Saturday Night Tunes

PrintSaturday Night Tunes? But it's like afternoon, maaaan.
If that's your main concern, you should probably put the doobie down, Chris.
It's been about a month since the last one, so follow me after the jump to see what i've been listening to lately.
Using "the jump" on a FanPost? Am I crazy? Probably. But that's not what we're here to talk about.
I've been known to call out "hipsters" and yell strings of nonsensical diatribes at them, laced with hatred that rivals the fiery of a thousand burning suns. Some people call it verbal harassment, I call it therapy. It's definitely better than me walking around Montrose, mowing down every single hipster I see with a machine gun, right?
Anyways, I've been listening to a lot of Local Natives lately. They played in last year's SXSW, drawing comparisons to bands such as Arcade Fire (I hate Arcade Fire) and Fleet Foxes. Their debut album "Gorilla Manor" had been a success in Europe prior to its arrival in the U.S. When you listen to the album, you'll understand why.
Here's one of the songs from their debut album, entitled "Wide Eyes". It's one of their best songs, but not the best. I'm sure DreKeem will argue with me about this, but I'm never wrong. So tell him that he's just wasting his time.
Wide Eyes - Local Natives
And yes, there are multiple layers of percussion and vocals in that one song. This is what happens when a bunch of multi-talented artists get together and start a band.
I've been listening to a lot of The Get Up Kids, too. It brings back a lot of memories. I don't know why people kept calling them emo, but whatever.
The Get Up Kids - Action and Action
Their lead singer, Matthew Pryor, has a solo project going called "The New Amsterdams." If you used to be a big fan of The Get Up Kids, you should check it out. It's mostly Pryor and his acoustic guitar. Nothing sounds more honest than a man and his acoustic guitar. I would link a couple of their songs, but most of them are corrupted by Vevo.
On to somewhat heavier sounds...
Here's a song called "Mess of Me" by Switchfoot. The Christian band Switchfoot? Yes. I think this came out two years ago, but it didn't get much attention. I have this song on my gym playlist. It's perfect for short intervals.
Mess of Me - Switchfoot (Hello Huricane)
And to top this edition of "Saturday Night Tunes," here's some Weezer. Somewhat new Weezer. Because old Weezer sucks. Especially "The Sweater Song" and "Say it Ain't So".
/looks at tGC
//trollface
Pork & Beans Acoustic - Tay Zonday and Brian Bell
If you live in Houston, Weezer is headlining Free Press Summerfest this coming June. You should check it out, and buy me fancy pants tickets because I iz broke.
So what say you, BRB? What have you been listening to lately?

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
You hipster.
I’ve never heard of any of these bands. Oh and mowing down hipsters with a machine gun? Not mainstream.
Got enough tags there?

Although in Jordann’s case it’d probably be Pabst Blue Ribbon, seeing as he’s a hipster.

Not music related but have nothing for a fanshot
Just saw on Fox 26, they interviewed ‘Dre who said he has been lobbying Nnamdi to come to Houston. He’s spoken to him a few times this offseason and says the first thing he says to him is “What are you gonna do? You should come to Houston”. He sounded like he really wants him here.
Imagine what those two practicing against each other could do for their game.
Every time I see ‘Dre on tv, playing or not, I feel absolutely lucky as hell that we have him. Thank Durga we have him locked up with us. If he ever wore another uniform I think I’d go crazy.

“My Name is Jonas” is completely awesome.
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

By the by,
Have you heard the JA cover version of Ripple by Grateful Dead? Blows away the original IMO, but I’m admittedly biased.
Mogwai in Houston?
I haven’t listened to them in forever.

Same here, huge blues rock fan.
Ever listen to Blues Creation/Creation?
I do not read tags. I am not 12 years old.
“Wide Eyes” is the best song on the album :). Although, I think a close second for me would be “Stranger Things”. It’s very Vampire Weekend-esque with all the neat instruments in play.
So here’s some of the new stuff I’m listening too these days, for all of the one person that’s interested (Jordan? Jordann? Jordaan?). And since I know how lazy the people who comment on this thread are, youtube links will be posted. A bit of this stuff is old, I know.
The Strokes – Angles
Wasn’t ever a big fan of the strokes (all their songs sounded the same to me) with their first couple of albums, but this one caught me.
My favorite song – “Life is Simple in the Moonlight”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn3bLzrRbDQ
Julian Casablancas – Phrazes for the Young (solo album from the lead singer from The Strokes)
The song that hooked me – 11th Dimension
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_h5DMHh5_M
Sufjan Stevens – The Age of Adz
Song I’m about to link isn’t even from this album, but it’s the best song I stumbled across this year from the same artist so you know a little bit about his type of music. “Chicago.” So good.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azGIf74ICmw
Favorite song from this album, however? “I Walked”. A little bit techno in some regards, but it’s catchy and not over the top to me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tghLxt9Qqo
Gimme Some – Peter Bjorn and John
Song that hooked me – “Tomorrow Has to Wait”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXmmvPZUNnc
Congratulations – MGMT
Only putting this here cause I feel it didn’t get nearly the credit it deserved. Most listeners called it a sophomore slump, but I actually found it more enjoyable than the first album.
Song that hooked me – “Congratulations”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_GvVnPsUeg
Favorite album song – Siberian Breaks (Few 12 minutes songs keep your attention – this one does all throughout)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCUc3Kbphr4&feature=fvst
Weathervanes – Freelance Whales (Doubt too many people have come across this. I certainly wouldn’t have if not for a friend.)
“The Great Estates”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUQIRh5jkYI
Blue Scholars – Blue Scholars (Here’s my hip-hop shout out. For those of you who, like me, may have gone through a phase of “pure rap”, but now prefer rap with a melodious beat and instruments to back it up.)
“No Rest for the Weary”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIqMIrmpUjc
Mr. Tambourine Man – The Byrds (Because even a 12 year old can appreciate great, older music.)
“Mr. Tambourine Man” (Although nothing tops the original by Bob Dylan)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06rGW0AQGiY
Perhaps someone (Jordaann) will enjoy this here post, my greatest contribution to BRB since writing some shit about a video game. In other words, my only contribution to BRB since sometime over a year ago.

A great album I recently re-discovered
Is Lou Reed’s Rock n Roll Animal. Some of the most phenomenal guitar work of any album in the ‘70s. This album is a live album of Reed doing Velvet Underground songs and some of his early hits. If you love ’70s rock guitar you MUST hear this album. How our classic rock stations can play the same songs over and over and ignore this album is beyond me. The links I’m posting aren’t videos, just the song with a picture, but it’s still well worth it.
The first is Intro/Sweet Jane-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayCSA6fk9ZA
The next is Whit Light/White Heat-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpxMr6J3UHM
The only complaint I have about this album is that it’s not a double album.
Winner.
