Nightmare (JP)

In This Moment
Mychildren Mybride
A Hero A Fake
Between the Buried and Me
The Devil Wears Prada
A Day to Remember

Kinda disappointing that no one here so far has similar music tastes to me, but oh well.

I was at Bamboozle in NJ in May. You would've liked it.

A band from Glasgow called Dananananaykroyd (say it in the tone of the Batman theme). Not really sure what to classify it as, sounds like a mix of a whole bunch of bands with a hint of At the Drive In.

on a lighter/more mellow note, I've been listening to Frightened Rabbit, "Midnight Organ Fight" for months. Saw them live at Carnegie Mellon and was blown away. They're great live, they're great on the album.

The bolded are definitely on my "Best Of" list so far this year.

8 Radio Dept. – Clinging to a Scheme
7 The National – High Violet
6 Hurts – Happiness
5 Janelle Monae – The Anarchoid
4 Guards – Guards
3 Kanye West-My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
2 The Pass – Burst
1 Warpaint – The Fool

DiscoSalt Top 10

If you've not heard Guards...you should REALLY give them a listen...they're like a significantly better version of Arcade Fire...and Warpaint is incredible too...I've gotten to see them twice [got a pass to see them a third time at the Studio at Webster Hall, but it conflicted with my Radio Dept. show :( ]

I really really really liked "High Violet." "Suburbs" by Arcade Fire was good as well. I also dug the new Girl Talk (but most people I run with did). MGMT was awesome in concert, and I really liked LCD Soundsystem's latest.

I don't mean to act like a music snob, and I can mostly understand why people liked them, but I thought Arcade Fire was ok, but boring. LCD Soundsystem sounded like he just gave up (and acted like it too when I saw him at Webster Hall, completely drunk [him, not me]), I love Girl Talk but thought the new one was really weak. I LOVE LOVE LOVE MGMT's new album though...it was fantastic and I'd rated it #11 in my larger list. I also loved The National's, but was really wanting something more...the songs I like I love, but others are totally skippable and The National should never have a skippable song...it was just a step down from Alligator and Boxer in my opinion. Also, Vampire Weekend's Contra was horrific. Belle & Sebastian's "Write About Love" was good, but I wanted it to be great, so it let me down too. Gorillaz put in a weak effort. So many of my favorite bands released albums in 2010 and really disappointed me with what they released. In contrast, bands I didn't care too much for like MGMT and Beach House put out spectacular albums. And with a l;ittle more room, Best Coast and Wavves would have made my top albums, both fantastic records!

You have ridiculously fantastic taste in music judging by this and your other posts in this thread.

Why Thank You ;)
