They sell that one at audiocubes and I'm pretty sure they have some specs on it. You an check it out there. Someone even reviewed it.

This is something I also want to do very easily without having to switch cables or something complicated like that. This in fact the main reason I still use my Marantz receiver as headphone amp and speaker amp from my soundcard. That way I can just leave my headphones plugged in (271 so when...

At first listen. I was dissapointed as I was a huge fan of their early work. However, their latest release is amazing. Once I gave it a chance and put behind their earlier more sparsely instrumented work. Amazing band and awesome evolution.

Ahhh...yes, I did indeed forget that bit of information concerning Camera. Good call on that. And the other group I was thinking of was mentioned! Acid House Kings...been addicted to their latest for the past couple months. Very nice twee sound and the DVD that accompanies is a great addition.

Twee! Yes! Twee rocks! Belle and Sebastian is a must. Camera Obscura I personally like even better. It hits me really really hard everytime I hear them. Ugh...its just like too much. Let's see what else...ok...I had another group that I love but I just can't bring them to mind right now and...

Very cool that DarkAngel listed Starflyer 59. They never get the respect they deserve especially for being 11 albums into their career. A consistently powerful pop rock force to deal with. Although if you are looking for more shoegazey material definitely go for their older material (like Gold...

The thing is when you release a single album with 22 songs on it and 75 minutes of material it's going to be very tough to please everyone for the entire 75 minutes. That being said Devendra has released an amazing songs showcasing his knack for incredible pop songs encased within his 'folk'...

I knew that Absolution was an old release and that it had even been released a while ago in the States. I had a copy of it for over a year at least when they got big. What I was referring to was the fact that nearly overnight they started getting MASSIVE airplay. Word of mouth and strong touring...

You're not the only one. I never understood that either. It's like night and day either people never really listened to one or the other or think all bands with guitars sound the same. I agree with you that the lead of Muse has some similar vocal inflections as Yorke. But thats about it. Maybe...

Nearly all the bands mentioned here would not fall under the correct genre definiton of emo. Most bands mentioned in this thread so far would fall under pop rock if anything else. Now not to go into some long ardurous spiel but emo as a genre is based in hardcore from the mid eighties. Then just...

I remember receiving the single for Tunnels a few months before the album came out. I placed it on my turntable and was amazed right away. The song filled one of those empty places in my mind where songs I want to hear are found. It was the sound of something I had been looking for but had not...

Alright let's see... Half-Handed Cloud - Thy is a Word and Feet Need Lamps Amazing concise album...with perfect quirky pop songs. Varied instrumentation keeps it interesting throughout especially with the dozens of hooks founds in each song. Boredoms just released a limited edition cd...

I will never tire of this recommendation. CAT POWER CAT POWER CAT POWER!!!

"Daft Punk is Playing at My House" LCD Soundsystem Not overdone like the rapture but very effective and booty shaking nonetheless.

You must make sure to include at least one or two selections form the Mermaid Avenues. Always overlooked I think.

Actually the Coalesce member is also a member of the Get Up Kids (RIP) and it's basically his project. Although Pope from the Get Up Kids does also play on the album as a member of the band. Personally, I didn't find too much to like about the album except maybe track 2, forget the name. It's...

PtheD I am so sorry about that...sheesh...I would seriously like break down and cry. Or something of that nature. I just realized I was asked how many tracks earlier in the thread. MPC ~ 20,000 tracks FLAC ~ more than that and I really have no idea And I have no idea how many tracks of...

CAT POWER>>CAT POWER CAT POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD...yes shes the pic to the left. CAT POWER!!! oh and Joanna Newsom is pretty popular right now. She's really good as well. So I'll mention her

I would think the Guided By Voices is much more connected with the term lo-fi than Neutral Milk Hotel. I never really thought of NMH as Lo-Fi. They're Elephant 6 so the term associated with them is more like psychedelic. But Lo-Fi is just a DIY sound not really a genre or anything anyways...

Let us see. Basically I don't listen to CDs directly. I get a CD and rip it right away to flac and then eventually to MPC (archive FLAC onto DVD). I think I now have about 500 gigs of FLACS and it increases everyday. And that isn't counting my 300 gigs of MP3s from when I used to do the MP3...

wouldn't the easiest thing be to ask your friend? is this an audio cd or data? if its audio then it'll be hard to get the info. if its data then go by the file names? or nearly any program should recognize unless it doesn't have any of the info. Also, 'technically' this is probably illegal...

I doubt many NPR contributers listen to Blood Brothers, Diplo, Aesop Rock, Futureheads, Fiery Furnaces, MF Doom, Bloc Party, MIA, Wolf Eyes, Arcade Fire (ok maybe that one), or even M83. I wouldn't call it boring but yeah Coldplay headlining a group of acts like that is sad but who else has more...

damien jurado damien jurado damien jurado....sooo underrated and unappreciated

Yeah, I'm really starting to enjoy using the mac os. The only thing that still is holding me back is the fact that there is no way to know really if my rips are perfect. That bothers me even if I don't hear the difference. But yeah, I'll probably be buying a desktop in the near future and see...

Blessing do you use apple lossless? Just curious.
