The 1975 is just wonderful.

You're welcome. Kendrick killed it, best performance of the night and not even close.

Is this the thread to discuss air vibrations that our brains translate into pleasing feelings?

I need some new music.  I'm not sure of the acumen of this board, but I'll willing to hazard a request for some recommendos.  I don't really keep up with all the up-and-coming artists, and when you adopt this habit for a prolonged period of time, you end up not knowing about some "older" artists whose careers may have already peeked.  I'm not old, it's just that when I was young I listened mostly to music that was old and never really worked my way up to the present.  So all you music muses, make me Shepard's Pie from these bits:

-The catchy popiness of the Beatles
-The poetry and world-influences of Paul Simon
-The story-telling and diverse instrumentation of Billy Joel

So far, the only modern band I have found that has these characteristics is Vampire Weekend. If you don't like Vampire Weekend, don't reply.  I can't find anyone else like Vampire Weekend, and I find the task of sifting through all the groups broad-brushed with "alternative" or "indie" to be rough ridin' miserable.  I just want happy, upbeat music that gives me something to think about and isn't predictable - is such a thing even possible?

Could play roulette with mocat's "post your mood" thread

Was this response in earnest?

I earnestly enjoy it, but I don't think it checks any of your boxes, except the unpredictable one.

[Tobias]

downloading... i think mystikal "hit me" is about the only one i've listened to

[michigancat]

mich are those all on your Spotify 2013 playlist?

No, some of them don't make it to Spotify. Especially the hip hop.

[Spracne]

I plan to hit up your dropbox after work.  Will that link still be active?

[8manpick]

No, some of them don't make it to Spotify. Especially the hip hop.

Unrelated follow-up, am I an idiot for not going to see Bad Suns at the Czar Bar last night because I was too tired?

BUT THEY'RE A BAND FROM CALIFORNIA, DON'T YOU KNOW THEM ALL?!?!

OK, I listened to them, you should be more disappointed in missing the KC shows I told you to go to earlier in this thread but you probably didn't.

Spracne, what are your thoughts on Of Monsters And Men?

[mocat]

i would try Miniature Tigers, The Strokes, maybe Noah and the Whale, maybe the Shins. i'm sure there's at least a few songs you'd like in that group
