Maybe I'll give it a go eventually but I'm a shit writer so it'll be a piece of shit journal, no question about that.

Deerhoof: runners four

i found this band by accident in my friends ipod and at first i didn't like them much because i thought they were just trying to be avant garde and that's it..

i didn't quite get their vibe right away it took my awhile to get it but their guitars and song structures were so creative that i still liked listening to them even if i felt their music was way above my head at the time lol

Slowly but surely i started to get them and then that was it.. i became a total deerhoof suck up..

i remember the first song that really got me into them was this one

Deerhoof - Spirit Ditties of No Tone - YouTube

They really have broaden my horizons musically and they still do, they have influenced how i play guitar and how i want to play guitar and just how creativity is not dead in music yet.

Thank you Deerhoof for existing <3

My favorite album to this day and nothing will beat it. I don't even really know why it mesmerized me so much, as I can't really identify with it on a personal level. I think I just love studying human emotions so much and this album oozes more emotion than most band's can ever hope to in an entire discography. It's truly a beautiful, hypnotic work of art, and the music itself is quite good too.

Neon Bible - Arcade Fire

My personal favorite record. I've enjoyed everything Arcade Fire has put out, but Neon Bible has touched me on a very spiritual and emotional level that no other record has ever done. Something about each track (except Black Waves/Bad Vibrations) puts me into a whole different level of mindset that's very blissful, yet this is a very sad album.

IMO the greatest live album ever made in the sense that it sounds for all the world like a STUDIO album, and AFAIK is the only rock/pop recording that was ever mixed BEFORE it was recorded directly to the two-track stero that's on the album without a single overdub. I just posted the full review here:

Good taste Paul. That is one hell of a great album. Joe Jackson is a songwriter on a different level.

Catherine Wheel - Chrome (1993)

I am not a great writer, and can't go on for a while without getting bored and just deleting the whole thing so I will just say that this album is an emotional spectrum, with fantastic stand alone tracks and brilliant musicianship. It WILL invade your soul if you allow it to.
