I LOVE Meg & Dia. I'm getting their album for Christmas but I downloaded most of the songs & some from their previous album & i'm obsessed too.

I found them on myspace before they got big a long time ago cuz they came to my town but i never found out where they were playing so i missed them.

you should check out the songs from our home is gone, thats my fav. album.

Just got their album the other day & love it. The only songs I haven't heard were Rebecca & Getaways Turned Holidays & holy crap the song Rebecca is amazing. It's the only piano driven song on there, so that's by far my fav. besides Indiana.

Also, I saw their music video for Monster on mtv after a show, I thought that was kinda cool since their an independent band.

I cannot wait for their new album!
Have you guys heard 'Halloween' yet? I think it's featuring on a compilation CD and they also posted a myspace video of them playing it acoustic in their bathroom, lol.

I'm kind of obsessed with 'Hug Me til You Drug Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC_TNVI67jI)' at the moment :D

Pretty good. Reminds me of a mix of Flyleaf & Eisley (the song Monster). Not to say they are ripping anyone off but wow it REALLY sounds like a mix of those 2 bands to me. I like it.

Aaah I wish I had the money to pre-order right now...I got the email from them and was really excited. Yay for a concrete release date!

Really digging the songs I've heard so far, though ^^

the pre-order comes with a download, too :] "agree to disagree (garageband demo)". i've been listening to it nonstop lately; it sounds so melancholy acoustic and without the full band.

OH.

also. "here, here and here" the song sounds awesome in the trailer!

You can preview the entire album on myspace today (it comes out on Tuesday)!!

Also check out their latest blog, "The Story of 'Here, here, and here' - By Dia".  It's long, but worth the read!

Lucky people!  My brother pre-ordered my copy for my birthday, so I don't know when mine will come.  Definitely not today, though.  Oh well!  As long as I get it by Tuesday, I'll be happy.

my top 3
1. here, here and here
2. fighting for nothing
3. one sail (this spot was really hard to decide. but the wind sounds and dia yelling "think about sinking down/think about all of it" really darkly stole my heart)

also incredibly awesome!

5. the last great star in hollywood (LOL meg's british accent)
6. what if
7. hug me

love these tooo
8. are there giants, too, in the dance
9. inside my head

Post by: PianoGirl4444 on April 27, 2009, 07:57:49 pm
Oh, is that really Meg doing the British accent in The Last Great Star...?  I just assumed it was Dia, since she does almost all of the singing.  They sound more and more alike all the time!
Title: Re: Meg & Dia
Post by: feishien on May 03, 2009, 04:10:24 pm
^ Yeah, it's Dia...there was a video of them practicing the song, and Dia was doing vocals so...

I'd do that top 3/incredibly awesome/love too/least fave, but I realise that I pretty much love all the songs at this point, and couldn't group them like that. :P

Gahhh I wish I could see them live, but alas, I am trapped here in Australia. *pouts*
Title: Re: Meg & Dia
Post by: cassiemoy on May 03, 2009, 04:38:32 pm
no, it's meg singing. i was on the MaD boards and it was confirmed by mike (their manager) :] dia does sing in it, but the britishy parts are meg

Meg & Dia is one of my favorite bands. I recommend listening to the song 'Separate' from their new album, Cocoon. Although it may be very different from Vanessa's music, I like that song for similar reasons I like hers.
Title: Re: Meg & Dia
Post by: cassiemoy on June 12, 2011, 07:34:28 pm
for some reason i'm not too into cocoon, though i thought i would be. i loved here, here, & here and eventually learned to love it's always stormy in tillamook but for some reason... not their latest work. which is odd, because it's much closer to the music i generally listen to (i usually lean folky) than here, here, and here.
