If you want to hear some good indie rock get some The Zutons, The New Pornographers. Although AF is ok, I'm pissed they released that video, especially rebellion(lies) since that's one of their worse songs. I'll give you some more band idea if you want, I got tons.
“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
It's alright, songs like In the back seat, Neighborhood 3, and 4 are way better. Neighborhood 3 is definetely their best song.
Plus saying an arcade fire is worse then another one is like saying that gold is crap compared to platinum, they're all great.
Another band to check out: The Decembrists
The Unicorns are definetely one of the best Indie-rock bands out there.
Also Death From above 1979 is incredible.

Decemberists and DFA are good...Unicorns were good but they're broken up now....My personal favorite Arcade Fire was Neighborhoods #2
Also I'd recommend:
-Interpol
-The Walkmen
-And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead (except Worlds Apart)
-The Hold Steady
-Mogwai
-Bright Eyes
-The Wrens
-Aesop Rock
-Broken Social Scene
I can name more if anyone's interested
I'd agree with pretty much that entire list. I don't think I've heard a coupe of those but The Wrens are awesome, same with And You Will know us (excpet worlds apart)
Adding:
Wilco
M83
Fiery Furnaces
Deerhoof
Porcupine Tree
Polyphonic spree
Architecture In Helsinki
Surfjan stevens
I could go on for a while...
More good recs, M83 and Wilco especially. I had a chance to see Fiery Furnaces at college but I was a dumbass and forgot what night it was. Also had a chance to see Trail of Dead but I was so pissed about Worlds Apart being ****ty that I didn't go.
The Wrens are sooo good...I saw them live at college back in February. There were probably only about 100 people there, the guys in the band were actually selling CDs themselves at a table...I got to talk to them before and after the show and got them all to sign my copy of Secaucus. Probably the best show I've ever been to. They're re-releasing the Abbott 1135 EP later this summer with 6 new tracks so it'll be LP-length...Can't wait for that.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Check out the Bravery's debut CD. Some pretty kickass tracks on it.
And yes, I know who the Zutons are. I think I kinda look like their guitarist

Classic rock is where it's at. I don't listen to anything after 1985, except AC/DC's TNT album.
And I also like Tenacious D, because they are classic rock-esque.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Porcupine Tree's Trains, Arriving Somewhere But Not Here, Start of Something Beautiful, Heartattack in a Layby, and Strip The Soul have also been getting heavy play by me.
I've just been on such a Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree kick lately! Addiction I think... [/QUOTE]
Same here. But I've been listening to DT's Once in a Livetime fairly often recently. I like to give Porc Tree's In Abstentia a good listening to at least once a month.
Glad to see another progger online here!
I've also been fixed on Rush's Hold Your Fire lately.

A bit like earlier Radiohead, but more folky and down-to-earth. Did a great album called Limb in 1999. New album out soon. Great songs.

hey guys,
really into oasis atm with their new album 'dont believe the truth'. Given their last few albums were bloated and relatively directionless, but they seem to have regained some of their melodic sensibilities minus the swagger.
best track IMHO to listen out to: Love Like A Bomb (written by Liam Gallagher) and Let There Be Love (their most 'Wonderwall' moment in a long time)
also, the new coldplay album is not bad but requires listening several times for it to get into your head space.
stand out tracks: square one, white shadows, fix you, low
also, fav band is ash with their album meltdown, but that came out a year ago.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
