What I've Been Digging Lately

[bumblebeebass]

Dizzee Rascal - Showtime
The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free
hey i checked out that steets' album it's awesome, nice choice

[Little Man being Erased]

You Am I - #4 Record

[Interstate]

hey i checked out that steets' album it's awesome, nice choice

It's one of the best albums I've heard. The whole storyline/concept of his life is brilliant.

[Interstate]

Hondo Maclean - Chasing Angels EP

[MAthiAS]

Got into Midnight Oil recently, great stuff.

Somewhat related... could someone recommend some Bjork for me?

[GhostofHarrenhal]

Today I just bought Kid A and The Bends by Radiohead. I also bought Loveless by My Bloody Valentine and the Led Zeppelin double disc DVD.

I decided to try out some of the classics....and I like them.

In fact, I showed a song from Kid A to my mother (Idioteque), who I didn't think would like anything from Kid A. But as the music was playing she just kind of blankly stared off into space and I was like.....uhhh...what do you think? And she quietly says "That's kind of cool actually." So Radiohead has power over my mother appearently...

[Bukowski]

Half Japanese
The Birthday Party
Pavement
Slint

[Dog]

Did you guys get turned on to Evolution Fight by me.. or through your own devices?

Because I've been whoring that album for nearly a year now.

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=6125

if you're interested.
RYM recommendations. Good review, though.
The Embarrassment - Heyday (1979-1983)

Good stuff, even if the guitar tone is a little weird.
Much love for this band/album.

Food - Veggie (thanks asymm)
Spoon - Kill The Moonlight
Beck - Sea Change

'Sup 2002

[Little Man being Erased]

Got into Midnight Oil recently, great stuff.

Somewhat related? How is Bjork somewhat related to Midnight Oil? :confused:

I couldn't think of two more dissimilar artists if I tried.

[sketchyjoe]

The Max Levine Ensemble: They're a great pop-punk band on Plan-It-X. They have catchy music and great lyrics. They've got a new album coming out this year on PIX and all their old stuff is available on their website. (http://tmle.terrorware.com/) Their best songs are Nihilism (http://tmle.terrorware.com/media/audio/How%20to%20Build%20an%20Intergalactic%20Time%20Tra vel%20Machine/08%20-%20Nihilism.mp3), Leopard Print Girl (http://tmle.terrorware.com/media/audio/Chach,%20Cops,%20and%20Donuts/05%20-%20Leopard%20Print%20Girl.mp3), Tidal Wave (http://tmle.terrorware.com/media/audio/Chach,%20Cops,%20and%20Donuts/11%20-%20Tidal%20Wave.mp3) and Conventional (http://tmle.terrorware.com/media/audio/Chach,%20Cops,%20and%20Donuts/02%20-%20Conventional.mp3)

Spoonboy: He's the lead singer of the Max Levine Ensemble and he has some great solo acoustic stuff. There's a live show available at the Live Music Archive (http://www.archive.org/details.php?identifier=spoonboy2005-03-03.flac16&from=browsePopular)

Michael Jordan Touchdown Pass: Great folky-pop reminiscent of Matty Pop Chart or Erin Tobey from the younger brother of the lead singer of Johnny Hob and the Freight-Trains.

They're both on The Very Best of MTV Unplugged, Vol. 2, making the obvious connection.

IMO,The Max Levine Ensemble is one of the worst bands on PIX.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

the airforce leak

Ooh it leaked.
I must check that out.

[ATM]

Devotchka - How It Ends

really cool so far

[dwass5656]

the double's album called 'loose in the air'...it rules!

Jens Lekman - Oh You're So Silent Jens

And Edgar-Allen Floe - only heard a couple of songs but he's decent.

"How Near How Far" has always been one of my favorite Trail Of Dead songs, even more so since I finally figured out how to play that awesome bass line in the verses.

[EightMilesHigh]

A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory

[Baudelaire]

Arcade Fire - Funeral
Ah its 2004 all over again.

[Bukowski]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs new album (forgets the name me do)

[Bartender]

Just listening to the new Canvas Solaris album for the first time. I'm only about halfway through so far, but if it keeps this up then they're one of the most consistent technical metal bands I know. Even if their sound is changing, little by little.

[Interstate]

Pig Destroyer - Prowler In The Yard

Also:

Deerhoof (need more songs from them to form an opinion)
Scary Kids Scaring Kids
The Reindeer Section

[pixiesfanyo]

Some GY!BE and ASMZ bootlegs too

I need to buy tickets to see ASMZ when they come through here.

It's only 12 bucks :)

[Bartender]

Just listening to The Chirping Crickets now. Whoever's responsible for the ever-present backing vocals on every second of every track needs to be shot.

[3rdplanet]

Listening to 13 & God, tis pretty good.

[Matt?]

at first few listens i honestly thought that the airforce was a major major dissapointment. but then the more i listen to it, the more i like it

buzz saw is an ace song, as well is bishop ca and vulture piano.

i wouldn't rate it as high as their a promise or fab muscles, but i like it more than la foret


unfortunately i think with new xiu xiu stuff is it doesn't sound as dark, percussion wise, as their first three albums, which was something i really liked about them

[Matt?]

senorbatt

[Matt?]

ah do you have aim?

[Daniel!]

New Bomb Turks
The Devil Dogs

The New Bomb Turks in particular are great.

[Matt?]

senorbatt

hit me up and i'll send it

[YDload]

Oh hey I have soulseek now. Same as my username but no caps (ydload).

Recently I am digging the song "Venus" by Television. I can see why Nacho listed it as his favorite song off Marquee Moon. It's just so damn :cool:, especially the call-and-response part

-Did you feel low?
-Nah.
-HUH?!
-I fell right into the arms of Venus De Milo

[sweboy]

Now diggin' the new single from Promoe, "Songs Of Joy", featuring jamaican player Capleton.

[Interstate]

Deerhoof - The Runners Four - This is, erm...weird.
The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat

[Matt?]

Deerhoof - The Runners Four - This is, erm...weird.

i didn't like it very much tbh

i kind of found it boring for a deerhoof album

[Interstate]

i didn't like it very much tbh

i kind of found it boring for a deerhoof album

It's my first experience of Deerhoof (album wise) and I wasn't expecting the high vocals in almost every song. I think it's an album that needs to be listened to on headphones.

[Matt?]

if you like it, get reveille

i like that album a lot more

[Interstate]

if you like it, get reveille

I think it'll grow on me, I'll give it a listen on my Ipod when I put it on there.

[Matt?]

beck-broken drum

this is the only song i like off of guero, but i like it A LOT



buzz saw off of the air force is on repeat lately

[Zebra]

Air - Talkie Walkie

This band/album is so addicting.

[EightMilesHigh]

Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister

One of the best albums of the '90s. Belle & Sebastian make me cream my pants.

Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible


djwertg4uih32u45gh5t

[Bukowski]

The Pop Group - We Are All Prostitutes

[Baudelaire]

Think I'll be diggin some Decemberists - Picaresque for right now.

[pixiesfanyo]

djwertg4uih32u45gh5t

you like?

I've had it for a long time, it's taken awhile to grow on me so maybe my opinion is wrong on it, but I don't think it's anywhere near the credit it gets from people on here. It's probably a 3/5. Solid album, but only when I'm in a very odd mood.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Thom Yorke - The Eraser

if you like it, get reveille

i like that album a lot more

I completely agree.
That's my favourite Deerhoof album, and I found The Runners Four pretty boring.

[pikester]

I'm really digging Beck's Sea Change and Archer Prewitt's Wilderness right about now.

[Tangy zizzle]

Ladyhawk - Ladyhawk

This is really, really good. Well no, I'll be honest. I know that after about 5 listens I'll think this is really, really good.

The Futureheads

[Tangy zizzle]

Woah! Woah! I gave in and downloaded the new Bronx album.

I loved them before, but now I'm completely enamoured. Best rock record of the year so far. Some songs are kinda QOTSA-ish, some are just balls out punk. There's even an almost-ballad.

Yea, that's the album I have.

The album has a few weak spots, but when it is good it is GOOD.

[FA]

Well, I suggest getting "What the Toll Tells", it's fantastic.

[br3ad_man]

I'm in the mood for something bigy, epicy, spacey, and psychadelicy.

Built to Spill - Perfect From Now On

[Interstate]

two gallants are amazing.

The few songs that I've heard from them are mindblowing.

This morning so far:

Rocky Votolato - Makers - Been meaning to hear this for ages but only just got around to downloading it. So far it's good.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I've been digging Therapy? and Manic Street Preachers lately :)
Doesn't that feel much better than way too much thrash and death? :cool:

I went to see The Billy Bragg last night, so I've been digging said experience. Additionally, I've been blasting Jeff Buckley's Grace and Elvis Presley's Loving You all morning/afternoon.

[Robert Crumb]

In my experience, the correlation between a band's perceived overratedness and the quality of said band's live show is pretty strong. Band's who play awesome sets tend to get their recorded stuff played down. Except Interpol. Those guys are just overrated and horrible all around.

Was digging this Eccentric Soul: The Capsoul Label compilation thing yesterday, some pretty nice songs and one absolute knockout in Kool Blues' "I'm Gonna Keep On Loving You." I'll probably continue the diggage trend.

[Bukowski]

Butthole Surfers
Frank Zappa - Freak Out

[Interstate]

Brian Eno - Another Green World
Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music For Airports
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Let Love In

I've been digging Another Green World alot more recently. Which Eno album/collaboration shall I get next?

Also been digging The Magnetic Fields.

[Zebra]

Which Eno album/collaboration shall I get next?

Taking Tiger Mountain (by Strategy). That's what I'm currently diggining, it may actually be better then Another Green World.

[YDload]

Elvis 405 is the band's name. They're a pop-punk band that got attention briefly in the mid-90s because the number in their name is the area code for Oklahoma City. Everyone thought they were Timothy McVeigh sympathizers and they never lived it down. Guitarist John Hymenthal later killed himself by drinking bleach.

does anyone have an album recommendation for Felt? There are too many albums to know what to start off with

[WhiteVolta7]

yeah yeah yeahs
eagles of death metal
the mars volta

[YDload]

Is "Grounded" Pavement's best song? It could be. Or at least, the best one that's not on either of their two most heralded albums.

[sr800bkBassist]

My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

how did it happen that a band could be this good
have you heard their Ecstacy and Wine CD?
isn't as good as Loveless, but better than Isn't Anything. very upbeat and fun.

[el doctor]

have you heard their Ecstacy and Wine CD?
isn't as good as Loveless, but better than Isn't Anything. very upbeat and fun.Some of those EPs are incredible, especially the ones between Isn't Anything and Loveless.

Cat Power - You Are Free

It just seemed to match the weather. And it's great.

[Jawaharal]

So I relistened to The Downward Spiral for the first time in ages and I was really impressed. I used to think it was just a good album but now I'm leaning to a 4-4.5 range now. It just gets better everytime I hear it.

[YDload]

I think I'm going to bump Clouds Taste Metallic by The Flaming Lips up into the supreme 5/5 category. It might as well be a flawless album.

[Zebra]

I think I'm going to bump Clouds Taste Metallic by The Flaming Lips up into the supreme 5/5 category. It might as well be a flawless album.

I almost agree, if not a 5/5 it's at least a 4.5/5. Kims Watermelon Gun and Evil Will Prevail are brilliant.

Read Med's review about it and you'll apperciate it so much more.

[pixiesfanyo]

the s/t DEP EP is really strange. i like it.

Zurich is Stained can't be beat.

It's my faovrite song ever tho'

[Zmev]

Some of those EPs are incredible, especially the ones between Isn't Anything and Loveless.

The Tremolo ep is sweet. I think that was after Loveless though.

Air - 10,000 Hz Legend

Its not as bad as I originally made it out to be, it just doesn't compete with Moon Safari or Talkie Walkie.

[Little Man being Erased]

Talkie Walkie > 10,000 Hz Legend > Moon Safari

[Kayetan]

Venetian Snares- Songs about my cats.

[Kayetan]

Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding ir really good too.

[Zmev]

Talkie Walkie > 10,000 Hz Legend > Moon Safari

Ok Virgin Suicides sountrack, where does it fit it?

[Little Man being Erased]

I haven't got that one so it doesn't fit in.

[Little Man being Erased]

Speaking of Pavement, (late) I heard a song of theirs on the radio the other day (I think it might have been "Cut Your Hair", not sure) and it was friggin' awesome. I hadn't heard a Pavement song that I really connected with straight away (or even really liked) until this, so it's exciting.

So in short, I might be getting into Pavement.

[Luxor]

Cut Your Hair is ****ty

[ATM]

Unfair is better.

[Little Man being Erased]

"Unfair" is one of the other Pavement songs I've heard, it's pretty good I guess, but not as good as this other one. Like I said, I'm not sure what it was called.

[JonM]

I've been digging OutKast, because I am home.

[Little Man being Erased]

Cruisiiiiin' in the A-T-L!

I heard Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and then Pavement on the radio when I was in an op shop and I was like ahh.
The op shop sucked though.

[br3ad_man]

Best Pavement song = "Elevate Me Later"

I've only got Slanted and Enchanted and Crooked Rain though so...

10,000 Hz Legend

I picked this up for $5 on Friday brand new. I heard it wasn't their best, but I figured I couldn't go wrong for $5. I will listen to it soon.

Didn't listen to much on my computer last week. I can feel my Last FM next week is going to be really mellow, all this soft music for revision will take it's toll.

[cb240]

No love for Brighten the Corners? I know it's no Crooked Rain, but it's still damn good.

[Jawaharal]

I had no idea the new Murder By Death was out. For those of you who have heard it, whats it like?

[Dog]

Galaxie 500 - On Firew
The Beatles - Revolver
The Bronx - s/t

I had no idea the new Murder By Death was out. For those of you who have heard it, whats it like?
I was pretty bored with it after just one listen.

[Kyle]

I had no idea the new Murder By Death was out. For those of you who have heard it, whats it like?I havn't heard it, but I've heard two tracks and found them really boring. It's a shame, after hearing the first album I was really impressed with these guys, but they appear to be getting worse and worse.

Air - 10,000 Hz Legend

Its not as bad as I originally made it out to be, it just doesn't compete with Moon Safari or Talkie Walkie.When it's good, it's great. When it's not so good, it's horrible. Their other stuff is just so much more consistent.

[myiaa]

Forever Breathes the Golden Sunsets or something is good. I'm pretty sure that's not the exact title though.

edit: it's Forever Breathes the Lonely Word. That other thing is an Appleseed Cast song apparently.
thank you :cool: it's pretty cool so far, doesn't seem that special but maybe it will grow on me more

[Zappa]

Exile in Guyville by Liz Phair is remarkable.

I've told you that before.

[Interstate]

Today:

Rocky Votolato - Makers - This is so much better on headphones.
Keane - Hopes & Fears - Haven't heard this in ages but it's still alright, even if the orchestration is a bit minimalist.
Brian Eno - Music For Airports - Perfect album for headphones.

Now listening to MxPx - Slowly Going The Way Of The Buffalo, haven't busted this out in a while, I still love it.

[Interstate]

Red House Painters - Ocean Beach

I know I say this **** all the time but Mark Kozelek is the best American songwriter of the past 15 years. I completely mean it this time too.

"Drop", jesus christ.

Yo, DMD, what's the best RHP to get after Red House Painters I? I've got Sun Kil Moon's Ghosts Of The Great Highway which is awesome but I'm lost as to which RHP to get next as I've seen quite a few been plugged. (mainly by you)

[Little Man being Erased]

I heard Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and then Pavement on the radio when I was in an op shop and I was like ahh.
The op shop sucked though.
That's what I heard too.

:eek:

We were listening to the same station at the same time!


The Streets - The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living

I've decided that I'm not disappointed with this album at all.

[Interstate]

Go for Ocean Beach, and then Down Colorful Hill.

I'll get on those. Thanks.:)

diggin this song

[pixiesfanyo]

Six Organs of Admittance - The Sun Awakens (thanks to Mr. Jackalope)

It's pretty good. The production is a little strange, and the addition of drums is neat. I like the acoustic buzzing. Chansy is a genius.

[myiaa]

Venetian Snares - Doll, Doll, Doll
It's nice

[EightMilesHigh]

My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything
Frank Sinatra - The Reprise Collection
X - Los Angeles

This should hold me for most of the evening.

[ATM]

Dødheimsgaard - 666 International
Saul Williams - Saul Williams (sooooo good)

[Robert Crumb]

Dug a whole lotta stuff today. Right now, it's Matmos' The Rose Has Teeth In The Mouth Of A Beast. Pretty wild ****, not sure how I feel about it yet.

Da Backwudz - Wood Work

This is the best ATL record since Aquemini.

[br3ad_man]

A Silver Mt Zion. Efrim's voice is really annoying when he sings loud but otherwise I really dig these guys now.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

The Cars - Complete Greatest Hits
Mr. Bungle - California
Hulk Hogan And The Wrestling Boot Band - Hulk Rules (Oh my god.)

[Zappa]

Man, all those bands are pretty awesome (except I'v enot heard Qu and not U).

[Luxor]

Q And Not U is sweet

[Interstate]

Q And Not U is sweet

Truth.

Today:

Matisyahu - Live At Stubbs - I've had 'Chop Em Down' in my head all day.
Cocteau Twins - Treasure

Got my two Reindeer Section albums through the post today (about time as well) so I'll be digging those tomorrow most likely.

[Zebra]

Peter Tosh - Legalize It

This is superior to any material that Bob Marley has ever put out, this is becoming one of my favorite reggae albums of all time.

[sketchyjoe]

The Copyrights: Good pop-punk.

[pixiesfanyo]

Say Anything: Better pop-punk.

[Neoteric]

Circle Jerks

[Luxor]

Saves The Day: Best pop-punk

:)

[BillCosby]

Against Me! - Acoustic EP
Against Me! - Reinventing Axl Rose
Bear vs. Shark - Terrorhawk

[YDload]

Lately I've been really into some songs that are really slow and soul-crushing, and heavy without being metal. Here are some examples:

Dino Jr- Thumb
Pavement- Grounded
Built To Spill- Carry The Zero (or maybe Randy Described Eternity)

So if you know any more songs in that vein, feel free to recommend them to me! As always, I still have much to learn about Alt/Indie music.

[Jawaharal]

Ok, So I bought the new Murder By Death. I like it. Its certainly different from their other stuff. They keep getting a more western sound with each album. Brother and Organ Grinder are great songs.

[Kyle]

Matisyahu - Live At Stubbs - I've had 'Chop Em Down' in my head all day.Man, that song is so great, was amazing when he played it live. That and Exaltation are probably my two favorite songs of his.

[JonM]

Peter Tosh - Legalize It

This is superior to any material that Bob Marley has ever put out, this is becoming one of my favorite reggae albums of all time.That's bullshit, but it is good.

[Interstate]

Man, that song is so great, was amazing when he played it live. That and Exaltation are probably my two favorite songs of his.

I'd give my left nut to see him live. That beatbox song on LAS is incredible. I've heard he puts on quite a show.

[YDload]

My Bloody Valentine - "Only Shallow"
Radiohead - "Airbag"
Flaming Lips - "Lightning Strikes the Postman"

those come to mind.


anyway, I'm digging Radio Birdman, because they're reuniting, touring here, and putting out a new album.

Airbag is boring but I have heard "Lightning Strikes The Postman" and I agree.

Maybe MBV is the next step in my musical journey.

EDIT: I'm listening to a song I consider to be part of that group too: "198d" by At the Drive-In

vvvv Yeah I've heard OF them but that's about it.

Have you heard of Big Black?

[Dave de Sylvia]

Rufus Wainwright - Want One
Slint - Spirderland

[prurient]

It's possible to dislike Loveless? Lies.

[Dave de Sylvia]

If you use that clause to have SonorKen dismissed I'll buy you dinner.

[Dave de Sylvia]

:eek:

[prurient]

:-\

[EightMilesHigh]

...Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary

I find it kinda dissapointing that Nate Mendel went from SDRE to something as crappy as the Foo Fighters :-\

:-\

Don't listen to those guys, they know nothing about music.

[Zebra]

Ride- Nowhere

The best shoegaze album evar.

[YDload]

prurient is dei ok ;)

Anyway I think I am changing my stance as far as the long songs on Yank Crime. I thought they were all pretty boring but Luau has gotten my attention finally.

[Zebra]

except for Loveless seriously have you missed this whole page

Loveless blows:cool:

[ATM]

Loveless is good, yea, and Ride are also good.

[Jawaharal]

Loveless is awful, I really can't dig the vocals at all.

[ATM]

Loveless is awful, I really can't dig the vocals at all.

Eh, to each is own. Shoegaze is nice and relaxing, IMO.

[Zmev]

Loveless ftw

[Little Man being Erased]

Bullshit. That album is awesome.

[Dog]

anyway, I'm digging Radio Birdman, because they're reuniting, touring here, and putting out a new album.
This is good news.

Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska

Yeah this is ****ty watered-down early Dylan. I'm disappointed.
Disagreed. This is one of those albums that doesn't get old for me. On par with anything Dylan did, imo.

[YDload]

if i wanted watered-down Dylan i'd listen to the velvet underground >:-}

[sr800bkBassist]

if i wanted watered-down Dylan i'd listen to the velvet underground >:-}
hahahaha what?
i see no similarity whatsoever between Bob Dylan and the VU except that Lou Reed and Bob Dylan are my favorite lyricists.

[ATM]

Danger Doom - The Mouse and the Mask

Anything MF Doom is on, I seem to like a lot.

[Little Man being Erased]

maybe I'm missing something here but Nebraska really does not grab me at all. Eh.
It didn't hit me at first either. Give it a few more spins and see what happens.

[Zappa]

I hate Loveless.

[pixiesfanyo]

I hate Loveless.

Me too. Minus Sometimes which is one of the best songs ever written.

[Luxor]

It's a little too samey

[prurient]

I hate Loveless.
I hate you.

[Zappa]

Me too. Minus Sometimes which is one of the best songs ever written.

I'm sure I've never gotten that far into the album. I'll play that song now.

[Matt?]

the van pelt a lot

members of native nod and greyhouse

this band is sickk native nod fans and grey house fans listen. they are good.

[Matt?]

they're awesome

chris leo is like a god

the a b c and d's of fascism is so sweet

[Tangy zizzle]

^Blasphemer!

The Drips
Amboy Dukes
Beat Happening
The Bronx - II

Oh yeah, final word on MBV = they were (are?) overrated as hell. Jesus & Mary Chain are so much better.

[Baudelaire]

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Kaleidoscope
I abuse my Siouxsie way to much. She never gets any 'spect.

[cb240]

Why do you dig like 15 different things a day DMD, why are you so ****ing indie?!!?

[Tangy zizzle]

Because if he gets enough indie points he'll win a George Forman grill man.

[Anxious]

I hate Loveless.
I'm with you on this.

Everything by them I like except that album.

[Zappa]

K'naan - The Dusty Foot Philosopher

Forgot that this is awesome.

Chris Leo > Ted

That's Audrey Tautou.

nevermind then

[asymm]

Kieran Hebden & Steve Reid - The Exchange Session Vol. 1

[Little Man being Erased]

Pinback - Summer in Abaddon

I rarely listen to this album, but it's decent enough for a bit of enjoyment.

[br3ad_man]

I never really got into TJ&MC. Darklands is pretty good but Psychocandy kinda sucks.

I'm pretty sure I've fallen out of favor with everybody's taste by now.

You're still in with me. Well, except for the Springsteen thing but I'll say that you need to give it some more listens for now.

Dig:

Circle Takes The Square
A Silver Mt. Zion
The Stooges
Converge

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Danielson - Ships
Venetian Snares - Cavalcade Of Glee And Dadaist Happy Hardcore Pom Poms

[KILLpeterpan]

Iv'e been 'digging' Help She Can't Swim's latest single - Midnight Garden
Miracle Chosuke - The 7/8 Wonders Of The World
Cursive - Domestica
Aphex Twin - Richard D James Album
and Explosions In The Sky - How Strange Innocence

And Br3ad Man you msised out Sometimes and Only Shallow two of the best tracks on the album.

[br3ad_man]

Where did I miss this? I'm confused. "Sometimes" owns anyway but "Only Shallow" is inferior to a lot of the other songs on the album.

[Interstate]

Matisyahu - Live At Stubbs - I love this album so much. King Without A Crown is so awesome!

[Bukowski]

90 Day Men - Panda Park
Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners
