Hey Chad, have you heard of a band called, "The National"? I think you would like them. I downloaded their new cd, "Boxer". All of the reviews are comparing their style to Nick McCave and Joy Division.

It's good stuff.

Putting Nick Cave and Joy Division together is like putting sex and pizza together: two great things made greater when combined.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check them out.

OOPS. I obviously meant Nick Cave....

McDonalds should market a McCave....I know Chad would eat the shit out of it.

if you've ever read a review from pitchfork, you'll probably get a chuckle out of this.

The Onion: "Pitchfork gives music a 6.8"

It's kind of funny. I give comedy a 7.3.

that's a great list. i've never been much of a saxophone fan.

doostroyer · Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2007 2:08 pm Post subject:

me neither. i can't believe all of the impassioned responses to that list. people really detest that instrument. i also like how this in particular was called out numerous times in the comments:

National Anthem's use of the sax was strictly ironic.

(actually, I liked it)

doostroyer · Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2007 2:22 pm Post subject:

that song should not have been on the list!

i too love that movie. it's funny to see how dated it is though

not new music per se, but i thought this was an interesting article nonetheless. also, the comment by 21-year-old krisan cieszkiewicz of portage, ind. made me laugh out loud.

I'm sure most people heard about this but Eddie Vedder did a solo album for a movie by Sean Penn called "Into the Wild".

It's pretty good. A lot more mellow then PJ though.

i heard about it.

the movie looks pretty good too.
