Where Boardies Smart Enough To Hide In The Lounge Recommend 2008 Bands

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

Goldfrapp isn't on there either.

[bballarl]

Mark Ronson is basically blue-eyed soul. He is a more straightforward Jamie Lidell. Basically, Jamie Lidell minus the experimental electronic leanings. And he doesn't really sing as much. Based on what I've heard.

[orbit]

Rabbit in the moon either.

[idrive1life]

The Swell Season
120 Days
Cinematic Orchestra
The Field
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

[full on idle]

I just listened to that Once soundtrack today, it surely is sweet.

[summerkid]

I'm operating under the assumption that everyone here knows the bands on the first 3 lines or so. So I'm going to try and go for some bands that are lower on the bill that interest me.

The Black Lips


The Cool Kids (esp since there is hardly any rap on the bill)


The Shout Out Louds

[bballarl]

Wow, the Cool Kids are rad.

YAY! I just realized Swell Season is in the lineup. fucking sweet

*OT, sorry Randy! -

Hi Valarie! I've seen Bridge to Terabithia. I was almost blown away by that one. I did'nt see the last 1/3 of that film coming. Yeah, I fucking love Once the movie and the soundtrack!*

[BROKENDOLL]

If we can, and I should have tried to do this myself in the first post, but let's include links if we're feeling up to it. Embedded Youtubes always preferable, pick whatever you think is the best example to sell us on the band.

Let's be helpful to each other, because there's a whole board of moron zombies in those other sections. We have to stick together or they will eat our brains.

Randy, may I please come and hide in here as well? I've begun my studying up and really can't hang with the Tiny Tot madness out there. BTW...Kudos to you for the Thank You Goldenvoice thread. It was about the only positive one here last nite. B.D.

[thelastgreatman]

Fine, but I'd appreciate it if you took note of how despicable all those idiots posting over and over again are. See how fucking annoying it is? Okay, now here's the thing you don't get: THAT'S WHAT YOU ACT LIKE. Sometimes. More so in the past, you've become less retarded recently, which we can all be thankful for. But just take note and try maintain some level of non-dumbshittery if I'm going to read your posts, okay?

[roberto73]

I'll do the YouTube/link thing a little later when I'm not at work. For now, my excitement is reserved for the lower-tier likes of:

Manchester Orchestra
120 Days
The Bees
Carbon/Silicon (Mick Jones from The Clash! How did I not know about this?)
Shout Out Louds
Enter Shikari
The Annuals

[Hannahrain]

Why didn't anyone tell me I loved The Bees?

[BROKENDOLL]

Yes sir.

[bballarl]

PF posted each band's Myspace and Youtube links at:

If you scroll down you will see it. Really helpful.

[idrive1life]

Yeah, The Bees!

[orbit]

I think I told you yesterday, Hannah.

Acknowledged, and I'm sure we'll all be going through that thoroughly. I figured this thread would be a nice place for highlights and youtube videos--perhaps ones we find even better than the ones linked on that page. Live vids also would probably be most helpful if anyone encounters some particularly good ones, as we all know what's good live and what's good on record ain't always the same thing.

[Hannahrain]

No, you said YOU like The Bees. You didn't say anything about how much I apparently like them. But ok. Acknowledged.

[Hannahrain]

Whoa.

Word. I just wanted to make sure people saw that. Wasn't trying to rain on your parade.

[gmoneyak]

I just listened to 100 days, 100 nights a couple days before the lineup was released..

I'm definitely checking out Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings

Also intrigued by:
120 days
The Bees
MGMT
The Swell Season
The Bird and the Bee
The Cool Kids

I'm diggin through some vids..

[bballarl]

I cannot reiterate enough how fantastic Sharon Jones was live.

[orbit]

Yeah, I remember now. Well, I'm glad you like them.

Thanks for the Swell Season suggestion, idrive1life.

[idrive1life]

No problem. *Orbit, Are you definitely going now? Who are your Top 5 must-see EDM acts?*

[bballarl]

I think one of the themes at Coachella this year is trashy electro. Because most of the bands I didn't know have turned out to be just that. Not that that is a bad thing. Coachella wants people to dance I guess.

[J~$$$]

The do lab should make a return.

[bmack86]

Randy, see you at MGMT/Yeasayer. MAKE SURE to get there in time to see Yeasayer. They are much better than MGMT.

[thelastgreatman]

Oh realsies? Alright, I will make note of that then.

You will not see me under any fucking circumstances at Les Savy Fav, though. =)

Just out of curiosity, what's the bmack feeling on Waters destroying the polo fields with awesomeness?

[bballarl]

Pitchfork said the Spiritualized Coachella performance will be Acoustic Mainlines. But I would expect that to be on the poster if that were the case.
