    • I love Neko Case's voice, but her solo work has never done much for me. A little too brooding/alt-country for my tastes. I was thrilled when she joined up with the New Pornographers because their music is much more my style.

      Has anybody listened to that Band of Horses album? I've heard really good things about it but haven't managed to pick it up yet...
      The definition of insanity is to continually repeat the same action and expect different results.

      Thus the Redskins and their fans are, by definition, insane.

                alot of echo and reverb from what I've heard. Sort of a more rock version of the Flaming Lips (I think his voice sounds very Wayne Coyne-ish)

                  actually, i don't think they're much like flaming lips at all. the lead singer's voice sort of sounds like wayne coyne, but that's about it.

                  i think they have more of a neil young and my morning jacket sound. indie rock with jangly guitars, a little brooding, some straight up rockin' numbers, and some with a little country. it's a great album.

                  • I like Jenny Lewis more than Neko Case too...

                    TV on the Radio made a very good album IMO...

                    BP- I got a feelin' I know why you want to get rid of that Radiohead live album...I have it too...

                      • sorry - I did mean just the lead singer's voice is like Coyne. The rest is not.

                        • Well - my top 2 (Beck & Thom Yorke) came in #4 & #14 respectively on XPN. Bob Dylan at #1? I listened and recognized that it was good - just not the best IMO. Here's the list:

                          • I liked the new Dylan alot, but yes #1 was a reach IMO...it is very similar to Love & Theft from several years ago so it was not like he came up with a new style or something...
