[QUOTE=Zappa]I'm going to see The Danilo Perez Trio tonight, so I'm listening to some audio clips. He's a Panamanian jazz pianist. I've never heard him before now, but these samples make me think this is going to be a great concert.[/QUOTE]
My dad has played me some stuff of his. He's really good.

ATM 03-18-2006 06:12 PM

Yea, Show Your Bones is pretty nice.

Bukowski 03-18-2006 06:46 PM

Liars - Drum's Not Dead

This has grown on me so so much. Still some weaker moments, but definitely a great album.

NOFX - Never Trust a Hippy

Their new EP which i'm listening to for old times' sake. It's pretty good, much better than the majority of their last album. I hope the new album continues in this vane.

Robert Crumb 03-18-2006 07:29 PM

My week has mostly consisted of Prefuse 73 and X. I got an album from this rap group from Senegal that I've been listening to too, Wegeble. There are some umlats in there or something. Not bad, a little uneven. I don't really get into non-english hip hop much. I don't know why. They could use some boom-bappier beats.

Bartender 03-18-2006 08:04 PM

Jesu - Heart Ache
Jesu - Jesu

As I've just found they've a new EP set for release next month. News which both fills me with joy and, upon further inspection, a little fear.

Little Man being Erased 03-18-2006 08:13 PM

[QUOTE=Tomahawk]Been listening to a bunch of alt-country type stuff lately. Very much Drive By Truckers, who are becoming one of my favourite bands.[/QUOTE]
Me too, I can't get enough of this stuff. Drive By Truckers are ace.

[QUOTE=Luxor]Q And Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep[/QUOTE]

I've listened to that album many times, and it was just annoying. I might give it another chance.

Talking Heads - Remain in Light

"Knock, knock"
"Who's there?"

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]I don't like Harper, nor do I understand why other people like him. Will this change my mind?[/QUOTE]

Probably not.

What do you not like about him (other thanmost of his singles, cuz they're pretty crap).??

pixiesfanyo 03-19-2006 04:21 PM

^ no one cares.

Joy Division - Peel Sessions

Yum.

Little Man being Erased 03-19-2006 06:16 PM

Talking Heads - [I]Remain in Light[/I]
Bob Dylan - [I]John Wesley Harding[/I]
Elvis Costello - [I]My Aim is True[/I]
The Veils - [I]The Runaway Found[/I]

I'm still a little perplexed as to why I never see any mention of The Veils around here. [I]The Runaway Found[/I] is a quality album.

Glitterati 03-19-2006 06:53 PM

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]^ no one cares.

Joy Division - Peel Sessions

Yum.[/QUOTE]

Mmmm....Peel Session, the album that really got me into Joy Division. She's Lost Control is so good.

I'm digging Matisyahu today! Normally I'm not really into reggae, but this guy is damn good.

Iai 03-19-2006 07:13 PM

A couple bootlegs I found of Elliott Smith and Afghan Whigs. The former's cover of Jealous Guy is brilliant.

Kayetan 03-19-2006 07:27 PM

The Books.

They just equate to awesomeness.

Zebra 03-19-2006 07:36 PM

Afghan Whigs - Congregation

I actually forgot how great this album really is. It's much better then [I]Gentlemen[/I] and [I]1965[/I]

pixiesfanyo 03-19-2006 09:25 PM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Manic Street Preachers - [I]Holy Bible[/I]

Finally getting around to listening to them. This is a lot better than I expected it to be.[/QUOTE]

It's a great album.

But I never can get through it, maybe because it's too depressing?

Or just because it's too samey and long.

I picked up Pink Mountaintops' Axis of Evol this afternoon. It's pretty cool, but really doesn't form too much. I'll upload a review at a laterrrrrr date.

br3ad_man 03-20-2006 04:32 AM

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]What do you not like about him (other thanmost of his singles, cuz they're pretty crap).??[/QUOTE]

I just find that whole style really boring I guess. I've got two of his albums and they just never did anything for me.
