Right now for me it's Tegan and Sara, Twin sisters from Canada. Tegan does more punkish stye music and sara does more quirky songs

Sadly youtube is not loading at work right now, but with a bandname like that.. it has to be postrock or something like that?

I listen to the new album by Oceansize a lot, even though I'm vehemently telling myself it's not as good as the last one.

Wet to see T&S a while back, (sept. 2k10 maybe?) and they were very very good.

I'm currently listening to a lot of the artic monkeys which id say was me in a regression.

Big T&S fan, Sara guest sang on a single for "The Reason", who are friends of my wife and I:

I havent been listening to a ton of music lately, but some friends of mine from out east have their first EP coming out (preview trailer/teaser here), and I have the pre-release.

I have also started listening to one of my favorite records of 2009 again, "Dada Bandits" by Finnish group "Rubik". They put out a new single this month (laws of gravity), on their myspace:

http://www.myspace.com/rubikband

I saw these guys when they played a show with some friends in Mtl. Probably my favorite song of theirs is "wasteland":

Interesting. With their sound, one would rather expect them to be from the US. Not bad in any case. Looks like Laws of Gravity saw a bit too much brickwall limiter action though.

As for yours truly, currently neither my MP3 player nor my bank account can agree with any major band crushes.

I'm in love with an old punk rock band from Chicago called Braid. And I found out today they're getting back together!

I also like this band (also from Chicago) a lot:

Yup. Been listening to a lot of post-rock/dream pop and shoegaze lately.

Reminded me a bit of Mates of State, another 2 person band

Mates of state are a really fun band. I have all their CD albums bar the covers mixtape one.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #21 on:** Wed, 26 January 2011, 20:46:27 »

Agreed that Mates of State are cool. I first heard of them like 5 or 6 yrs ago when I saw them open for DCFC (before they went pop).

what i liked best about The Con is the DVD that came with it that shows a "behind the scenes" of them in the studio, it really gives theirs fan a view into how they make their music

@db_Iodine:

Trance, now that's something I haven't been listening to on a regular basis for quite a while. An acoustic version of a trance track is not something one hears every day either.

Whoever mastered the Original Mix above must have been deaf though. You'd think that when things get audibly distorted, they'd realize it's too loud.

On an unrelated note, look @ your sig in light theme...

db_Iodine · « **Reply #33 on:** Thu, 27 January 2011, 07:58:29 »

A FLAC version of the song sounds a lot better than the youtube vid.

Fixed the sig.

oh lord i almost forgot to mention my love for pomplamoose! they are turbo indie band that is on youtube, they did the recent Hyundai Christmas commercials on TV. They do covers and original music. ill post vids later once i figure out what videos describe them best.

keyb_gr · « **Reply #35 on:** Thu, 27 January 2011, 16:22:45 »

Doesn't every indie hipster (and then some) on YT know Pomplamoose?

Their latest original seemed quite nice (not earth-shattering but definitely rather catchy), unfortunately I never got to hear their older ones due to the stupid "this video is not available in your country" issue.

I'm not too big on a lot of the new country. A lot of it is getting to be more like pop and rock music than anything else. There's still a few good country songs out there these days, but it's hard to beat the old timers like Johnny Cash, George Jones, etc.

I think the meaning of "my music" is "the kind of music I choose to listen to".

But then, I recently learned from a webcomic that I enjoy that the first band mentioned in this thread suffers from some unfortunate stereotypes.

Mind you, that same stereotype applies to some of my favorite music:

Aside from that kind of slur, though, I can understand people dissing my music simply because it is old-fashioned, so few of the younger people of today will have a taste for it.

quadibloc · « **Reply #49 on:** Sun, 30 January 2011, 01:10:24 »

And my musical tastes are at least a bit eclectic...
