In Rainbows - Radiohead

Full of Radiohead - ish goodness and perfect for the unwinding listen that I required tonight... dunno what I am going to play next though...

Ahhhh, but of course, the ever Trusty late night listen of my collection... Ways T'Burn by the underground Lovers... perfect!

Yeah, it's a good 'un eh. I'll admit I only ever really listen to the first half of it these days, but it's worth having for 10th Avenue Freeze-Out alone.

And talking of Dad-rock...


One of many reasons why ex-Byrd Chris Hillman's easily among my favourite musicians, singers and songwriters. This is his debut as the Desert Rose Band - his project with a certain Herb Pedersen. So catchy it's almost unreal, and an album I still refuse to get bored of after about 3 or 4 months of virtually constant listening.

Love it. It was the soundtrack of my summer last year!

Raappana - Päivä On Nuori

Really great finnish reggae. Relaxing to listen and just chill.


Pg.Lost - It's Not Me, It's You

Great post-rock album. Listened to this when I took a walk yesterday. It was awesome to listen to this since it was warm and the sun was setting.

Ive been revisiting some albums in the wake of the passing of a metal legend.

The Format - Interventions + Lullabies. an old favorite

The JDs - Education

This is a new project consisting of Jack Dangers from Meat Beat Manifesto and Jon Drukman from Bass Kittens and it's pretty frickin awesome. No way a fan of MBM would be disappointed in this. I'm not familiar with BK so I don't know what influence he has brought, but apparently he's more of a digital guy where as Jack Dangers of MBM is more into analog equipment...so I guess it's a mix of the two. This is my third listen and I suppose while thinking about it, I can hear it. Nice vocal samples in the style of MBM too (only complaint is that a couple are reused from MBM songs).

I love that album!

Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains- Caught In The Act of Not Being Awesome

I'm seriously addicted to this album now.

It is addictive. You're either not in the mood or you need it NOW.

Vangelis - Blade Runner (Esper Edition)

best. score. ever.

A truer statement has never been stated, I kind of feel that way about all folk punk.

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x...plustracks.jpg

I knew there was a reason I couldn't wait for their debut... it's great! The artwork for this album is interesting too.

Generally I think folk singer/songwriters should be subject to a great scourging. Well, the pseudo following-in-Nick-Drake's-footsteps folk lite that seems to be everywhere these days like some kind of biblical pestilence.

That said I picked up The Tallest Man On Earth's recent 'Wild Hunt' album and I'm really "digging" it. Since I had no experience of this particular artist it was a nice little find. His voice may divide opinion though as it is hardly pretty but if you can get past that the quality of songwriting is very good.

this is good I like this

Battle of Mice - A Day of Nights

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

I am hopelessly addicted to this album. Julie Christmas' voice is amazing. I'd normally try to describe albums I dig myself but I don't think I can put it in better words than this:

Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Such a classic

Really? I thought that album was rather shmeh for the Hives, and I already think the Hives themselves are rather shmeh.

Favorite QOTSA album. Can't stop listening to Someone's in the Wolf, Killer Scene, and Everybody knows

Digging 'Black Gives Way to Blue' - Alice in Chains, 'For Lack of a Better Name' - Deadmau5, and 'Above' - Mad Season. So, so good..

:love:

^^^ I take it you like it too? :thumb:

Mr. Oizo - Analog Worms Attack

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

Hmm yummy excellency. You like fat crunchy beats and instrumental hip hop and house and electronic music in general you need this because it is pretty awesome.

Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O.-Does the Cosmic Shepherd Dream of Electric Tapirs?

Moderator cut: image removed

a Japenese psychadelic band that could give any number of American ones a run for their money

^Oohh I love that album.

I just love the cover. :)

Mmmmm also rather great

Deftones - "Diamond Eyes"

Favorite song on there "Sextape". Most mellow song on the CD. :)

First time I've listened to this for quite a while. Uses just about every trick in the book when it comes to having a stab at the commercial market in the early 80s so, yeah, the majority of it's pretty rubbish. 3 or 4 songs on it are among my favourites though, so it's worth having for those.

Bulldog! Been meaning to ask you for a while, best Elvis Costello album(s) to start with? He has too many and I can't pick one :(

Yeah, he's been hella prolific down the years. As it happens, I'm making a beginner's guide mix for him as I type this, but there are four albums of his I'd call wall-to-wall, 10/10 classics myself;

Get Happy
Trust
Imperial Bedroom
Spike

And plenty more perfectly good albums as well. It's probably best to work your way towards those four by getting hold of My Aim Is True, This Year's Model or Armed Forces first though, particularly regarding the bottom two (which are pretty difficult albums).

Needless to say, if you have any trouble finding any albums, just give us a shout and I'll see what I can arrange!

I knew you'd come up with the goods :D I just hope I take to him, I don't really know what his sound is. I just heard 'pub rock' not entirely sure what that means. It just reminds me of lad rock.. pub rock = drunken sing-alongs?

Get Happy, Trust, Imperial Bedroom, Spike.. Hmm decisions decisions!

Yeah, too bad I was at work when I decided to glance at this thread. Nothing is more scary than porn popping up when you don't expect it while in the workplace.

I guess his earliest stuff sounds a little bit like pub rock. Not much so though. If you wanna start with any of those four albums, I say go for Trust or Get Happy first. The other two are a bit much for the first-timer.

I'll PM you a link to get you started fairly shortly...

I went for Trust, second track in. Thanks :D but I'm listening to them on Spotify so I won't need a link, unless I decide I really like and then I'll get some of his stuff into my iTunes.

Good man :thumb:

Yeah, just let me know if you need any links for the guy eh.

edit: Forgot to say, the Delivery Man is another great album for the beginner too, so might be worth have a gander at that one too.

Envy - A Dead Sinking Story

Unbelievable & well-blended post-rock/screamo this time around.

^ Been meaning to check out some Envy for some time...

Same here, luckily no one was around.

Definitely! I love Dead Letter Circus
