 Did you go to the show last week? [/QB]

yeah, went to the show.  really enjoyed it, as they played a good deal off of "know by heart."  i don't know, the new one doesn't sound like they are really in it anymore.  maybe it was because i was listening to it at work, but nothing in the album really excited me or kept me wanting to listen to it.  their previous albums always had some interesting vocal melody or chord progressions, but this one just seemed like uninteresting background music. i blame it on andrew kenny for going to graduate school in nyc.

I have only just started listening to American Analog Set but I really like the second track on the new album, probably because I really liked it at the show.

Henry Rollins is a corporate whore and a disgrace to the punk rock community.

  Absolutely, hands down best show - Rollins Band. Chills were going down my spine, it was so great.
 And this is from someone who's seen thousands of bands in my life.

  What about Liz Phair's new one. I'm loving it.

Are you really?  Did you enjoy her other albums?  Just trying to get a baseline here....  I have only heard the 30 second snippets of each song on the album from the website, and on first listen it was not inspiring.
 
 Or are you pulling our legs?!?

Bugger, that is really annoying...
 
 Right I am going to try and stick to being a coldplay fan.

As the boards resident hipster, I was being ironic.

since all the "kwel" kidz are doing it  :p

Like I said, I've only heard one song -- Blood Brothers -- and it's got the same vocal effects as The Strokes.  The first couple of times I heard the song, I thought perhaps The Strokes actually made a second album.  
 
 I'll track down the Tyde CD and give the whole thing a listen. [/QB]

I think you'll like it.As for the B/sparks comparisons,some same members,entirely different musical genre.B/sparks are much more in the alt/country vein whereas Tyde are much more psych poppy.

Saw her last night on one of the late night talk shows and if that song is any indication,I'll be steering clear of the new one.Without  a doubt,she did still look good though,for what it's worth.
