Sigur Rós does all the things for me. I also think Valtari and Kveikur are great.

I was considering putting Radiohead on my list, but they are playing Seattle soon and I didn't try to get tickets so it wouldn't have been honest.

And I just recently remembered I saw them in 1997.

NMH is great. I saw them live a few years ago and it was a killer show.

:bammer: They are the sixth band I most want to see live, after Fugazi, Fugazi, Fugazi, Fugazi, and Fugazi. What're your favorite Tortoise records? Least favorite?
Well, my friend gave me a copy of Seneca years ago, and that is the album that got me into the band, so that always has a special place in my heart. But I also really love:

Tortoise
Standards
It's All Around You
Wow, I almost never want to hear S/T these days. But those other two records are excellent. I'd say TNT is my favorite, with It's All Around You being my second favorite. That album is just epic.
I'm surprised you've never gotten to see Tortoise, Trag. I caught them in Buffalo in 2009, at the beginning of the Beacons of Ancestorship tour. A bunch of new material was played, so they weren't super tight, but were by no means sloppy, either. The only disappointment, for me, was not getting "I Set My Face to the Hillside" on the set.

Also, I'm curious, was the S/T album your first exposure to the band? For me, it was one of the last I heard prior to Beacons being released (I got into them around 2006 or so). I didn't really get it at first, but it's been better and better as time passes. TNT will always be my favorite, followed closely by Standards and Millions Now Living Will Never Die.

Burt beat me to it.

Don't worry, I'm sure everyone subconsciously registered you saying it in advance of Burt's post.

Neil Young
Bruce Springsteen
Bill Frisell
Vijay Iyer
Calexico
Seeing Frisell next Friday.

I'm more than a little envious!
