From my experience vinyl does sound better. There's a much more dynamic range of sounds. Perfect example is Burial/Four Tet's song Nova. The digital version is great, but when I played it on vinyl there were a few other layers that you couldn't hear before

I bet after today they never play Sorrow again :lol:

^Actually it's "Magic Beanz". The z is very important. :lol:

Entered in for tix to see The National perform at artists Den :D

Regular GA

yeah but had to give up an arm and a leg via stubhub. :lol: :|

That is a given!

The NDAA gives the government to the ability to indefinitely put someone deemed a "terrorist" (very generic term in general) in jail without a trail/due process.

Exactly my point! Where is the line drawn? Unfortunately I feel for a good portion of people in this country they are way too idle and don't care about this kind of thing because of the mentality of it "keeping us safe". This goes the same with things like the patriot act/wire-tapping and the NDAA (which above all may be one of the scariest pieces of legislation... I'm not sure if you know about it). I agree with that as well. The phrase support the troops really just seems like you support the war machine to kill people around the world. Personally I support that people who choose to be in the military stay safe and are unharmed, much as I support innocent civilians to stay safe and unharmed. I don't support the idea of killing people, which that phrase really kind of means.

Yeah basically it's that. They read the person who is being arrested the right to remain silent since what they say can be used against them in a court and get a lawyer. However the feds in this scenario felt that it wasn't necessary to do this. I agree I can't stand hearing that chant, it's cringe worthy and is completely empty. If people knew a lot of that atrocities that all countries commit against other people I'm sure they might think twice about saying that, or probably not.

I don't disagree... there's so many things the US has done around the world that is terrible. For example currently I'm extremely against the use of drone strikes... look how many children have been killed! Of course being a major power, somehow it makes the country exempt from bad things it's done. I'm not saying it's right but unfortunately it's the way it is. What is your take on this guy and his miranda rights?

Four Tet

This post is a joke right? Especially the Muslim aspect. You could say that the Oklahoma City Bombing was an act of Terrorism and the guy wasn't Musilim. My point is where is the line drawn? When do you say "yes you get Miranda rights" or "no you don't". My point is there needs to be an equal playing field regardless of who it is. We gave trials to Nazi war criminals...

Im glad the person was caught but he wasn't read his Miranda rights?! Regardless of what he did he should've been read them. It's creating a blurry line as to when people shouldn't be read them. "It was terrorism"... What is the exact definition of terrorism then? What differentiates this with a serial killer, mass murderer or war criminal?

good point

First song I bought: I have no idea... I'd have to check itunes, but I think it was a Thom Yorke video from the basement (not exactly a song, but prior to this I always bought CDs) First album I bought: I think it was Imagine-John Lennon or perhaps Who are You-The Who. There may be other albums, but those are the first ones I remember buying Most Recent song I bought: I think it is The Sky Was Pink-Nathan Fake (James Holden Remix) Most recent album I bought: Well I preordered the upcoming National Album, not sure if that counts.

What do you mean could have... you still have a chance to go for it!

I posted back in 2010... jeez that's a while ago. I figured I'd add to my post: Default I find that most of my Musical Taste "eras" are hugely based off of specific bands which I typically get into obsessions with listening to. So keep in mind that a lot of these different stages typically cross over between eachother. Pre-2001 (pre-12): For me music was a part of my life but I didn't really explore any bands on my own or actively listen/play music. It was primarily the influence of my dad that I listened to all the music. The only band that really comes to mind is The Beatles, though I did listen to a lot of the classic rock songs/stations that he did to as well mainly because that's what was on in the car/house/etc. 2001-2002 (12-13): Believe it or not it was right after 9/11 that there was a tv call in to send in money in effort to help out the families and clean up effort as well as honor the firefighters and police officers. It was called the Concert for NY. At that show I was watching it not only for it being to honor those people, but also see Paul McCartney play, who was the last to play. At the concert The Who played and they were really amazing. So from there I got into them and that is when I opened the floodgates to getting into other bands. From there I focused most of my listening to classic rock bands. So artists like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were the main bands that I really listened to over and over again. I dove into their back catalog and listened to them inside and out. At the same time I also really started getting into the solo works of The Beatles because being so familiar with that band I wanted to explore what they did outside of the band. Of course there were tons of other "classic rock" bands that I listened to as well (like Queen, David Bowie, Elton John, Billy Joel, The Doors, The Rolling Stones). Another reason for me getting into a lot of these artists was I was just starting to learn how to play guitar so I looked to a lot of the guitar works of these bands for inspiration and striving to a level I wanted to achieve... though I never even came close . Guitarists include Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), and Pete Townshend (The Who) 2003-2004 (14-15) The classic rock phase of my musical taste continued well into High School, so I still was into all of the bands listed above fairly heavily, though I wasn't into The Who nearly as much. At this point Led Zeppelin sort of was on the back burner a little bit and Pink Floyd was a big band that I continued to like. However there was one band that I was completely obsessed with at this time, Van Halen. Looking back I can't believe how much I loved this band. I practically breathed the band. At the time I was so into great guitar players that hearing the works of Eddie Van Halen blew me away. So for a good amount of time here They were the only band that I pretty much listened to. 2005-2006 (16-17): It was kind of strange but then after a while I didn't listen to Van Halen as much. The next phase of music taste had began and from this point on there would be very few moments that I would really go back and heavily listen to classic rock artists (though of course there are exceptions). At this time I was in my aunt's car and she was playing a CD by a band called Coldplay. I found the music to be so different than music I was listening to prior but I really liked it a lot. I ended up getting A Rush of Blood to the Head and really loved their music so much. This was the moment in time that I began to look forward at music rather than backwards (in terms of older bands/current). I really really got into the band I'd say a few months/weeks from the release of X&Y. They were once again one of those bands that I constantly listened to and I played X&Y so much that I never thought I'd get sick of it. I also was sure to give a listen to all of their older work as well as dive into their b-side catalog. It just could not get enough of this band. However after listening so much I wanted to find other bands that were similar. So there was a brief period of time that I got into U2, and was really amazed with Achtung Baby. Then I think from there I began to learn about another band at the end of 2006. This band was Radiohead. Also at this time I got into Oasis for a while thinking they were a lot like The Beatles. 2007-2008 (18-19): Radiohead has been the one band that I'd say I've been obsessed with the most. Of course the Beatles have had a much longer influence, but Radiohead have had a big influence on my tastes. I initially listened to the band sometime around 2001-2002, from a friend of my brothers who gave me OK Computer. I felt the band to be extremely depressing... especially the vocals. I did however like Karma Police and Exit Music. Back to the end of 2006 I was just starting college. I was in a new location in terms of school and people I was around. So I guess it fit well to get into a new band. I really got into the band heavily in 2007 while waiting for their upcoming release which would be In Rainbows. I can't tell you how much I listened to this band. These two years I listened to them so much, and it only fueled the fire by getting to see them live twice. During this era I had a period of time that I looked back and was into Pink Floyd for a while as well as Bob Dylan too. Also during this period of time I started to really get into Beck. He was a big artist for me and I looked up to him so much as a songwriter. I really loved how each album was so different from the next. Also I loved how he was able to have so many different genres of music incorporated within his albums/songs. Also it opened me op to being more tolerant of various genres, especially Rap/Hip Hop. Also at this time I began to listen to the Arcade Fire, and also saw them at the end of 2007. They really blew me away and were one band that I had a good few months where they were what I primarily listened to, but I then took a break for a while. Another few artists that I really got into were Panda Bear, MGMT, The Flaming Lips. 2009-2010 (20-21): I continued to listen to Radiohead during this time as well as Beck. I found that their music also really opened my eyes into the world of electronica, and I started listening to bands like Boards of Canada, Ratatat, Four Tet and others. At this time I think my music tastes really exploded in that there aren't really many bands that I can focus and say defined this period of time. I got into many different bands like Animal Collective, Beach House, Broken Social Scene, Metric, Grizzly Bear, The National, Andrew Bird, Sigur Ros. Another artist I also really got into was The Album Leaf. It was very relaxing music, and since then I have also looked out for more relaxed/post-rock bands (Explosions in the Sky, Jonsi & Alex, etc). At this time, especially this year I rediscovered Arcade Fire and really got into them a lot! I had liked them a lot before but having new music, as well as seeing them live has helped me fall in love with the band. I also ended up rediscovering U2 and having them be one of my favorite bands. Lastly I have found that especially this year I have been listening to many more artists with female vocalists (Metric, Land of Talk, Beach House, Stars). Arcade Fire was probably the biggest band I rediscovered. 2011-Present (22-24): Looking back on this list it is pretty interesting to see how things progressed being that the last "era" of time was filled with a lot of Canadian bands, indie, and alternative bands like Grizzly Bear. From 2011 to Present it seems that 2011 was the year that I started to move away from bands I liked in previous years like Animal Collective. I feel I continued listened to alternative/folk-ish/indie type artists and really listened to a lot of artists such as Other Lives, Andrew Bird, and The Antlers. Strangely enough I found that a lot of the bands I had previous listened to in the previous "era" I didn't listen to as much even though they were kind of similar. Though Radiohead as always still stays to continue to be my favorite bands and probably most listened to, even with the other incarnation with Atoms for Peace. By listening to Radiohead and Atoms for Peace it sort of opened my ears more into Electronic music which I feel that this period of time will be partially defined and a genre that will expand. Some electronic artists I've listened to a lot of during this time includes Four Tet, Boards of Canada, Trentemoller, Arms and Sleepers, etc. Also some other bands that I really got into from this time are Gorillaz, The National. The biggest band I probably got into at this time has actually been in the last year, and it's Talking Heads. Overall I feel as the years have progressed from 2011 to present that I've been increasing my focus on listening to more electronic bands/artists and I guess dancey music. Very excited to see where my music likes/tastes will go! Key bands for me over the years (Chronologically) The Beatles The Who Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd Van Halen Coldplay Radiohead Beck U2 Arcade Fire Other Lives Talking Heads

They played Njósnavélin (Untitled #4) last night at Coachella ><

You better go!

great stuff! From the demos you sent before, the sound of songs have come a long way! For a band name... hmmm...

Outstandingly bad, yet remarkably good? I guess we've found a word for the phrase "it's so bad it's good"

No luck getting GA tix for NY :( ...will keep trying though. Either way I'm going to the NY show whether it be seated tix or stubhub
