I rec'd it in the first post! lmfao

Here's Brett Dennen's page. Really reminds me of a young Paul Simon. "Ain't no Reason," is an incredible song.

Doh. They were on my mind because my friend happened to be talking about them last night.

someone hit me with something new. Guitar driven. Garage rock. Lo-fi. Whatever.

The Fields
http://www.myspace.com/fieldsband

They have their new album streaming in its entirety. Heres the AMG review:

Quote:The five members of the British band Fields couldn't have planned it this way, but in a single ten-track album, they manage to evoke all of the following bands/artists (and in no particular order): My Bloody Valentine, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis, Radiohead, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Nick Drake, and Cocteau Twins. That may be a potent cocktail of influences, but it's all in balance throughout the eye-opening brew of lush, heavily textured music that spills from Everything Last Winter, the band's spellbinding full-length debut. Acoustic guitars have a special place in the songs of Fields -- before a swirl of synthesizers takes over, they set a deceptively gentle mood. They're the first of many layers in what amounts to a stacked but penetrable sound, one that's made all the more distinctive by the well-balanced male/female harmonies of Nick Peill and Thorunn Antonia. Standout tracks include the opening "Song for the Fields" (from their 7 from the Village EP) and the '70s-tinged "You Don't Need This Song (To Fix Your Broken Heart)."

Thanks, 84. Just listened to the first 3 tracks. Sounding good so far.

I stumbled upon The Whigs tonight. Ironically I saw their logo on television earlier today, not knowing it was for a band (seen below). When I came across it again browsing the music snob corner on Steve Dahl's website, I stopped and gave it a listen.

Anyway, I'm liking it.

I dont think I've posted these guys before either, The National. I was a big fan of their 1st album Alligator, and their follow up Boxer is just as good. Good late night music.

The National were on the Music Snob Corner too.

Just got into these cats. Not bad. I can dig it. Just might go and check 'em out in a few weeks.

First I thought you were talking about the defunct Afghan Whigs. They rock. Just another olderish band that I've taken a liking too.

haha, In The Whigs bio on iTunes it actually says, "Not to be confused with the Afgan Whigs."

A Shoreline Dream

Framing Hanley



I caught them as the opening act at the Evan's Blue show I went to.

Kind of a Hawthorne Heights type with more harmonies. Their new album is out 8/7/07, but I bought a copy at the show.

A couple good local Chicago bands I just ran across:

Airiel. Im going to try to catch them on Wednesday maybe.

Big Buildings. Methinks they owe a debt to Guided by Voices. Still good tho

The White Buffalo

It is a one man act and sound like what you'd get if you through Ray Lamontagne, Eddie Vedder and a tough of Neil Diamond in a blender.
