The Evens!

Miccio's right. The Evens disc is great.

you guys just said that cause pitchfork reviewed it today! i do agree, tho. great record.

the oranges band [on lookout, morphius, amish] , the curtains [on frentic and featuring members of deerhoof].

new hold steady coming soon. calla too.

The Hold Steady is leaked and fairly good. I didn't think I would be a fan, but I ended up listening to the whole thing straight through without even a thought of turning it off.

Also: P:ano, the new Jeff Hanson (self-titled) (I love it), and, um, there's more but I don't have my iPod with me.

Does anyone really want to listen to an album recommended because it's "decent?"

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 20:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently.

C'mon, decent was just chosen because it rhymes with recent.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 20:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not prepared either to call Here Comes Everyone great. It is decent though.

I second the Hold Steady, particularly song 3 "Your Little Hoodrat Friend." That one is so good I could plotz.

new Enon comp is alright. looking forward to the new Brendan Benson.

the upcoming spoon album is the bomb

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 21:04 (twenty-one years ago)

My favorite Aloha album is still That's Your Fire — I miss the vibes on the new one. Glad they're getting attention now, though.

one month passes...
The new Old Haunts album on Kill Rock Stars, Fallow Field, might be even better than decent.

Black Mountain is a great record that sounds better with each repeated listening.

i love New Rhodes

There are some sick tracks on Bardo Pond's Cypher Documents. Also, Sleater-Kinney's new one is tightly noisy as hell and awesome.

The Lights!

Wood And Wire EP

I second the Oranges Band recommendation, and add the Rosebuds for similarly good-timey simple pop/rock. And I really like the Ponys, their soon to be relased record is pretty killer.

Also, Hot Snakes put out one of the best albums of last year, but I don't know if you'd consider that "indie rock." You should, though.

Anything by The Radio Dept.
