Dirtydutch 8 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Cookie mountain is both a great CD and a great level in Super Mario World for the SNES.Has anyone listened to any of the following enough to have opinions/reviews. I'm going to go shopping for CD's at some point:The new Decemberists AlbumThe new BeckThe new Hold SteadyOr any other suggestions for new music.I think the new Beck is very good, but I can't be of a lot of help here. I would like anything Beck made. Link to post Share on other sites

76clubs 0 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Who can reccomend the best Death Cab album for me? Not the most popular, but your favorite. I have "We have the facts and we're voting yes" plus "summer skin" and "I will follow you into the dark" and "crooked teeth" from plans, but that is the extent of my death cab library.

I wouldn't start with "You Can Play These Songs With Chords" though. Go with The Photo Album, Transatlanticism, Plans, and then if you're feeling saucy, throw in Something About Airplanes.

lvpro 0 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 So if I'm looking to buy only one of those tonight, which should I get?That's tough. Transatlanticism is probably their best album, so I'd say start there. Link to post Share on other sites

Shimmering Wang 1 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I just wanted to say that the new "The Hold Steady" album "Boys and Girls in America" is one of the- if not the- best album of the year.I've always been a big fan, and "Separation Sunday" was one of my favorite albums of the last few years. "Boys and Girls..." Might be even better. If you haven't listened to them before, give them a shot. It's probably cliche to describe them as such, but they're like a sweet Bar Band. Great hooks, Great riffs, lots of drum fills and big guitar up front. Sweet band. I'd either start with this album, or "Separation Sunday." Crain Finn writes some pretty cool/fun lyrics.

Shimmering Wang 1 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Started last night:"Yo La Tengo- "I am am not afraid of you and I will beat your ass."I might suddenly like this more than the new The Hold Steady. It's been a great week for Wangman's music collection. Wang Link to post Share on other sites
