   I checked out Moby's "Wait for Me" album after hearing "Shot in the Back of the Head" and it ended up being pretty interesting...

   The use of choral elements in "A Seated Night" and the general mood of the album made me think of SR on the first listen, and sure enough, I found that the album was mixed by Ken Thomas. Am I good or what

   ^ yeah yeah... but more importantly have you grabbed the "submarine" and "spitting" sounds I posted yet, nook?

   I did! I listened to the spitting thing a few times but can't figger it..
   the other sound you sampled was the warble tho, not submarine and it sounded exactly like those ooooowahhhaooo sticks.

   ^ ah okay, right, the warble versus the sub. if u let me know the time of the submarine I'll try to grab that....the spitting thing it the ass end of of some sort of reverse sample. you often get that sound when reversing hi-hats or cymbals, where the attack is at the end of the sound.

   you have got seriously fucking great ears, girly wurly. seriously. you hear shit that most others don't/can't. you'd be a valuable asset in a mixdown suite, for real.

   I was going through my records and came across my Godspeed you black emporer stuff. man I forgot how good they were. That and the Cancer Conspiracy are going to be on repeat for a little while now.

   And I really dig the new Mogwai stuff as well.

    I have! José González is a beastly musician. I like his solo stuff a little better than what's on Fields. I didn't go see them when they came to Chapel Hill, though, which I'm starting to regret.

    Does anyone knows "Weh"?
    It's the name of an acoustic project of Erik Evju.
    Only twelve strings guitar, tambourine and (male) voice, Dark Acoustic Neofolk.
    Awesome

    @Birbax - I liked that song! will have to check out more...

    My most recent....

    Tame Impala - Innerspeaker (just saw them live! LOVE this band/album!!!
    Pretty impressive that the singer, Kevin Parker, played all the instruments,
    & put down nearly all the tracks on the album!! Band has been mainly for
    playing live, but will be more involved on next album from what I've heard)

    Foals - Total Life Forever (only two listens, but love it!!!!!! Listened heaps
    to their first album too.)

    Sleigh Bells - Treats (not sure my cup of tea, but will give a few listens)

    Band of Horses - Infinite Arms (haven't finished, but fairly nice so far)

    Seabear - We Built A Fire (LOVE this album to bits!!! Saw them in Oct!)

    Fistful of Mercy - As I Call You Down (Dhani Harrison, Ben Harper,
    and Joseph Arthur--great collaboration. Really enjoying this!)

    The Fresh and Onlys - (a couple listens, REALLY liking it!!)

    Iron & Wine - The Creek Drank the Cradle (brief listen; so far really nice)

    Kings of Convenience - Always nice, pretty....

    The Rifles - Great Escape (just listening now...not bad so far....)

    :o)

    I recently kind of found Mew thanks to Peacefully :D I love them! I can't think of any others at the moment though, I've been so busy with Christmas stuff that I haven't been able to listen to anything for ages. Also, my cat chewed through my headphones wire so they broke and I have to wait until after christmas for some new ones as the snow is effecting all the delieveries and stuff D:

    @LuvJonsi: I'm not a huge fan of the band in general, just the song :P but I really do like it.

    this would have to be one of my most favorite arrangements ever. maybe one of my favorite orchestral pieces <3

    If you live in the US, you should seriously consider going to one of these shows!

    http://olafurarnalds.com/tour-dates/

    I just bought tickets for the one in Chicago, it was only $15 each and no service charge. That is how it should always be :) I'm so excited to have something else to look forward to now that Jonsi is finished for a while.

    e: also one UK show, almost forgot about you :)
