Something on Discovery, probably "One More Time" or "Aerodynamic."

Technically a compilation - The Singles: 1969-1973

What is your favourite lyric that 4 has sung?
From "Where Do You Run To:"
"It's alright, just leave the light on
I will never ask you why
Once you've gone remains the question baby
Where do you go?
Why do you leave me all alone?
Where do you run to baby?"
(more than one, I know - it's the whole song!)


How many times have you seen 5 live?
Never, but he's still performing, so hopefully someday!

What is your favorite song by 7?
"Walkabout" - the one with Noah Lennox/Panda Bear.

What is a good memory you have involving the music of 10?
I don't have a specific memory pertaining to Deerhunter. I just really love Cryptograms.

Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
It's really dependent on mood. Songs from Out of Time make me melancholy sometimes, particularly "Half a World Away" and "Belong."

What is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung?
From "All We Know:"
"Let's take a lot of time to say
I knew you well
For only time
Will tell so
And love may grow
For all we know"

What is your favorite song by 9?
I don't have a favorite yet because I just started listening to them. :|

How did you get into 3?
I didn't necessarily grow up with them, but it was one of those bands in my formative years that was always present. I vaguely remember Automatic for the People being released, but I was four years old then. I didn't really pay attention to R.E.M. until I was fifteen, when I listened to Document all the way through. I guess it went from there.

What was the first song you heard by 1?
That would have to be "Memory," since that's what the first episode of Cowboy Bebop opens with.

What is your favorite song by 4?
I'm still not sure.

How many time have you seen 9 live?
Never. D:

What is a good memory you have involving 2?
Just growing up in general. The Carpenters were something that my Mom always kept in the house. She wouldn't play them often, but she loved them anyway. I remember being seven years old and seeing an infomercial for their Love Songs compilation, and I absolutely loved the music.

Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
I have mixed feelings about all of Adorable's material. Against Perfection is a stellar album, but I associate it with my ex-boyfriend. Sometimes it makes me happy, sometimes it makes me sad, sometimes it turns into a clusterfuck of emotions. But I think the only song that still really gets me is "Have You Seen the Light."

What is your favorite album of 5?
Off White, which was under the James White and the Blacks name.

What is your favorite lyric that 3 has sung?
There are so many! No way I can pick a favorite.

What is your favorite song of 1?
"Adieu" and "Dijurido" are tied.

What is your favorite song of 10?
I don't know if I'd settle on FAVORITE favorite, but I like the intro track to Cryptograms a lot.

How many times have you seen 8 live?
None. They're not even a band anymore. D:

What is your favorite album of 1?
Either Blue or Future Blues. But really, all their material is awesome.

What is a great memory you have considering 9?
None yet - again, just started listening to them.

What was the first song you heard by 8?
Uhhhhh I wanna say "Still Life," but it really could have been anything. My dad played both albums constantly when I was a kid.

What is your favorite cover by 3?
"Femme Fatale," I guess.

3. How many albums by 13 do you own?

4. What is your favorite song by 5?
The Smiths haha finally a question about them! did they write a bad song?

The Sugargliders and Spearmint

we had to re-populate the world...

the two of us were kidnapped
locked up in a room
left alone for days
we had to find something to do
then when i awoke
i'd missed my stop again
my head in my hands
ignoring you to make you want me
was my only strategy
oh how come girls
are more mature than boys?"

entradas baratisimas tambien, por lo que se lleno bastante. no soy ultra fan del pibe ni de bright eyes, para mi estuvo OK, cumplio y nada mas. las bandas soporte OK tambien.

14. Muse - Gran Rex [24.07.2008]
entradas caras al pedo jajaja fui porque sino me iba a arrepentir, la verdad. todo bien eh, en vivo suenan como la puta madre pero por la ubicacion que compre no pagaria eso ni en pedo. mucho hype que jugo en contra, si hubieran venido hace 4 años cuando me gustaban mas, habria sido totalmente distinto.

15. The Draytones - The Roxy [01.11.2008]
despues de andar todo el dia en la calle parada por alguna razon u otra, esperaba llegar al roxy tipo 2 y que empezara, pero nooooo!! jajaja la puta madre a las 4 empezo y encima duro media hora. ojo, fue una muy buena media hora pero yo esperaba otra cosa. despues la noche remonto con la musica que pasaron ahi y los pibe de la banda que son una masa.

16. Bob Dylan - Velez [15.03.2008]
llegue tarde y me perdi 2 temas, una poronga. ya se, no es culpa del viejo, pero estamos hablando de mis recitales (?). despues escuchando el bootleg, tampoco es que me perdi de algo zarpado, excepto por algunos gallos(?) ajjaja. y confirmo que velez es una MIERDA para recitales. podra escucharse bien, pero es un viaje de ida... salis y estas en pelotas, en un universo paralelo donde no hay transporte publico ni lugar cercano donde conseguir alguno.

discos

los que no aparecen aca seguramente no eran lo suficientemente buenos, o ni tienen importancia en mi vida :P

• mis favoritos:

Attic Lights - Friday Night Lights
ahh powerpop del bueno. no es de sorprender: son escoceses, colaboraron con algunos artistas grosos (bmx bandits, cerys matthews, etc) y el disco fue co-producido por grancis macdonald, batero de teenage fanclub, jefe y creador de shoeshine records (con quien attic lights tienen contrato), y manager de camera obscura. you get the picture(?).

Boy Genius - Anchorage
estos son bastannnnte desconocidos. ni siquiera como ni cuando me baje el disco, pero me encanto desde la primera escuchada. pop tranqui, muy pero muy lindo. deben tener muy pocos fans porque el mismo dia que lo escuche, me agregaron ellos al myspace jajajajajaja.

British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
que esperar de bsp? de este siempre me olvido porque leakeo bastante temprano, apenas empezaba 2008 y para fin de 2007 ya habia escuchado el krakenhaus ep, asi que se sabia como venia la mano. por lo que lei tambien los recitales que dieron en esta gira fueron tan buenos como el disco, ademas del concepto de las banderitas y todo eso.

Broken Social Scene Presents: Brendan Canning - Something For All Of Us...
mucho mejor que el de kevin drew jaajaj lastima que al final no vinieron una chota, hijos de puta todos!! bah putos los brasucas, yo ya tenia mi entrada. ya se, no lo supere. es que estas canciones en vivo deben estar aun mejores que en estudio.

Dr. Dog - Fate
toda persona que lo haya escuchado seguramente este de acuerdo en ponerlo entre los mejores del año, aunque teniendo en cuenta el resto de la discografia, no es algo que sobresalga. es que siempre son asi de buenos (BABA)

Go-Neko! - Una Especie de Mutante
uuy uno nacional! jaja bajenlo, esta barbaro. el ep me habia encantado, y este tambien. creo que desde last.fm pueden escuchar o bajar todas las canciones.

Iowa Super Soccer - Lullabies to keep your eyes closed
no se dejen engañar por el nombre horrible que tiene esta banda! esta muy buena, en serio. no son de iowa, ni juegan al futbol(?). hacen canciones muy pero muy lindas, aunque note que dicen mucho "fuck" jaja.

Johnny Flynn - A Larum
en realidad ese dia que fuimos a ver a los young knives, yo iba por flynn paff. los cuchillos jovenes me encantan eh, son del tipo de banda que en vivo se aprecia mejor que en estudio, pero a larum es tremendooooo! me quede con mas ganas de johnny, 30 minutos de set no es justo :(

Los Campesinos! - Hold On Now, Youngster... y Los Campesinos! - We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed
son tan buena onda que no solo sacan hold on now, youngster, el cual es un DISCAZO, sino que unos meses mas tarde te tiran un ep que tambien esta a la altura, si bien un poco menos coherente que el primero. no importa, muchos desearian poder crear algo como esto en tan poco tiempo. ojala los vea en vivo algun dia :'(

MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
no hay mas que decir sobre este disco, ya la prensa de todo el mundo se encargo de hypearlos hasta la muerte jajaja no leo revistas musicales, pero el hype lo tienen merecido con oracular spectacular. ah y si, se parten, tenia que decirlo.

Okkervil River - The Stand-Ins
no me gusto tanto como the stage names, pero de todas formas me parece un muy buen disco. ojala sigan sacando cosas asi de buenas todos los años ajja asi alguien los trae (ira)

Peter Morén - The Last Tycoon
una especie de pbj, un poco mas tranca. todo el mundo odio al pobre seaside rock jaja asi que para compensar(?) pueden escuchar este muy lindo disco de peter, que tiene una tapa horrible pero buen. se lo perdono porque me gusto muchisimo.

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Pershing
creo que a la mayoria de los fans que ya habian escuchado bastante broom, no les gusto mucho y algunos hasta se ofendieron(?!). pero a mi me encanto de una, think i wanna die es tan adictiva. la amo. los amo :P

The Accidental - There Were Wolves
ahhhhh que lendooooooo! creo que lo dije en el flog. no me habia acordado que habia escuchado este disco, lo deje en la carpeta "para escuchar" sin darme cuenta y a la segunda vez, si bien me parecio familiar, me enamoro de vuelta. asi que no era el contexto o mi humor en el momento, es que el disco me pudo mas de una vez, ja!

The Black Angels - Directions To See A Ghost
salio el dia de mi cumpleaños, con eso te digo todo(?) jajaja no, pero igual esta muy zarpado este disco. primero pienso "nah, passover esta mejor", pero despues me doy cuenta de la cantidad de temazos que tiene este, y en vivo suenan como la puta madre... no puedo morir sin ver a los black angels en vivo, no puedo!!!

The Black Keys - Attack & Release
estos tipos tienen una discografia tan buena que uno no sabe con que parametro medir attack & release. muy pero muy bueno, eso seguro, y a la altura del resto tambien. disculpenme, pero metanse la comparacion con los white stripes en el orto, estos son mucho mejores jajajaja

The Duke Spirit - Neptune
este creo que me gusto mas que el anterior... es un poco mas facil de escuchar, y los singles se notan bastante aunque es un disco regular, sin rellenos. en vivo debe estar barbaro (BABA).

The Envy Corps - Dwell
uuy con este me re cope en invierno. cada vez que lo escucho me veo sentada con todos los apuntes de niñez, a las 5 de la tarde cuando el sol entra y pega en los estantes de atras, mientras me tomo un cafe con leche y algun alfajor cerdo. es un disco para acompañar momentos asi, felices (menos por lo de estudiar niñez, ugh).

The Helio Sequence - Keep Your Eyes Ahead
un amor, eso es lo que es. me emocione tanto que al toque busque la discografia en what o waffles, gaste mi ratio al pedo porque los anteriores son bastante distintos y no me gustaron tanto. no son malos ni ahi, pero keep your eyes ahead es tan distinto jajaja

The Little Ones - Morning Tide
si los dos eps me habian encantado, no podia esperar menos de morning tide. se retraso vaaaaaarios meses por problemillas discograficos(?), pero al final salio y lo ame. espero que sigan por muchos años sacando cosas asi, porque me hacian falta.

The Lucksmiths - First Frost
este en realidad no lo escuche tanto como los otros, pero merecen un lugar aca igual porque son los lucksmiths. punto. creo que son mi banda australiana favorita, no sacan discos feos ni que lo intentaran!

The Primary 5 - High Five
ahhh como me alegreee cuando me entere que volvia!!! nono, este tipo es increible. puro talento. pero de nuevo, como no lo va a ser si tocaba la bateria en teenage fanclub? no se que onda esa necesidad de los bateristas de cazar la guitarra y cantar pero hasta ahora, ninguno de ellos me decepciono, y algunas veces son aun mejores que los que cantan originalmente. una lastima que se hayan separado (por ahora), pero si no es feliz haciendo esto de esta forma, no voy a quejarme. solo espero que este disco no haya sido el ultimo de paul quinn como singer/songwriter, por favor!

Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
lo baje hace mil años, fue de los primeros que agarre cuando habia freeleech en waffles y what cuando abrieron en octubre y noviembre del año pasado, y claro que me encanto desde el principio. cliche, lo se, pero suenan como nadie en este momento. una mezcla justa de generos muy diferentes, pero funciona a la perfeccion. calculo que todo el mundo lo habra escuchado a esta altura. a estos tambien necesito verlos en vivo, y grupear a ezra (?) :P
