What I've Been Digging Lately

[Dave de Sylvia]

Elvis Presley - From Elvis In Memphis
Elvis Presley - Blue Hawaii
Flyleaf - Flyleaf
Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere

[mr_jackalope]

Voxtrot - Raised by Wolves EP
Felt - Absolute Classic Masterpieces (because I haven't been able to find any real albums)

Voxtrot is probably going to put out the best debut album of 2007. You heard it here first.

[Robert Crumb]

Playing Pharoah Sanders' "Creator Has a Master Plan" on my radio show. Right now. 5 Minutes left. :)

[pixiesfanyo]

Gospel - The Moon is a Dead World

Man, this album is so good.

[asymm]

resticky.

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Kaleidoscope

[Bukowski]

Pale Saints - Comforts of Madness

one hella good album.

[Zappa]

I think I just realized after all this time that We're Only In It For the Money is one of the most inventive records ever made.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic

This is already my favourite Flips album after two listens.

[The Jungler]

The Format - Dog Problems

Just a great Pop record, plain and simple.

[Zmev]

Rancid - Lets Go!

eh

[Dave de Sylvia]

I saw Butch Walker compared to the Format recently and I was like "yuck."

Anyway,

Savage Garden - Savage Garden
Hilltop Hoods - The Calling
Buckcherry - Time Bomb

I needed the last one to wash the dirty Aussieness off me.

[ATM]

I saw Butch Walker compared to the Format recently and I was like "yuck."

Anyway,

Savage Garden - Savage Garden
Hilltop Hoods - The Calling
Buckcherry - Time Bomb

I needed the last one to wash the dirty Aussieness off me.

That Hilltop Hoods album is so good.

I'm diggin Louis Logic at the moment.

[Little Man being Erased]

I needed the last one to wash the dirty Aussieness off me.
I'm not gonna argue with that. As far as Aussieness goes, it doesn't get much dirtier. Hilltop Hoods are ok though.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I was reading a review of The Hard Road that said it improved upon The Calling and I said "no it ****ing didn't!" and listened to The Calling instead.

[ATM]

I like that battle rap song, where the one MC is like "Ignorance is bliss and you're a happy mother****a"

[Sam]

Bedhead. Bedhead is cool.

[Anxious]

I think I just realized after all this time that We're Only In It For the Money is one of the most inventive records ever made.

I've always wondered if the slap bass was added in in the re master or if it was original.

[Eliminator]

i'm listneing to stuff i've been recording

it all sucks

[Tangy zizzle]

Dammit Ian, why unsticky it? This the institution of Alt/Indie man, why kill the institution?!!!?

[YDload]

Dammit Ian, why unsticky it? This the institution of Alt/Indie man, why kill the institution?!!!?

it's a sign of respect, man. it doesn't NEED stickied to command attention, everyone just posts in it regardless. be proud, you created a legend.

[Tangy zizzle]

Meh, I suppose. I just liked having it all prominent like.

Anyways... I think I've come to the point where new music just doesn't do it for me anymore. I havn't gotten into any new bands for months, and whenever I go into a record store; they either don't have what I want or I just wanna buy what I already own. I dunno if it's me getting comfortable and stale or just there's nothing good coming out anymore.

That said, the bands that I do like are still putting out the goods, so I guess that's some consolation.

The Ponys - Another Wound
Cougars - Nice, Nice
JSBX - Acme
Pavement - Wowee Zowee

[Dog]

Meat Puppets - Up On The Sun

i've had a sub-par digital copy of this for a while. i just got the remastered cd in the mail a couple of days ago and it sounds so much nicer.

[Eliminator]

Kayo Dot - Choirs Of the Eye
The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat
Björk - Debut, Vespertine

[Kayetan]

Bohren und der Club of Gore- Sunset Mission

As ghey as that name makes the band sound, this music is amazing. Jazz/ambient/noir or something like that. It's probably the darkest thing I've ever heard.

[pixiesfanyo]

So No Heroes leaked, but I can't find it.

-_-

[JonM]

You know what? I'm digging Lil' Wayne.

Huh.

[EightMilesHigh]

Nas - Illmatic

again.

i just cant get past N.Y. State Of Mind. It could be my favorite rap song ever.

[Robert Crumb]

Curtis Mayfield - There's No Place Like America Today.

Nice so far. Also listened to JT and Junior Boys today.

[Zmev]

The first four songs on Discovery are brilliant.

[BillCosby]

You know what? I'm digging Lil' Wayne.

Huh.

he's got a good verse on "hollywood divorce"

unlike andre...

[Little Man being Erased]

get past it, because "It Ain't Hard to Tell" is even better.

man, that song + good headphones = astounding.
Oh man, I was about to say the same thing.


Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Mos Def - Black on Both Sides
The Bronx - The Bronx
Spoon - Girls Can Tell

The former two are pretty great, but the latter two are amazing.

[Little Man being Erased]

sticky sticky sticky sticky


Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me

Woah, dude. Yeah, woah.

[Eliminator]

Leftöver Crack - **** World Trade

[br3ad_man]

I'm digging the Team America soundtrack. Fun stuff.

[Happymeal]

Hot Snakes - Automatic Midnight

[Bartender]

Amongst a bunch of other stuff;

Aereogramme - Sleep and Release

Was kind of disappointing - kind of really disappointing - at first, but the second half really picked up. I prefer A Story in White so far, though.

Also listened to some Imogen Heap on Wednesday night, commiserating the fact that I was missing seeing her live at the time.

[Zappa]

I've always wondered if the slap bass was added in in the re master or if it was original.

Ew, ew, ew. The bass an drums on your CD are re-taken, and completely ridiculous.

[Robert Crumb]

Serge Gainsbourg in the morning. I had a weird dream last night, can't really remember it but I've been up since 3am. Bonnie and Clyde is like java, and I'm not talking scripting. Two weeks from now, I hope to have put together a Francophile theme show for my radio thing. This week, I'm doing an ode to seasonal change through soul tunes. It's all done, took me a whole hour but in the meanwhile I've been schooling myself on the awesomeness that is Stevie Wonder's "Superwoman." Amazing song.

[Interstate]

Notorious B.I.G - Ready To Die
Dizzee Rascal - Showtime

[Team_Meat]

Pink Grease

[XembraceX]

These Arms are Snakes and Minus The Bear. And Fall Of Troy. I believe that's enough said.

[asymm]

pretty depressed today, but I'm trying to not play anything too overtly sad...

Pale Saints - The Comforts of Madness
Svalastog - Woodwork

[Converge]

Stars "Set Yourself On Fire"

[EightMilesHigh]

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

the most ****ing badass album of all time

[Eliminator]

if by most ****ing badass you mean great, then yeah

[EightMilesHigh]

Neil Young - Tonight's The Night

[Dave de Sylvia]

The new Killers album is pretty cool. Not as poppyawesome as the first few tracks on their debut, but it doesn't have a side of crap either.

[Eliminator]

I couldn't make it past the fifth or sixth song in the stream.

[Happymeal]

Stephen Malkmus - Face the Truth

Been a year since I listened to this. Now I'm digging it loads more.

[JonM]

he's got a good verse on "hollywood divorce"

unlike andre...Ouch

[Montana]

Can't stop listening to Jurassic 5 lately. Quality Control and Feedback. I love Work It Out, the song they did with Dave Matthews, it's so...relaxing.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I never really like Joe Jackson too much, but something just clicked recently. It's insane how good his early singles were and how quick he evolved.

[EightMilesHigh]

Joe Jackson is awesome. Amanda introduced me to Look Sharp! like a year ago, he's good.

The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow

After watching Garden State tonight, I put this on, and something about it clicked. Something about it never quite appealed to me, but now I'm really liking it.

[Eliminator]

who's joe jackson

[Jacaranda]

jack's younger brother, he's the skater

[Zmev]

16 Horsepower - Folklure

My review of this will be up when I resume it.

[mr_jackalope]

The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America

Fact: this is probably the best album ever made.

Fact: it's almost as good as Separation Sunday.

[sr800bkBassist]

The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America

Fact: this is probably the best album ever made.

Fact: it's almost as good as Separation Sunday.

meh....

[mr_jackalope]

Mr. Sr800bk I just don't get you. Come to the light.

Come.

[sr800bkBassist]

i'm stuck to the ground. it's too sticky. so sticky.

[mr_jackalope]

How am I supposed to know that you're high if you won't let me touch you?

[sr800bkBassist]

your touch isn't soft enough.

[mr_jackalope]

It's just

a little crush

it's not like I faint

every time we touch

[Zmev]

knock off the damn homo fest pls

[RetiredAt21]

Joe Jackson is awesome. Amanda introduced me to Look Sharp! like a year ago, he's good.

The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow

After watching Garden State tonight, I put this on, and something about it clicked. Something about it never quite appealed to me, but now I'm really liking it.

I totally know what you mean.

[mr_jackalope]

I went through gay awareness training last weekend dude. To combat dudes like you.

[sr800bkBassist]

it's my life,
it's now or never.
i ain't gonna live forever.

[sr800bkBassist]

anyway, i've been listening to a lot of Latterman.
amazing band. makes me want to jump up and chant along because every single chorus of theirs, and even their verses, or anthmemic as hell.

[Zmev]

I went through gay awareness training last weekend dude. To combat dudes like you.

id reply to that but my racial sensativity teacher doesnt wanna see me again

[sexymuffin]

john vanderslice is prett kewl

[mr_jackalope]

id reply to that but my racial sensativity teacher doesnt wanna see me again

I wonder if it's time to bust out my personal repository of incredibly awful racist jokes. Growing up in South Carolina will get you one of those.

Mr. Sexymuffin: I can verify that he is indeed a cool dude. He came to play at my school one time, and was just chilling in the living room of the house he was playing in, so I went over and hung out with him. We talked about Aqua Teen Hunger Force and he gave me a cookie.

[EightMilesHigh]

it's my life,
it's now or never.
i ain't gonna live forever.

HOW DO WE SLEEP WHILE OUR BEDS ARE BURNING

[sexymuffin]

Mr. Sexymuffin: I can verify that he is indeed a cool dude. He came to play at my school one time, and was just chilling in the living room of the house he was playing in, so I went over and hung out with him. We talked about Aqua Teen Hunger Force and he gave me a cookie.

forreals?

[mr_jackalope]

totally brah

The cookie was delicious and I'm pretty sure he had some sex with a female compatriot of mine. Cool dude.

[mr_jackalope]

Also I'm listening to The Queen is Dead because on another forum I go to more than this one someone said the Cure was better than the Smiths and what kind of nonsense is that?

[sexymuffin]

yeah really, both suck equally

[sr800bkBassist]

the Cure has one great album (Disintegration) and 20000 attempted remakes of it.

The Smiths are solid. not flawless, quite a few of their songs kinda drag. but for the most part they are consistently good.

[Zmev]

I wonder if it's time to bust out my personal repository of incredibly awful racist jokes. Growing up in South Carolina will get you one of those.

how many mr jackalopes does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

a. as many black people as he enslaves lololol

[sr800bkBassist]

i just downloaded a Jawbreaker tribute CD. Sparta's cover of Kiss the Bottle was ok, but the rest was horrible. especially Fallout Boy covering Save Your Generation. so bad.

[Zmev]

why would you stray away from the original stuff? its gold

[sr800bkBassist]

well i thought it might be cool to hear it :(....

[Zmev]

yeah i guess.

dear you is one of the best records ever go listen to that

edit: futuresex/lovesounds has some pretty good songs

[mr_jackalope]

how many mr jackalopes does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

a. as many black people as he enslaves lololol

lollercaust

hey what's the worst thing about being zmev?

not hating black people.

[mr_jackalope]

the Cure has one great album (Disintegration) and 20000 attempted remakes of it.

The Smiths are solid. not flawless, quite a few of their songs kinda drag. but for the most part they are consistently good.

Falso. The Cure have some wicked singles and like 3 awesome albums, and everything the Smiths recorded is utter genius and should be the source of comparison for all music that has come after it, making them the second best band ever after The Hold Steady.

But really though, the Smiths sort of rule.

[EightMilesHigh]

Led Zeppelin - Early Days and Latter Days

haven't pulled out the Zeppelin in a while :cool: still awesome

Also I'm listening to The Queen is Dead because on another forum I go to more than this one someone said the Cure was better than the Smiths and what kind of nonsense is that?

No way man. The Smiths are far better. The Cure are too inconsistent.

[sr800bkBassist]

yeah i guess.

dear you is one of the best records ever go listen to that

edit: futuresex/lovesounds has some pretty good songs

i have Dear You. it's soo cool. except i don't like how the singer doesn't use any form of dynamic range at all on that CD (because i heard apparently he had throat surgery shortly before they recorded it?).

EDIT: nevermind he had the surgery before 24 Hour Revenge Therapy. but i guess the effects carried on.

[mr_jackalope]

No way man. The Smiths are far better. The Cure are too inconsistent.

That's sort of exactly what I implied, son.

[br3ad_man]

The Smiths are probably the better band, but I prefer The Cure at their best to The Smiths at their best.

If I go see The Moutain Goats in January, John Vanderslice is supporting. That should be good.

[sexymuffin]

sounds like a premium show

[mr_jackalope]

I saw the Mountain Goats last weekend and they ruled, as would be expected. The opener was awful, Vanderslice should be a lot better. If he does a solo show, though, it could go either way, his band is a big part of making his show awesome.

Tight.

[Bukowski]

Blonde Redhead - Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons
Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen

[EightMilesHigh]

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Streetcore

I'd say this is as solid as anything Joe put out with The Clash. Get Down Moses is some seriously funky shi't.

[Kyle]

I have a song on my computer called Mondo Bongo, I have no idea where its from, but it's Joe Strummer and the Mascaleros.....and it's exceedingly good.

[Interstate]

Kanye West

[beso negro]

Strapping Young Lad
MArio Vazquez

[The Great Decay]

Emily Haines - Knives Don't Have Your Back
Joshua Fit For Battle - To Bring Our Own End
La Quiete/Louise Cyphre Split

[PECOAE]

Opeth - Blackwater Park I'm becoming obsessed with this album.
I condescended to buy the P!ATD album and it isn't bad.
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations I've recently discovered that this album is as good, if not better, than Absolution.
Emily Haines - Knives Don't Have Your Back As good as anything by Metric, seriously. I love her voice.
Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped I actually think this is quite a good SY album.
Beck - The Information Nice new direction from him.
I finally decided to give and in and listen to some Pavement. I like Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain better than Slanted and Enchanted.

I got The Queen is Dead.

OH MY FING GOD

It's genius.

The Smiths are now as good as the Cure in my eyes.

Well, not really, because I've only heard one album, and most Cure albums are awesome.

[bootyhunter]

I got Nas-Illmatic on the vinyl classic series thing, and it is a good album, though a little short. I also got Thursday- Full Collapse which seems to be good though I havent really listened to it yet.

[Zebra]

Talking Heads - Fear of Music

I don't know why everyone considers this such a weak album, I think it's great.

[Robert Crumb]

I like it, too. It might be my second favorite Heads album, depending on the week.

Also, about to shower but afterwards, I plan on chilling to some Smokey Robinson and TV on the Radio. Saw the latter live yesterday (see picture in community thread). So ****ing loud, it literally hurt.

[Bartender]

It's great, it's just not as great as all the stuff before and immediately after it. Used to be my favourite Talking Heads I think, but now it's something like fourth.

[Eliminator]

I'm digging the song I recorded today.

[Kurtz]

Minus the Bear

[EightMilesHigh]

Beck is now one of my favorites

yeah :cool:

listening to the queen is dead right now. bigmouth strikes again is the like bestest song ever.

[Eliminator]

the flames rose to my roman nose too :(

[beso negro]

Midlake is really, really good.

Have you heard "Young Bride?" That's a good song. Probably their only good song.

[Robert Crumb]

"Young Bride" is indeed a great song.

[Smackers]

The Books
Half Makeshift

[sweboy]

Been digging The Mars Volta - Amputechture, Mogwai - Mr. Beast and Raised Fist.

[br3ad_man]

Dirty Three - Cinder

This is probably my favourite Dirty Three album.

[mr_jackalope]

"Doris" destroys so much.

[pixiesfanyo]

Silver Jews - Tanglewood Numbers

[br3ad_man]

Man, it's all so good. "She Passed Through" is probably my favourite, but "Great Waves" (with Cat Power) is pretty awesome too.

[Kyle]

Autolux - Future Perfect

This is great.

[Bukowski]

Autolux - Future Perfect

This is great.

agreed.

Jim O'Rourke - Insignificance

I wonder if they have the same producer/engineer on all of their albums. They sound similar.

[YDload]

look me in the eye and tell me i'm saaaattttsiiiisssssifffieeedd

that's one of the least impressive songs on the album. such boring lyrics by Westerberg standards.

[br3ad_man]

"Satisfied" is an excellent song and certainly better than "Black Diamond" or "Gary's Got A Boner".

[Matt?]

why no sticky?

Currently listening to some soul odds and ends. Prince's 3121, Jaheim's Ghetto Classics (truly fantastic album on occasion) and some Irma Thomas thing I bought this afternoon. Soul has produced pretty much the most quality consistent musics in the history of pop musics. Best genre forever and always.

[YDload]

It's pretty amazing how wrong you are. It's so simple that it's perfect--maybe the best teenage disillusionment song ever.

there are so many better songs on that subject, not just from the 80s, not just from Paul Westerberg, but from THAT VERY SAME ALBUM.

Soulwax

soulwax is the ****.

[sr800bkBassist]

the first track on The Crane Wife is amazing.

[Dave de Sylvia]

The Rapture - Echoes

this is pretty cool.
You're a ****ing liar.

[JonM]

I'm digging a ton of different ****. The only thing I'm not digging is that this thread is no longer stuck.

[Eliminator]

this thread should be as sticky as jonm's pillowcase

[Eliminator]

his next album should be called Post Ward

[JonM]

this thread should be as sticky as jonm's pillowcaseI just said something that would definitely get me permabanned and edited it really fast.

[Interstate]

South Central Cartel - N Gatz We Truss - It's so gangsta it's almost funny.
Klashnekoff

[JonM]

HAHAHA gatz!?!

nah album's pretty good tbqh

I listened to Bad last night. I love the fact that the title track is supposed to be tough and aggressive, then he sticks an electric organ solo in the middle.

Dinosaur Jr- You're Living All Over Me

[ToolBox]

Brian Eno & David Byrne - My Life in the Bush of Ghosts

It is um...eclectic.

[JonM]

And now for a post in this thread that actually contains something that I'm digging.

I am really digging the new reissue of Black Uhuru's Black Sounds Of Freedom. They really did a great job of improving the sound, and the extra tracks and dub versions are irie.

[YDload]

Dinosaur Jr- You're Living All Over Me

first time listening through the whole album. it's good, obviously.

As some know, I got the whole SY discography.

I'm on the SY EP. I'm starting with this and movin' chronologically to hear stuff I haven't yet.

Oh yes, and my bass-playing friend's almost done with his bass-and-tambourine album.

The Burning Spear is awesome stuff.

[YDload]

I can't believe you haven't heard the whole album

I haven't heard a lot of "classic" albums, even when I talk about them like I know something. I'm a poseur of the highest caliber, but only because I expect myself to be able to back up my opinions eventually.

Oh and I've never listened to a single Smiths song either, let alone an album >:-}

[Zappa]

Charles Mingus - Pithecanthropus Erectus and Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus

Sooooo good

[Robert Crumb]

Al Green and John Cale. Gets Next to You and Slow Dazzle specifically. Both great in their own ways. Also, I glanced at my last.fm it somehow changed; Lupe Fiasco and Tussle both made it on there now. Tussle's new album Telescope Mind is really pretty cool, very Neu! inspired. Oct. 30th, expect a favorable pitchfork review of at least 7.0+. Let's see if those words haunt me.

Can - Tago Mago

[mr_jackalope]

More like Tindersucks.

They're definitely leet enough to be my top last.fm artist whoa.

[metalicajaymz]

can anything top Tindersticks I? Very few things can.

[mr_jackalope]

It's only competition is Tindersticks II, honestly.

[pixiesfanyo]

Should I buy Tindersticks on vinyl?

[metalicajaymz]

I murders II to be quite honest. II is too dense for me.

[sexymuffin]

lol nacho why did you get banned?

Trojan Kahn crimes

ah that was his plan all along

Sooooo goodMe too.

[asymm]

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Let Love In
The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America
Terrific record. I was somebody who adored Separation Sunday, though, so if you weren't part of that - don't expect this one to change your mind. Nice balance of rockers/ballads, good length, always fascinating lyrical observations/stories. It'll probably grow into one of my favorites for this year.

[Eliminator]

I'm happy for you.

make luv 2 me

Band sucks serious ***. I guess I understand the admiration, but wow do I just not like this band at all. I really seem to be the only one, too.

Outkast - Aquemini
Archers of Loaf - Icky Mettle

[pixiesfanyo]

Trail of Dead - So Divided

[YDload]

Trail of Dead - So Divided


how is it? i heard they beefed up an otherwise lo-fi GBV song so I guess nacho won't be too happy >:-}

[Little Man being Erased]

So is that good or what?

edit: nevermind, just answer YD's question.

[metalicajaymz]

"Gold Heart Mountaintop Queen Directory"

Great song. I'm actually pretty intrigued by the idea of them covering it. It's only like a minute long.

[Eliminator]

Beck - The Information

it's okay

[Zmev]

Beck - The Information

it's okay

Wait are you sure by "The Information" you don't mean "Beck's whole discography"?

[Eliminator]

zing

[pixiesfanyo]

the new trail is more of the same.

[asymm]

Band sucks serious ***. I guess I understand the admiration, but wow do I just not like this band at all. I really seem to be the only one, too.
I realize you're probably annoyed from an excuse such as this, but it took me awhile to get into them. I had to listen to Separation Sunday a few times and read through the lyrics before it really caught on. Finn's content is a really vital aspect of their records; it's what gives the band their significance and their greatness. Separation Sunday really hooked me in with the secular stories infused with Christian themes/references - it's fascinating. Boys and Girls in America isn't as thematically overt (nor a concept album), but it still has a lot of interesting things to say about youth. After only a few listens, I'm already falling for it.

[metalicajaymz]

I just don't like Bruce Springsteen bar rock is all, regardless of lyrics, and I hate his voice. Did you see them at Intonation last year? Drunk and boring.

[asymm]

Damn! Yeah, I saw them at Intonation ... but I loved it. I was really enamored with Separation Sunday at that point, their performance was one of my highlights of the festival. If you weren't familiar/or interested in the material I can imagine the performance being dull though.

[Little Man being Erased]

the new trail is more of the same.
So that means it's good, yes?

[pixiesfanyo]

It's okay.

The production is horrendously boring.

[metalicajaymz]

The Knife - Silent Shout

definitely making a run for top 5 of the year, if not top 3.

[asymm]

The Knife - Silent Shout

definitely making a run for top 5 of the year, if not top 3.Good to hear we agree on this one. This is an amazing record.

[metalicajaymz]

yeah, I have no idea what I was thinking when I ripped on it before. What I thought was shitty MIDI-sounding production is actually pretty nuanced.

[ATM]

Buck 65 - Talkin' Honky Blues

Criminally underrated.

[pixiesfanyo]

Alkaline Trio - S/T, Goddammit!

[Dave de Sylvia]

LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out

[Luxor]

Alkaline Trio - S/T, Goddammit!
I haven't heard the self-titled, any good? Goddamnit and From Here To Infirmary are coo.

[pixiesfanyo]

s/t is my favorite by them.

[EightMilesHigh]

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

I don't know what my opinion of this is yet

[Luxor]

s/t is my favorite by them.
well than.

[br3ad_man]

Tom Waits - Closing Time

I just picked this up yesterday and it's already my favourite Tom Waits album.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah that album is so freakin' awesome.

[Zebra]

It's good, but not anything amazing. Sometimes it fits the mood perfectly but other times it's just way to boring.

[Dave de Sylvia]

It was the first Tom Waits album I heard and it's still the only one I've heard that's consistently great. The whole mood, everything, it just sounds perfect to these ears, I guess.

[Little Man being Erased]

I think I like Rain Dogs more now, but Closing Time was more of an instant hit with me.

[Happymeal]

Heatmiser - Mic City Sons

Not a big fan of Elliott but this album caught my ear when I first heard it.

[Zorg]

The Hold Steady - Seperation Sunday.

[mr_jackalope]

It was the first Tom Waits album I heard and it's still the only one I've heard that's consistently great. The whole mood, everything, it just sounds perfect to these ears, I guess.

I think only Alice tops it in that respect. Closing Time is a nice, cohesive listen.

Now playing: Galaxie 500 - On Fire

[metalicajaymz]

The National - Alligator

album is just absolutely great. I really want to give them another chance in concert now.

[sr800bkBassist]

North of America- "Elements of an Incomplete Map"

so good.

[mr_jackalope]

Alligator might be my favorite album ever or something retarded like that.

Well maybe not ever, but definitely of the millenium so far.

[metalicajaymz]

Jackalope what do you say about the other National albums?

[mr_jackalope]

Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers is the only other one that comes close, and I enjoy that one immensely as well. It's a much more subdued, alt. country record. "Fashion Coat" and "It Never Happened" are definitely among their high points.

Cherry Tree is a good prequel to Alligator, though it's not necessarily a great listen as a whole. The songs themselves are much stronger than the EP, if that makes any sense.

The National is pretty weak compared to the rest--they're really pushing the country thing here, and it's obvious that it's their first album. They didn't tour the material beforehand, it was released right after they got together, and I think that's its main weakness. It's unfinished.

I think if the b-sides to Alligator (You've Done it Again Virgina, Driver Surprise Me, The Thrilling of Claire, and Keep it Upstairs) were put together as an EP, it would rival nearly everything they'd released before. These guys consistently amaze the hell out of me.

[metalicajaymz]

it seems I have some illegal pirating to do!

perhaps even purchasing after that!

[mr_jackalope]

Spending money's a statement, baby. I wish I had some to do that with.

**** now I'm listening to the National. I'd been taking a break for the last few weeks so it didn't get ridiculous and now I'm ****ing back on the drip again.

[metalicajaymz]

yeah I've listened to Alligator for the greater portion of the day.

but now:

Jesse Malin - The Heat

this guy is not bad at all, if you like Ryan Adams and Uncle Tupelo and all that crap.

[mr_jackalope]

Well I do like me some Uncle T and Ryan when he does country, maybe I'll check it out.

[Little Man being Erased]

Jesse Malin - The Heat

this guy is not bad at all, if you like Ryan Adams and Uncle Tupelo and all that crap.
Yeah Jesse Malin is ok. I saw him live once too. Him and Ryan Adams formed a punk band called The Finger a few years ago. Their album was called We Are **** You.

[metalicajaymz]

that is a great album title on many different levels.

[metalicajaymz]

Ryan Adams - Cold Roses

damn, this is really good. I am in a very slight alt-country phase right now.

[Little Man being Erased]

Finally. Good work nacho.

[sgrevs]

Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor

I like it.

also:

Jose Gonzalez - Veneer

this guy is damned good.

[Interstate]

Fall Out Boy - Take This To Your Grave

[Sepstrup]

Jose Gonzalez - Veneer

this guy is damned good.

The album, Heartbeats aside, hasn't really grabbed me.

[ATM]

I like it, he's got a cool voice.

[mr_jackalope]

Listening to the new Califone, Roots and Crowns. I've been really impressed with this one, they're definitely keeping up with their awesome back catalogue. Their cover of Psychic TV's "The Orchids" is freaking phenomenal.
