What I've Been Digging Lately

[pulseczar]

get well soon cheeto ^__^

...Trail of Dead - Source & Tag Codes
I really hated this album the first couple of listens, but it's slowly starting to grow :-\

[AlienEater]

The Holy Shroud - Ghost Repeaters

[Happymeal]

J. Mascis & The Fog - Free so Free

and random Joonya songs

[JonM]

The Wrens - The MeadowlandsThat's a cool ****in record.

I'm so stoked to see all these people diggin Califone. I've been way into them since Heron King Blues, which y'all should also check out, and I'm really pleased to see them moving up in the world. All their stuff is worth checking out.

[Zmev]

Air - Moon Safari
Air - Virgin Suicides OST

[asymm]

Prefuse 73 - Extinguished: Outtakes
Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet

[TAND]

This techno song, it's insane. My friend brought it in the car with me today... it's insane, but i don't know the name.

[Eliminator]

tried to but I had surgery recently and have been in therapy a ton.

really?

:(

[superpeer]

I'm digging the Gin Blossoms. :eek:

[Dave de Sylvia]

Good work :smoke:

Dresden Dolls - Dresden Dolls
Wildhearts - Best Of The Wildhearts
Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds
Duke Special - Songs From The Deep Forest

[Bartender]

Which Best Of The Wildhearts?

Sam Cooke - Night Beat

This is actually the first Sam Cooke I've really heard, outside of A Change Is Gonna Come.

The 13th Floor Elevators - The Psychedelic Sounds Of..

This is alright - has a couple of great songs, even - but that electric jug just makes the same goddamn sound through the background of every single track.

And now I'm also listening to some Gin Blossoms.

[YDload]

Superpeer why are you surprised, they're a great power pop band. "Hey Jealousy" and "Found Out About You" are two of my favorite singles of the 90's.

i like a couple of theirs but i forget the titles. i think "follow you down" and "you lonely people" are by them?

[Dave de Sylvia]

The one with the arrowed heart. I wish it really was their best tracks but it really tapers off towards the end for me.

Sam Cooke's Portrait of a Legend is pretty much the perfect collection of tracks, and his Live From Havana (or whatever it's called) is also essential.

[metalicajaymz]

i like a couple of theirs but i forget the titles. i think "follow you down" and "you lonely people" are by them?
"You Lonely People" is definitely that really bad song by Candlebox

[Dave de Sylvia]

/banned
That'll teach you to question The Superpeer.

I am now also listening to the Gin Blossoms. What have you started? :mad:

[metalicajaymz]

when the party moves into the bathroom
hold me down

duh, duh-nuh

[Dave de Sylvia]

Noticing hitherto untapped melodic similarities between 'Hey Jealousy' and 'When You Were Young.' Weird, I'm probably making it up.

[metalicajaymz]

noticing that "(What a) Wonderful World" is a really good song now that I'm hearing it again, even though I used to dislike it.

[Eliminator]

that sun kil moon album

has grown on me a lot

[metalicajaymz]

perhaps it will grow on you to be one of your favorite albums of all time!

[Eliminator]

probably not!

but it'll probably be on my list thing soon!

[YDload]

he's lying to you nacho!

he's just making fun of everyone who listens to albums and likes them because you say so...like me!!

!!!

[Eliminator]

no! i really do like it!

besides "salvador sanchez" everything is great!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!

[NineBitFable]

Working for a Nuclear Free City

Check them out. . . really really good stuff. a mix of dance and psychedellia? I dont know, I'm terrible at tagging a bands sound, but they're cool.

[Zmev]

Ghosts of the Great Highway - 3/5

[Eliminator]

ghosts of the great ihghway - 4/5

[metalicajaymz]

ghosts of the great highway - 5/5

"Salvador Sanchez" is wonderful

[Eliminator]

it's grown on eliminator

[ATM]

Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand

Cool stuff. I should have checked them out ages ago.

Asobi Seksu - s/t

[Matt?]

daniel striped tiger - condition

hella tight mass punkz

[sr800bkBassist]

Nouvelle Vague- "Bande a Part"
North of America- "These Songs are Cursed"
Brainiac- "Hissing Prigs in Static Couture"
Madeline- "Kissing and Dancing"

[asymm]

Telefon Tel Aviv - Map of What is Effortless
Robert Pollard - Normal Happiness
Wilderness - Vessel States

[ATM]

Whats that Robert Pollard album like?

I'm diggin the new Ben Folds right now.

[Eliminator]

more sun kil moon...


i hate you dmd

[YDload]

salvador sanchez was always a good song to me v:)v

everyone says duk koo kim is the best song but it's just the most epic. i like last tide/floating better :mad:

[metalicajaymz]

allow me to rank the songs!

1. Glenn Tipton
2. Salvador Sanchez
3. Duk Koo Kim
4. Last Tide/Floating (equally awesome in different ways)
5. Carry Me Ohio
6. Gentle Moon
7. Lily and Parrots
8. Pancho Villa
9. Si Paloma

argh I love this album so much

[Eliminator]

glenn tipton is definitely my favorite

my most played song according to last.fm

[mr_jackalope]

So the new Tom Waits box is pretty enjoyable 1 disc in. His cover of Sea of Love is a standout.

[mr_jackalope]

Also, he totally played "Lie to Me" when I saw him in July. I'd been wondering what the hell that one was...

[Little Man being Erased]

Has that actually been released or is that a naughty version?

[Zmev]

Prob naughty.

[YDload]

i forgot about this last.fm thing. i dont listen to much music on my computer anymore because my roommate is doing homework most of the time and i dont feel like headphones. i guess this is just whatever was on my ipod walking between classes :(

1 Sun Kil Moon 57
2 Sunny Day Real Estate 24
3 Dinosaur Jr. 23
4 Minus the Bear 19
5 The Flaming Lips 13
5 Embrace 13
7 The Replacements 12
8 Sparta 10
9 Meat Puppets 8
9 Television 8

[metalicajaymz]

One of the guys in my band has the Talking Heads Brick, which I was listening to. The remastering sounds ****ing excellent. Very clean, punchy and crisp. Pick this up if you're a fan.

[Zmev]

Duran Duran - Pop Trash

[Robert Crumb]

I spent most of this morning listening to Momus. I'd never heard anything by Momus before but pretty fun stuff, lives up to what I expected. Just some nice lo-fi synth pop.

[br3ad_man]

allow me to rank the songs!

1. Glenn Tipton
2. Salvador Sanchez
3. Duk Koo Kim
4. Last Tide/Floating (equally awesome in different ways)
5. Carry Me Ohio
6. Gentle Moon
7. Lily and Parrots
8. Pancho Villa
9. Si Paloma

argh I love this album so much

Gentle Moon is probably my favourite. There isn't a song on it that isn't awesome though. Salvador Sanchez is fantastic.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Squirrel Bait - Skag Heaven
Don Caballero - American Don
The Exploding Hearts - Guitar Romantic

[ATM]

How are the Exploding Hearts? I've been meaning to check them out.

[mr_jackalope]

Probably the best punk band of the last 10 or 15 years (punk in the Costello/Clash sense). Everyone should definitely hear the album, it's retardedly catchy and great.

[mr_jackalope]

Has that actually been released or is that a naughty version?

dirttty

And so, so good.

[asymm]

Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy
Supersilent - 6
Damn, I really love this record.

[AlienEater]

Killdozer - Burl Ives.

[pixiesfanyo]

I can't see listening to Tom Waits for three albums worth in a row.

It seems like it'd just be boring.

I'm digging His Hero is Gone atm.

[mr_jackalope]

I can't see listening to Tom Waits for three albums worth in a row.

It seems like it'd just be boring.

I'm digging His Hero is Gone atm.

Trust me, it completely rules. I've only done one disc of the 3 so far, but I followed it up with Alice and Swordfishtrombones and loved every moment of it.

[mr_jackalope]

Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy
Supersilent - 6
Damn, I really love this record.

Both of those are absolutely phenomenal, especially the second.

[pixiesfanyo]

I think I should probably hear 6

I keep on hearing raves about it.

It's like ambient **** right?

[Interstate]

Today has consisted mainly of KRS One & Big Pun.

[mr_jackalope]

It has ambient qualities, but it's more like avant-garde free improvisation. I'll hook you up with it on aim later if you want, just ask me once I get on, I have to go now.

[YDload]

Gentle Moon is probably my favourite. There isn't a song on it that isn't awesome though. Salvador Sanchez is fantastic.

Nacho what the hell is wrong with you, Glenn Tipton is boring and only serves to properly introduce the album. even Lily and Parrots is way better because it has some rock to it :)

1. Last Tide/Floating
2. Duk Koo Kim
3. Salvador Sanchez
4. Carry Me Ohio
5. Lily and Parrots
6. Gentle Moon
7. Glenn Tipton
8. Pancho Villa
9. Si Paloma

[pixiesfanyo]

Duk Koo Kim rules.

Salvador Sanchez is okay, but really the guitar tone on it is horrendous.

[YDload]

yeah i know what you mean, its got kind of a daytime soap opera feel to it :-/

i dont know why i used that analogy, but there you go. im just not big on the longest songs in a given album (like duk koo kim), so i'll always choose say... "Eriatarka" over "Cicatriz ESP" or "Parabola" over "Reflection" because i like it better when a band can cram everything it needs to say into a normal-length song.

[pixiesfanyo]

Did you just mention Tool?

You faggot.

[ATM]

Guitar Hero 2 - Ost
YOURCODENAMEISMILO - Print Is Dead Vol.1
Andre Nickatina and Equipto - Horns and Halos
Ben Folds - Supersunnyspeedgraphic

[asymm]

I think I should probably hear 6

I keep on hearing raves about it.
Definitely, it's almost perfect. If you find yourself even remotely enjoying 6, make sure you watch their DVD, 7. Watching these four Norwegian guys play is mesmerizing and truly inspiring.

[mr_jackalope]

7 is definitely the best purchase I've made in the last few months. I'm working on converting one of my roommates; at this point 6 is merely "okay"...

[Zmev]

Guitar Hero 2 - Ost

Ok who else is gonna buy this on Novewmber 7th? (not the soundtrack)

[Anxious]

I used to play Guitar Freaks at the arcade I worked at. I was a master no doubt. I recorded all the songs before I left. I'm thinking of buying a PS2 for it. Awesome songs.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I don't mean to be critical, just curious, but what exactly is the point of Guitar Hero? Wouldn't it be better (easier) just to play an actual guitar?

[Anxious]

Once you play it you won't say that. I don't associate it with playing real guitar in a any way, just a video game.

[Zmev]

Some songs (ie the solo for Megadeth) are much easier on real guitar, I dunno, its just way fun.

[Eliminator]

guitar hero is one of the dumbest games i've ever played

[pixiesfanyo]

why does it have hero in the title.

[Doctor D.]

why does it have hero in the title.

I've never played it, but I'm guessing you somehow save the day.

Ween - GodWEENSatan
MF DOOM - MM...FOOD

[ATM]

2 awesome albums. I like Fat Lenny.

[Zebra]

2 awesome albums. I like Fat Lenny.

Fat Lenny is pretty much the best song ever.

[Zmev]

I can never decide what the best Ween album is, they're all so good.

The English Beat - I Just Can't Stop It

[Eliminator]

chocolate and cheese and the mollusk are my favorite
but they dont' really have any bad albums

[Zmev]

Thats what makes them so good.

[pixiesfanyo]

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

[YDload]

Butthole Surfers- Locust Abortion Technician

this is comparatively one of the loudest albums on my computer and i didnt even adjust it at all. really makes "The O Men" a brutal song.

[Little Man being Erased]

I try to listen to Homework all the way through sometimes. It's a bit difficult though.

[Zmev]

I listened to Homework all the way through once.

And the first 4 tracks of Discovery = gold, + high life, something about us, veridis quo etc

[Eliminator]

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

hello dolly

[pixiesfanyo]

Xiu Xiu - Airforce

Wait a second, this is acutally good!

[mr_jackalope]

It is! I think it's probably my favorite by them now.

[Zmev]

Rapeman - Two Nuns and a Pack Mule

This is better than when I last listened to it.

[Little Man being Erased]

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Yeah I need more Wilco now.

[Zmev]

Jurassic 5 - Feedback

Why is Dave Matthews on this/living?

[Dave de Sylvia]

Jurassic 5 played here a few months ago and dropped their support act (a local hip hop group) because they didn't want to be supported by a group that plays "real instruments." I didn't find out about it until later anyway, but I thought it was pretty lame.

Today I've been listening to Hanoi Rocks, Rose Tattoo and Sinéad O'Connor. It's been that sort of day, whatever that's meant to imply.

[Kyle]

I'd quite like to hear the new J5 album, I never checked it out. I know people said it sucked, but I like all their other stuff so maybe it's worth a listen.

I've been listening to Regina Spektor all day. This woman is absolutely remarkable.

[Eliminator]

She's absolutely marketable.

but yeah she's good

i liked her performance on conan of fidelity

cute

[Kyle]

Heh, marketable indeed. But yeah that was quite a nice performance. The new album isn't particuarly strong though, Soviet Kitsch is where it's at.

[EightMilesHigh]

Why is Dave Matthews on this/living?

someone should just push him into a volcano and be done with it.

Descendents - Milo Goes To College

[The Jungler]

Cold War Kids - Robbers and Cowards.

[Zebra]

Radiohead - Amnesiac

I enjoy this more than Ok Computer.

I'd quite like to hear the new J5 album, I never checked it out. I know people said it sucked, but I like all their other stuff so maybe it's worth a listen.

It's worth listening to if you enjoy J5, but don't expect much. Feedback isn't exactly a bad album but it's not very good either.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Slint - Tweez
Gay For Johnny Depp - Blood: The Natural Lubricant (An Apocalyptic Adventure Beyond Sodom And Gomorrah)
Bright Eyes - Letting Off The Happiness
Cat Power - You Are Free
Khanate - It's Cold When Birds Fall From The Sky
The Sound Of Animals Fighting - Lover, The Lord Has Left Us...
Mastodon - Blood Mountain

Radiohead - Amnesiac

i also enjoy this more than OK Computer.

[mr_jackalope]

The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
Lambchop - What Another Man Spills
Ladyhawk - Ladyhawk
Os Mutantes - A Divina Comédia Ou Ando Meio Desligado

On first listen, the Ladyhawk album brought the rawk.

[pixiesfanyo]

Damien Rice - 9

Yeah, this is real good.

[biografiend]

Radiohead - Amnesiac

I enjoy this more than Ok Computer.



Me too; it's my favourite Radiohead and had caused me to get in many an argument.

I'm currently listening to a mixtape I made for my English teacher. She told me today that her dating criteria was that the man had to be able to spell and loved Tom Waits. Awesome.

[mr_jackalope]

The Bends is pretty lame and Pablo Honey blows, which, by math or something like that, make Kid A quite obviously their best album.

Seriously though, it's their only actually essential album.

[Zappa]

OK Computer is the best, silly everyone.

[mr_jackalope]

The Bends is 5 good songs surrounded by some of the most mediocre crap of their entire career. And those songs are only a glimpse at what they'd be doing a few years later.

The Bends: the most overrated album of the 90s.

[pixiesfanyo]

I hate ****ing brit rock.

[YDload]

The Bends is 5 good songs surrounded by some of the most mediocre crap of their entire career. And those songs are only a glimpse at what they'd be doing a few years later.

The Bends: the most overrated album of the 90s.

considering that most people don't even uphold The Bends, and OK Computer is usually considered the greatest album anywhere ever, I'd say the most overrated album of the 90s is pretty obvious.

and Nacho, which Cave-In album is that? is it the one where the first song is like "so welcome to the gates of heaven" or whatever??

[YDload]

yeah i think the one I've heard is Antenna

[AlienEater]

The Fire Engines - Fond.

[Dave de Sylvia]

The Smiths - Hatful Of Hollow
Sinéad O'Connor - Throw Down Your Arms

The latter brings me to my gripe for the day. Why do so many non-Jamaicans who sing reggae/ska songs put on the hammy accent? Does Matisyahu seriously think he's anything but irritating? Throw Down Your Arms is awesome.

[JonM]

Hell yeah, man. That's the best thing about that album; it's totally genuine.

[Happymeal]

The Takeovers - Turn to Red

Another '06 Robert Pollard release. I'm liking this, but it's too short.

Weird, my friend who's obsessed with shoegaze sent me a song of theirs a couple of days ago, which was "Triggering Back". I'm assuming Précis is worth a spin?

[Robert Crumb]

It's ok. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but I'm almost 90% sure it would sound better on a pair of headphones. "Triggering Back" seems like one of the better songs on the album on the first run through.

Anyone recommend me out? Cheers.

Also Blue, though I'm getting a bit sick of it. Green and Make Believe also, though they're not at all on the level of the first two.

Well done, sir!

[Luxor]

Embrace is better than Minor Threat but not Fugazi.

Elliot - U.S. Songs

Pretty good album, comparable to Sunny Day Real Estate. "Watermark High" belongs on any second-wave emo compilation, or whatever genre you want to pigeonhole it as. Great song.
I've been meaning to get something by them, but I always had in my head that they were a hardcore band. Weird. Sounds like I'll dig them anyway.

is it weird that i actually prefer this to both Minor Threat and Fugazi?

i havent heard enough Fugazi to make a definitive decision, but i really like that Embrace album.

[ATM]

[YDload]

can you ever hear enough Fugazi?

i have a love/hate elationship with this band. i think i'm one of the few people who actually thinks "Blue Monday" is among the worst songs ever.

Slowdive - Souvlaki

[Happymeal]

I say yes to Greek cuisine.

[mr_jackalope]

no sir I have not

I should get on that because these two albums are just completely awesome.

It's his best.

[team_racket]

the sound-from the lions mouth
joy division-unknown pleasures

[Little Man being Erased]

It's his best.
Yeah. But that's not to say that his other albums aren't great as well.

[Bukowski]

the sound-from the lions mouth
joy division-unknown pleasures
a certain ratio-the graveyeard and the ballroom

Yeah!

I'm still digging A Certain Radio quite a bit. Thank you to whoever reccomended them to me a while back (Anxious Mo-Fo?)

And also Unwound. They're my favorite band save for Sonic Youth, I've decided.

[YDload]

Pavement- S&E

Zurich is Stained and In the Mouth a Desert are the best songs AND THATS THAT

[pixiesfanyo]

Zurich is Stained is probably the best song ever written.

[Zmev]

I am finally enjoying a Pulp song not called "Common People"

[Little Man being Erased]

What's it called?

[sr800bkBassist]

Zurich is Stained is probably the best song ever written.

mhmmmm
it's so short but so delicious.

[Zmev]

What's it called?

Disco 2000, its taken me ages to like this here Different Class you folks seem to love

[Little Man being Erased]

Disco 2000, its taken me ages to like this here Different Class you folks seem to love
Yeah, "Disco 2000" rules. It took me a while to get into a lot of the tracks on Different Class but when it clicked, it clicked big time.

[Zmev]

Its doing that right now, I used to think I Spy was boring.

[Bartender]

Bodyrox - "Yeah Yeah"

I don't know why.

Earth - Hex; Or Printing in the Infernal Method
Moss Icon - Lyburnum and It Disappears
Tonton Macoute - Tonton Macoute

And lots of soul. I love soul.

[Kyle]

Minotaur Shock - Maritime

This is tight.

[Little Man being Erased]

Its doing that right now, I used to think I Spy was boring.
Yeah, so did I.

[Eliminator]

i listened to thunder, lightning, strike for the first time since summer

that album never fails to put me in a good mood

[Sleepy]

I've been digging The Decemberists for quite a while now. I found a Jaga Jazzist album floating around somewhere and that is some pretty fun stuff as well.

[mr_jackalope]

Today so far:

Mission of Burma - OnOffOn
Spoon - Gimme Fiction

[asymm]

Earth - Hex; Or Printing in the Infernal Method
Excellent. I love this record.

Today ... thus far:
Prefuse 73 - One Word Extinguisher
MoHa! - Raus Aus Stavanger
Used MoHa! to create my carbon-wash intaglio today ... it turned out pretty visceral, which is exactly what I was going for.

[Zebra]

Minotaur Shock - Maritime

This is tight.

I thought that it was really cool at first but the effect quickly wears off. The problem is that he resorts to the same old effects and even though they sound sublime at first he re-uses them to often.

[Jawaharal]

i listened to thunder, lightning, strike for the first time since summer

that album never fails to put me in a good mood

huh, I just listened to that. o_0

[sweboy]

Been digging Melt-Banana, Converge, Propagandhi. Melt-Banana are the rock.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Tyranny Of Distance
Patrick Wolf - Lycanthropy

Trumans Water

this band are very cool, kind of like early Pavement except even more fractured and disjointed. I saw them mentioned in the liner notes of Thurston Moore's Psychic Hearts, so I checked them out.

[Robert Crumb]

I played "When I See Mommy I Feel Like a Mummy" on my radio show today so I'm really in the mood for some Beefheart. But I don't have any on me. Also, Miho Hatori's album. Neat stuff that.

Great shoegaze/pop stuff.

Chad VanGaalen - Infiniheart
The Red Paintings - Walls EP
The Exploding Hearts - Guitar Romantic

such a good album. Chronograph #1 is a fabulous song

i'm big into the song "The Horse Used to Wear a Crown" by frog eyes

sooo cool.

[Iai]

Since I left....plenty of avant-garde stuff. Trevor Wishart more recently, but Stockhausen, Ligeti, Penderecki, and more traditional late 19th/early 20th century stuff like Debussy and Stravinsky too. And I've been going through a MAJOR Belle & Sebastian obsession too.

Right now, though, it's Black Sabbath - Paranoid.

[sexymuffin]

tindersticks - clermont ferrand

[Zmev]

Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go

[mr_jackalope]

Tindersticks rule all.

I've been listening to that Disco Inferno crap you were peddling about a month ago DMD. You were completely right, it rules all.

[Kyle]

Took me a long time to realize what an awesome pop song "Heart of Glass" is, but it finally hit me at work today, so I'm checking out Parallel Lines.I've only just been into that album for the last couple of months, but it's great. I think i'm gonna review it some time.

Also I've been digging;
Cursive - The Ugly Organ
Shpongle - Nothing Lasts...But Nothing Is Lost
Sun O))) and Boris - Altar

[mr_jackalope]

I like the one random almost-country song on Altar. The rest didn't compel me to listen again.

[Kyle]

I havn't listened to it thoroughly yet, but it's really great background music.

[asymm]

Beach House - Beach House
I keep thinking that this will eventually click and it has to a certain extent, but it's still a somewhat muddled listen and occasionally even uninteresting.

Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow
Low - Things We Lost in the Fire
Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels

It's always funny when Tindersticks get mentioned. DMD and jackalope always express either how great Tindersticks are or how proud they are of the listener.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Sinéad O'Connor - The Lion And The Cobra
Peter Gabriel - 1

[Bartender]

Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels

Is that good? I remember hearing a track from it on Untitled; 1970, and intended to make it my next Cocteau Twins purchase, but that plan seems to have fallen by the wayside.


Anyway, I've been continuing to dig plenty of soul, along with the new album Twin Zero managed to sneak out past me; it's even better than their first one, if you like that kind of thing, and Karl Middleton is still one of my favourite vocalists. I also listened to the Wildhearts' Geordie in Wonderland live album for the first time, but didn't dig it all that much. The songs are there (and it's a decent set), but everything else that makes the Wildhearts great (energy, character, banter, etc) seems to be missing. Not to mention the sound quality isn't exactly optimal. The best thing about it is the audience, really, who are spot on as ever, despite not being given much.

I'm also looking forward to digging the new Jools Holland later tonight.

[superpeer]

Boards of Canada
Tangerine Dream


O.o

[Kyle]

I'm also looking forward to digging the new Jools Holland later tonight.Gah, I don't have a TV licence at uni yet, i'm gonna miss the new series :(

[Dave de Sylvia]

Watch out for Duke Special on tonight's show, he's awesome.

[Robert Crumb]

Someone explain this English concept of a TV License to me.

Also, I'm listening to some Talking Heads.

[Bartender]

It's a once a year payment that means we get a couple of channels without adverts.

[Robert Crumb]

TV without ads? Totally un-American, would never fly over here. Sounds nice.

[asymm]

Is that good? I remember hearing a track from it on Untitled; 1970, and intended to make it my next Cocteau Twins purchase, but that plan seems to have fallen by the wayside.
Yeah, it's a great little record. A pretty dark atmosphere, with some of my favorite Cocteau Twins songs.

My physical copy has arrived!
Various - The World Is Gone

[Jawaharal]

Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
Bruce Springsteen - Live '75-'85

The live version of Badlands is wonderful.

[Anxious]

[Eliminator]

the pogues

[Zebra]

Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway

Meh. There are some great songs like "Salvador Sanchez" and "Gentle Moon" yet the overall product is just boring. I'll have to give it some more listens because this is my first time through.

[La Revolucion]

I just bought that album, and I'm going to have to agree with you.

Lately I've been liking the newest Brazilian Girls album a lot. Jazzy, loungish stuff but not half as boring as it sounds from that description.
