There's no way I can read this thread dude. But get all of the other Sunny Day Real Estate Albums, LP2, How It Feels to Be Something On, and Killed By An Angel.

My whole approach to commenting about music with people I don't know is to encourage them to look outside the usual sources to find stuff that they like. This stuff might sound very similar to the mainstream stuff they like, but they are not aware of it because they have not widened their scope. In my opinion, it is usually better, because the commercial influence is not so pervasive and bands are not asked to mold their sound to fit the radio.

i agree.
i also think it's funny that some people are under the impression that bands like the white stripes , hives, and the strokes just magically came out of nowhere as acceptable mainstream bands and never existed until they were mainstream. because if they did that would make them crappy bands, right ?

For the record, since this is probably directed at least partially at me, I completely agree with you guys and am not one to only listen to mainstream bands. That said, I'm also not some elitist jackass who automatically drops a band as soon as they sign to a major label. I really don't care whether the band is huge or not. I'm not saying you guys are doing this, but the elitist attitude gets very old very fast.

anyways, thanks for all the suggestions and keep them coming, i do plan on trying to get nearly all of the good ones over the course of a week or so. expect another one of these threads later on, but for now lets keep focusing on S. its such a great letter.

I'm an old man that used to download wav files to hear songs damnit!; I don't know any of this [censored]. What should be my optimum settings when I burn from Music Match?

If you must go lossy, then it has to be Ogg Vorbis level 5-6. Piss on all this MP3 crap!
