Some douche will make another thread in a few weeks because they can't find this one, but here we go, cause I've already started on some new music.

Cloud Nothings - Attack On Memory

As uneven as their previous outings. There are some epic noisy jams, and there are awesome indie pop/rock nuggets. File this under Won't Win Any New Fans. Not too bad, though.

That band did nothing for me when I heard them a year or two ago. Probably won't check this one out.

After about 5 albums they will have an album's worth of great stuff.

Granted I love everything he does, but the John K Samson album is wonderful.

Right now listening to the new Nada Surf album. I bet Christian (and maybe Doc and Mikey) and other Superdrag/Harvey Danger/etc. fans would really dig it.

i didnt realize it was readily available

i just grabbed that. i've never really listened to them, but i know their drummer played with harvey danger for a bit. the title is cool so i figured i'd check it out

the new of Montreal: i. just. don't. get it. what is this guy trying to do? such a bummer because I like the first 7 albums are so!

If you like this one check out Proximity Effect and Let Go. They're incredible records.

Yeah "Blonde on Blonde" off of Let Go is my favorite Nada Surf song.

doctoracula · « **Reply #13 on:** January 14, 2012, 10:27:10 PM »

is it about the album?
i remember hearing a lot about Let Go when it came out, but then never heard it. except for one song that was in how i met your mother

doctoracula · « **Reply #14 on:** January 14, 2012, 10:50:18 PM »

oh, i did get the girl with the dragon tattoo soundtrack. i doubt i'll ever get through the whole thing

doctoracula · « **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2012, 07:31:47 PM »

the john samson, jealous sound, and nada surf albums are all great
samson's especially
"when i write my master's thesis" has to be a reference to "when i paint my masterpiece", right?

edit: i just compared the lyrics. it definitely is. that makes it even better

bort · « **Reply #16 on:** January 16, 2012, 08:22:18 PM »

yeah the john k album is nothing new at all. but i love his style so i'm totally ok with this album.

doctoracula · « **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2012, 08:23:17 PM »

i really like the changes he made to the 7" songs. "stop error" is listenable now!
i'm also glad he threw some rock songs on there. it's more varied than i expected.

Slow Jets - Exit The Age is really good!

sounds a bit like GBV.

right now, provincial is my favorite. followed closely by the craig finn record. then the nada surf LP. the jealous sound record is disappointing. it just makes me want to listen to the first one. got fucked up's "year of the tiger" 12" today!

bort · « **Reply #21 on:** January 26, 2012, 10:55:50 PM »

are you a huge Craig Finn fan?

doctoracula · « **Reply #22 on:** January 26, 2012, 10:56:28 PM »

pretty much. the hold steady put out my favorite record of the 00s. i'm not that into lifter puller but i love everything else

parock · « **Reply #23 on:** January 26, 2012, 11:47:25 PM »

The CF album is pretty great. "My Friend Jesus" is skip-able at best, cringeworthy at worst.

Love "No Future" and "Rented Room".

doctoracula · « **Reply #24 on:** January 26, 2012, 11:48:19 PM »

doesn't "Apollo Bay" sound just like "On the Beach"??
