XTC - [I]Drums and Wires[/I]

As per usual. But now I have my very own copy of the CD.

Dredg's El Cielo is pretty awesome. I always knew about the band, I don't know what took me so long to listen to one of their albums.

Which my grandparents are listening to in the living room right now.

[QUOTE=Kyle;13457988]Yes! Glad somebody agrees. It seems that the general consensus here is that they are good, but nothing more.[/QUOTE]

I'm diggin' them quite a bit, too.

Little Man: XTC rule.

this + Architecture In Helsinki.

MBV EP's and bootlegs
And loads of other things that don't come to mind right now.

Indeed they do. They're the best band I've discovered in quite some time. I have [I]Skylarking[/I] to look forward to as well.

Got Elvis Costello & Allen Toussaint's [i]The River in Reverse[/i] in the post this morning. I didn't really know what to expect - all I really know about Toussaint is that he's a New Orleans R&B legend, and has worked with a soul singer I've been meaning to check out, Lee Dorsey - so, with the help of his status as Piano Man and a performance on Jools Holland, I was expecting a fairly slow, piano-heavy album that I would like but would take a bit of perseverance to get through the first few times. But I was wrong - this kicks a[font=verdana]s[/font]. The first track kicks off with slow piano, which seemed to confirm my suspicions, but then this howling telecaster comes in with the rest of the band. The most pleasant surprise I've had in a long time. The first five tracks (most of them written by Toussaint, including a couple of covers) are all excellent; after that my level of interest wavers up and down, although the last couple of tracks - especialy "Wonder Woman" - get back to approaching how good the opening quintet was.

So, it's pretty good. Sudden contender for my favourite album this year, at any rate.

Mount Eerie

[QUOTE=sexymuffin;13460660]Mount Eerie[/QUOTE]

I was listening to [i]The Glow Pt.2[/i] earlier today. Such a great album.

Dismemberent Plan - Emergency and I (phenomenal album)
Ghosts and Vodka - Addicts and Drunks
Action Reaction - 3 Is the Magic Number
Method Man and Redman - Blackout

Lots of Mission of Burma and Voxtrot today (including the latter's latest EP, [I]Your Biggest Fan[/I]). Gotta stick with the favorites, you know.

Six Organs of Admittance - [I]School of the Flower[/I]

Its nice, the music is well thought out, but since I'm not a stoner I can't fully enjoy this.

7.6/10

Sarah Blasko - [i]What The Sea Wants, The Sea Will Have[/i]

So good. Probably my 6th or 7th favourite of the year so far.

[B]Sigur Rós[/B].

Mindblowing album.

Been listening to EPMD, Boogie Down Productions, Big Pun & D.I.T.C on the morning of my day off.

Lovin' it.

Haha. I'm a fan of that one (title track = omgz), but I see where you're coming from.

Sonic Youth's Sister.

[QUOTE=Eliminator;13463328]sonic youth's brother[/QUOTE]LOL!

The Comsat Angels - [i]Sleep No More[/i]
Powerful record, I'm surprised I'm just now hearing this. Post-punk was an amazingly consistent time/genre for music.

[QUOTE=Eliminator;13463328]sonic youth's brother[/QUOTE]

Blonde Redhead?

zing

their more recent stuff doesn't sound like sy though

yeah.

and their old stuff is better than most SY.
