Erik B. & Rakim - Paid in Full

I don't know how many of you guys are into hip-hop and rap, but this album is classic and a definite must-have.

Malpractice9, I have to argue with you about best Nick Drake albums, and put Bryter Later on top. Of course every single one of his recordings are amazing, I enjoy the jazzy sounds and experimentation on his sophomore album.

Once again I encourage anyone who's into alt/indie rock to try and hunt down The Amazing Verticalville's album. I might get annoying pushing this CD, but they deserve more popularity, 'cause they just rock...so hard.

i personally came to know nick drake backwards (pink moon, bryter layter, five leaves), however after hearing that album i couldn't shake the heartache he felt over the lack of success of his previous albums. The other cds offer a more dynamic and intricate sound, but pink moon.. is just so real. I can't overlook the context. His defences have broken down and he's about to fall. His singing and guitar are both haunting and bare.
End point: all his cds are works of art.

current song: things behind the sun by drake

it really is a shame he was never around to see how much people ended up appreciating his music.

[QUOTE=malpractice9]wheelz, br3ad man, sound boy, bandaid.. thanks for the warm welcome guys.
Notwist - "one with the freaks" is the song of choice at the moment.. a most terrific song, indeed.[/QUOTE]

No problem. Great song you've got there too.

about 8 of Fu Manchu's albums

I've been diggin' Blur a lot lately. Funny thing is that I've had about 3 of their albums for a good years, and never paid too much attention except to Parklife.

I've been kicking out to the Zutons recently

[QUOTE=Zappa]^Out of the rap rut. Good.[/QUOTE]

I still listen to it, allthough it's not what I listen to the most. Anymore.

Right now I'm digging a tribute to Lenord Cohen. John Cales version of Hallelujah is brilliant.

Quasi. "Featuring Birds" is a wonderful blast of slightly rough indie pop.

I bought the new TMV album today and just put it in. Sounds good thus far. Prior to this, I was listening to the new Robbers on High Street album, Tree City. I was very impressed by that one.

The Unicorns, The Mars Volta, Trail Of Dead, Stars, Alexisonfire....

M83 - Before the Dawn Heals Us

got my first taste of the Afghan Whigs today, it tasted good

i like bloc party.

also lately listening to mogwai and eits.

Ted Leo and the RX's [I]Shake the Sheets[/I] is soo gooood.

Ive been listening to a lot of incubus the new cd

Pavement, and Neutral Milk Hotel.

Amazon had these two bands top of the "Lo-Fi" section, an they'd received great reviews, so I decided to check them out.

After a few listens, I can now count these two albums among my best ever.
People, if you've not heard these bands, you really should check them out if you get a chance.

I have Crooked Rain Crooked Rain, Slanted & Enchanted, and In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. All of them are 3-star albums for me. Loads of people on here love them though.

Today I was digging Elton John's greatest hits, Rufus Wainwright's Want Two, and some Smiths. Suggest some stuff to listen to that will reinstall my masculinity and heterosexual leanings.

morrissey - you are the quarry

65 days of Static, mCbItching I must say.

Like EItS collide with something else, probably a keyboard with a stammer.

I bought Frances the Mute and Kind of Blue yesterday...too much greatness. Of course, my Kind of Blue has a big-*** scratch on it (straight from the case, mind you) that causes Freeloader Freddy and Blue In Green to skip like a couple of biatches.

Moon Safari lately.

Frances the Mute, of course.

^I heard it's cheap like De-Loused. I might buy it this weekend.

You can send it to me on AIM when you get it, happy.

I got it yesterday for $15.90 AU. That is cheap as heck.

Live at Mississippi Nights 100 - Mars Volta

Probably the best recorded show they've ever done.

Sure Alex.

Brainiac's [I]Bonsai Superstar[/I] leaves me in awe.
