Phoenix really surprised me too. "1901" was so good, but almost too good.. I figured it would probably be a favourite iTunes single maybe. Then "Lisztomania" broke, and it was like, okay, maybe a two hit wonder, but I liked both songs so much, I bought the whole album on a whim, and it is just solid from beginning to end! Such a treat!

I really need to check out the Phoenix album. All my friends seem to really love it.

You must!! It is a delight!

I love your No. 1!!!!! And I don't know who your 2 is... I live under a rock.

You don't! They just don't get as much airplay as they should. I think I just kind of randomly stumbled on them through iTunes recommendations, but THEY'RE SO GOOD!! I was going to try and do up a mix for you to send a long with your card, which, I clearly failed to do with the Christmas crazies (it was that, or get your card to you in some semblance of on-time, so there you go), but if I had, they were so going to be on it! Which is not at all helpful at this juncture, but there you go. :D

*adds to memories*

I totally agree on White Lies, Franz Ferdinand, Editors, The Big Pink & Grizzly Bear.
Julian Casablancas, Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Temper Trap (LOVELOVELOVE Sweet Disposition) are already on my to-listen/download/buy list.
I'll add the rest to it, since I trust you completely on this one :)

Xxx

Yay!! I'm so glad to find someone else who loves The Big Pink!! That record felt like it took forever to come out, but once it did, it did not disappoint!

I need to listen to Julian Plenti's album! & some more Interpol in general really..
WHITE LIES!!!! I love this band SO MUCH!! I'm so glad to find another person who basically just KNOW about them!

I LOVE INTERPOL! I've liked them from the start, but when I saw them live whent they were touring for Our Love to Admire, I just totally fell in love with them. Particularly that nice Paul Banks. ;) So I was definitely excited when I found out about Julian Plenti.

And yay White Lies!! HOW ARE THEY NOT BIGGER?? After the Death EP came out, I figured they would just explode when the full album hit, but so far, they just have not gotten the attention they deserve!

wildpages January 5 2010, 18:37:12 UTC

my best friend made me listen to a song, it was obstacle 1 & it's still the only song I've heard of them but I need to find their albums or something because I really liked that song!

I KNOW!!! I think 2010 might be their year, they've won an award & all, they're getting more & more attention (*cough* some pimping: whiteliesband, I've made this community with a friend of mine if you're interested :B*cough*)

Oooh, a good one to start with, for sure, but you definitely do need the full albums too. :D Haha.. I started to list out all these other songs you should check out and then started poking through my iTunes listening to my favs, and there went 20 minutes. ;P They're really all just so good. But tops at the moment would probably be "Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down", "The Pace Is The Trick", "Slow Hands", "Pioneer to the Falls", & "NYC".. And all of the other ones too. XD

And I joined the comm! YAY! :D
