The Official 'Pick Laurel's Brain About Music' thread

[IndieSnob]

Where you you stand on Archers of Loaf?

If you were to pick only one Elephant Band collective artist/album to listen to for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Note, this question is of dire importance.

They're probably one of my favorite Chapel Hill bands. I was sort of iffy on them at first. I actually didn't like Icky Mettle, despite (or maybe because of) my friend's insistence that I was about to listen to THE best record of the year, but subsequent listens proved she was right. I generally like stuff on Merge (LOVE Polvo and Seaweed, though I have to say I like Teenage Fanclub LESS now then I did in college), so I figured I was just not listening right or something. That happens sometimes. I HATED "Nothing Rhymes with Orange" the first 5 times I heard it because it wasn't a Jawbreaker album, but I love that record and most of Jets to Brazil now.

Apples in Stereo, no question. I could listen to the Fun Trick Noisemaker album for weeks all by itself.

Geez. Get a room.

Isn't that what this is?

Odd synchrony -- the rhythm of this tune I was listening too, matches Laurel's stroking of her fish in perfect time.
