I know people say it's their weakest album... but if it is then it's still far, far ahead of any competition.

R.E.M - Live at the Olympia... a really nice collection of old new and in between R.E.M played live before a crowd, although they claim "it's not a show" (and there's plenty of rawness / mistakes to back that up) it seems to all gel together with the sizeable crowd and it seems like the band is having a ton of fun, along with the crowd, too...

It's kinda fun to hear them speculate about future album inclusions / non inclusions, some of which made it onto Accelerate.

This is a recommended indulgence for anyone who is a fan of the band!

Violent Silence - S/T (2003)

One of the most unusual and high-driven albums I've had the pleasure of enjoying in quite awhile...and not a guitar in sight!

Basically, this album blends knotty 80's King Crimson-esque progressive rock with more contemporary/alternative vocals and production...along with the occasional post-punk touch led by bass, drums and some keyboards at the forefront of the mix. Interesting vocals add a neat element to the proceedings also, and overall I'm quite pleased by the stark originality this debut presents.

A sort of folk-pop recasting of the Orpheus myth in a sort of mirror-universe Depression-era dust-bowl type aesthetic. Features the dude from Bon Iver as Orpheus, Ani DiFranco as Persephone and Greg Brown as Hades, among others. I dunno, it's catching my attention pretty well and making me curious about the live show version (which is apparently quite the to-do).

^ I saw them live a few weeks ago. They put on a surprisingly energetic show for a band which I would never ordinarily care to listen to. Definitely worth it to catch them live if you can.

I currently like Butchered at Birth by Cannibal Corpse and The Poison by BFMV, quality albums.

Will do. It's always good to hear that about an artist because you can never tell from their music how they'll perform live.

I say this because I saw Citizen Cope live a while ago and they blew. No energy whatsoever.

The Future Sound Of London - Lifeforms


Dug out this old, dark chillout beauty for the first time in ages. To put it mildly, I fucking love this album. So very very long (it's a double album), but the production is so brilliant that it all sounds like one huge piece of music. Sheer genius in other words.
