X? Bands That Start With X Are Dumb...

[Note: a lot of these aren't going to make much sense unless you
actually own the albums in question. And even then it's
questionable]





AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD - SOURCE TAGS
& CODES

Defines "calm before the storm" at the beginning, defines
"epic" at the end and defines "superb" at all other
times.

ASH - FREE ALL ANGELS

The insipid banality of the whole affair can be summed up by
the titles - not just "Sometimes", but "Someday" too.

AT THE DRIVE-IN - RELATIONSHIP OF COMMAND

Afro boys scream space operas about manuscripts and
revolution and paraplegic horse and carriage. Backing band adds social
realism. Maybe.

FOUR TET - ROUNDS

Drums boom bang clatter wallop bang bang! We all look broken
hearted at clockwork pianos, but don't forget to dance.

GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR! - F#A#OO

The sound of society slowly imploding with violins. You will
believe the machine is bleeding to death, like your
ears.

KINGS OF CONVENIENCE - QUIET IS THE NEW LOUD

Freezing cold Scandinavian rivers with little wooden huts on
their banks, surrounded by mountained forest nothingness - see inlay
for details.

LADYTRON - LIGHT &;amp; MAGIC

Aargh - they've gone Evil! Apparent icy indifference (with
East European schoolmistress) can be hard to overlook, but the tunes
exist.

MCLUSKY - MCLUSKY DO DALLAS

Their band is indeed better than my band (drug claims remain
contentious), but their pain and sadness sounds like
fun.

NEW PORNOGRAPHERS - THE ELECTRIC VERSION

The gayest album I own features the Sexiest Woman In Indie
(copyright Playboy)! Any song with "thee" gets my vote.

YEAH YEAH YEAHS - FEVER TO TELL

Loud lady shouts about rude things without assistance from
bass. First half is shrieked sex confusion, second is ghostly
echoes.
