[QUOTE=AlienEater]How does it compare to they were wrong, so we drowned, and they threw us all in a trench and stuck a monument on top?[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't know, this is the first time I've heard or heard of this band.

Television - [I]The Blow Up[/I]

To see these guys live in their prime would be the greatest thing ever, but since that is impossible, this is the next best thing.

Gang of Four - [i]Entertainment![/i]
Boards of Canada - [i]Music Has The Right To Children[/i]

The Velvet Underground - [I]The Velvet Underground & Nico[/I]

fingernail- emo along the lines of saetia but maybe better

Rwake is fun. Nice n' heavy southern sludge metal with some post-metal feelage.

The Dismemberment Plan - Change
Les Savy Fav - Inches
Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade

I don't usually pay attention to music from a video game but when I got FIFA 06 I find the soundtrack exceptional, and I've been listening to some of it lately:
The Bloc Party - Helicopter
Embrace - Ashes
The Duels - Potential Futures
The Doves - Black And White Town
Manga - Bir Kadin Cizecskin

and I'm always listening to The White Stripes , although it's usually their old stuff as opposed to their new:)

Fatboy Slim - You've Come a long Way, Baby
Mercury Rev - Boces

You're the one that reviewed Six Organs right?

The title track on Holy Letters is fantastic. Wish I understood the lyrics though.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]I'm trying to learn all the words to "Semi-Charmed Life" so my band can cover it. This is a massive undertaking.[/QUOTE]

I love that song. Nothing better than driving on a summers day listening to a bit of Third Eye Blind*

*preferably in a convertible

i used to know all the words

Alias & Ehren - Lillian

Lillian, Alias's third full-length and first collaborative instrumental album (with younger brother Ehren), conflates the two directions by pairing the hip-hop beats of Muted with a more linear and atmospheric style compared to its predecessor. Though there are occasional voice samples, Lillian eschews the aggressive attack of MCs for elegant melodicism.

Upon hearing Muted, Ehren, armed with flute, alto sax, soprano sax, and clarinet, flew to Oakland to join Alias for what would hopefully become a fruitful collaboration. The 57-minute result is anything but a sloppy exercise in nepotism. On the contrary, Ehren (still only a teenager and younger than Brendon by eleven years) holds his own as a credible instrumentalist, even if his contributions more colouristically blend into the overall fabric than dominate with robust soloing.

Though it includes pretty interludes (“Sunfuzz” and “Moonfuzz”) and a few sketchy pieces, for the most part Lillian's compositions dramatically move through crescendos and diminuendos and gradually escalate towards climaxes. “Back and Forth,” for instance, begins in melodic electronica mode with a softly meandering clarinet line floating over subtle pitter-patter; then, as happens in many pieces, Alias's roaring beats appear halfway through, elevating the intensity, in this case capped by Ehren's soprano which waxes freely before taking a rather Arabic turn (a similarly exotic scent wafts through the dubby “Narrowed Iris” with its free flute playing and dark, swooping strings).

The album includes its share of dreamy moments: named after their grandmother (who died of cancer in 1994), the lovely title piece unfolds gently with sparkling washes deepened by Ehren's sax musings; “52nd & West” conjures a sunny vibe from surging strings, thrumming beats, willowy flute lines, and bright synth streams; and “Most Important Things” merges skittering beats with smooth sax playing over a bed of warm electronic glistens. The album's most impressive outing, “Miso Stomp,” builds gradually, its stuttering backing joined by dreamy clarinet playing and, eventually, thrumming beat splatter. At album's end, the brothers include a scratchy duet of sax and out-of-tune piano, Alias and Ehren perhaps serenading (or memorializing) their grandmother with an old standard—a sweet and graceful coda.

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]So who did you murderize?[/QUOTE]

I wish it were for muderization. That would have been much better than CANNIBUS POSSESION UNDER 20 GRAMS.

auburn lull

good shoegazey stuff

[QUOTE=Robert Crumb]It's my fave, too.

Listening to Magazine for the first time. I went out to hunt for Harmonia, couldn't find it. Got Magazine's first two albums instead, $16. Not bad I think. I've been meaning to look into these guys for a long time.[/QUOTE]

It's a shame that there's no Harmonia at your record store, but maybe not that surprising. Those Magazine albums are fantastic.

Bauhaus - In The Flat Field

[QUOTE=I Was A Kaleidoscope]Bauhaus - In The Flat Field[/QUOTE]

Also a good one.

John Coltrane - [I]Giant Steps[/I]
John Coltrane - [I]Soultrane[/I]

For a while, I only had [I]A Love Supreme[/I] and didn't really get what the big deal about Coltrane was, but now I know.

XTC, particularly Skylarking and Black Sea. These guys could make anything catchy.

I've just started listening to the Beautiful South thanks to some sputnik recommendations. Great stuff.

[QUOTE=morrissey]XTC, particularly Skylarking and Black Sea. These guys could make anything catchy.[/QUOTE]
XTC is too damn catchy. I heard "I'm the Man Who Murdered Love" and couldn't get it out of my head for like 2 weeks. Just when you think you forget about them...




I recently bought some Atom and His Package records from a guy selling out of his trunk and have been getting really into that and Ferd Mert, Dillinger Four, etc.

Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights

This is a great album, i'm pleasantly surprised. Obstacle 1 is a song i could just listen to over and over, it's so amazing.

And i've been listening to me singing over a bunch of Sonic Youth, Minutemen and Reagan Youth songs. Cos i do that.

I've been listening to [I]Skylarking[/I] as well. Its a little flamboyant at times, but too spectacular to not like.

Fantômas - Fantômas
Fantômas - The Directors Cut
The Fiery Furnaces - EP

VA - [I]Nuggets Box Set[/I]

This stuff is so much fun.
