where do you find out about these bands? i've only heard of three or four of those and i don't think i've heard anything by them before.
 
Ya my bro likes them, they're pretty good from what I can tell but for some reason all I do with rock is rotate The Beatles and Pink Floyd obsessively.
 
The new Thrice is terrible, and this is coming from someone who loves them. For me Vheissu was the pinnacle, but literally nothing happens on Beggars.

Have you heard anything from the Sacred Bones label yet?
 
Well, Zola Jesus for sure. Max Elliott put a good 7". Children's Hospital is great Throbbing Gristol-eqsue stuff. Blank Dogs is what you need to listen to.

Also, check out the new Woods record.
 
my picks:

Bon Iver - Blood Bank
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Isis - Wavering Radiant

CanNOT wait for Pelican's What We All Come to Need October release.

i keep catching Titus Adronicus on Sirius XMU and really like them a lot. Ive also always dug Pan American. nice list.
 
Mono's latest is still an easy top 5 for any 2009 list I come up with on the spot so I guess that would be my fav non-metal. maudlin of the Well's newest (which isn't metal) is pretty good but hasn't endured as many listens.
