Thanks, Burzum and all those who participated in the Can thread.
I've got an insane amount of German music to listen to.

It's not bad, just different. Very 70's...
Currently, as I said in another thread, the most important album of my life.
Hyperbole. Sometimes I can't avoid it.

what do you think of him? I love his songwriting and arrangements, but at the same time he has quite an element of kitsch to him that acts as a barrier for me...

I've always been a fan of Vee Vee and Icky Mettle but I had never heard ATNA. First listen it didn't really grab me. Maybe it's a grower?
Rock.

Rock.
i'm listening to the mix i'm making for slackmo. it's gonna be good. hope he's ready.
That Austin City Limits blues CD is one of the best I own - great, great blues stuff on it.
The 12" 80's one is a lot of fun - The Cure, Human League, Japan, Visage, Simple Minds etc

If you haven't discovered the delights of Tuung yet and their strange world then this is a very pretty place to start, like all their releases utmost care is taken over the look of the records thi s one is etched on one side in an old fashioned scored kind of way. Like all their releases this mixes glitchy electronics and Bert Janch, Nick Drake style folk with natural ease. This is a cover version of Bloc Parties best song 'The Pioneers'.

I could see that. I really like him though. He was an eccentric performing his work in his own bubble, almost unaware of what was going on in the music scene. Kind of an acquired taste, but well worth taking the time for.
I'll post some YSIs when I get a chance.
First, finishing off my Can extravaganza started yesterday:
Then on to:
Then on to:
Motorhead - Ace Of Spades
Ufomammut - Snailking
Burst - Origo
Liars - Drum's Not Dead
Burzum = Beaches & Canyons, then?
Dakar & Grinser: Are You Really Satisfied Now
The Misfits: Legacy of Brutality
Geraldine Fibbers: Butch
The Motors: Airport - The Greatest Hits
Nina Nastasia: Run to Ruin
Swervedriver: Mezcal Head
The Wrens - Meadowlands I'm honestly beginning to think that this may be the best album of the 00's. Everytime I listen to it, I just get more and more amazed at the perfectly conrolled reckless beauty of each song, the magnificiently timed crescendoes, the subtle harmonies...
Charles Mingus - Mingus, Minugs, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus
The Notwist - Shrink

I may not have given it enough of a chance, but it didn't grab me like "That Much Further West".

I too question if I've given it enough of a chance! I listened to it a month or so back and was really disappointed. I popped it in again last night and while it sounded a little better, there still wasn't anything that struck me quite like their past couple of albums. We'll give it another shot sometime soon.
Maybe the best album of the 00s.
wilderness - vessel states (tried using an image, but it is just to huge)
i've come to the conclusion that Destroyer is possibly my favorite songwriter of the decade so far.
The Ark - State of the Ark
Interesting...

Sparks - Kimino My House
Getting prepared for the new one.
I'm glad I've had this album for nearly two months, cos this sucker has grown on me in a huge way. Almost flawless..."Scream" being the lone exception.
franz ferdinand - you could have it so much better.
i found the lp at tower last night for $10. they're having a pretty good vinyl sale, for anyone interested.
arab strap - the last romance (import) i don't even care that it cost $25. i love it.
emiliana torrini - fisherman's woman
and a mix cd.

Then hopefully you won't mind that this is coming out domestically on February 21.
I decided to wait for this one, seeing as I bought Malcolm Middleton's last album on import only to have it come out domestically a few months later. The wait was a bit longer for Arab Strap, but being overwhelmed with other music, I can't say that I was pining for it.
The relreleased is fabulous. The alternate version of "Life Druing Wartime" and "Cities" I think are capital.
Not as shitty as I thought it was for some time. New disc is coming soon, apparently. Looking forward to it.
and then we have....
I've been on a big kick lately for some reason. But yea, Elliott man, good stuff. Very good stuff. Oh, and add the "Basement on a Hill Demos" to that as well.

I have trouble imagining how such a dark, brooding disc would be appropriate for the light and mellow mood of a cocktail lounge.

This may be a cultural difference as to what a cocktail lounge is... I wasn't using it as an insult, just a qualifer. I think it's a great album, but only in a certain context.
I was specifically thinking of places like Vespa Lounge and Tupelo in Wellington, where that style of dark, brooding music, amongst other things, is predominant around 4am in the morning. Next time you're in town I'll take you there and you'll see what I mean.

Oh, ok. I suppose every album's greatness is relative to context.
I've only been to Auckland. How different is Wellington?

Overhyped? yes. But they are still pretty good.
