Yeah, Some Nights by fun. seems to be a pretty amazing album. You can all stream it(do it) at ournameisfun.com

My favorite tracks on it so far are probably the intro that SB mentioned above, All Alone, and Stars.

I listened to it like five times yesterday, but I still really can't get into it."Aim and Ignite" is a really fun album, and they do create a unique sound here, but I feel like most of the music itself gets weighed down by the really cluttered production. "Aim and Ignite" was crisp and tight, this album tries to be more sprawling and grandiose and only succeeds in bursts. And i really hate the abundance of auto tune. Maybe this will grow on me, they're still pretty catchy at least.

I was completely into it after my second listen, but then again I loved the autotune and how it was used 95% of the time. Still have to say that Aim and Ignite is superior. I really loving love "Stars" on this album though.

I don't know if they've been mentioned in this thread, but Hospitality is amazon's deal of the day, making their album(it's awesome, buy it) only $3.99.

Two of my favorites from the album:

Just saw Said the Whale last night, and what a show. I have no clue how popular outside of Canada they are, but here's a a pretty great song for people who don't know about them.

They just released a new album a couple months ago and I'm seriously digging it. It's way less folk-y from their last couple, but they can really make some great rock songs.

I'm really loving this band. Thanks for posting this.

Apparently NPR does a thing called the 9:30 Club which is just live streams of concerts. fun. just finished a live show minutes ago that was absolutely amazing. I need to find a way to get money for their show in Pittsburgh next month:

http://www.npr.org/event/music/151685907/live-thursday-fun-in-concert it hasn't been archived yet but once it is check it out.

It's also worth mentioning that Spiritualized will be on the 9:30 Club next week. That's another stream that everyone should check out. I'll have to remember to post a link the day it is scheduled.

I'm hearing some cool stuff here.

I don't think Hospitality has been mentioned. They're kind of poppy but very musical and self possessed. I don't know if that makes sense, I'm not great at describing. They have a new self-titled album out.

I might have mentioned them earlier in this thread but they deserve any mention they get. Their album is probably my favorite of the year so far. I really fell in love with the band after hearing it.

edit: new page so I might as well post this cover of Sprawl II by Arcade Fire that Hey Ocean! did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i25zLvU_xcs

Yeah I could really go for a bit more Christmas music. Not some novelty version of Jingle Bells sung by a 5 year old, just, you know, music, that is about Christmas. This is my favorite holiday, and one of my favorite "yeah, this is where I want my life to be right now" moments is throwing on a little Christmas music, lighting a fire, and letting the tree and the fire (and the XBMC visualization) be the only light in the room.

Hell, suggestions? Are there Christmas compilations of indie pop bands that I don't know about?

e: Not. Zooey. Deschanel.

This is really recent:
