. New Buffalo seems to have potential, but Ihaven't yet decided whether or not I like the new Fiery Furnaces stuff. What Made Milwakee Famous, the Arogants, etc etc. I downloaded a lot more Ted Leo last night, and Stars, too

the arctic monkeys also arent undeground, but ok = )

anyway. my friends band ar pretty darn good consiering they have only been together a week, i'll post some songs later

They are HERE

I hve never seen them ANYWHERE off mp3 blogs

deep breathes.

they have had a number one hit in the UK charts.

Well, I don't exactly follow them. I haven't seen any signs of them or even anyone who knows who they are here.

Oh, and Jenny Lewis's new album has leaked, but I haven't listened to the whole thing yet

I actually rather like Arctic Monkeys, I downloaded a bunch of their tracks, but I like "Fake Tales of San Francisco" a ton. I picked up a copy of NME and apparently they're the "it" thing in the UK. They're still damn awesome.
Recently, I've been getting in to Wheat. I think they were on the Elizabethtown soundtrack (did anyone even see that movie?).

i've been too busy with school to discover new bands, but i am getting into the american analog set a lot more. i don't like cocorosie much. and daniel radcliffe actually said his favorite band was the arcade fire... i just too excited because i finally remembered my cb password (took almost a month!) and finally got to post.

ooh, so that's why you hadn't been on! I've actually been doing a lot of new band discovering, because it's a nice way to clear my mind when I'm really stressed out. I've actually only listened to one CocoRosie song, but it was pretty good in a strange way. It's nice that Daniel Radcliffe has good taste, heh.

One Amazin Kid is sooo pretty
tis the best in the world
and they are awesome live
and the lead singer is really nice

any1 like jedi mind tricks?

^ sort of.

you guys heard of sweatshop union? name reminds me of dead prez, but they are like seven white dudes who do conscious rap.

http://www.sweatshopunion.com/

werd.

Jedi Mind Tricks is aight. Has he released anything new?

Jay Bezel, anyone?

Anyone an MF Doom fan?

mf doom is a creative dude, but i just can't get into him. speaking of creative, lupe fiasco is the truth.

^Ay nukka, IM me: MosDef613

Lupe is nice man. I looked him up after he referred to Lupin the 3rd on KanYe's album.

Doom is sick, but his voice and accent is something to get used to. I'm still trying to figure out why he wears that mask.

mmm... public enemys cool ;]
dont know if you would consider them underground.
yeah i still stand by tec9.
mosdef;de la soul;q-tip. its hot listening to them.

jmt is a group

btw if any one wants to check this out, i know this up and coming rap group called the C.A.D.E.T.S. that have the illest lyrics and tha sikest flow. has some links to song clips. on soundclick.com

I AM IN LOVE WITH PORTUGAL THE MAN. dujhfufudsf

http://myspace.com/portugaltheman

xo, Pauline

oh, i've heard of them. have't listened yet, though. i like the cover of the album a lot

doom is pretty sick. his delivery is weird tho and hes not sayin much lyrically. he has some nice samples tho. go to his myspace to learn why he wears the mask.

Listen to AKA M80 the Wolf.
:)

xo, Pauline

I like The Changes :)

Speaker Speaker and The Light Footwork as well

^never heard of em

^ Then why post?

I like Meriwether

i downloaded the jenny lewis/watson twins album that's coming out in 2006 and it's wonderful. i have to thank you for mentioning redlightglow, nicki!

you're welcome, i find it extremely helpful. i think most of jenny lewis' album is prettygood, but a couple of tracks like "big guns" are a little too country for me. i particularly like "handle with care," the one that features ben gibbard and conor oberst

i'm really liking sunny day real estate right now, but i can'tfind anymore of their music. same with sparklehorse.

i like what i've heard of belle and sebastian's new album as well
