Taken By Trees sounds SO much like Lykke Li it's crazy. Nice music though.

Trying to get into Animal Collective but I'm not feeling it so far
Maybe it's just me and I'm not really giving it a chance. I've heard nothing but good things with them

I couldn't either so don't feel bad...I gave them several chances. Even allowed some time to pass to come back to. Just couldn't get into them...

Thanks bro, might give Merriweather Post Pavillion a shot all the way through today. I was listening to the first couple tracks last night, but it sounded like one big entire song. Got boring after a while as their songs kinda got get muddled together

A Fleetwood Mac tribute album came out recently with a bunch of indie artists covering their songs. Most of them were really good including Lykke Li doing Silver Springs. Although it's over produced, it's a really nice cover...She made the song her's while paying tribute to the song....

Thanks! Mad I couldn't make it. I've missed out on Frank Ocean, Florence and the Machine, The Weeknd, and Grizzly Bear because of work. Had tickets to 3 of them.

For those of you who have seen Beach House and The xx live who did you like more?

The xx
I've seen both and I think The xx put on a better show. Their current tour, they're playing a ton of songs. Most of their new record as well as most of the first record. What's unique is they reworked a lot of the older tracks for this current tour. Crystalised for example is much bigger and bolder sounding this time around. They'll also throw in dancier cuts and I believe they're playing some stuff from Jamie xx's repertoire too. Go check them out.

If you like The xx vibe (groups with drum machines & guitars), check out The Kills. They kinda started the whole drum machine with guitars sound back in 2000. If you like the down trodden chill wave kinda sound check out Toro Y Moi or Washed Out. MGMT is pretty good too. Otherwise check the previous pages to see what you might like. Some good websites for indie music are Pitckfork, Stereogum, the Fader, & even Hypetrak (maybe even Spin magazine's website). Cheers...

loudQUIETloud: A Film About the Pixies
If anyone is fan of the Pixies, here's a great doc done back in 2006 about the band. Radiohead has said this doc served as a lot of inspiration for them...No Frank Black isn't the other guy in Tenacious D...
