[QUOTE=NachoChez]Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy (6.9/10)[/QUOTE]

I like them more than Bright Eyes.

I've been so allured by Fugazi, Against Me! and The Slackers lately. Especially The Slackers.

The Nercos

[QUOTE=lostandalone2]What I've listened to for the first time today:

1 Speed Bike - [I]Droopy Butt Begone![/I] (8.5/10)[/QUOTE]

I'd probably give that a 7/10... :-/

Yuppy Resturant Goers Beware..., My Kitchen Is..., and The Day That Mauro Ran Over Elwy Yost are really good. A few tracks are meh and the rest sound the same.

A third of the album sounds like Can sans everything but percussion.

New Malkmus record is good.

Thom Yorke's concert!

John Coltrane - [I]A Love Supreme[/I] (10/10)[/QUOTE]

Devin Davis- Lonely people of the world, unite!!!

This album just floors me everytime I listen to it. It's filled with saxaphones, pianos and backup singers (Every instrument was recorded by Devin Davis, btw). The whole album is around 35 minutes, (most songs are around 3 minutes long) which means there is rarely a dull part in any song, and can go from a 60's brit invasion sound to Pink Floyd psychedellia too pop punk in an instant. The lyrics are another standout thing on this album, dealing with everything from vikings to pirates to a turtle that helps a flightless bird.
This is one of the best records I've heard all year, and I'm pretty sure I already know whos going to be on the top of my 'best album of 2005' list.

That sounds pretty interesting, I'm gonna check it out.

I've downloaded a couple songs from his website. I like his stuff. When he does that little "wooo-o-woo-a-whoo" on "Deserted Eyeland," I think of Stephen Malkmus. I mean to pick the album some time.

The samples on the Shpongle website from the new album. I'm also digging their old stuff in anticipation.

I don't like the new Shpongle samples at all, I'm sad.

Squarepusher is about the only electronic s[COLOR=White]h[/COLOR]it I can take these days.

I must have been in a really weird mood because I was thinking I was going to hate it but I played it on my mp3 player just walking round the house doing random stuff and loved it. Maybe it was just a weird day.

Weird.

I know, it is weird. I've kinda gone off all modern electronica. I can still take Aphex Twin and slight doses of DJ Shadow, but Autechre, Squarepusher and Prefuse 73( and other monikers) is all I listen to frequently.

I'm a Shpongle and Squarepusher only kind of guy, basically.

Mr. Bungle is cool. I need to get "California" right away.

I always thought you liked them Ian?

Anyways, just found a Jerk With a Bomb record. They're cool, but not Black Mountain cool.

Has anyone checked out the new Julian Cope album yet? It's pretty bada[I]s[/I]s, probably his best since [I]Jehovah Kill[/I].

I really like Prefuse 73.

Yeah but I don't have the album yet. Originally I was gravitating toward Disco Volante but now I think California has more of the focused quirkiness I was looking for.

Devin Townsend - [i]Terria[/i]
Afghan Whigs - John the Baptist

That's about all I've had time for.

I'm seriously loving Iron & Wine's Woman King EP.

Amazing stuff, right there.

That girl has an awesome voice, reminds me somewhat of the cranberries.

ARCADE FIRE!!!!@!$#%#^ seriously, these guys are friggen awesome. Bowie proclaimed funeral "the best album of 2004"

That's a great EP.

I'm listening to a lot of Guero by Beck lately.

What I've listened to today (so far):

A Silver Mount Zion - [I]Pretty Little Lightning Paw EP[/I] (It's pretty good but it's a bit different from their other stuff.)

ZZ Top - [I]El Loco[/I]

Beck - [I]Guero[/I] (listening to it for the first time, just listened to the first 2 tracks - brilliant stuff)

ZZ Top don't get much love these days, I'm glad to see you dig 'em lostandalone.

Their 3 earliest records are the ****.

Coldplay's new album is a funny one. There is some good stuff and some godawful stuff. I'd say that overall, they've gone down. The new album has some of the best stuff yet though.

I was surprised that it hasn't been heralded as the best rock album since [I]OK Computer[/I].

I mean, they are the new Radiohead aren't they??

Apparently.

I've never liked Coldplay (except [I]Trouble[/I], that shizz cuts me deep) so I'll give you my opinion now.

The album huffs a fat one.

I never thought of Coldplay as being a "Matty band".

Hehe, yeah I loves me some distortion.

You know who I do kinda like though? Travis.

I listened to their album a couple times on a car trip the other day, it's nice. 6.5/10.

I find Travis pretty mediocore. Pretty nice though. 6/10


I'm going to bed man. Talk to you later.

Love, Peace & Chicken Grease.

D[I]a[/I]mn straight! :cool:

I heard the new Foo's album yesterday. Well, the first disc at least. It was a bit meh really.

yesterday was a day for:

Autechre - Amber
Four Tet - Pause
Minor Threat - Complete Discography

Worst song on [I]Guero[/I] award goes to: Broken Drum.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]Love, Peace & Chicken Grease.[/QUOTE]

*points at avatar*

I can't find that CD [I]anywhere[/I]. Better than [I]Feast of Wire[/I]? A little less eclectic I'd say.

[QUOTE=Bukowski]I've been lovin the new Foo Fighters song, Best of You. It's easily the best song i've heard from them. New album should be good hopefully.[/QUOTE]

Best song I've heard from them is [I]Monkey Wrench[/I].
