Last album you bought, downloaded or listened to

No streaming or downloading crappy leaks, bought this straight off yesterday and it's decent. There are a couple of duff tracks but some absolutely blinding tracks too and those tracks (Interlude and Providence) give me hope still for British Guitar music.

Vitalic—Flashmob
I've loved his first album, OK Cowboy for ages but finally just got around to the second one. It's pretty solid, dancy electronica, though kind of a departure from his first album. If the first one was the soundtrack to a fast urban car ride, this one is the soundtrack to dirty, dirty sex. Not a bad thing.

Here's the title track, the real standout to me at the moment:

You Ain't Talkin' to Me: Charlie Poole and the Roots of Country Music

I downloaded this some time ago. The three CD box-set includes the sides which Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers made for Columbia between 1925 and 1931. In addition to Poole's original recordings, the package features performances by other early roots music players and singers. I recommend getting this if you are into old time/country/string band stuff.

Blind Mr. Jones - Stereo Musicale

Apparently this is an awesome shoegaze album. First track is pretty good.

Some of these bands you display I've NEVER heard of in my life. And then I listen to them, and I give props to you, cause some of them are kickass.

But I don't tell you enough.

I actually expected more of that album based on the description I received of it. I think it was a great idea they kind of squandered.

Seely - Julie Only

One of those "noise pop" albums that come under about 100 categories... but the main one being "good music".

Contortion Horse - S/T

unfortunately short ep.....but very reminiscent of early Sub Pop/AmRep type bands form the 90s....very much like a noisier Hammerhead....which is really saying a lot....there is a track called "There's A Dead Hermaphrodite In The Refrigerator In My Backyard"....you should get on that alone

Ex Wives - Fucking Dutch
and

Ex Wives - A Collection of Shit

there is no way around it....these sound like some long lost Shellac EPs....but a little more sloppy....but still with that amazing guitar work and wonderful lyrics full of wholesome American family values....not a bad thing at all....actually it's quite good

Shoppers - Silver Year

kind of if all of those wonderful freak out noisy interludes in every Sonic Youth song got together and started a female fronted punk band....then got drunk and crashed a My Bloody Valentine reunion show

Neptune - Gong Lake

suggested to me with very good reason....kind of a version of early Liars without trying to sound cool and dancey....kind of mean and very abstract noise rock.....but very much like that first Liars album....which is very good

Greys - Easy Listening
and

Greys - Drift

really good noisy post hardcore punk rock type stuff from Toronto....if these kids ever got any kind of exposure....they would probably be talked about all over the place....check them out before they do
