THE COOPER TEMPLE CLAUSE - MAKE THIS YOUR OWN (2007)
I had this when it was released. Actually I had the pre release copy but it seems to have been lost. By far the worst of their 3 records but i enjoy a spin every now and then.

AMY WINEHOUSE - FRANK (2003)
Horrible woman but I like her voice. I enjoyed this album today.

AMY WINEHOUSE - BACK TO BLACK (2006)
Haven't listened to this one yet.

The Fiery Furances - EP

So how does one follow up something as... unique as Blueberry Boat? By releasing a series of more accessible B-sides to prove to their audience that they're not as "special" as they'd like you to believe.

I've always kinda wanted to hear some Fiery Furnaces, but somehow never took the initiative to download or buy any of their stuff... are they worth it or should I just go on being lazy?

Well their 2nd album, Blueberry Boat is a pretty polarized album. To some it's the equivalent of a cum soaked sandwich and to others it gently massages their balls (or clits) while cooing sympathetic and supporting words in their ears. It's hard to tell where you stand as I don't know much about your musical tastes, but if you're into experimental music in any way, shape, or form, then it does certainly warrant a download. Be warned though... it's REALLY odd... Great at some parts and then you just want it to end but it never does...

Thanks for the heads up.... experimental is great to these ears so it may well be worth a look...

Here's the kicker, NME gave it a 1/10 and Pitchfork gave it a 9.6/10 so all the hipster kids were really confused on what to do. I mean arguably the two biggest mediums for indie music that have a cult of worshipers who would gladly murder their entire family if it meant a jam session with Stephen Malkmus, are disagreeing with each other. What ever is a hipster to do?

SONNE HAGAL - Jordansfrost cd

Have not had a chance to listen to this one just yet.

Judas Priest - Jugulator (1997)

Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny (1976)

These albums create an interesting contrast to one and other. While Jugulator was never really liked much by the press, it was the 2nd Priest album I ever got and "Cathedral Spires" is a f*cking wicked song.

Badfinger - Straight Up

Beautiful cover, eh? Re-downloaded this because the last download I had from last year was glitchy so I trashed it.
