Moldy Peaches
Bethany Curve

Gospel - [i]The Moon is a Dead World[/i]

Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah.

Whoa. I expected Common to own this week. Didn't realise I'd listened to The Ugly Organ that much.

Anyway, today's listening.

Four Tet - Rounds (4/5)
The Jolly Rogers - Demo (3.5/5)
Nujabes / Fat Jon - Departure (2.5/5 - it'd be a 4 if it had a vocalist)
The Decemberists - Castaways & Cutouts (3.5/5)

Heard alot of good things about Andrew Bird...what do you recommend by him?

I only have The Mysterious Production Of Eggs. It's definitely worth checking out.

I was away so I didn't listen to much music apparently. I don't know who Michael Andrews is. Hmm.

Pretty crap week. [I]Illinois[/I] is a cool album.

Mad World. Donnie Darko. That guy.

[QUOTE=Iai]Mad World. Donnie Darko. That guy.[/QUOTE]
Oh yeah that's a cool version. Thanks.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Ghost - [i]Hypnotic Underworld[/i]

this kind of sucks. I'm disappointed.[/QUOTE]

I only heard one song from them, and I loved it.

Fugazi - [I]The Argument[/I]
The Futureheads - [I]S/T[/I] (after Nacho saying it was good the whole way through I decided to listen again. And he's right. :p )


First listens of:
KT Tunstall - [I]Eye To The Telescope[/I] - I was expecting this to be really crap but I'm over half way through and it's surprisingly good. (4/5)
Anthony And The Johnsons - [I]I Am A Bird Now[/I] (4-4.5/5)

Next up is Brendan Benson - [I]The Alternative To Love[/I] - I'm excited about this album as I downloaded two songs and absolutely loved them.


[QUOTE=Iai]I only have The Mysterious Production Of Eggs. It's definitely worth checking out.[/QUOTE]

I tried to download that twice from the YSI thread and each time it got to 95% and then 'completed' itself. My pc sucks :upset:

Vinny Miller - Pigpen 7"
{[url="http://www.vinnymiller.com/download/index.html"]download[/url]}

Everyone should download Vinny Miller's little single for the last song, "Bagged And Tagged". It's gorgeous. His music is mostly acoustic singer/songwriter stuff. But, this debut 7" is much more eclectic than his full release is.

My bands lately
1. Muse
2. Dredg
3. At the Drive In

Very odd mix... but all so great.

Buck 65's [I]Talkin' Honky Blues[/I] is totally excellent.

Also:
The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan

Sage Francis
Gym Class Heroes
The Most Serene Republic

Helmet

Xinlisupreme - Murder License
Xinlisupreme - Tomorrow Never Comes
Tiger Army - TA3: Ghost Tigers Rise

Much thanks to the excellent TalkingHead for recommending/uploading Xinlisupreme. They are an awesome Japanese post rock/noise rock band.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Devendra Banhart - [i]Cripple Crow[/i][/QUOTE]
Same.

I'm only on my first listen through but I'm very glad that the Banhart is experimenting within his realm of style. It's still distinctly him, but the changes are evident and a very solid progression from where he was.

Since my last post I've listened to [I]Talkin' Honky Blues[/I] again, a bunch of random stuff, and then Elliott Smith's [I]Roman Candle[/I].

I'm in love with the one 20 Minute Loop song I've heard. I need to get [I]Yawn + House = Explosion[/I].

I finally got [i]Roman Candle[/i]. Elliott's best work pixies? C'mon.

I think it's great, but not his best. [I]XO[/I] still holds that place for me, but I haven't got the self-titled album or [I]Either/Or[/I] yet.

I'm still lacking [i]Roman Candle[/i], but I definitely view [i]Either/Or[/i] as easily his best. Easily.

[I]Either/Or[/I] and [I]XO[/I] are the best Elliott albums. [I]Roman Candle[/I] has ups and downs, and those other two really just have ups.
