Wow, that's some wicked middle school vocab. Now if you thought it was the soundtrack from Raiders of the Lost Ark I would guess you were from the US, now I'm guessing some alien place like Mars or France.

I love the way your quote of my quote left off the last ". Very meta. You're like a turtlely indie thinker.

BTW I'm from DC. So there's that.

Your post seems to indicate you think Ben Gibbard is a part of iron and wine. he is not. that is sam beam's work, and it is amazing - especially his last two releases (our endless numbered days and woman king)

M.I.A. - Arular - hip hop
Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock and Roll - funny, catchy pop rock
Broken Social Scene - self-titled - catchy as all hell.
Bright Eyes - Digital Ash in a Digital Urn - better than Postal Service
Why? - Elephant Eylash - pretty good indie rock from a rapper
Lou Barlow - EMOH - acoustic, folky pop stuff from the driving force of Sebadoh
Fiery Furnaces - EP - spastic pop
Spoon - Gimme Fiction - good pop/rock from the best rock band on the planet
Beck - Guero - it's Beck!

Architecture in Helsinki - In Case We Die - cutesy, spastic pop that's really good
LCD Soundsystem - self-titled - great dance music
Russian Futurists - Our Thickness - weird pop music

oh, you're witty no doubt. it's just kinda annoying. if you weren't talking about me it'd be kinda funny I guess.

I display much more of the attitude I'm (jokingly) accused of when it comes to sports than music though.
