Each to their own eh.

You're right about Nocturama, it has a couple of really good songs on it but otherwise it's a pretty lame album - somehow manages to be overlong and rushed at the same time.

well i was looking over some of the beginners comps that i submitted and realized that probably not many people checked them out because of the large number of songs i submitted. so, i decided to revamp a few with less songs and switch/omit a few from previously into a new collection.

so i'll start with

The Beginner's Guide To Clutch

This Maryland based group has been in the music business since they hit the DC hardcore scene in 1990. an astounding 20 years and 19 releases later, they have cultivated a strong cult following for their brand of bluesy rock, which also takes elements of metal, punk, stoner rock, funk and mixing them together with Zeppelinesque mysticism and lyrics that can range from stories of mythology and history to twisted and cryptic tales and adventures.

if you've been wondering why i love this group so much, take a listen to this collection.

American Sleep~Pure Rock Fury
Mercury~Blast Tyrant
The Elephant Riders~The Elephant Riders
Rock N Roll Outlaw~Clutch
Gullah~Robot Hive/Exodus
Juggernaut~Pitchfork and Lost Needles
12 Ounce Epilogue~Transnational Speedway League:Anthems, Anecdotes and Undeniable Truths
Careful With The Mic... ~Pure Rock Fury
White's Ferry~From Beale Street To Oblivion
Worm Drink~Blast Tyrant
Willie Nelson~Slow Hole To China
Basket of Eggs~Jam Room
Droid~Clutch
Release the Kraken~Jam Room
Spacegrass [Live]~Pure Rock Fury
Wysiwyg~Blast Tyrant

now, for the second time, enjoy

i'd just like to re-iterate that gunnels' flawless Rush compilation changed my life forever since you philistines seem to have ignored it.

And Party Ranger! Classical belongs on budget-range CD's, shame on you

I particularly recommend the Naxos library, they are cheap and performances tend to use acclaimed orchestras/composers. So no 'Jimmy Kong and the Trinidad Youth Orchestra'.

Karajan or bust!

Seriously though, I generally pick up what's available and cheaper is always better.

The Beginner's Guide to Jonathan Coulton

Jonathan Coulton is probably best known for his song work at the end of Valve's 2007 surprise hit "Portal". He also does a back page in Popular Science and proved that you don't need a record label to become popular. All his stuff is self released from his website (Jonathan Coulton). He use to post his songs up for free download, but after his popularity began to rise he now charges, something I'm happy to pay because his work is top notch. His topics range from the joys of being a computer programmer to bacteria, witty and at times very dark, he is not a musician to be passed up.

Track Listing:

Still Alive
Code Monkey
Skullcrusher Mountain
RE: Your Brains
Tom Cruise Crazy
Ikea
Creepy Doll
Baby Got Back (Sir Mix-A-Lot Cover)
The Presidents
The Future Soon
I Feel Fantastic

Awesomeness Here

Would anyone be interested in a Sufjan Stevens or Ben Folds comp?

I've heard a lot about Sufjan Stevens but never actually bothered to get an album and form an opinion of my own about him.

Go for it
