I sent Evan 2 songs by The Go! Team back in December or something and he didn't like them. Said the music was "weird."

Unicorns

Hmm...I just hit the reply button and noticed i wasn't on stillepost /images/graemlins/confused.gif

You are correct.

BTW, the best song is the Power Is On.

I also downloaded a few of their songs a while back per recommendation from OOT. it's catchy, but I can't understand why most of their lyrics are unintelligible.

hmm i checked it out. i like it.

as far as albums from 2004 that are good,..
reigning sound "too much guitar" & the ponys "laced with romance" are probably at the top of my list... that i can think of.

On a more rock tip. Please check out Ambulance LTD and Autolux. Good stuff.

The Avalanches' "Since I Left You" kind of arrives at a similiar sound as Go-Team but comes at it from more of a cut and paste hip-hop (and non lo-fi) starting point.

For what it's worth, "Since I Left You" came in at #5 on Pitchfork's Top 100 Albums of the Decade (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/top/2000-04/) (so far). It definitely makes my top ten of the decade thus far as well, and I would definitely suggest that other people check it out.

I'll have to check out the Go! Team.

As an unrelated note, I really don't get the love for the Decemberists. Maybe the guy's voice just annoys me. The only tracks I really like (that I can think of) are Here I dreamt I was an architect and billy liar.

At the risk of intense flame-i-tude, what type of genre is this stuff? Indie-rock stuff?

The Decemberists are awesome. As for Amoeba, I'm sure you are referring to the SF one, but the LA one is the best music store that I have ever been to.

Speaking of Pitchfork...

The fact that they didn't publish content for Memorial Day irked me a little. I mean, you don't see newspapers stop their presses. All the articles are written ahead of time, so just publish them! It's not like we're spared their ads either...

Lazy bastards.

but i am glad you guys kept posting about this album, because i'm really diggin' it.

My response after first few songs: "Meh. Interesting style, but whats the big deal?"

After a few more songs: "I can dig it."

After the entire album: "OMG it is good stuff."

I think Junior Kickstart is my tentative favorite ATM.
