  1. Desaparecidos has Conor Oberst in it, it's good, but I'm not really into hardcore music. The Good Life is like a mellowed out Cursive, I actually prefer them to Cursive. Umm...The Postal Service is really good, it's Ben Gibbard from Death Cab for Cutie and Jimmy from Dntel (and Jenny Lewis :wub: from Rilo Kiley sings backup sometimes). That's all I can think of so far.

  2. I totally forgot about that.

    I didn't think it would have the same impact as Original Pirate Material, but it was even better. For those who haven't heard it, its like a continuous story told through music. Really great stuff.

    And, yes, Empty Cans is a fantastic end to the album - clears everything up and makes you want to listen all the way through again.

    "Dry Your Eyes" made me cry. :unsure:

  5. Yes, we had one of these before. Twas always fun.

    Anyway, let me kick things off....!

    CD

    1: Neutral Milk Hotel - "Communist Daughter"

    2: Sonic Youth- "The Diamond Sea"

    4: Modest Mouse- "Summer"

    5: !!!- "Kookaku! Fuk- U!"

    7: Bjork- "Army of Me"

    8: Breeders- "Iris"

    9: My Bloody Valentine- "Loomer"

    10: Godspeed you! Black Emperor- "Blaise Bailey Finnegan III"

    12: Porcupine Tree- "Titre 7"

    13: Slowdive- "Allison"

    14: The Smiths- "How soon is now?"

    Jeff Mangum is a genius. Props to you for adding Neutral Milk Hotel to your CD, although "Two-Headed Boy" would've been a better choice in my opinion.

  6. QUOTE

    Damien Rice - Cannonball

    Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth

    Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt

    Still a little hard to say what's going on

    Still a little bit of your ghost your witness

    Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed

    You step a little closer each day

    That I can't see what's going on

    Stones taught me to fly

    Love taught me to lie

    Life taught me to die

    So it's not hard to fall

    When you float like a cannonball

    Still a little bit of your song in my ear

    Still a little bit of your words I long to hear

    You step a little closer to me

    So close that I can't see what's going on

    Stones taught me to fly

    Love taught me to lie

    Life taught me to die

    So it's not hard to fall

    When you float like a cannon

    Stones taught me to fly

    Love taught me to cry

    So come on courage

    Teach me to be shy

    'Cause it's not hard to fall

    And I don't want to scare her

    It's not hard to fall

    And I don't wanna lose

    It's not hard to grow

    When you know that you just don't know

    Lyrically one my favourite songs and one of a few that can make me cry, particularly going through a break up in the past.

    I love Damien Rice. "Lonelily" is a great song, as is "Volcano".

  7. He's not much of a musician, but he's probably one of the greater lyricists out there today... And true, Commander Venus was a great start. Desaparecidos (I hope I spelt it right) is pretty good if you're into that emocore stuff, it's not At The Drive-In, but it's still decent.
