Harvey Mandel - The Snake (1972)

Top-notch instrumental blues based rock with some jazz leanings from guitarist Harvey Mandel, one of the first rock guitarists to use two-handed fretboard tapping.
He played with Canned Heat, Charlie Musselwhite, John Mayall, before going into a solo career. When Mick Taylor left The Rolling Stones, Mandel was auditioned as his replacement. He didn't get the job, but he did record two tracks with the Stones for their 1976 album Black and Blue, "Hot Stuff" and "Memory Motel."

Just a couple new pickups for the next few days.

Tacocat - NVM

Looking forward to hearing this one, I expect it to be as bubblegum as the album artwork, but still witty and great.

Nai Harvest - Hold Open My Head

Apparently it's pretty popular to take influence from the 90s grunge and emo bands again. I like these guys though, cool British emo.

Cloud Nothings - Here and Nowhere Else

I was a big fan of Attack On Memory so I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

Dub Housing - Pere Ubu

Great use of vocals and groovy, loopy sounds. Speaks for itself.

A Sucked Orange - Nurse With Wound

I don't think I've come across an experimental album with over 20 short tracks that chops and changes randomly as this does. I really don't know what to make of it, it seems messy, but that's part of the appeal in a way. Not as good as Homotopy To Marie but erm.. yeah. Weird is still good.

...?

Alt-J - An Awesome Wave

I just love this album. I could listen to the tracks a million times

Imagine Dragons album - it is really good. I wasn't expecting much from it but I am pleasantly surprised!

Chango - Chango (1975)

Latin jazz/rock heavily influenced by late 60's/early 70's Santana. A solid album from beginning to end, worth a listen for fans of the genre and/or anyone who enjoys that classic Santana sound.
