QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 11:25 PM) Death Cab's new album comes out on Tuesday. I heard a couple of their new songs at a show in San Diego a few weeks ago and am pumped for the new album. i don't want to be a bearer of bad news...but i got an advance...and...well, this is not a step forward or backward...its just a poor poor, seemingly forced album. There are sparce creative moments...yeah... that sucks about the stones...i might be able to see andrew bird over november break

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 03:13 PM) I loved Marketing for some reason. I don't know if it was the teacher or the fact that two of my best friends were in class with me. I had a blast creating magazine ads, TV ads, newspaper ads... One time my friend and I came in 5 minutes before class started and studied for the test we were about to take. We both aced it. Somehow we were both able to write just enough to make it sound like we knew what we were talking about. We were also able to join DECA and go to these competitions were we literally had to roleplay different parts. Try to sell a specific product to the judge, create an advertisement of a product in a set amount of time, etc... Great fun. All three of us took entrepreneurship the following year with the same teacher. Basically the entire year was devoted to setting up your own (fake) business and try to create a business plan to make it profitable within three years. You had to come up with a store layout, products, location of your business, where you would get the capital, etc... Have fun! mythology/psych = pretty cool...good professors that entertain me...howevahh...chem/german = the dick...boring chem professor / german one...gross....

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 10:03 PM) You won't be missing much, they're horrible live. they're horrible everything...but i have a bit of a vendetta with them i wouldn't get a 311 album, but i'd see them live, they've built their reputation on their live show... i saw modest mouse at northerly island...it was phenominal, i reviewed it in the musics thread but it got lost...i loved it there I would love to see brian wilson smile...that is such an interesting album, both musically and obviously the story behind it.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:53 PM) Robert Hunter was the Dead's lyricist, very much in the vein of John/Taupin. Mad props to Brian Wilson though. John and Paul get my nod for top dogs in the rock songwriting arena, but honerable mentions must include: – Elvis Costello – Aimee Mann – Carole King – Andy Partridge (xtc.) – Zappa – Todd Rundgren I'm thinking primarily of the lyrical content of their songs, but none of these guys are slouches in the musical composition side of things either. i didn't think garcia wrote, but i was thinking it was bob weir who wrote it...good call though...and good call to whoever said the kinks lead singer, and last but not least...I heart Pavement.

i was also gonna say don't forget about george harrison... but it seems a little lacking in current songwriters... and even old ones... Elliot Smith and Ian Curtis have always struck me as just phenominal, love will tear us apart is just grrrrreat. Morrissey i've loved as a songwriter BRIAN WILSON...Jerry Garcia was NOT that great of a songwriter...he has his moments, but their music did not rely on their lyrics brian wilson is a definate... also scott walker and billy corgan... and a personal favorite but not really gonna be considered...Stephen Malkmus

QUOTE(winodj @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:14 PM) For some reasons I thought both Deal sisters were in the Pixies. My bad. no love lost...i was pointing out that if there was ever an everyman in music...all three of them would be poster boys.

well, Okkervil river has an eclectic blend of instruments on their albums ala the decemberists, but they have very dark lyrics, and some really great songs. For real and black are my two favorites off of black sheep boy.

i do get tired of the media coverage of this... i have no idea what is the standards for making a specific kidnapping or murder a sexy case for the media... although it usually has to do with them being a young white female. (peterson trial, holloway, jean benet ramsey)
