Who is he?[/QUOTE]

It's really hard for me to try and describe him so.....

[QUOTE=All Music Guide]The brain-damaged electro-funk of Gary Wilson was new wave when the label was still mainly used to categorize punk acts with a sweet tooth for pop. Completely ahead of his time, Wilson used chilly synthesizers and bizarre sound effects and samples to tell his odd tales of love and sex. In 1977, Wilson recorded his debut LP You Think You Really Know Me in the basement of his parents' house in Endicott, NY. Home tapings started becoming prevalent in the '90s, but in the late '70s, Wilson was an indie pioneer, releasing a strange lo-fi record that eventually influenced Beck. Moreover, the LP inspired Olympia, WA, college radio station KAOS to spin underground artists, helping to cultivate a taste for non-commercial music that later gave birth to K Records and Sub Pop. Legendary Seattle DJ Stephen Rabow even presented one of Wilson's gigs in the early '80s. Wilson toured with his group, the Blind Dates, at times covering their bodies on-stage with flour. But the masses were not ready for Wilson's eccentricities. Wilson did not release a follow-up to You Think You Really Know Me; nevertheless, the album's cult status grew as years passed. Finally, in 2003, Motel Records released Forgetten Lovers, a follow-up album of sorts assembled from Wilson's previously unreleased material, rarities, and vinyl-only pressings from 1973 to 1982, further solidifying Wilson's stance as the unsung hero of indie rock. The new record Mary Had Brown Hair was released in 2004 on Stones Throw.

Listening to their latest after this reminds me how far they've fallen.

[QUOTE=Parfait][I]Electric Warrior[/I] makes plenty of fun.

I listened to a lot of Bill Evans today, because of Robert Crumb.[/QUOTE]

That it does dear sir.

[QUOTE=asymm]Serena-Maneesh - [i]Serena-Maneesh[/i][/QUOTE]I tend to lose interest in it at times, but all in all, I've really enjoyed that album. "Drain Cosmetics" is the perfect opener.

And to add to the T. Rex discussion, [i]Electric Warrior[/i] has one of the most appropriate covers ever.

Ha yeah, it's actually one of my favorite covers aswell.

P.S. Damn it, I love DOA.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]I've been listening to lots of Christmas stuff on the radio. And Phil Collins. Every radio station around here plays Phil Collins, Phil Collins and more Phil Collins in the run-up to Phil Collins Hour.[/QUOTE]
Everywhere I go I hear Christmas music, but I have yet to hear "Fairytale of New York" anywhere in public. I'm convinced no one knows it in Canada.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]They hate America I think. Anything with New York in the title is a no-no; they just ally themselves with the terrorists and listen to happy ramadan tunes instead.[/QUOTE]

Billy Bragg - [I]Talking With the Taxman about Poetry[/I]
Blackalicious - [I]The Craft[/I]

i saw DEP, BTBAM, and HORSE a couple weeks ago... it was good, but people tell me DEP's old singer was better. I'm a tool, so i'll blindly agree with them.

The day after i went to seed the appleseed cast. a band called piglet (they were kinda "instrumental-indie-math-post-something-core" or whatever you wanna call it) opened up for them and kind of stole the show. so i've been listening to alot of them lately, along with volta do mar and ghosts and vodka... as well with appleseed cast.

Piglet are playing a show with my friend's band next month. They sound interesting, I might have to check them outtt.

Death Cab for Cutie - [i]We have the Facts and We're Voting Yes[/i]

The Laurie Anderson is very interesting and intriguing but quite good so far.

Leftover Crack - F[I]u[/I]ck World Trade
MBV - [I]Loveless[/I]

Also I'm trying out [I]2012[/I] by Old Time Relijun, it sounds fresh so far. It's the first I've heard from them. One of the more unique albums of 2005 (no-wave revival?)? I think so.

Talking Heads - [I]Talking Heads: 77[/I]
Television - [I]Live at the Old Waldorf[/I]

Rage Against The Machine - Evil Empire.

I am re-discovering my love for RATM. I listened to People Of The Sun today and it made me want to punch a hole in my wall.

It's a pretty groovy album but I always liked the sound that BofLA had.

Man Man have made my day. They are soo good. It if Tom Waits were a teenage gypsy. Go listen. And if you must prod, I'll hook you up. Gimmie a chit chat on the AIM: Karn07

Great avatar.

Great album also.

On the subject of RATM: I rediscovered my love for all of their albums recently too.

Now:
Augie March - [i]Strange Bird[/i]
- Brought up in the correlation of band to user thread. Just perpetuating that, I guess

In the car driving home:
The Clientele - [i]Strange Geometry[/i]
Guided By Voices - [i]Hold On Hope[/i] EP
Guided By Voices - [i]The Pipe Dreams of Instant Prince Whippet[/i] EP
Galaxie 500 - [i]On Fire[/i]
- A lot of my recent usuals...

Been listening to some Thomas Newman today, specifically the scores to "Shawshank Redemption" and "American Beauty". Gosh they're good.

Returning to some of my tried and true albums.

Isis - Celestial
Mogwai - Happy Songs
Olivia Tremor Control - both main albums

Worlds Apart is better than Source Tags.

Fugazi - The Argument

Ex-Spectator kicks ***. It's a weird Fugazi album, but of course still better than you.

[QUOTE=Luxor]Worlds Apart is better than Source Tags.[/QUOTE]

I think I'm enjoying Worlds Apart more. I need to give them both more listens, though.
And I like their The Secret Of Elena's Tomb EP too. If only for [I]Intelligence[/I].

fIREHOSE - If'n
Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets II
