I've picked up some good stuff lately:
Xiu Xiu - A Promise
Aislers Set - How I Learned To Write Backwards
The Postal Service - Give Up
Broken Social Scene - You Forget It In People
The Microphones - Mount Eerie
Mira Calix - Skimskitta
Songs Ohia - Magnolia Electric Co.
With the exception of the Mira, which I've head discussed quite a bit on here, has anybody heard any of these? Can anybody turn me on to something new given the albums I've mentioned?

is Skimskitta all that good? I have like 3 mira calix CD's and I don't really care for them all that much. Before titworth tells me Im closed minded I was wondering if you think it sounds different then her other stuff?

The Postal Service sounds interesting. I've never heard it... can you do a review or add some comments on it or something?
As for mira... i have skimskitta and one on one. Which are nice if you want to mix it up a bit. Although I don't frequent these albums all that much. Maybe now that it is better outside i will listen to them while taking a walk in the woods!

Yeah I know what you mean sometimes where you are, who your with, or what is going on in life when you listen to an album deeply influences how well you take to the record.
I really love your tracks by the way VirginPusher

But seriously, I like to 'fish' sometimes. I've found a few people here and there that listen to some anti-idm.
Found a handful of fanatical Will Oldham fans which was a nice surprise.

You like Xiu Xiu? That's cool. I made a topic about them a long time ago, I think, but no one really said anything. Most people hate that guy Jamie's voice, but I love it.

I know what you mean, you would think people who listen to warp would have open minds....but still you get people bashing classical and classic rock. But just because someone doesn't like a particular person does not really mean they are closeminded its when they bag on something they never try...or have no knowledge of. Peoples opinions are always going to be different but I hate when someone says "such and such sucks" for no damn reason
okay Ill shut up now

if you're waiting for me to apologize for what i said about people here and mira calix's music, i'm not. get over it.
what i said above has nothing to do with gender, just resistance to trying other types of music.

Yeah man, that guys voice is aweome! So fragile.. Like every song was written 15 minutes after his grampa died or something.
I can totally see why some people would be put off by his voice though.

Someone sent me a tape that had a some songs by songs:ohia on it... "nervous bride", "being in love" and "lioness". All from the album "lioness" i think. I haven't been able to find that one yet, but i loved those three songs :-) I must remind myself to search for it next time i'm in a bigger city.

Aphex Acid:
I'm no wordsmith, or record reviewer for that matter.. but here's a brief rundown on the albums I listed.
Xiu Xiu - A Promise [Imagine if Gary Numan made a new album after being kept in a sensory deprivation chamber for a year and was taken out every Wednesday to be physically abused]
Aislers Set - How I Learned To Write Backwards [Like the music my mom listened to when she was a kid, except it's been magically transported to the year 2003, hitting scraps of punk that were floating in some temperal tube along the way. Cheerful on the surface, but has menacing undertones]
The Postal Service - Give Up [Non-threatening pop-rock from a group of obvious HAB fans (see: natural anthem)]
Broken Social Scene - You Forget It In People [still checking it out... 'anthems for a seventeen year old girl' is really interesting sounding..]
The Microphones - Mount Eerie [acousto-ambient concept album.. real thick]
Mira Calix - Skimskitta [I only got this cause its the dude from autechres wife.. heh]
Songs Ohia - Magnolia Electric Co [nu country (heheh)]

to pomme de terre :
you sholud check this:
Dance Disaster Movement - We Are From Nowhere
Deerhoof - Apple O'
Hint Hint - Sex Is Everything
Interesting new bands which combine ultra funny rock (as liars) and electronic...
also check the faint - danse macabre, but that's older....

Castanza:
The Lioness is on a split 7" with Scout Niblett.
Wow that song is so beautiful.. "whether you save me or whether you savage me, i want my last look to be the moon in your eyes"
One totally sad day at my house was spent with that song on repeat..
I Miss My Lion, the flip.. is also very good. Better than the version that appeared on Scout Nibletts full-length, Sweetheart Fever.. which I recommend picking up if that's your style..
