All I've heard by Jem is "Just a Ride'. Which was on the tape at the store I work in, which loops every 3 hours. So I need a break from that song.
Yeah, that's the song that's everywhere. It was in Wonderfalls, and it was on The O.C. twice. But I recommend the CD, and you can skip over that song for a while.
Good News for SA and Steph L: CD's are (finally) on the way!
Well, Polter-Cow, I've successfully traded for Frou Frou. And had a good hard laugh at myself while listening to it and realizing that
three
of their songs have been on our store tapes. I guess that Bath and Body Works has good taste in music.
I did recognize 'Just a Ride' on Wonderfalls, though. Now I have more material for my "Music from and Inspired by Wonderfalls" cd. What I had before fell mostly under the "Inspired by" category.
I have to come in and highly recommend Snow Patrol's Final Straw again. It's such a lovely CD. And cheap, too.
Anybody know Modest Mouse? I heard some of their stuff this weekend and liked it, I think. Thoughts?

I really didn't like Modest Mouse, at first. But then I heard their album "This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About" and I've been hooked ever since. Which album did you hear?
Good News for People Who Like Bad News. I only heard The World at Large and one other song, but Amazon tells me that's the album.
While I was looking up which songs were on "Good News for People Who Like Bad News," I noticed that Amazon has two free downloads up for grabs. I can't recommend the greatness of every song they've done but if I'm in a "I don't know who I am but I want to forget to think about it for a while" kind of mood, these are the guys I turn to :)

Here's my feeling: I'd kind of thought of them as a band liked by people who thought that Indie automatically equalled Good. And then I listened to them. I've only heard Good News, but, damn. It's really really good.
