Yesssss.

Hehe yes, I thought you'd be pleased to see that.
Is it bad that whenever I listen to them I just want to laugh? I mean they're brilliant, but I think they're freakin hilarious.

Okay guys, here's another list of artists that I need advice about - so tell me if any of them are horrible, extraordinary, okayish, etc. I need help prioritizing when to get them:
-1990s
-Architecture in Helsinki
-Ataxia
-Ben Folds
-Cake
-Cavil at Rest
-The Clash
-David Bowie
-Flaming Lips
-Foo Fighters
-The Hives
-Hot Chip
-Iron & Wine
-John Frusciante
-Los Campesinos
-Maximo Park
-Modest Mouse
-My Morning Jacket
-The National
-Silversun Pickups
-Spoon
-Tally Hall
-Ted Leo & the Pharmacists
-They Might Be Giants
-Wilco
-Wolfmother

How pathetic is it that I don't have any of their albums? For some I have a couple songs here and there, but no full albums.

Definitely get They Might Be Giants ("Lincoln" is considered most "them," whatever that means, but I honestly love "Mink Car." WhateveR), Los Campesinos! (I'm completely in love with them and put them on whenever I want to dance), Modest Mouse (I recently fell back in love with them. Spectacular), Spoon ("Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga"), Tally Hall, Iron & Wine, The Clash ("London Calling", duh), the Hives, and Architecture in Helsinki (I mean, their video for "Heart it Races" is spectacular. YouTube it).

I've never really gotten the allure of Foo Fighters, I don't know why. I know they're good, they're just not my thaaaang.

Seems like a good list! Finding songs on Myspace/YouTube is always a good way to see how you feel about them before you buy an album.


So, for his birthday, I made "This is Not a Sexually Suggestive CD Part II" (including some of the songs graciously given by ye fellow Boardies that didn't make it onto "This is Not a Sexually Suggestive CD").

So not all of them are as sexually suggestive, but "Modern Art" and Harry and the Potters had to be included for humor value.

So:
1. Modern Art- Art Brut
2. Sugar Me- Lynsey de Paul
3. Paradise by the Dashboard Light- Meatloaf
4. Heart it Races- Architecture in Helsinki
5. Australia- the Shins
6. All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons- Evil Dead: the Musical official cast recording
7. Prove My Love- Violent Femmes
8. Jeepster- T. Rex
9. My Doorbell- the White Stripes
10. My Phone's on Vibrate for You- Rufus Wainwright
11. Come Together/Dear Prudence/Cry Baby Cry- the Beatles (from the Love soundtrack)
12. 2 Becomes 1- the Spice Girls
13. The Lovecats- OK Go cover
14. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy- Queen
15. Let's Talk About Sex- Salt-N-Pepa
16. I Feel it All- Feist
17. On the Radio- Regina Spektor
18. Knee 5 from Einstein on the Beach- Philip Glass
19. Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock- Harry and the Potters

This is subject to change. As always, any suggestions are MORE than welcome. You guys have never failed me before.

Yay! I knew you'd come to the rescue Amy!
Thanks for all your input!

As for your CD (which is a genius idea), I'll try to think of something. The only thing I immediately think of is something from Robin Thicke. I don't think you're into that kind of music (he's kind of like a more mature version of Justin Timberlake with a bit less pop), but "Teach U a Lesson" and possibly some others from his album "The Evolution of Robin Thicke" could work.
I'll let you know if I think of any others.

ok, here some more:

Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare
The View - Hats Off The Buskers (or something like that?)
We Are Scientists - Crap Attack (not just because of those nice acoustic versions of older songs, but also because of that DVD, that comes with it...)
We Are Scientists - Basically everything they offer for free on their website, old demos and EPs and stuff...
Phoenix - Several Albums, but best I guess the last one and their second..? Alphabetical it's called
Maccabees - Colour It In (BUY THIS ONE!) Fantastic band and you can choose between five (i think) different shades of colour for the booklet

Also, Mando Diao are about to release the new album and I guess that's pretty good.

The new Babyshambles album (Shotters Nation) FANTASTIC!

Maximo Park - Missing Songs ... really cool songs and three demo versions of songs from the other albums

Also do listen to Jack Penate, Kate Nash and the Streets (here a very good album is the third one...)

that's all
