Members fearofnightmare Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 Boris - Pink was released stateside by Southern Lord recently...so I'm saying that one. Also, a few honorable mentions could be: Genghis Tron - Dead Mountain Mouth Mogwai - Mr. Beast Peeping Tom - Peeping Tom It's a damn shame that Dr. Octagon's The Return of Dr. Octagon is nothing like A Trip To the Octagonacologyst ...

Members opultaM Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 Don Caballero - World Class Listening Problem They are instrumental and they just carry you forever. real rockin', but in a good way. Drummer's got the best feel i ever heard. The rest of the band is totally new for this album, and while I wasn't sure how that would turn out, it ends up I like it better than the old stuff.

Members Fourth Floor Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 Wooo! I made the list!! Anyway, I thought about doing this list too, so here goes for the halfway stage: 1. Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood 2. Mogwai - Mr. Beast 3. Gnarls Barkley - St Elsewhere 4. Gotye - Like Drawing Blood 5. Augie March - Moo, You Bloody Choir 6. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones I like Peeping Tom, Muse and Tool but haven't really listened enough to make up my mind. For me, song of the year so far is Gnarls Barkley's Crazy, followed by Skip to the End by The Futureheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thebazaar Posted June 29, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 the new augie album is good, but seems a little safe by their standards...or maybe its just that everyone is noticing them. i still prefer strange bird, but it has been a break from all the crap recently released here. Really enjoying the FFC album dan. sound-wise it is A1. been driving to it for a week now. you should list the album in the spam thread. The was an age writeup on you gusy again yesterday....the author missed the mark in an embarassing fashion. the augie march/coldplay comparisons look to be haunting you...personally, i think you are more Bowie/Snow Patrol, with perhaps a Pable-era radiohead touch of spice. great album anyway. everyone here should buy it.waiting for hard copy release of Muse. I have a very nice stereo that has been crying out for something new. Only way to listen to muse is to drown out the apocalypse itself what are neko case like?

Members Fourth Floor Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 Neko Case is a woman. And she is very good. I like this album the best out of everything she's done. She also sings with The New Pornographers. There's some delicious reverb on the record. I don't really know how we get Coldplay...we're more OKC era Radiohead and this record doesn't really sound like anything but us. We've got some weird {censored} (Split Enz, which is awesome, right through to Polyphonic Spree). Bowie is a good one. I've been examining everything I have from him to look at how he writes vocal melodies but it plays no real part on this record. I gotta see that Age writeup. Was it a live review? Or the album again? Thought that had run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RamaLama Fafafa Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 I like that Boris album Pink also. I'll go with that. I'm not sure what else is new. I got Boris with Merzbow "Sun baked snow cave" and that was pretty cool too, but nothing like Pink. Pink is rockin' and Sun baked snow cave is slow and unrockin', but still cool.

Members Fourth Floor Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 Do you listen to much post-rock? I thought ho-hum just another mogwai album at first (which is kinda what I've said about the last two Muse albums) but it worked later on. A bit like the latest dirty three (but that's last year).

Eno and PIL and Magazine etc etc etc ... these guys just sound like the Cure but with no talent to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thebazaar Posted June 29, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 the bowie thing i get from the slide work on one of the last tracks...usobs i think. very space odyssey. heres the the age write up You can call Michael Miller, singer of Fourth Floor Collapse, the seer of Templestowe Lower. A few hours after Australia played Brazil in the World Cup, Miller didn't know the score but had a dream about the result. "I don't know anything about soccer, I just jumped on the bandwagon like everybody else," Miller says. "But I dreamt that they lost but that it was a brave loss, one they would be proud of." Short of naming Harry Kewell as the player who missed the best chance to score against the Brazilians, that was a pretty good call. It shouldn't come as a surprise. Miller, Dan Forrestal and Rhys Kealley, the three original and longest-serving members of the band who met at a Perth high school, have form. When they chose the name Fourth Floor Collapse in 1998 it was prescient about the day the hijacked planes hit the World Trade Centre in 2001. As one later news report described: "Miraculously, a number of firefighters survived inside Tower One. They were on the third or fourth floor in a stairwell, and immediately after the collapse they looked up and saw blue sky above their heads. Their part of the stairwell survived. How is that possible, with all the force of that 500,000-tonne building coming down?" Spooky, no? Miller gladly accepts the band's new status as seers, a sexier title than the self-imposed "one of the most demure bands in rock", a moniker earned because of their equanimity when confronted by poor service or bad behaviour. "We are polite fellas except when we are onstage," says Miller of the band whose powerful third album, Books with Broken Spines, confirms that their dramatic rock puts them somewhere between Radiohead and Augie March. "Our performances are anything but demure. We decided when we started the band we were going to be emotional and I think that's our outlet. [Offstage] we bottle it up and then let it all go." He adds, with a chuckle: "Let it go in a reasonably artistic way." Miller claims that in Perth the degree of separation between anyone "is never more than two". To test this, I toss up the name Rose Hancock Porteous to Miller with some cockiness - as if he knows her. "Well, I have actually served Rose Porteous," Miller says. "I used to work in a certain department store and I have actually pushed a cage full of Rose Porteous's stuff around. There is actually no degree of separation between me and Rose Porteous."

Members Fourth Floor Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 Thanks. Yeah, that was the Bernard Zewl interview. Not bad. I thought it was just the SMH but I guess The Age picked it up too. Cool. That's my slide solo on Winter's End the final track. Or there's a descending fuzz factory line at the end of USOBs that degrades into the crunchy AM radio interference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
