Today, I listened to Back In Black once before school, twice during my two free periods, and once after school. GREAT GODDAMN ALBUM.
EDIT: I also listened to it last night! Greater goddamn album.
drive like jehu - yank crime
It's great to see all of the Melvins love lately!
i feel bad that the fennesz is the smallest one, it is by far the best i listened to all day.
not slaggin the other two (if they werent good i wouldnt listen), just saying fennesz is so good.
perfect for late night listenin'
downloaded this new one a looooong time ago, just kidna forgot about it.

I just listened to this on Monday. It's so ridiculously good, yet at the same time makes me very aware of how I am a whiteboy from the suburbs.
If you like organic-electro with a dash of funk try Lotus - Their Site
i am listening to the new album - it smokes!

Thanks Ted!
Man, I haven't heard this in years.
Also Sask's excellent Ozzy collection. It's like memory lane today.
This new record doesn't sound anything like "Mr. Brightside"! What the fuck???

This thing's kind of a waste isn't it? Is that shitty Steely Dan sounding song actually by them, or is my copy fucked up? Still, I absolutely love the demo of "Sugar Pill," so it's got that going for it.

Thankfully!
I love how this album just sort of took everything (good and bad) about 70's hard rock and threw it into a huge fucking blender. And I swear that "Apple Tree" is the best White Stripes song Jack White never wrote.
This is some great retro-laden doom right here, lots of lumbering riffs and heaviness.

it's worth a listen or two... i'm still not sure how i feel about it. i am only getting into their first record now as well. this is way different, more mainstream adult alternative sounding.
this, however, is very cool:

Yep and yep. I hadn't heard any of his pre-Dinosaur stuff, but he is a really good drummer too. I love the press photo for this album:
Jim O'Rourke - Eureka
Jim O'Rourke - Bad Timing
Jacques Dutronc - S/T

yeah, 2 weekends ago i think i listened to that thing like 10 times...
peppy! keep it peppy!
this cd is really fun in most cases. transformers being the only stand-out bad track, I really like it and I usually hate most of what danger mouse does. real nice. oh yeah, that cover art is fucking fantastic. awesome.
the thread reminded me...
and:
put it on your albums list!
So, when I made my list of '75-'84 Albums List contenders, I was all, "Hmm, Ride The Lightning. What should I do with Ride The Lightning? I don't really like 'Escape' and 'Call of Ktulu' is really long, so it just misses the top 50! Sorry, album. I'm sticking to round numbers here! I haven't listened to this record in a longass time, but who cares?"
I'M GLAD I LISTENED TO IT THIS MORNING BECAUSE IT FUCKING RULES. What the balls was I thinking??? I'm listening to "Creeping Death" right now, holy fuck!!!!??
EDIT: Whoa, Ackbar. Freaky coincidence. Great minds.
Whoa, was that Metallica thing really a coincidence?
Dude -- wrinkle in time -- lightning or some shit.
I just like country music these days. Alternative, traditional, fucked up, live, or otherwise.
I don't know what's wrong with me.

Ride the Lightning's going to be in my 75-84 top ten, guaranteed.
Today was a fun day. Had a couple of unbelievably great secondhand finds:
These new reissues arrived, too:
And I caved, and bought this sucker, which I'll watch tonight:

totally. i can't wait for this cd to arrive... i have never streamed 3 songs so many times in a row in my life...
Lots of mexican and Tex/Mex today....Los Super Seven, Raul Malo, Texas Tornadoes, Cafe Tacuba, Los Lobos....
you know, despite being a hardcore mountain goats fan (sunset tree being the best album of last year), this is the one album i dont really love, and so i am trying to love it right now.
earlier in the day:
just a great summer listen, an underrated gem.

Whaaa?!? That's only like, my favorite song of the year so far. Seriously. Well, maybe #2 behind Destroyer's "Painter In Your Pocket." It's close.Those are both VERY good songs.
Personally i have Clap Your Hands Say Yeah caught in my head. God, what a good album.

Kind of worried about burning it out, but I'm not sure it's possible.

Really? Coroner's Gambit is probably my favorite MG LP, along with All Hail West Texas. "Elijah" and "Family Happiness" are amazing.
Wow! This is pretty incredible. I'm not sure if it surpasses the original studio album, but it definitely has its merits. "Night Goat" and "Lizzy" are great takes... maybe even better than the originals. There's no question that they improve upon their version of the Kiss song "Goin' Blind" as well. I'm having a little trouble with the live version of "Hooch" though. It's played a little faster, and I really love the slow but potent trudge of the original.
Definitely worth checking out.
(oh yeah, and thanks a lot to SH!)
Fucking awesome.
Early 70's hard rock from a couple members (the Gurvitz brothers) of the psyche band, Gun.
Buddy Miles guests as drummer on a few tracks.
This is good stuff - if you're into garage.

This band hasn't lost any of its chops over the last ten years - how often can you say that?
