i guess i am basing KoL on the 3 songs i saw 'em play in '07 when i was shooting their show. definitely blah, but then again some bands take a while to get going, or construct a poor set list.

MM has one great song "Dramamine" but goddamn does isaac brock's vocals/singing style grate on me.

Agree on Animal Collective!

also: Tapes and Tapes.

Sheesh is all I can say: If I know about these bands (and my musical taste officially ended in 2001), what's going on with you all? :rant:

I've been enjoying Blitzen Trapper lately. Are they overrated? I need to know in case I run into any hiptsters I want to impress.

Back in the mid 90's I got a phone call from the Lord who said Modest Mouse kicked ass.

They used to play all over Seattle in the 90's - always great shows, in my uneducated opinion.

girl talk
i really wish i got to see girl talk live last spring, i heard it was a dope show.

the best part about mashups is how instantly recognizable songs (that usually are or at one point were very popular) are put together to create something new that generally you can dance to. this appeals to the college crowd, which is the group you want to grab the attention of if you want your music to become very popular.

take this song for example, it's not by girl talk but it is just plain awesome.

Girl Talk: ZOMG so many top 40 rap songs at once!!!

Kings of Leon: ZOMG it's standard rock music!!!!

Modest Mouse: ZOMG they're so edgy!!!

Crystal Castles: ZOMG they use vidya muzic with dance music!!!

There you go, the hype revealed.

Well they're both sample-based, my point being that you can make interesting stuff that doesn't rely 100% on sample recognition.

Hell, look at any good electro/house DJ...

EDIT: Also, kid606=/= techno. IDM maybe. Music genre freak reporting in. :D

kanye is a very very gifted producer and beat maker but **** me sideways if his music does not blow donkey balls. add to the fact he is the biggest bean bagger, pussy whining bitch i have ever heard makes me just not like him at all. His music blows his beats are sick. its how it has always been.

i will also add:
technine

everyone in montana wants to give tech a bj and take a shot on their chin for him. he is just another ****ty rapper with too much hype. he is a character rapper like busta rhymes, ja rule, dmx etc
