the beatles - rubber soul
the beatles - revolver
the beatles - sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band

of course all of these albums are awesome--specifically, really digging 'drive my car', 'norwegian wood', 'i'm only sleeping', 'here there and everywhere', 'tomorrow never knows', 'within you without you', and 'a day in the life' (best ending to a song ever).

also, FiRES WERE SHOT - solace--absolutely immense; new review coming soon.

yo la tengo - popular songs

Daughters s/t and pyramids s/t

both very gewd noise rock.

star****er is pretty cool

I recently found a compilation of songs which appears to be really interesting; it is called Man & A Machine II, (it exists also Man & A Machine I) and you can find a number of songs of the punk, alternative and indie culture of the past. Artists like Suicide, Cabaret Voltaire, PIL, Laurie Anderson, Yello, Talking Heads and more. Tell me what you think...

You could listen to Hifiklub, a french group that released last month their second album 'How to make friends', I find it amazing! It's rock, electro, pop and you can dance like crazy listening to their music.

Have you ever heard of James Chance? He was one of the creators of the New York no wave scene, has collaborated with many artists like Lydia Lunch and Brian Eno; his new album entitled The Fix Is In is now out in a label called Le Son du Maquis which released some months ago the last record of A Certain Ratio. This album is a tribute to jazz and r'n'b so I think you should listen to it if you want to discover jazz music.

UGK - Underground Kingz

Banging this hard the past few days and probably for the next few weeks as well. Mostly the first half anyways. "The Game Belongs to Me" works wonders for me when I work out/go running.

The Fall - Complete Peel Sessions

[QUOTE=Time;17942554]Big Boi - "Shine Blockas" and "Shutterbug"[/QUOTE]

yes and yes at this rate the album should be amaziing, both are fantastic beat to shutterbugg is sick

New The New Pornographers album is really good.

Craw - Lost Nation Road (awesome metal infused math-rock)
Monolake - Momentum (awesome hi-fi electronic music)
Bark Psychosis - Hex (awesome talk-talk knock off)

I've always related bark and talk but I don't think there's any off knocking or anything, they're both pretty amazing. Did you hear bark psychs second one codename dustsucker? Untouchable, and no hint of talk talk

I'm working on getting that one. The similarities are in the production sensibilities and the weak british vocals (not a bad thing)

nah yea hex at times sounds a lot like some spirit of eden or laughing stock but mediaf1re.com/?jezvztynk1h

also mediaf1re.com/?5442jw1ydzo

ween - she wanted to leave (reprise)

something about this song is so moving

hex is an understated gem, nothing about it knocking off indeed. still need to listen to dustsucker

Reminds me of old Ratatat.

Minus the Bear - Omni

Would have probably hated this 3-4 years ago, I'm surprised how much I'm liking this so far. Guess I am getting old...

i do hate it currently never been younger

i've only heard a couple of songs from it. i probably wont like it as much as the first two albums that got me into MTB, but as long as they stay chill and keep that "nocturnal" sound i wont feel too bad

Is this new?

beatles - past masters

vol 1 is aight i guess; the problem is that--and i am aware that this is because it is a collection of [i]singles[/i]--it gets very grating. i'm not actually a huge fan of too many of the songs that i hadn't already known from incessant playing during my childhood ('i want to hold your hand' (which rules), 'she loves you', 'love me do', 'from me to you') except for a few--'i want to hold your hand' b-side 'this boy' being one of them (love those harmonies!). 2nd disc (still 1st volume) is honestly full of songs in which it's much too understandable why they didn't make it onto an original album; i.e. they kind of suck. not horrific, but honestly worse than most of their early stuff on the actual albums anyway--which means that anyone who 'hates' early beatles will hate them even more with this. 'long tall sally' is good and i think i might be liking 'yes it is' and 'i call your name' (i posit uneasiness with this opinion only because they both need more listens), but overall the disc is quite lacking. so overall fun stuff for early beatles fans--of which i am in the 'kind of' category. not bad stuff, just not revelatory (and not quite fun enough to make up for that).
