Hey, I just wanted to thank you again for the intro to The Kills. My wife and I just got back from seeing them live, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen! Next payday, I'm picking up all four albums.

I -was- a bit surprised that the crowd was so...straight. I expected more of a visible punk influence for some reason (maybe because I can hear definite punk influences in the music), but the crowd was pretty much the same you'd see walking on any street in town. Hell, I didn't see a single mohawk or even a spiked do.

Next on my to-see list is BRMC. I can only hope they're as good as what we saw tonight.

Thanks again!

Wow, Pandora's first "match" couldn't have been weirder..."The Boy with Two Hearts", by "The Boy Least Likely to". If there was any resemblance there, I couldn't hear it.

A couple more not so good matches, and one by the Kills. Then we get one I've heard once or twice before, "The Ting Tings"...and there's actually a similarity, although The Kills are far more interesting, IMO.

I think Pandora's just getting weird lately...their matches seem to be far sloppier than they used to be. OTOH, that may not be all bad, I'm hearing a lot more new stuff than I had been.

i wa sjust on last fm and they said it sounded like the yeah yeah yeahs and the band you heard the other day, BRMC.

I can feel another Pandora station coming on...I'm really curious to see what other stuff Pandora thinks sounds like this. I'm leaning strongly towards D&B, even though that's not a bass he plays...he still plays it like one (mostly). Although the "sort-of-beatboxing" they do in some spots doesn't really fit anything I've ever heard.

None of that matters though, the only important thing is, I like it.

Again, thanks!

It has been described as post punk yuppie indie rock with a base of dance and electronica. So.. you're right!

What the hell kind of genre does this fall into?

I can hear similarities to d&b, although it isn't. And it vaguely reminds me of LCD Soundsystem, although I couldn't pinpoint why. Same with several electronic sub-genres...although it doesn't appear to exactly fit any of them either. Does it get it's own genre?

Why oh why are you doing this to me? My budget can't handle this influx of new talent!

C'mon, BRMC. Pull it out, baby. You're almost there!

BRMC's first album was great. i've not really listened to any of the newer cd's yet. they seem to be a pretty tight live band as well.
