Future Bible Heroes

The 6ths

Gothic Archies

Have you been here...? Not for everyone, but the people who love them are usually people who have my admiration and respect immediately.

Do you have a band like this? My other one is the Flaming Lips.

brianna

the magnetic fields are wonderfully talented -- i esspecially love "i don't wanna get over you" and "fear of trains" -- their new cd "I" is also very good.

pinkie

Yay! They are one of my favorite bands! I instantly have a crush on you. See how that works?

Mephex

The only stars there really are
were shining in your eyes
There is no sun except the one
that never shone on other guys
The moon to whom the poets croon
has given up and died
Astronomy will have to be revised

I am currently downloading this to test-drive them - so i am yet to hear anything :\ . I understand they have a new album (this year) out as well?

Although i am a big fan of the Flaming Lips

Mantus

A band with tallent for sure. Not my cup-o-tea thought, too pop and laid back.

I happen to be listening to their latest, i, right now actually. It's pretty amazing.

"Growing older is killing a child who laughed and smiled at anything." Stephin Merritt's a great songwriter, a lot of jems like this.

69 Love Songs aint' too bad either.

I don't believe in the sun... How could it shine down on e v e r y o n e? But never shine on me... How could there be? Such cruelty...

I love their new album. I love all Stephin Merritt's work.

I almost bought "Pieces of April" today. Great movie, with a Magnetic Fields soundtrack. There's one new song on it, "On April Day." It's a beautiful song, lyrics and melody, as always...
