Oingo Boingo - [I]Only a Lad[/I]

This is the greatest new-wave album of all time.

Sam 08-01-2006 06:52 PM

Kool Keith - [I]Black Elvis/Lost in Space[/I]
The Locust - [I]Plauge Soundscapes[/I]

mr_jackalope 08-01-2006 10:05 PM

Guillemots are definitely awful. I completely don't understand the good reviews that album's getting, everything they've ever released has been overlong, Coldplay-esque tripe.

Listened to Food's [I]Last Supper[/I] earlier and am on Coltrane and Monk at Carnegie Hall now. Both're quite quality.

Zebra 08-01-2006 10:50 PM

Talk Talk - [I]Spirit of Eden[/I]

This is really solid stuff. Definitely worth getting if you enjoyed [I]Laughing Stock[/I].

Little Man being Erased 08-01-2006 11:58 PM

Wire - [I]Chairs Missing[/I]

Zappa 08-02-2006 12:24 AM

Duke Ellington - [I]Black Brown & Beige[/I]

I haven't posted a dig in a while. This is an album I've had a long time, but never listened to much. Ellington is the man.

Mogwai - [i]EP + 2[/i]

masada 08-02-2006 01:40 AM

Sage Francis - Road Tested
Sage Francis - Waiting Tables

Some of the best hip hop I've ever heard.

talk show host 08-02-2006 09:07 AM

DJ Shadow - The Outsider

Only my first listen but it's about as far removed from Endtroducing and The Private Press as you can get. There's a definite divide in the album; the first half is full of the hyphy style tracks like 3 Freaks but then from track 9 onwards it changes completely. Lots of different styles but the latter tracks are more in the vein of his work with UNKLE I guess, with Chris Martin impersonaters. I prefer the second half a lot more at the moment.

My main gripe is that it really doesn't flow as an album and sounds more like a random collection of songs. The disparity between the two halves only really enforces this too :-/

masada 08-02-2006 09:11 AM

"3 Freaks" makes Jesus wet his bedsheets.

In horror.

randomthought9 08-02-2006 09:19 AM

I've been getting into Dinosaur Jr. lately.

JonM 08-02-2006 11:25 AM

I'm going back to all my post-rock for the first time in a while. I was so into it for a long time, but for a year or so I've been listening to so much happy sunshine island music that I was never really in the mood for post-rock. But now I'm starting to feel like the world is going to hell in a handbasket again, so I'm busting out all the Godspeed, A Silver Mount Zion, Do Make Say Think, and Explosions In The Sky records.

sketchyjoe 08-02-2006 12:48 PM

Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde

Prayer 08-02-2006 01:09 PM

M.I.A. - Arular -- I've been digging on this **** for the last five months actually. Not tired of it yet.

Robert Crumb 08-02-2006 03:52 PM

TV on the Radio and Caetano Veloso.

Glitterati 08-02-2006 04:12 PM

Squirrel Nut Zippers - The Inevitable

Awesome swing music. If you like Brian Setzer, check this out.

Still need to check out this guy. Any tracks to recommend to start with?

Kyle the 2nd 08-02-2006 05:08 PM

Thom Yorke - [I]The Eraser [/I]

Here's The Clock being done acoustically, it's orgasmic.

Kyle the 2nd 08-02-2006 05:20 PM

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]^ acutally it kind of sucks.[/QUOTE]Had a feeling that somebody would say that! But I think the vocals are really cool in that version.

Frank Zappa - [I]Hot Rats[/I]

The sax solo on The Gumbo Variations makes me a happy kid.

La Revolucion 08-02-2006 06:24 PM

Ride - [I]Nowhere[/I]

It's just so good.

tonlist 08-02-2006 06:30 PM

All three solos on that song are truly awesome.

[QUOTE=La Revolucion]Ride - [I]Nowhere[/I]

It's just so good.[/QUOTE]"Seagull" and "Kaleidoscope" pack the perfect one-two punch.


The Fiery Furnaces - [i]Gallowsbird's Bark[/i]

My favorite album of theirs by far.

Zebra 08-02-2006 11:13 PM

[QUOTE=La Revolucion]Ride - [I]Nowhere[/I]

I agree. Hands down the best shoegaze album ever created. I'm gonna go listen to it right now!

masada 08-02-2006 11:56 PM

wrong

it's second best

Zappa 08-03-2006 01:06 AM

For a while I've had this weird stigma against [I]Rain Dogs[/I], just considering it "not that good," after having a few weeks of great affection for it.

But I'm listening to it now, and it's basically "that good."

Do any of you guys ever get that feeling about an album, where for some reason you block yourself from it, after liking it a lot for a while. Then you return to it, and you're like "what was I afraid of?"

asymm 08-03-2006 01:11 AM

Jason Molina - [i]Let Me Go, Let Me Go, Let Me Go[/i]

asymm 08-03-2006 02:09 AM

Xiu Xiu - [i]The Air Force[/i]
My first listen through and I'm very impressed. Seems like a big step up from [i]La Foret[/i]'s occasionally stagnant sound. Definitely a nice branching from Jamie Stewart - it's great hearing him try some new things.

No problem, let me know what you think.

Quirky Turkey 08-03-2006 09:52 AM

Muse - 'Black Holes And Revelations' - awsome album,
The Knife - 'Silent Shout' - Wierd pop but totally briliant
M.I.A - 'Arular' - tribal beats + electro = genius
The Guillemots - 'Through the Windowpane' - Epic tunes

Jaundice 08-03-2006 09:55 AM

I've been digging Thom Yorke's [I]The Eraser.[/I]
