speaking of dub, I've been listening to this:
This is fantastic. World, Dub, and Electronic inspired music by some people who knew what they were doing. Takes heavy cues from electronic era Miles Davis in a good way as well.
So who's playing bass & who's running the knobs? I'd expect Laswell'd be behind the boards, but would he give up the chance to do a Bass Duet with such an interesting person?
Interesting that you brought that up. I thought laswell was sitting it out on bass as well, but I just looked at the liners and both are credited with bass. But of course Laswell mutates it all at the end with his mixing skills, I assume.
Yellow Swans - Psychic Secession
Pissed Jeans - Shallow

More people need to check out that Pissed Jeans album. Dirgey scum-rock in the vein of Scratch Acid, Killdozer, Flipper etc. Song titles include "Ashamed Of My Cum" and "Ugly Twin (I've Got)".

This is the one I'm missing from them. Unfortunately, it could be their best.
Guster - Ganging Up on the Sun
I know that Guster isn't hip in the least, but this album is pretty fantastic. At the end of the day, I'm always going to gravitate to guitar-based pop with hooks, lyrical insight and strong vocals, and this album has it all and then some. The chorus of "Satellite", the verses of "One Man Wrecking Machine", the countrified instrumental break of "The Captain", the crunchy riffage in "The New Underground" and "The Beginning of the End", the spare poignancy of "Empire State", the whole of the epic "Ruby Falls"--all great.
Corinne Bailey Rae
I like it. A nice coffee house vibe that's both folky and soulful, he says, sipping his non-fat mocha.
David Ford - I Sincerely Apologize For All of the Trouble I've Caused
Finally got this after seeing him open for Gomez and being suitably impressed. Musically varied for a singer-songwriter album, although it's definitely a politically and personally-charged and in-your-face singer-songwriter album. And yes that Parental Advisory label is every bit as large as shown. Is anybody buying this really going to be offended by some f-bombs? Sony are a bunch of fucking wimps.

I could only find Jerusalem when I was looking for it a few years back.
Of course I found it rereleased as Dopesmoker later. How different is it anyway?
From what I understand Dopesmoker is a little longer and only a single track.
Dopesmoker sounds a million times better and more powerful, too. Plus, there's a bonus track called "Sonic Titan" and the guy who introduces it has a funny "yeah, dude" tone of voice.

yeah, I'd listen to it if I had it. But in the meantime Jerusalem can suffice.
But now I'm listening to this:
haven't heard it in so long.
I might be moving to montana soon...

This is excellent, though I still prefer his work with Easyworld a bit more. There are a couple of really great recent bootlegs out there. By the way, rewind the first track on the album and see if the bonus track is there. It's on the UK version that I have, but I don't know if it made it to the US release.
I've just popped on the James Dean Bradfield record... sounds quite good.
Felt like gettin' my hippie on this rainy Monday morning...

This totally isn't bad, much better than the debut. Not saying much, but I don't regret listening to it. Unlikely to get tons of future spins though.
Unfuckwithable first half, sags horribly by the end of the disc though.
Maybe I need to give it another chance, but this was kinda boring. The Espers disc does this same kind of thing sooo much better.

Very much agreed. The one-two punch of "Maneater" and "Promiscuous" is totally great.
(^^I am totally secure listening to this because it's really fucking good^^)
Maneater and Promiscuous have been ruling my ass for a couple days.
But I've been listening to:
The Chap - Ham LIstened to and forgot about it last year... but this one's growing on me now. It might just get reinstated on the iPod.
Tod Dockstader - Aerial #1 & 2 See ambient thread. Insanely good ambient. Anyone know when #3 is coming out?
Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure I'mm falling in love with these guys. Country Music and this one are fan-fucking-tastic. "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" was on repeat for like an hour last night.
B&S - PBMtOOW Yeah, you know. These guys lyrics are realy starting to blow me away...

You know what? I finally realized who these guys sound like. The fucking Why Store! Totally, fuck... I don't think I can enjoy this album anymore.
tod dockstader -- aerial 1 and 2
can't thank helmet and moofman enough for introducing me to his soundworld.
one of my faves. I was having a bad day full of drama and this just took it all away for me.
also:
it's weird, and it's growing on me. something keeps telling me to
continue playing it. the voices remind me of the residents!
Did anybody catch Dweezil & Co. the other night? Knocked me sideways.
Can't get enough all of a sudden.
I love the version of "Ghost" on this set, great jam.
12.06.97 The Palace, Auburn Hills, MI
I've really been enthralled with the '97-'98 era Phish lately, listening to their jams evolve into something more "funky" is a treat.
I'm really thinking about starting up a Phish thread to spread some love after the holiday, but no one will care.

If you like that look for I Have Always Been Here Before: The Roky Erickson Anthology, it's all the Roky you never knew you were missing.
Moon Safari - Air
Smooth & mellow, this album's out of step with the rest of late-'90s Electronica. It's something out of time, sounding like it's from '60s French Jazz, '70s Soundtrack music, & '80s New wave all at the same time, and since when can Francophones come up with Bass Lines like that? It all flows, it's all danceable, and it's all good.

Hmmm...how much of it is overlap? (I already have all the 13th Floor Elevators albums.)

just got this in the mail. One guy from Indiana making some
wonderful ambient music with only his guitar.
I've had this for a long time, it's great. Like big band crossed with bop style soloing.

I'll be damned... didn't know that. Duane is cool - amazing guitarist too.
I just gave that song another listen. That style is not too typical for Dennison - would never have guessed that it was him. What sustain!

Been pretty much the same stuff for the past couple weeks, though the newly leaked retail mix of the Muse will amp up its playtime for sure.
The Format's disc is my favorite of the year, so far.

Since I'm probably the only one that would seriously talk about this album with you, what do you think? I'm pretty disappointed, not that I had huge expectations. But I liked the direction Chris was going with "Vindicated", that over the top bombastic pop style and I feel like this falls pretty short of that. With the time he took working on this album I was hoping for a little more development, but I guess this is Dashboard frickin' Confessional we are talking about here.
