Misfits - Legacy of Brutality

Very very good.

Cloud Cult - Advice From the Happy Hippopotamus

Also very very good.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]The new Foo Fighters single. "No Way Back" or whatever it's called. Reminds me of late Husker Du, honestly.[/QUOTE]

I think, especially in the chorus, it sounds a lot like early Green Day.


I TOLD you they were heavily influenced by the Huskers :mad:

Pulp - Common People

Ladytron
Percee P
Four Tet
Black Dice

Among other stuff. I've had my hands full lately. Full of music. If music was junk, I'd have OD'd.

My Morning Jacket*
Bright Eyes

Pretty normal week in terms of the bands I listen to, only a few new ones. I was reviewing Rites of Spring's [i]End on End[/i] and had never heard the band before, so I made sure to listen to that one attentively. Listening to Panic!At the Disco to see what all the fuss was, not too impressed. And Andrew Bird's album [i]The Mysterious Production of Eggs[/i] is fantastic. If anyone is familiar with his other work, do you have any album recommendations?

1 Sonic Youth 46
2 Idaho 27
3 Yo La Tengo 24
4 R.E.M. 23
5 The Fiery Furnaces 15
6 Pink Floyd 12
7 The Velvet Underground 10
7 Pere Ubu 10
9 Earth 9
9 Wilderness 9

Not a bad list. Last.fm was screwy for a good part of the week resulting in a few bands getting overlooked.

This list is somewhat wrong. But whatever.

No. 3 is me. I'm not into myself, I swear.

it's 'New Post-Metal Albums Day' for me!:

Jesu - Silver EP
Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along the Highway

The Jesu is kinda disappointing, I really only dug one song on it. I'm only partway through the 'Luna, but I'm diggin' it pretty good.

Since it's a promo, I gotta put up with some dude saying "you're listening to Somewhere Along the Highway, etc etc" every once in a while. But I had no idea Cult of Luna was even gonna have a new album soon, so I guess I can't complain.

[quote=The Great Decay]Must've been a gooood week.[/quote]I mean yeah. But I [i]do[/i] listen to Bob Marley sober.










It just so happens that this week I wasn't.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]1 Idaho 48

10 T.I. 2

Jawbox is the best rock band of the 1990's. Try to dispute this if you want but it's a pretty solid fact.[/QUOTE]

Jawbreaker, Drive Like Jehu, Nirvana, Kyuss, Afghan Whigs etc... All better.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]Jawbreaker, Drive Like Jehu, Nirvana, Kyuss, Afghan Whigs etc... All better.[/QUOTE]

You forgot the New Radicals.

All I've been listening to are all these new albums I got in the last week. What else could I need?

Morrissey - [I]Vauxhall & I[/I]
Elvis Costello - [I]This Year's Model[/I]
Sleater-Kinney - [I]One Beat[/I]
Television - [I]Marquee Moon[/I]
The Ponys - [I]Laced with Romance[/I]
The Flaming Lips - [I]At War With The Mystics[/I]
Neil Young - [I]Harvest[/I]
Weezer - [I]Pinkerton[/I]
The Streets - [I]The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living[/I]
Electrelane - [I]The Power Out[/I]

The new Streets album is pretty good, not as good as his previous albums, but still good.

Sonic Youth - [i]EVOL[/i]
Lungfish - [i]The Unanimous Hour[/i]
Sonic Youth - [i]Dirty[/i]
Sonic Youth - [i]Goo[/i]

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]Drive Like Jehu - not enough product to judge, and some of their stuff is too quiet/complicated to legit rock out to[/QUOTE]

That's the way I feel about them too, although the couple of really great songs they have tend to make up for it. Also, Nirvana's best work wasn't in the 90s anyway.

Number One Gun
Dirty Three
