Most of the rest is quite annoying. I don't enjoy Coldplay, and the screaming "LOOK HOW IRONIC THIS SONG IS! HAHAHHAHA!" made me dislike its inclusion even more.
I've been listening to a lot of Fiery Furnaces lately, since I saw them in concert on friday. I'm seeing the Black Keys in 2 weeks with a new album, and Interpol in 4 weeks with a new album, so I'll be getting into them quite a bit coming up.
And, although at first I was hesitant about liking the fact that Modest Mouse, one of the most consistent and incredible indie bands of the last 10 or so years had popular success, now I'm thrilled. Good News may be their most lacking in excellence album to date, but it's still great. And I'll take it over Yellowcard, any day.
A lot of my friends are trying to get me into jam bands. I don't particularily enjoy them. Meh.
And I'd like to say that the Fiery Furnaces are the best live band I've seen. If they come anywhere near you, see them. You won't be disappointed.
