Milk posbang?

Submitted by 1464 on

2 things:

I understand the concept of a posbang thread, but what exactly is a 'posbang'?  Is it some mixed acronym type thing? 

Second, I bought milk today that expires three days after the Alabama game.  I believe this now counts as football season...

I got so excited that I drank the whole carton.

I don't find that one so weird. At least as food goes.  I can see most meats, but a lot veggies and other ground fair (mushrooms are good...if they're not the kind that kill you), or spices (which ground up are good...which aren't), and food that has to basically spoil to be "good" are rank higher. I mean, who sat there and decided "salt tastes good...sand, not so much."

Milk...it all probably came about when prehistoric Kate Upton said to her husband "no, that's for the BABY!"

It really depends with my indie music taste.  I go through streaks where certain bands stick out more than others.  As of late I've been on a bit of a Vampire Weekend (not terribly underground indie, but indie) roll, but I also listen to a lot of Noah and the Whale, I'm a big big Bon Iver fan as well as a huge Frightened Rabbit fan.  Sufjan Stevens is always good.  Bombay Bicycle Club has a bunch of good songs too.  I like the more well known indie bands too like Mumford and Sons and Of Monsters and Men.

Some other good ones off the top of my head:

  • Guster
  • Broken Bells
  • Joshua Radin
  • Pheonix
  • The Shins
  • Tally Hall
  • Explosions in the Sky

Edit: One more Rap/Rock group for you to check out: Blakroc.  It's actually a combo of The Black Keys and various rappers.  Awesome Blues Rock Rap ensues.

two year anniversary last night, too much champagne I guess, or I would ask her about your picks and some better insight on hers. The ones I know she's into are: Manchester Orchestra, Arctic Monkeys, Cage the Elephant, Bright Eyes, The Decemberists, Iron & Wine, Mumforf & Sons, Something Corporate, Vampire Weekend, probably others I'm forgetting.

IMO, Manchester Orchestra has one amazing song (Simple Math) and the rest are a bit "meh", Arctic Monkeys and Cage the Elephant have a lot of good quality stuff with a couple or few greatish songs, and I'm not too knowledgeable about the rest of them, or at least I don't think I am late at night with some booze in me.

Also, on long car trips, I like when she plays one of Lily Allen's albums, It's Not Me, It's You, which is a lot more popular overseas than I would have imagined. Pleasant listening the whole way through (a woman's voice is probably easier on a headache, which would explain it) and the song "Fuck You" echoes a lot of feelings I have on the world.

I opened this thread having no idea what it could possibly be about. I'm still a little confused.
