The Work - Slow Crimes (1982)

I heard this album once last year and totally forgot I had it. Not because it's forgettable, more cause I'm forgetful. This is some strange, schizophrenic blend of post-punk goodness and ...hm, avant-prog, rock in opposition. Well, it was founded by Tim Hodgkinson from Henry Cow and...the other guy. For those who like post-punk more experimental, this should be fun.

It looks like I can't find individual songs from this album on youtube, but look, there's the whole album (My favorite track is "Pop")

Spoiler for slow crimes:

Oh, how come direct links now translate immediately to embedded videos? When did that happen?

Me too, as well as Ebbhead and Showtime. Belief has some gems though.

Prong - Rude Awakening

This is such a good album! I heard bits and pieces through Pandora and decided to download it. Glad I did!

Swans - Not Here/Not Now

so once again the boys in Swans have released a limited handmade live/demo album to help produce their new untitled album with 7 buying options raging from $40-$500....i went with option 4....so for $100 i get a copy of this album, a copy of the new untitled album in my mailbox before the street date, and forever as long as said album is in print my name will be credited as "executive producer" for a mere $100....can you guess what everyone i know is getting for Easter, Birthdays, Mothers day etc etc etc?

I could only afford the 40 dollar option, I is poor and 40 dollars is a lot of money for me.

The last album I bought was 'Yeezus'. I know a lot of people didn't like it but there are a couple of good songs on there. I'll probably pick up something new in the next week or so.

I finally bothered to get an invite for What.CD via an interview, so I got these albums earlier this evening:

Blue Sky Black Death - Glaciers

This is a pretty damn good downtempo album, although I'm going to give it a few more listens later this week.

Hijokaidan - Hatsune Kaidan

I'll just say it right now: the only reason that I got this is because I personally find the fact that this exists to be hilarious. It's a Japanese noise album with Hatsune Miku's (a program that creates a synthesized voice that's usually used for J-Pop tracks) vocals thrown in. My expectations aren't really that high, but this should certainly be an interesting listen.

Knxwledge - Kauliflowr
It's about time that Knxlwedge released a new LP. Out of everything that I got that I haven't listened to yet, this is probably the album I'm looking forward to the most.

Masafumi Takada - Dangan Ronpa Original Soundtrack
This is currently one of my favorite video game soundtracks, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get this.

The Prize Fighter Inferno - Half Measures EP
Anyone who knows me pretty well probably knows that I am a massive fan of Coheed and Cambria, so it was probably inevitable that I'd check out Claudio's side projects.

LaikIke1/Młodzik - Milczmen Screamdustry

Polish rap album that I kind of enjoy a lot. Slightly boring in parts though. Not sure if it is a duo (as their title suggests) or just a single artist.

Placed my order for this today. Pretty excited!

Edit: Okay, two orders today

William Shatner - Seeking Major Tom (2011)

The third studio album by William Shatner, featuring an all-star cast of musicians playing a variety of covers and a couple of songs written by Peter Schilling, William Shatner & Adam Hamilton.
The covers of "Spirit in the Sky," "Silver Machine," and "Bohemian Rhapsody" are the highlights for me. Shatner's cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" in particular, is a must-listen (IMO.)
