retitle the thread. give it a code word like "2006 applesauce thread" or something.

Thanks brotha.


I was thinking "Rice Vinegar For Housewives In 2006."

It has a certain ring to it.

Is it just me or is the lyrics of Brendan Benson just really underwhelming? I saw him open for someone years ago and wasn't impressed, and hearing his contributions here sounds very similar. It's not cringeworthy or anything, it's just very ordinary and not all that interesting. Jack's background vocals and I'm going to assume song arrangements keep the songs sounding pretty good.

I think we need a poll thread to decide the name for the new fake ysi thread.

that's cuz it's already indexed, it'll take quite some time to fall out of the index (if ever). new threads will not be indexed... (hint hint)


have you seen somewhere that lists who wrote what yet? or are you just going buy sings what song? cuz i've heard Jack wrote a lot of the lyrics, even songs he doesn't sing (and maybe vice versa, dunno). Brendan's lyrics aren't that great, no, but i've never though Jack White to be too great of a lyricist either truth be told...

Brendan comes from the Beatles school of songwriting & melody, and that's why i love him so much. like i've stated many times before, One Mississippi is f'n amazing. i'd take it over any Stripes record hands down.

A new eight-track St. Elsewhere promo just leaked... I'm getting it really slowly, doubt I'll be able to YSI it tonight. Heads-up if anyone else wants to do it.

That first song on the Delays album does it for me every time. The rest of the album is certainly enjoyable enough, but for me it never again reaches the heights of "You and Me."

agreed. "You and Me" will likely be one of my favorite tracks of the year, but the album as a whole is just solid.

Is this different than the eight-track promo that leaked a few day ago?

this isn't leaked as it came out a while ago in the u.k., but it is 2006 so i thought i'd put it in this thread rather than the other one. great little pop record, the beach boys and the beta band are two of the major influences as far as i can see.

jim noir - tower of love

The new Carina Round has leaked. Produced by Glenn Ballard, which had me skeptical, but it's not too bad, a big, full-sounding PJ-ish album (no surprise), with little electronic/synth touches.

neko case
artic monkeys
reupload
pretty please?

Here is some music biznatchs...this isnt leaked, but came out recently. Very good stuff, and the drums are fuckin incredible. The album pacing is a little wack, but meh...Rob Crow and Zach Hill bring the goods.

The Ladies- They Mean Us

Unsure, it just popped up last night. I hadn't seen any other than the earlier six and seven track promos. Here's what the page says:

you know A-team. I insulted you the first time I saw you around and you have really put yourself in a good position in my eyes because you like to give me free music that I like. this is some wild shit. like cheeta shit or something, maybe even wilder

So i know that they may not be the most popular band, but apparently Aloha has a new album coming out (and i am pretty much in love with them)...
Has anyone heard it, and better yet does anyone have a YSI of it? I'd really appreciate it.

OK. 380 posts.

Does it matter. Really.

I mean, do we need an overlord for the "we are buying/stealing shit and sharing it with others" thread? Come on.

I mean, I have only a handful of posts myself--but this is like what, the 4th generation of this message board for me--but some kind folks were cool enough to re-post the Raconteurs and the Delays the other day when I asked. Yo stroboscopia! I only have the Artic Monkeys tracks, however they are on my PC at home. I will be sure to upload and post a link to them later tonight. Promise.

you guys have been bitching about leechers for 10 pages now. go to a fucking invite only torrent site if you're worried about lamers.

I don't get invited anywhere and torrents are blocked here. I guess I fail, lol!

It's pretty annoying to be discussing music with people and not being able to join in as lurkers and guests eat YSIs.

If you can't be bothered to contribute my attitude is fuck off really.

see (Casual) Cinnamon Pooter, that was my plan from the beginning...i figured id buy your love with some free shit. im glad to see its working. i guess it helps that i bring the cheeta shit! i mean, the drums on "So Much for the Fourth Wall" is some of the nuttiest shit ive ever heard. thus im in love.

yes, i downloaded it when it leaked and i've been enjoying it. i'll up it for you in a bit.

britkid you kind of kick all kinds of ass....
any first impressions sound wise?

i'm not familiar at all with their previous stuff, so i can't compare it to that, and i'm pretty terrible at desciribing things in general, but it sounds like a poppy, ADD built to spill to me.

futureheads?

383 posts. Har-dee-har-har.

i deserve that

Don't think the Futureheads has leaked yet...

some more sahweet music for y'all...CFTPA plays lofi electonic music, with lyrics that are sorta reminiscent of Bright Eyes.

Casiotone For the Painfully Alone- Etiquette

once again, this isnt exactly leaked or anything, but it is new nonetheless. the lack of buzz surrounding this release is a shame. imo, it is right up there with the strongest releases of '06 so far.

aloha - some echoes for the phil

I looked them up on Google but didn't get many awnsers, could you explain there sound, I've downloaded to much stuff that I don't like, sorry.

check their myspace...if you like their first single "Young Shields," then you'll most likely enjoy the whole album. i am honestly lost for a description...maybe you can help. personally, i describe CFTPA as bedroom electronica, kinda similar to some of Chad Vangaalen's stuff (if you are familiar with him). it has very personal- and often painfully melancholic- lyrics overtop simple electronic beats.

ALSO: when exploring the blogosphere recently (i think it was GvB to be exact), i came across a band called Goodnight & Goodnight. they are really quite good, if you can tolerate the vocalist (which can be difficult sometimes). regardless, fans of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Wolf Parade should definitely check them out. ive posted three tracks from the upcoming EP below, but if you wanna hear the tracks first, you can do so here.

Goodnight & Goodnight- Liar. Hypocrite. Demon. Fool

pretty good, but not really my thing, thanks for the link though I tell some people about them who might like them more

i like the way you handled that...i hate it when people just download stuff (through YSI that is) and eat up the link only to delete it right after. that takes away from those who really would appreciate the music. (ok, so ive deleted an album that i downloaded once, but it was Without Feathers, and honestly, who coulda predicted that it would be THAT bad...gaaah )

Thanks for reminding me. I need to get that shit off my iPod before it starts to taint the other music on it.

Call me odd but I actually really like the vocalist. I don't know. It just works for some reason. In a weird way, I don't know why, but there's a hint of Thom Yorke in the sun hits her face. I'm sure most people won't hear it, but it sticks out to me.

i agree about the vocalist. i think his voice works well with the music, especially on "Ghosty Ghost" (my favorite track). i just pointed that out because early buzz on the band warned about his voice being annoying (only on the track "1915" do i find i kinda agree). btw, i too kinda hear Yorke in his voice.

The new Franz single isn't on iTunes. Does anyone have a good rip of it now?

Still only a good radio rip.

Final Fantasy - He Poos Clouds


Arctic Monkeys - Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys EP


p.s. does anyone have-
Soft - Hot Club and the Smoke Machine
Simon Bookish - Unfair/Funfair
Birdmonster - No Midnight

Rapidshare? Sorry, what is that all about...and how does that work? Register? Download software? And what is this Paris Hilton xxxxxxxxxxx.com site? Is this a joke? Have I been dooped? How many porn worms (or new porn worms) do I have on my PC now?

Artic Monkeys LP

wow! you are like my new favorite person. ive been waiting for Clouds since i first heard 2 tracks on their myspace a month or so back. i wish i could repay you by upping something, but i dont have any of those 3 albums youre looking for.

So the Living End have had a new album out for awhile, I guess. Anyone have that?
