I'm looking to go on a new music binge, so the more recommendations the better. I hope this isn't a faux pas here in NMD, but it's the most concise way to give a picture of what I like I can think of so here's my Last.fm.
tl;dr of above:
Just found out that contrary to what my proto-hipster friend told me, Yeah Yeah Yeahs are in fact ridiculously awesome, but I'm a little apprehensive it won't last. I liked them the instant I heard it which is generally a sign I'll get sick of it in a week or two. Trying to get a grip on Built to Spill, not so sure about it, seems really samey on the first couple listens. I'm going to give it another shot or five though, maybe there's something I'm not immediately hearing musically, and some of the lyrics have really blown me away.
Current favorites:
Modest Mouse
The Faint
Pixies
The White Stripes
Cake
I hate hate hate ambient and jam bands. That's not to say I begrudge you your liking them if that's what you're into, it's a taste thing not an objective value judgement. I like stuff that keeps giving when I concentrate on it. Layers, discordant notes that shouldn't work but do, syncopation, that kind of thing. Music that fades into the background can go gently caress itself.
Thanks!
That you like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse, Pixies and The White Stripes (and I guess some Modest Mouse) makes me think you might like some slightly screwy but catchy rock and roll. You might like the first Devo album (Q: Are We Not Men A: We Are Devo), Pere Ubu and The Monks (who Jack White really likes, apparently)
Rough Trade also have a Rock n Roll compilation out you might like.
