I can't put my finger on it, it is like they are trying to hard to be schmaltzy or something......hmmmmmm. whatever the reason, not a fan. 
That's it precisely! I just can't stand them.

The Cure - Pictures of You
(Oct 21, 2010 - 09:24) | One of my favorite songs/albums of all times. "Disintigration" is like an old friend you've known since childhood. You may drift apart for awhile but you can always pick up right where you left off and they are always there when you need them. Incredible live experience as well, hearing this song. Goosebumps.

Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism
(Oct 21, 2010 - 06:36) | I avoided this band for so long never having hear them because every fanboy poseur was obsessed and their OC appearance and such, but I finally heard them and what a delight. I can't believe what I was missing all that time. Brilliant songwriting.

Patty Griffin - Burgundy Shoes
(Oct 20, 2010 - 13:28) | Yet another wonderful song that was used so elegantly on an episode of "One Tree Hill." That show was my guilty pleasure until about 2 years ago. But the song reminds me of the scene and it just grabs the heartstrings.

Ben Folds Five - Brick
(Oct 20, 2010 - 13:22) | Of all the incredible BFF songs, they pick this one? This song needs to go away.
|
The Stone Roses - Waterfall
(Oct 20, 2010 - 06:30) | I bought this album and Sisters of Mercy "Floodland" on my 16th birthday. This album, this song in particular, has always put me in a good mood. It has held up through all these years and still sounds amazing. Happy!

My Morning Jacket - Librarian
(Oct 19, 2010 - 07:28) | It took me awhile to get into MMJ but now I'm hooked. Their live shows are an incredible experience. I loved their little appearance in "I'm Not There."

Samples - Did You Ever Look So Nice
(Oct 19, 2010 - 06:49) | I got into them after college when I was finally able to hang out with some Phish head type folks. I'm sad I didn't know them before that. Such beautiful, upbeat music sometimes with a melancholy edge. Love Sean Kelly's voice.

Wilco - What Light
(Oct 18, 2010 - 06:32) | I think musically it's a simple song for them, but simple doesn't mean bad. This one is all about the lyrics. And I think Tweedy's voice sounds sweet on this one. It's especially good at his solo shows.
|
The Cure - 2 Late
(Oct 15, 2010 - 08:37) | This is one of my favorite Cure songs. The lyrics are so sad. One of the best live shows I've ever seen. Loved them since I was 12 and had Robert Smith pin ups from "Smash Hits" all in my locker and bedroom walls.

Trespassers William - Lie in the Sound
(Oct 06, 2010 - 13:39) | Hate to admit but I found this song because it was on an episode of "One Tree Hill" and it just gets more beautiful each time I hear.
|
Neil Finn - Human Kindness
(Oct 06, 2010 - 13:18) | Such an underrated musician. I was lucky enough to see Crowded House during their first reunion tour.
|
Elliott Smith - Waltz #2
(Oct 05, 2010 - 13:56) | I love this man's music. He was an amazing pianist, drummer, guitarist, singer, songwriter. Such a loss to the world.
|
Radiohead - Reckoner
(Oct 05, 2010 - 12:45) | This song makes me weep. Seeing it live was a very memorable experience. It's so simple and layered so elegantly.
|
Goldfrapp - Little Bird
(Oct 05, 2010 - 07:17) | One of the most beautiful voices in music today. Love how their sound changes with every album they put out. Very innovative, unique band.
|
Interpol - The Undoing
(Sep 30, 2010 - 11:00) | I was lucky enough to have seen them a few weeks ago and they just put on an amazing show. I love how they've taken 80's new wave but put their own spin on it.
|
Kirsty MacColl - Libertango
(Sep 29, 2010 - 10:21) | Her voice and style was so mesmerizing. Such a loss that she died in such a freak accident. RIP Kirsty.

Uh...no way

Band of Horses - Factory
(Sep 29, 2010 - 07:19) | Why are these guys so hyped? It's so boring. There's so much better music out there getting.

The Sisters of Mercy - More
(Sep 28, 2010 - 13:44) | Oh flashback to the way back of my youth. LOVE it. Too bad he cancelled due to illness when I was supposed to see them in DC. Boo hiss.
