I think a few people probably have.

The new Decemberists album is wicked, I'm loving it right now thanks to Tangy/Swami. I'm also liking Elbow's latest album.

[QUOTE=Well_Respected_Man]Why Didn't someone tell me how good Beck's Odelay is?[/QUOTE]

I did, but my musical taste is not to be trusted.

I've been listening through my lastest haul for most of today. Best of the bunch;

Talking Heads - Fear of Music
Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues
Elvis Costello - This Year's Model
Leftover Crack - Fu[font=verdana]c[/font]k World Trade

Haven't yet listened to Guero, though.

Listen to it and tell me if it's worth buying. I heard bits of it in a record store last week and thought it sounded pretty good.

I've been listening to A Minor Forest and stuff like Cap'n Jazz, Joan of Arc, American Football, and June of 44.

Estradasphere.

^Great album. Some of the songs (like Girlfriend Clothes) are so good to hear played live, mostly since I've not heard them live in person before. I'm not sure if it's the best live record they've done, though.

Going from the intro and first verse of the first track; it is, very much so. I'll get back to you tomorrow with a more detailed take on it, though.

Polvo - [I]Today's Active Lifestyles[/I]
The Decemberists - [I]Picaresque[/I]
Agalloch - [I]The Mantle[/I]

[QUOTE=IhateUsernames]Choking Victim > Leftover Crack.[/QUOTE]

True story.

Maybe so, but Leftover Crack seem to be a lot more easily available, which influences what I buy quite heavily. And [i]Fu[font=verdana]c[/font]k World Trade[/i] is a good album regardless.

Yeah (though I only have one bootleg :-/). The choice of material is pretty good though, and I can't fault the cover art at all.

Picked it up today:

Prefuse 73 - [i]Surrounded By Silence[/i]

I don't like it, I actually regret buying it.

But a couple of other people I've talked to think it's great, so whatever, you might like it.

Hmmmmm. Thanks for making my decision no easier. :)

listened to the Echoes cd by the Rapture.. lovin that to bits.
also gave QOTSA's SFTD a spin to prep myself for L2P.

currently: Radiohead - Climbing up the walls.. lordy lordy, this song haunts me.. incredible

Niceness. Two thumbs up.

a-thank ya LMBE!
myxamatosis just came on my playlist:
"don't know why i feel so skinned ... alive"

Ahh... man I haven't listened to that album in aaaaaages.

mmmm radiohead binge
*takes another hit

Im binging on what seems to be the current indie forum darling, The Decemberists - Picaresque

I've listened through it a couple of times now, without skipping anything..as far as I can tell, he hasn't put a foot wrong throughout the whole thing. Listening to it further might reveal weaknesses in replay value, but first impressions are very good, though, if you like [i]Sea Change[/i] Beck more than [i]Odelay![/i] Beck, you might be disappointed, I suppose. It's a lot closer to the hip hop-influenced, good-times-all-round thing he had going earlier on, than it is the singer-songwriter. And going by Tomahawk's reaction, it's possible that it's just bad, and I'm just initially misjudging it somehow.

^That's good enough for me

~puts it on the to-buy list~

Digging:

They Might Be Giants

I finally got around to giving [i]Funeral[/i] a good listen (very late, I know). I like it.

Good enough for me too. I sure am gonna get this one.

Well I've got Trans Am/****ing Champs tonite, so I've been rockin [I]IV[/I], [I]V[/I] and [I]Surrender to the Light[/I] all day.

Kablaam!

I Like The Monks.

It's Monk Time.

For now I'm listening to the B-52s self-titled, and enjoying it though I am, I think I may die from an overdose of stupid.

My friend gave me a TMBG c.d. and ****, they're pretty okay. Like the M.R. as well.
Lately I've been digging a lot of: The Libertines, The Strokes, The Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, The Clash, The Dead Kennedys, and The Kinks.

going to the store to buy :
stars : set yourself on fire
the walkmen : bows + arrows
the shins : oh, inverted world
the shins : chutes too narrow

my wallet is soon to be anorexic

wow, "the past and pending" by the shins is terribly incredible

[QUOTE=Well_Respected_Man][B]Official Dagage:[/B]
Comets on Fire - Hazy Field Recordings
[/QUOTE]

You mean [i]Field Recordings from the Sun[/i]? Did you mess up again (after the The Monks blunder), or is that some similarly titled release I'm not aware of?

But whatever, I just finished listening to [i]Blue Cathedral[/i], and they finally clicked with me. Greeeaat stuff. I'll probably spin it again later to celebrate the clickingness.

I've also been diggin' on GYBE lately. [i]Lift Yr. Fists[/i] and [i]Slow Riot[/i].

I'm digging The Pixies today. I'm making CDs for my friends before we go to Reading, so that they know a bit about each band before they decide who to see. So I figured I'd indulge myself, too.

Tonight = Iron Maiden.

I'm listening to The Killers. What fun.

Who, funnily enough, will appear at Reading right before The Pixies.

Luckily all my friends already have their album, so I won't need to copy that one for anybody.

I hear they suck live.
