It's a Jam kind of day.

Neu! - Neu! (3.5/5)
Handsome Boy Modeling School - So....How's Your Girl? (3/5)
X-Japan - Dahlia (3.5/5)

Nothing too amazing, but some good, solid stuff.

Actually I think Neu! is more like a 3/5.

I've been listening to [i]Daydream Nation[/i] a lot lately, and [i]De-Loused in the Comatorium[/i].

[QUOTE=NachoChez][B]Lungfish - [i]Pass and Stow[/i] [/B]
Futureheads - [i]s/t[/i][/QUOTE]

That's a good album. I like [I]Sound in Time[/I] and [I]Rainbows from Atoms[/I] aswell.

High-Back Chairs - [I]Of Two Minds[/I]
Olivia Tremor Control - ...[I]Dusk At Cubist Castle[/I]

Another money album. It's an odd release for Dischord because it strides the line of power popish sort of stuff.

Dog 07-26-2005 01:09 PM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]School me on the High-Back Chairs. I've heard the name thrown around.[/QUOTE]
The album is great. High-Back Chairs are kind of like power pop with a dash of post-hardcore(weird combonation, but it works). In the past I've tried finding a backstory on them and didn't have much luck, but I [I]think[/I] that Jeff Nelson was their drummer. They only released this and [I]Curiosity & Relief[/I](EP) which is a shame. I think you would like them.

Correct, J Nelson was their drummer.

Mr Observations 07-26-2005 03:26 PM

HBC are a cool sounding band. I like them.

I listened to dEUS and Husker Du today. It was good stuff, much like donuts (with added sugar ofcourse).

I think New day Rising is my favorite Husker Du album now.

Oh, and about Neu!, well they're good, but i think of them as a poor man's Can.

Iai 07-26-2005 03:30 PM

Well, there's some great moments on that album (first 4 minutes of Negativland, for instance). It's just not consistent enough.

But I prefer Can. And Amon Duul II, who get nowhere near enough love here.

Mr Observations 07-26-2005 03:38 PM

Yeah, i do like Neu, but yeah Can are much better, i think.

I'll check out Amon Duul II, who i've never heard before. i also need to look up Faust, another Kraut band.

Iai 07-26-2005 03:44 PM

Yeah, I need to check out Faust too.

Back on topic - I just downloaded all the B-sides from Gentlemen, coz I'm a fanboy like that. There's some interesting stuff, but nothing too special.

Oh, and I'm giving the DJ Muggs solo record another chance. It's better than I remember it being. And I just realized - not only does Greg Dulli guest on it, but it's on a remix of my favourite Twilight Singers song.

Little Man being Erased 07-26-2005 03:48 PM

[QUOTE=Bukowski]I'm diggin Beck's Guero, it's better than i first thought, it's real cool.[/QUOTE]
Same here.


Also dug [I]Ziggy Stardust[/I] last night.

Dog 07-26-2005 04:00 PM

[QUOTE=Mr Observations]Oh, and about Neu!, well they're good, but i think of them as a poor man's Can.[/QUOTE]
Haha, true. I like a couple of Neu! albums but Can is way better

Zappa 07-26-2005 04:01 PM

Yes, [I]Nothing Lasts...But Nothing is Lost[/I] is great.

Iai 07-26-2005 04:02 PM

Knew you'd love it. :)

Little Man being Erased 07-26-2005 04:44 PM

I just listened to some songs by 20 Minute Loop and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and I love them both.

The Suicide S/T is money my friend.

DogInTheBanned 07-26-2005 07:57 PM

Indeed it is. Both of their S/T's are, in fact.

The NPC 07-26-2005 08:03 PM

[QUOTE=DogInTheBanned]Indeed it is. Both of their S/T's are, in fact.[/QUOTE]

Tis true.

I just bought Death From Above 1979 - [I]You're A Woman, I'm A Machine[/I] today, I'm really digging it a lot.

Zappa 07-26-2005 10:13 PM

[QUOTE=DogInTheBanned]
Suicide - [I]Suicide[/I][/QUOTE]

I listened to this one once and decided it was trashbin material.

DogInTheBanned 07-26-2005 10:18 PM

[QUOTE=Zappa]I listened to this one once and decided it was trashbin material.[/QUOTE]
I'd give it a relatively high rating, probably 4/5. To each his own, I guess.

Since my last post I've been digging Slint's [I]Spiderland[/I].

Zappa 07-26-2005 10:22 PM

Now there's a record I can sink my teeth and angsty face into!

Zappa 07-26-2005 10:45 PM

I'm listening to [I]Nevermind[/I] for I guess the first time. Thought I'd played it before, but now it seems that's not true. I always hated [I]In Utero[/I], but this record seems to at least mildly rock and also seems to suck very rarely if at all.

DogInTheBanned 07-26-2005 10:56 PM

[I]Nevermind[/I] and [I]In Utero[/I] don't do it for me. I guess I need to check out [I]Bleach[/I](I don' know why I haven't yet, seeing as it seems to get a pretty good amount of praise around here).
