oh i do that. i do read some blogs and mags however; who lives hermetically sealed?Why bother yourself with hype or whatever anyone else thinks for that matter? listen to what you like.
Thank God for Sirius satellite radioanything on the radio. fvck clear channel.
that's old person talk.most new music sucks donkey choads.
What you don't like Baroque Pop music?that's old person talk.
btw, TVOTR and Fleet Foxes almost made my list. ;D
have you checked out Bon Iver? i'm sure you couldn't escape him, being up in WI and all. actually a pretty good record.
yeah, I hear they are big with the computer chair mountain bikers.Neurosis
And the under 16 goth crowd. Two groups I will never understand.yeah, I hear they are big with the computer chair mountain bikers.
I don't mind these guys:
kings of leon
modest mouse
but I probably don't listen to enough radio.
Can't really remember the last "new" "pop" band I liked. I kinda like The Killers, but the lyrics are pretty thoughtless. I think some of there songs have maybe 15 different words in them total. It's like someone said write a short chorus and then constantly repeat it but change one word each time.
Pretty much just listed to Sirius Chill, The Joint(reggae), and some of the older hip hop channels.
While I have an adverse taste in music, I'm pretty finicky, I like The Mars Volta, but didn't like At the Drive in....go figure?
no...shut-in folk, lo-fi and very subdued. makes will oldham look like david lee roth.What you don't like Baroque Pop music?
Bon Iver is big up here but I couldn't tell you if I have ever heard him. Is he sort of techno pop-y club music? (i could be thinking of someone else)
so you never read about music, from any source? or listen to friend's recommendations?This whole thread sucks, no offense.
If you are aware of any "hype" surrounding a band, you're doing it wrong.
bon iver's first cd is fantastic; a really depressed and sick dude with minimal instruments and recording gear secluding himself in a wisconsin shack for the winter. walked out in the spring with the cd. after further investigation, i discovered that bon iver is actually the older brother of my friend's undergrad boyfriend. ah six degrees....What you don't like Baroque Pop music?

...& yeah, I feel like an old person when it comes to music.
i believe he said "current bands." you missed the boat by over a decade.2 more...

Not really. 95% of the music I like I found out either by seeing them at a show with other bands, or coming across their names from other similar bands. It's not like I read Rolling Stone to find out what the next up-and-coming band I might like is, or read it on Timmy's myspace blog.no...shut-in folk, lo-fi and very subdued. makes will oldham look like david lee roth.

Yea well.........maybe it's different if you listen to eclectic crap.don't discount Timmy's blog.
i do find that word of mouth still pretty valuable. wenner's had nothing of interest tumble from his mouth for decades, and i'm unsure why people still reference his rag, to be honest.
if one is relying on shows to find new bands, i'd bet they are doing it wrong (if i had to hazard a guess, i'd say that the average music fan probably goes to 5-8 shows per year, goes to see a band they already know, and most times skips the opening act(s))
the people who like hating clear channel....they should direct their energies into hating this putrescent sack of sh*t.wenner's had nothing of interest tumble from his mouth for decades, and i'm unsure why people still reference his rag, to be honest.

Screamo is terrible, that genre should not exist. There is some good emo out there, if you know were to look there isn't nearly as much whining.ANY emo/screamo band...stfu, quit whining and go find a new girlfriend or whatever.
