Hi, I played with Miles Davis.

[QUOTE=JonM]What?[/QUOTE]

he said "Hi, I played with Miles Davis."

Oh, okay. I understand now.

We are playing $25,000 Pyramid, and the category was "things Marcus Miller might say." You lose.

Everything I heard of Marcus with Miles SUCKED. I'm beginning to agree with you on the lead bassist thing.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]ok even better diggage

The National - [I]Alligator[/I]

This album is so good. I really wish they could have pulled it off live, but they didn't do it for me. Maybe it was the festival setting.

edit: "Lit Up" and "All the Wine" are like the two best songs of 2005.[/QUOTE]

Best album of 2005 what? And probably 2004 too. And you've really gotta hear the b-sides, they're as good as anything on the album.

(It's my natural reaction to respond as quickly as I can to any post mentioning The National in any way.)

Is the non-faded copy of YLT's new one available yet? I'm dying to hear that in full, I really like the messed up copy.

Failure - Fantastic Planet

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Failure - Fantastic Planet[/QUOTE]I havn't listened to Failure in a good while, might check them out again later.

Been diggin' David Bowie today. With emphasis on the Aladdin Sane era.

Fantastic Planet is an amazing album, try and find it.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Wire - [I]Chairs Missing[/I]

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]

Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention - [i]We're Only In it for the Money[/i]

And also, [i]Hot Rats[/i].

Manic Street Preachers - [I]The Holy Bible[/I]

Cursive - [I]The Ugly Organ[/I]
Cocteau Twins - [I]Treasure[/I]

Susanna and the Magical Orchestra - List of Lights and Buoys
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - The Doldrums
Triosk - The Headlight Serenades

Sage Francis - Road Tested
Sage Francis - Waiting Tables

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

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 :-/

"3 Freaks" makes Jesus wet his bedsheets.

In horror.

I've been getting into Dinosaur Jr. lately.

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.

Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde

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

TV on the Radio and Caetano Veloso.

Squirrel Nut Zippers - The Inevitable

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