Nice. You have any opinion on Julian Cope's solo work? Been meaning to check it out.

The first two - World Shut Your Mouth and Fried - I recommend highly. Start there. The Scott Walker influence is strong, and there's still the Teardrops sound. After that, he went through a "pop" period that hasn't aged well. Beyond that, records like Peggy Suicide and 20 Mothers are fan favorites, but those records are hit or miss to me. Things get really proggy in his recent work (you like Hawkwind? it helps)...

Just got this - it's minty. I can now retire my trashed '72 copy. (I've never heard a CD version of this album that sounded right.)

really digging this...

Beta Evers -- Transient

Forthcoming 'Black sheep' lp reportedly marks a return to the strummy psych-folk of the first two (recommendation heartily seconded btw).

i will when i have some free time

This is a very pleasant way to come down off a hectic weekend

I'm going to see Califone tomorrow at the Walker's free concert, it's a pretty lucky deal.

Loving that hllyh album. Run to Your Grave is one of my tracks of the year, great stuff.

excellent first post.

Just inspired from the thread...

This is one of those albums that I've listened to way too much to enjoy anymore. Although it's touted as the "Best Jazz Album Ever".I don't think I agree. I tend to think that most people that hold that opinion don't own too many jazz records.

The DB's-Like This( I couldn't find a decent sized image of this):
I bought this on the strength of "Amplifier". It's not a bad album though and has quite a few enjoyable songs on it(New Gun In Town,Spitting Into The Wind,Spy In The House Of Love). Overall it's not one of my favorites,but it has enough good stuff on it to listen to again. Plus "Amplifier" is an amazing song.



I think this is quite overrated. Honestly there's only so much jamming I could listen to and there is too much here(Including a nine minute song that overstays it's welcome quite a bit.). Layla and Bell Bottom Blues are classics and I will give the album that(Also, "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad" is a good tune). But there is alot of generic blues playing on here and there is no reason for this to be a double album(What I've come to learn about double albums is that they usually mean that there is going to be a heck of a lot of filler.).This could have easily have been a single album and be much more tolerable.

I find it enjoyable to listen to radio stations in the path of hurricanes (or almost hurricanes, in Fay's case).
So, now listening to:

US 1 Radio

More impressive so far than Here from earlier this year.

R.E.M. - Out of Time
Still sounds good after all these years. An underrated release imo. Automatic gets all the praise, but this is a solid album. Plus you can beat "Texarkana"

Suffer Age has got to be one of the best metal tracks I've ever heard. Album is kind of long but gets better and better towards the end.

is that a new one?

Got their EP a few days ago so I'm listening to this once again. The package is quite...

No, its his debut from 04.

Attempting to purge my grubby soul....



not working but it’s a reassuring deceit


This isn't on the disc but it's a personal favourite:

I wish that album was as good as the cover. I kinda dig it though, in the right mood. It's a really really quiet slow moving affair, however.

the cover is the best I've seen in years though. WOW!

Thirty years ago this month. Big bootleg because it was broadcast live regionally. Small club show in celebration of WMMS 10th anniversary and Bruce owned the town. My copy has Twist and Shout which wasn't broadcast over the air. Band came on well after they turned on the house lights for one more song.
Turn it up loud!

Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, The Replacements (deluxe)

How is this, Rob? I've been debating whether or not to expend the effort to check it out. Loved Rabbit Fur Coat.

^...yeah RFC was my number 1 of '06. It's fine enough but haven;t had it sink in yet one way or another.

On another genre all together

YESSSSSSSSSS!! This is way better than I was even expecting it to be! Best surprise all year..so great.

I've had this for months and still can't really wrap my head around it..

Still undoubtedly the best grindcore (or death metal) album I've ever heard.

Notice new things every time I listen..

A bit disappointed by this..

too fucking good

Mayhem - Live In Leipzig -- this is ridiculously brutal. way heavier than both the Deathcrush EP and Des Mysteriis Dom Sathanas..

Small picture.. Emergency Room LP, sort of like a No New York for Vancouver (except current)... excellent stuff

<3

This was better than I expected. I also don't get why some regard this as their sellout record. For crying out loud it has a song that mocks the video making scene("Money For Nothing" which by the way is a great song.). Some really neat stuff here(Like "Your Latest Trick" and "Why Worry")and although it's laid back it's an enjoyable laid back.A decent album.



I like McDonald's voice and all,But this album is horrible. About two and a half good songs(Minute By Minute,What A Fool Believes and ,depending on my mood, "Will The Fools Survive")and everything else is crap.



I liked about half of this. Considering I only paid a buck for it I can't say I've wasted my money.

Skream

Probably the most undo album of 2008, but there are days that I just don't feel like listening to it at all.


About to play for the first time. Takk bored me to tears for the first dozen plays or so, though I've finally come around to it now and enjoy it very much. But I simply cannot afford this one the same grace. I want instant gratification. They really have to "wow" me this time if they don't want to lose my support, so to speak.

I have that Crystal Castles album on my computer.

Do you say that because it is electronic and video gamey?

Something about it prevents me from listening. Maybe because I've seen pictures of the people who made it.



MONTANA TO THREAD LOL

Motorhead - Motorizer / Dirtbombs - If You Don't Already Have a Look / Buffalo Killers - Let It Ride

Let it Ride

I think this is the only thread I will post in ever since the demise of my late great David Banner thread. Pricks.





V/A: Bippp: French Synth Wave 1979-85
Polvo: Today's Active Lifestyles
Om: Pilgrimage
Wedding Present: Seamonsters
Mohinder: Discography
Cerrone: Supernature

This is way better than I expected.. and miles beyond Welcome To Hell. Buried Alive, holy shit. This is actually good where the previous album was just kind of pathetic and unintentionally funny.

fuck you, jon.

post again to advance the page where Jon puts porn and annoying audio.

and again

and again

damn...let's try again
