a while back i asked everyone what music i should check out and now i will tell you what i think of what you guys told me, in alphabetic order (because of itunes!)

13th floor elevators - they are alright, but they arent that fun to listen to, there are lots of other pschedelic bands that do it better, even though they may have done it first.

63 crayons - i like them a lot, A+

antony and the johnstons - sucks sucks sucks, boring very boring. i do not like this at all

boy least likely to - i like this band, they have too much filler songs on their only album though

destroyer - pretty good, but hard to listen to for a long time. he really reminds me of bob dylan, even though his songs dont sound much like bob.....old bob dylan, like another side era

flotation toy warning - pretty good, i like the music a lot but i dont really like the singer's voice.

gerbils - is there anything other than "are you sleepy?" i love this album, gerbils are awesome

good goodbyes - i like this band, not the msot memorable, but good to listen to while on a walk

great lake swimmers - pretty good, but a littel boring. very nice to go to sleep to and to burn a copy for my grandmother.

menomena - i like them, very nice

mew - dont like that much

momus - i only listened to otto spooky, is there another album that i might like better?

music tapes - just boring, sorry

orange juice - i was expecting something completely different, and i really do not like it.

paper chase- alright

pipes you see, pipes you dont - pretty good, not as good as some of the other e6 stuff, but better than lots of non e6 stuff

red krayola - not very interesting or enjoyable

silver jews - i dont really enjoy this at all

sparrow - pretty alright, not the greatest

stars - i dont really like this

vashti bunyan - alright, but kind of boring

violent femmes - eh

i also really liked the thumbsucker soundtrack which is mostly polyphinic spree and a few elliot smith songs (including a cover of thirteen by big star which is really good)

i just thought i would give you guys some feedback on what you told me to check out, thanks again!

Well, I haven't heard Otto Spooky personally, but I'd try Tender Pervert, then Little Red Songbook or Stars Forever. Just be prepared for synths. And game boy music. Lots of game boy music.

Props to the 63 Crayons. I'd say try out Bunnygrunt, Go Sailor, Cub, Black Tambourine or the Snow Fairies if you like 63 Crayons. This is, if you haven't already, of course.

Also, try out Misty's Big Adventure - sort of of Montreal meets Madness in a parrallel universe, if you will. Highly recommended.
