a_band_you_should_listen_to cocoon In light of: a_film_you_should_see a_book_you_should_read I thought I'd start another one. I also thought it was amazing that I hadnt yet started a Blather about my...well, I hate to say favourite band in the world, because I dont like to pinpoint one band over all the others I love. But I love them to bits, so what the hell. You should all check out 65daysofstatic. I think most of the people here may appreciate them. To kickstart the experience, I highly recommend [everything], but for now, I'll leave it at these few songs: Radio Protector I Swallowed Hard, Like I Understood Retreat! Retreat! Drove Through Ghosts To Get Here When We Were Younger & Better The Distant & Mechanised Glow Of Eastern European Dance Parties 070505 ... Isaou ::pounces:: I do be liking that very much... 070505 ... cocoon Yay! I'm glad to hear that. They'll be on their first proper tour in the US (I'm assuming this is where you are) soon so if they're in a city near you, you should check them out. They're great live. 070506 ... Isaou sadly no =( I live in a hole at the bottom of the world ie. New Zealand. Do you think they'll come here?? :D 070506 ... cocoon Aww. Poor you. Although apart from that [being far, far away] NZ looks pretty awesome. Rugby, decent weather, laidback attitude [or so I hear]. Shame about its location though :D 070506 ... Isaou Sheep! You forgot the sheep!! I thought that was all we were known for. The annoying thing is, whenever actual good bands come here, they have one show only, & it's all the way up the top of NZ, no easy way to get to it. ::sniff:: 070506 ... soliloquy id rather live here than anywhere else in the world. not because of sheep or rugby or binge drinking or pavlova but because of the sunsets 070506 ... Isaou You must live in a different part of NZ.... Chch - can't see the sunsets for the fog! Pavlova.....mmmmmmm 070506 ... cocoon its hard not to spam this when I find a new band who i'm really into at a particular moment. but i'd have to add bon iver and friendly fires. two albums ive had long enough, and listened to enough times to justify putting them on here. very different though. bon iver - mellow, acoustic, perfect winter music to curl up to. friendly fires - happy fun bouncy dance around to summer music. 081216 ... nom mine 081217 ... cocoon where can i listen to your music nom? people should check out la roux, telepathe and kid cudi. 090226 ... cocoon florence & the machine the maccabees 090602 ... unhinged if you like hiphop: my boys in fresh cut collective live band made up of milwaukee allstars good mc amazing gin dance party they've only been playing out for six months and they already have amazing crowds at their shows. 090602 ... cocoon florence + the machine - lungs album out now. get it. it is amazing. 090712 ... Isaou Jamestown Story - depending in your mood 090712 ... cocoon james blake (check out his cover of feist - limit to your love and/or a wilhelm scream. i sense a love affair with him coming on) 110216 ... no reason the dears (their new album especially) 110216 ... lux www.dnots.com 110216 ... cocoon jakwob - the prize a free mixtape i feel is quite enjoyable 130421 what's it to you? who go blather from
