I never get bored of that album no matter how many times I play it.

The Raveonettes - [I]Pretty In Black[/I] - listened to this album today for only the second time, it's pretty good.

6k!:cool:

Non-Prophets aren't as good as I thought they'd be.

Agreed. But I still like them.

Ooh, it's mclusky sunday. So all mclusky, all day.

Pan*American - [i]Quiet City[/i]
Nine Horses - [i]Snow Borne Sorrow[/i]
Nils Økland - [i]Bris[/i]

and I watched the flick, [i]Happiness[/i]. It gets more and more humorous each time I see it.

Butthole Surfers
Negativland

The Pop Group
Ramones

The Pop Group are unbelievably amazing.

Yeah that they were.

It's been a Violent Femmes day.

I wish I could some find Violent Femmes albums other than the s/t and [I]Hallowed Ground[/I]. Not that I've heard many great things about the rest of their discography, it's just that I like those two albums a good deal and I'm interested in hearing where they went after [I]HG[/I].

[I]Freak Magnet[/I] by Violent Femmes is a pretty sweet album.

I've only ever heard one song by the Violent Femmes and I don't even recall what it was called. It was catchy, though.

Edit: Blister In The Sun was the title

Magneta Lane - "The Constant Lover"

Black Flag - The First Four Years

The different singers are very interesting. Keith Morris sounds like Iggy Pop and Chavo is pretty cool too.

Morris doesn't sound anything like Iggy. Pfft

Imagine if Keith had've sung when Ginn was in his prime, like 82-83'. That'd be awesome.

Rollins went good with Ginn, when he was good.

[QUOTE=robot]:thumb: Have you seen Palindromes?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I rented it last week actually. It was very interesting, I enjoyed it. All four Todd Solondz movies I saw were great, he's a very adventurous filmmaker.

Big Youth - Screaming Target
Elvis Costello - My Aim is True
Yo La Tengo - Prisoners of Love

Big Youth is really good.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Unwed Sailor is really, really good. Especially if you like post-rock of any variety.[/QUOTE]
Thats what I've been saying for agessssss. :)
I saw/met them over the summer and they were amazing live. Especially because they replaced the two guitars with pianos. Soooo good.

br3ad, I would recommend [i]Firecracker EP[/i] or [i]The Faithful Anchor[/i]. [i]The Marionette in the Music Box[/i] comes with a picture booklet and it more story oriented, which is sweet, but isnt necessarily as good.

I've been listening to alot of Broken Social Scene's s/t and Sigur Ros. I want to be totally Sigur Ros-ified when i see them in around 2,400 hours.

Richard Hell & The Voidoids - Blank Generation
Hot Snakes - Automatic Midnight
Ani DiFranco - Educated Guess

3 great albums. [i]Automatic Midnight[/i] is my favorite Snakes album at the moment. I love the energy this band has.

I'm gonna be listening to The Fall for the first time soon, once i get the rest of [i]Hex Enduction Hour[/i] from Anxious Mo-Fo on soulseek. I've heard alot of good things about them, so i'm anticipating this greatly.

I don't like that Fall album, but I love the Voidoids and Hot Snakes.

Yesterday was Prince and Outkast. Right now on some Julian Cope.

I'm digging the same stuff I have been all week.

Gustav Mahler's first symphony is something you should all hear right now, because it's unbelievable.

Chavo's era is the only one that matters.

I saw a performance of "Epistrophe" by Thelonius Monk.

Arranged for solo trombone.

Two trombone soloists.

Crazy eight balls, when was this?

My dad is a bass trombonist.

/contributes

I'm diggin some Ted Leo.

Last night. Performance by the Trinity Jazz Orchestra, but these guys were special guests.

One of them has played on hundreds of recordings as a session musician for people like Sinatra and even toured with Steely Dan in the 70s.

The other guy was supposedly the best trombone player in Japan.

Now I know trombones aren't meant for playing fast staccato notes very well, but these guys were tearing the place up.

A good trombone solo is usually really impressive.
