i like times new viking, no age, and mika miko(the most fun live show i've been to in a while) and the others ive heard some of and some ive not heard at all

I'm not really that cool. I like Times New Viking, though. Like them.

I really like, maybe love Eat Skull but don't listen to them nearly as much as I should. Love Pink Reason (cleaning my mirror or whatever it's called is great, amongst the best newer records I've heard). I think Abe Vigoda has some interesting songs but I haven't given them much listening. Psychedelic Horseshit have a lot of potential, I think, but are kind of hit or miss now. Times New Viking are.. alright. No Age bore me, I don't see anything special about them, but they're not completely terrible I guess.. probably the worst band on your list. Women are really good, that album has great melodies; one of the best of the year. Vivian Girls are another band with amazing melodies -- very simple but great, great songs. I'm not too familiar with Mika Miko, heard a few songs on myspace; didn't seem too special to be honest. I've liked pONYTail for a long time... they remind me of early Deerhoof; weird guitar catchy riffs. The vocals are pretty annoying but otherwise great band.

Apart from Sonic Youth, theres few other bands that would prompt such a positive reaction from this board.

I dnt agree with that at all.

Testing: who here likes Unwound?

Vivian Girls are fucking ace. Times New Viking and Psychedelic Horseshit are cool as also.

Nearly everyone at least mildly likes: Unwound, Polvo now that Cantankerous left, Beefheart, Stars of the Lid, and the Misfits. That's all I can think of really.

Unwound!!!!!!!!! ME!!!!!!!!!!

I like No Age NOUNS a lot. I have not heard anything else by them

all these other bands I need to check oiut. I have not had money for new records in months and months.

I dig unwound.


This is like wandering into a Chapterhouse gig and saying "has anyone ever heard of My Bloody Valentine?"

UNWOUND : YESSSS!!!
POLVO: oooooo YESSSSS!!!
BEEFHEART : YES
STARS OF THE LID : MYEAH
MISFITS : not

I didn't like TNV, VIVIAN GIRLS or NO AGE at all.
I loved the WOMEN LP.
The others i have yet to listen to.

Nearly everyone.
