When did Octopus Project change their name?

/nitpicky jerkoff

I think you are thinking of a different octopus project (just like there is a band called The Prints versus Prints)

I think he is thinking of your mispelling of Project as "Porject."

That little house with trees is adorable.

oh ha, thanks Hoos

good thread.

I might as well add some more

U.N.P.O.C. myspace
King Creosote myspace
Adem myspace
Archer Prewitt myspace
The Sea and Cake myspace
Tahiti80 myspace (found this one through ILM)

Gibson hopes to sell 4,000 of the first limited-edition "robot guitars" worldwide, with 10 percent of those sales expected in Japan, said Yasuhiko Iwanade, president of Gibson Guitar Corp. Japan.

"Robots are very popular in Japan. So this is something that matches the developments here these days. It's a technology that Japanese can understand," he said.

Gibson has a history of innovating with guitars that fits well with robotics technology, Iwanade said.

Some of the bands that I linked here have been talked about plenty and are only included for comprehensive purposes. Others aren't talked about at all and some of those acts are awesome. And some bands here, although mediocre or bland, might have a song or two that works well on a great mix cd (or a compilation cd if you are opposed to mixes).

Le Loup myspace
The Vestals myspace
Sovus Radio myspace
American Football myspace
Efterklang myspace
Epicure myspace

If you don't want to discuss any of the groups already listed, feel free to contribute some gnarly local act or undiscoverd lesser-known talents with a myspace. (And I'll try to post less big name acts that have been more than enough in other ILM threads. And I'll try not to post bands that suck. I apologize if I posted some)

This isn't a very good thread

the single word i hate the most in conjunction with musical discussion: "eclectic". and so many people just love it.

look on facebook for fuck's sake. "ive got a very ecclectic taste, *lists shite sack of hackneyed indie shit*"

Great thread title though

eh, I just used the word 'eclectic' to post a wide variety of alternative lounge acts

but if you don't like Georgie James, His Name is Alive, Epicure, U.N.P.O.C., King Creosote, or Archer Prewitt than I don't think you will like anything here. I thought someone would get a kick out of some of these groups.

the album by le loup is really good.
though i do flip past the middle section with storm/noise, as i think it spoils the flow.

I was leaning moretowards eclectic in the eucalyptus hippie sense.
Georgie James is my new archer prewitt alternative.
Le loup is just trippy like most of these artists?

I just barfed in my pants

i like some his name is alive stuff. what the hell are they doing on this list?

the rest of this is bargain bin pro-tools christrock-sounding indie that doesn't need to be discussed, really

more for your eclectic list:

santana
weird al
todd rundgren

oh and pat boone of course

sorry for takin the piss, but i guess that's what this thread is for right??? (other than to compliment your badazz ascii skills)

This thread was supposed to be about finding new bands. not just santana. I doubt you gave enough of those a full listen (even if there is only a few songs on most of their myspaces). But if you don't like "eclectic music" and rather hear Hard Rock, B.O.C. or Artic Monkeys than I don't think you should post bands in here anyways. I dont expect all the bands I mention to be awesome but there is some well deserved contenders you may have overlook or chose to overlook and complain just cuz you don't like that style. In that case, please keep your comments to yourself.

weirdo

So by "eclectic" you mean "indie rock/pop that's not too loud." I mean I guess that's what LJ already said, more or less. But seriously, what is it you want us to do here, spin the propeller on your cap and tell you what a good boy you are for liking some bands?

You could just check out some of the bands (I don't think I like octopus prject either).

I came off wrong as soon as I started this thread. It was doomed to fail.
Yeah my version of ecelctic isnt what some of yours ideas but I thought some of you might have a band or two that is similar to my taste and would fit well on this list?

anyways, woooh, I can spin my propellor. And if you aren't interested in these groups I understand, I didn't make a neat enough list I suppose, and I included some Klunkers I suppose.

Don't participate in this thread and just let it die. I admit it, I messed up.

Are American Football still going? They scored big with "The One with the Tambourine," but I thought they proceeded to go up in smoke.

(But then I guess the inclusion of Gastr means this isn't a "current artists" thing...?)

don't bump this shit

but seriously the mobius band aren't bad, i guess - i only know of them from the song "electric piano" which i've listened to like a dozen times in the last four years after hearing them randomly on my tiny ass lil arkansas college radio station and then having to freakin google the lyrics cause the station was so lo budget they didn't even keep playlists on the website. anyways it's a corny song, probably embarassing, but i enjoy it enough to have searched them and found this thread. so keep up the good work CaptainLorax my beautiful buttercup

don't bump this shit

yeah don't do that

i don't even know what to say, CaptainLorax makes me wanna bump shit. blame CaptainLorax i guess

what do you think about what am0n said, CaptainLorax

don't bump this s--t.

checkin back in for CaptainLorax's reply

I don't know is my reply

Some myspaces here have some good songs on them. Some of them I just posted without hearing much. Some of the bands died after basically 1 album

I sort of wish Sovus Radio would take off so that the album I bought from an early show would become valuable

This isn't a very good thread
