Blockhead is awesome, and his latest is great. I like it better than the previous, Uncle Tony's Coloring Book.

The Black Dog - Radio Scarecrow

Played this earlier today for only the second time, and damn is it good. The Black Dog is a UK electronic group formed in 1989 by Ken Downie, Ed Handley and Andy Turner...Handley and Turner having left in 1995 to focus on their other project, Plaid (one of my favorite electronic groups). I never paid much attention to The Black Dog until recently. Apparently Ken Downie isn't working alone and teamed up with some other dudes (Richard and Martin Dust...not to be confused with The Dust Brothers) around 2001 for all material released since. This is the 3rd album I've checked out from the entire discography and easily the most interesting so far (better than the early material that included Ed Handley and Andy Turner...partly due, I'm sure, to that stuff being dated and this being a 2008 release).

^ You, sir, are in for a damn cool couple of albums there. This Nation's Saving Grace particularly - some of the best all-round band performances I've ever heard on record myself on that album.

On something of a Fall kick.I''ve had it for 18 hours and already listened to it 3 times.Masterpiece.

They might not be very original but when you can write songs as good as these it doesn't matter one bit. A really great album full of memorable tunes.

I'm really getting into Polvo lately. This album has some genius arrangements, plenty of killer riffs and outstanding musicianship. Excellent.

Wake Up and Smell the Carcass - This great Carcass starter cd is a cleverly structured backward anthology of rarities and outtakes from the band's recording history. Unlike most comps., this one gets better and better as it nears the end, beginning with the more recent and very accessible Carcass style "rot and roll" where Bill Steer plays guitar hero, and culminates with their legendary and innovative grindcore days.
