Would Mankie, like the decemberists…..
Pitchfork likened them to an American Coral. I bet he would prefer the coral…… But the decemberists are hard to judge from a quick listen of just one song. It took a little while to grow on me. The first album and here I dreamt I was an architect and July July are fantastic. the middle of the album is slower and more awkward.
My verdict is Mankie will like the decemderists only if he buys the album and he wont buy the album if he just listens to the 30s clips.
Instead, if he has not already, he should get the coral.
$12.25? Go fuck yourself, Tickets.com

I agree that …Architect and July July are the best songs on either album, but I think that the new album is the better album.
I think you are crazy for prefering the second album. The first two songs are a bit of a turn off, too quiet and sparse, for me.
The coral are way more poppier than the decemberists. More like the decemberists after they had listened to the jam. Perhaps even more so with the new Coral albumn. Billy McCai, reminds me of the Jam quite a bit….. Its a bit like Smithers-Jones. I did give you that coral albumn, right?

So do you have the coral?
Uh oh, then I think the Decemberists are out for Bags. I bought a couple Coral singles, giving me five songs altogether, and they just don't float my boat. If the Decemberists are even less poppy, I'm not sure they'll grab me.

I have never heard of three dog night. A perousal of allmusic and their song highlights did not bring back any memories of ever hearing them at all.
Bags, which singles did you get?
I hear all of you about your service charge woes. I sat down on Sunday to buy a ticket for Belle And Sebastian and went I found out the services charges amounted to 9 bucks, I just cancelled my purchase. That's 1/3rd of the price of the ticket. I said, Hell No. I guess I'll have to miss that show.
I'm in Baltimore and just can't zip by the club to get tickets. I'll be down there tommorrow night for Supergrass.. so if there are still tickets for B&S, I'll get mine then. :cool:

Originally posted by The Pariah:I like them too, but the vocals and instrumentation have that early 70's vibe and remind me of Three Dog Night. When I first played the album for a friend, onee song, Dreaming of You, sounded like a cover of a Three Dog Night (TDN) song. My friend said it was a TDN song, but alas it is listed as an original.

I don't remember now, but I'll post later when I'm in front of my iTunes.
Three Dog Night are, to me, one of those bands like Bread and America. I know some of their songs, but had no idea it was they who sang/played them. ???

I dont think they were big in the UK and believe it or not I dont listen to american Classic Rock stations, unlike Mankie.

Should I rush right out and buy all their albums?
Originally posted by The Pariah:no,but the greaterst hits would be good to add to a collection if you can get it cheap.Commercial pop,with good harmonies.Just remember it's a pre punk 70's band.

Sorry guys but The Decemberists do nothing for me. They are okay but I really have no interest in them.
Markie, believe me, you've heard Three Dog Night somewhere, somehow, in someway. They've saturated mainstream culture so deeply that the whole world would know of at least a few of their hits even if they couldn't identify them. They were very big in the late 60s - early 70s and weren't bad then. Now they are pure mainstream Oldies. The only album of their's that I've ever liked was their 1st one. That damn bullfrog song drove me out of my freaking mind!!! I think it was called Joy To The World. (Chris Rock, or some Black comedian had a great joke about that song!)
