Half Japanese - Sing No Evil
http://www.dragcity.com/catalog/records/dc173rv.jpg

Sign No Evil is a brilliant mix of free-form jazz, punk rhythm, and Jad Fair's distinct yelp-singing which all melds together to create a jarring and distinct indie rock record. This record feels like it shouldn't work, but it does - Jad Fair's snotty screaming is in stark contrast to the complex horn rhythms, and all the disjointed noise somehow comes together to create catchy hooks and melodies.

It's brilliant.

Hasn't exactly been a week but oh well.

Vendetta Red "Sisters Of The Red Death" - Its one of the best pop-punk albums i've ever heard. The lyrics are kind of morbid and put with their upbeat style its kind of an awkard combination, but they pull it off. I'm liking the album quite a bit.

Vismund Cygnus 03-23-2006 03:17 PM

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon

Thinking Fellers Union Local #282 - Strangers From The Universe
http://www.tful282.com/images/strangers.gif

I have been attempting to get someone to listen to this band, and hopefully discover the brilliance to which I have become quite obsessed. Anyone with even a fleeting interest in indie or whatever hybrid fusion of punk and art rock this album resembles will find something to enjoy in this album. From delicate lo-fi beauty to strange upbeat songs about tortoises, this album is simply put, amazing. So click on the title and download it. Now.

Urban Hat€monger ? 03-25-2006 07:32 PM

Lo-fi ?
Art rock?
Strange songs about tortoises?

I`m in :)

cardboard adolescent 04-02-2006 11:28 AM

Okay, so I don't know if anybody bothered to download Strangers From The Universe, or listen to it, but I'm not going to give up.

Rodan - Rusty

http://www.southern.com/southern/ban...ics/18974L.jpg

Rodan basically expands on the blueprint Slint laid out on Spiderland - the same loud/soft dynamic, angular rhythms, half-spoken vocals, but they do add more complex melodies and actual singing. Basically, if you love Slint, you'll love this, and if you thought Spiderland was ok but was missing something, then this is worth checking out. If, on the other hand, you absolutely hated it, you probably just want to stay away.

I bothered with getting it. And I'll agree to it that it is a good album. A very good blend, and the turtle song (the name escapes me right now and I don't want to be bothered digging for it) is funny. Good album, I'll check this one out too.

THIS HEAT - DECEIT

http://gullbuy.com/buy/2002/2_5/imag...Deceit_png.jpg

One of the most widely overlooked and influential bands of all time, This Heat were a British quintet who formed somewhere around 1978. Deceit, their second album, was recorded in an abandoned meat locker somewhere, and is one of the greatest albums to come out of the post-punk era. Falling somewhere in between the abrasive guitar experimentation of noise rock, the angular melodies of post-punk, and the hypnotic rhythms of Kraut rock, This Heat explored vast musical territories which were often not explored again for at least a decade. Some of the songs are just random recordings mixed togethers, others are bizarre sound collages, and once in a while you might get a song with a driving rhythm, melody, and Charles Hayward's bizarre sing/speech.

Wire, Pere Ubu, Gang of Four, and Can fans should enjoy this. Why this album isn't instantly recognized as one of the greatest albums to come out of the 80's is a mystery.

Spill Canvas "Sunsets and Car Crashes"

Tracklist:
1. Aim Snap Fall
2. Caterpillars
3. The Tide
4. Your Evil Soul
5. Bracelets
6. The Night Will Go As Follows
7. All Hail The Heartbreaker
8. So Much
9. 3685
10. Black Dresses
11. Under The Covers
12. Sunsets And Car Crashes

Its a really good acoustic pop album, the lyrics can be a tad cliche' but its pulled off very well. The opening track is kind of weak, and some of the songs are also a weak. But when the songs begin to pick up, they're very good.

Recommended tracks: All Hail The Heartbreaker, So Much, Sunsets and Car Crashes, Under The Covers, Black Dresses, The Night Will Go As Follows

The Shins - Oh inverted world

i have to say, i downloaded this album after they were continuously mentioned here and on last.fm,and on the first couple of listens it didn't seem all that special, but now i can't get enough of it. it's so harmonious and cathy, and has that amazing " californian sun" quality. it's quite beautiful and i suspect i shall have it on a continuous loop this summer....an exellent summer album i would say....
