nitetrain8601 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 02:09 PM) New Arctic Monkeys is absolutely fantastic. Flourescent Adolescent is an excellent song. And I'm just getting into the new NIN record, totally weird story with that whole album but it caught my interest. That artic monkey's album is great. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Critic Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 QUOTE(BobDylan @ May 18, 2007 -> 12:54 AM) 3 and a half songs through Boxer by the National and am already blown away. Have never heard this band's music before. But this album is really, really good so far. Some insight into just how old I am: The first thing that popped into my mind when I read "the National" was this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_(newspaper) Anyone else remember this? The all-sports newspaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxer is much better in my opinion anyways I saw the Arcade Fire last night, and it was absolutely everything I hoped it would be. They played every single song I wanted to hear, the band was in great form and very energetic, Win's voice is in good shape, the crowd was great, I would say it is only the second show I've ever been to (out of 20 or so) that I have ever been 100% satisfied with If any of you have a chance to go tonight or tomorrow I would do it, it will be a great show. here's the setlist (I think this is exact order, or very close to it) 1 Black Mirror 2 Keep The Car Running 3 Antichrist Television Blues 4 No Cars Go 5 Haiti 6 Neighbourhood #2 (Laika) 7 Intervention 8 Neon Bible 9 My Body Is A Cage 10 Windowsill 11 The Well And The Lighthouse 12 Neighbourhood #3 (Power Out) 13 Rebellion (Lies) ENCORE I: 14 Ocean Of Noise 15 Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels) ENCORE II: 16 In The Backseat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Just heard the new song from "Smashing Pumpkins" (aka The Billy and Jimmy Show) and I'm unimpressed. It's not a terrible song, but it's just really forgettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Its a true sham that they call themselves "The Smashing Pumpkins" when D'arcy and Iha really made that band for me...not that I was a big fan or anything either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a terrible song, but it's just really forgettable. Twice in the car I've heard a song by a band that sounds so much like early Pumpkins, it's not even flattering.

I know nothing else about this band except that this song is Pumpkin-esque. I thought IT was the new Billy Corgan experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggliopipe Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 QUOTE(BobDylan @ May 18, 2007 -> 01:54 AM) 3 and a half songs through Boxer by the National and am already blown away. Have never heard this band's music before. But this album is really, really good so far. Alligator has gotten more play on my ipod than anything since summer of '05. I thought it would be one of those albums that gets a lot of play and then I'd tire of it but that's just not the case. Boxer is a nice follow up; I'm happy with it. Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers deserves mention too as it's also pretty top notch but I can't get into their self-titled debut. I'd love to see these guys live. I know they were touring with Clap Your Hands last summer or the summer before and The National were headlining. I heard after CYHSY! played, half the audience would leave before The National took the stage which is sad since CYHSY! blows. I see they're playing June 07 at Metro, god I'd kill to see that show. Unfortunately they're not coming my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy's the guitarist (although she does some singing), but Ann's the lead singer and she is still REALLY good.
