Today's (controlled yet) screamy vocals were brought to my ipod courtesy of KCRW's Top Tune which was brought to them courtesy of the vocal chords belonging to Mikel Jollet, lead singer of The Airborne Toxic Event. There's nothing more romantic than a screamy love song, in my book. Other notable screamy vocals can be heard on Okkervil River's "Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe". A sentence fragment if I've ever. Heard one. Who's your favorite screamy vocalist or song?

Wow.. this is really good!!
-S
isn't it? I love how EMOTIVE it is!
Nice Tune! never heard of 'em until right now.
cute doggy ya got there!
here's some of that screamin' sort that sounds good.
**There's nothing more romantic than a screamy love song,.....**
Say what?
you no agree deady?
yummy! now that is some delicious scream-singing...how is it that I've never heard that pixies song?
It's probably because it's from "Come On Pilgrim" their first record.
and it had some bad distribution going on with it.
Totally not your fault..... not hearing it or the distribution part.
Ok. Really! This (**Sometime Around Midnight**) has a superficial **Conor Oberst** feel, a little **Sonic Youth** as filtered through **Interpol**, or the better side of **Yo La Tengo**. I like it but.....
I like it a lot but......there's something, something,...
I like it though. but....
The soundtrack to the vid (which I didn't watch), is less polished, careening around the melody...Musta been fun.
Dead: Now I've seen Conor Oberst mentione like eleventy bajillion times here on Mog. I gotta listen to hims. You know, I am much more critical of female vocalists than I am male vocalist...i'm gonna listen again without a romantic ear...
I have heard and love Okkervil River, this is new to me however. I am liking it quite a bit though and have jotted down the name of bands I must check out. As for my favorite screamer........that would be these guys
and gotta throw this one in as well
Rawk...these are great! I had never heard of Against Me and I love the Axl graphic! Maybe now it's time to listen to some female screamers...Courtney Love/Hole "Violet" is calling...
Against Me has to be one of, if not my favorite bands. The album is called re-inventing axl rose and it pissed of axl something fierce when he heard about it. As for female screamers, will give you one of my favs as well
Come ON! She's amazing! She started a band at 13??? Wha tha? Must go find out more...thanks Rawk!
My favorite Mikel Jollet lyrics..."You were alwayas a mess, you were always aloof, it's awful I guess but it's the awful truth"
you know, i noticed after the 2nd listen that their lyrics were awful good. he's pretty angst ridden that Mikel...(mick-el? mike-al? how to pronounce?)
Two more things......she was married to the frontman of Rancid, then she ended the marriage. This is the song he wrote about it.
and if you like the distillers, they try out these guys. They are my new favs
I'd say it's like Mee-kel...Russian like....other people's angst always makes for such great art!
Well, ya can't beat the Russian's for channeling depression into art!
Hahaha....I guess we can thank Stalin for that
okay Vagiant? I am in AWE. That song should be adopted by N.O.W as the Feminist Movement's new Anthem! Total empowerment! i love it. And that sweet guy from Rancid? He has this demented puppy dog thing going on. I hope he met someone nice. :-) Is Vagiant still based in MA?
Maybe if Anna Karenina hadn't jumped in front of that train she could have started a BAND!
