Quasimoto- The Unseen.

The Who - [I]My Generation: The Very Best of the Who[/I]

Built To Spill- [i]Keep It Like A Secret[/i]

Carry The Zero is still my favorite song on it, but I like most of the other ones as well. That first guitar solo in CTZ = sweet.

Pipes You See, Pipes You Don't - Individualized Shirts

You can definetely tell it's E6, which automatically qualifies it as good, but it's still lacking something I can't put my finger on.

The Wipers - [I]Youth of America [/I](could be my favourite punk record, maybe. If it isn't, it should be)
Cat Power - [I]Covers Record[/I]
Black Sabbath - [I]Master of Reality[/I]
High on Fire

The Bronx - [I]The Bronx[/I]
Drive By Truckers - [I]The Dirty South[/I]
The Bees - [I]Free The Bees[/I]
The Bees - [I]Sunshine Hit Me[/I]

I might go to Aceyalone and Ugly Duckling tomorow night :-D So been listening to them.

Sonic Youth - [I]Rather Ripped[/I]
Radiohead - [I]Hail to the Thief[/I] and [I]the Bends[/I]
I like the new SY I decided.

It's worth a little, so yeah - good stuff.

Spoon - [I]Gimme Fiction[/I] (they play such solid, solid music. How could anyone not dig 'em?)

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]I might go to Aceyalone and [B]Ugly Duckling[/B] tomorow night :-D So been listening to them.[/QUOTE]

Their new album is sweet.

[I]Alkaline Trio - Goddammit, Self Titled, and Maybe I'll Catch Fire[/I]

Just added these to my Ipod today. Had them a good while but I stopped listening to them. Used to be in love with them and I'm reminded why. I have Good Mourning and From here to the Infirmary but I prefer these. [B]Definitly one of the most overlooked bands ever [/B]and one of my all time favorites.

Return to Forever - [I]Romantic Warrior[/I]

I don't know much about jazz fusion but this **** is awesome.

Man, nothing makes me happier than driving to Neil Young's [I]Harvest[/I]. Seriously, perfect driving album. It's also good for moseying :confused:

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]I've also been on a power-pop kick this week. Mostly Gin Blossoms and Big Star.[/QUOTE]
Have you ever heard of the Flamin' Groovies? Great classic power pop. You'll like them if you dig Big Star. Check out [I]Shake Some Action[/I].

The Taple-beatles. This little group is so awesome. They're like a better Negativland. Just listening to it is like reading a novel by Orwell and makes you hate the government more than any other "political" music could ever do.

The new Mars Volta song.
It completely shi[I]t[/I]s over The Widow.

&
Alva Noto - For
Muse - Showbiz

Against Me! - [I]Against Me! Is Reinventing Axl Rose[/I]
Against Me! - [I]As the Eternal Cowboy[/I]
These guys are fun.

I was listening to "One Mic" just before. **** it's a powerful song. Nas is ze tits.

List of my favourite digs from this year (not necesarily released this year, but what I've listened to most/discovered this year)

The Bronx - [I]II[/I]
The Wipers - [I]Youth of America[/I]
Bruce Springsteen - [I]Greetings from Asbury Park[/I]
Spoon - [I]Gimme Fiction[/I]
Comets on Fire - [I]Avatar[/I]
The Replacements - [I]Let it Be[/I]
Soulwax - [I]Much Against Everyones Advice[/I]
Silver Jews - [I]Bright Flight[/I]
Radio Birdman - [I]Radios Appear[/I]

A smiley to anyone who guesses what's missing.

I'll do similarly

Harmonia - [I]De Luxe[/I] and [I]Musik Von Harmonia[/I]
Captain Beefheart - [I]Doc at the Radar Station[/I]
Liz Phair - [I]Exile in Guyville[/I]
Duke Ellington - [I]Ellington Uptown[/I]
Mogwai - [I]Happy Songs for Happy People[/I]
Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli - [I]Claude Debussy Preludes Volume 1[/I]
The Congos - [I]Heart of the Congos[/I]
Elvis Costello - [I]This Year's Model[/I]
Pavement's first three
Wire's first two

Amazing that there's really only 1 jazz album that made a big impact this year, but fitting that it's Ellington, I suppose.

It's definitely "poppier." Devoto spits a lot less venom. It's a great album, but "better than [I]Real Life[/I]" is hard to calculate, in my book. They're really close.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]Rolling Stones - [I]Exile on Main Street[/I]
Patti Smith - [I]Easter[/I]
The Cranberries - [I]Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?[/I]

the first two because I'm reading Lester Bangs' biography and it put me in the mood for them, and the third one because I feel like it.

I've also been on a power-pop kick this week. Mostly Gin Blossoms and Big Star.[/QUOTE]


I read that ****, I read everything I can find with Lester Bangs in it.

Anyway, Fugazi - Repeater is a work of art.

"Because You're Frightened" is ridiculously great. I love "Model Worker" about as much, too.

[I]Correct Use[/I]... doesn't have a "Parade," though. I love that slower song.

EDIT: I guess "A Song from Under the Floorboards" fits the latter bill. It's not as good as "Parade."

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]"Let It Blurt"? Really interesting read. I can't figure out if I like him or not.[/QUOTE]

Hmm.. I didn't read that one. I read one which was more of a collection of his work called Blood feasts and something something. It was pretty cool, but it took me awhile to figure out if I liked him too.

The Natural History - [I]Beat Beat Heartbeat[/I]
The Promise Ring - [I]Nothing Feels Good[/I] - Ah I love this album.
The Coral
Diamond D

I was always under the impression that we all just suck it up so that we can impress our internet buddies.

I always have to do that too. It takes like 30 seconds.

Right now I am digging The Zombies.

Listening to the Silver Apples right now, been digging a variety of stuff over the last couple days, though. Currently setting up a playlist for countries involved in the World Cup quarterfinals, which I'll be playing on my radio show on Monday. Got everyone covered except Ukraine, and I'm failing hard on that one.

Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400 EP

This is such a good pump up stadium song.
