Fu[size=2]ck[/size] it's great to have you back man. If there's one person on this site who should make it their first effort to listen to The Veils, it's you. Seriously. The Veils, man.

Did someone in alt/indie just say fugg!?

Been listening mostly just to a playlist I made recently. It started off as just all my 5/5 albums, since then has morphed a little to include whatever I felt like listening to at the time. Right now it's the Rat Pack, coincidentally enough.

Bedouin Soundclash - Sounding a Mosaic was a bit disappointing at first, but the last few tracks (and what turned out to be the first track again, as the album started repeating itself) picked it up nicely. J Mascis and the Fog - Free So Free is overall pretty good, even if he does say "free" waay too much. "Say The Word" has an absolutely fantastic solo, though.

And, as ever, I'm looking forward to Jools Holland again. Apparently Jarvis Cocker has a solo album on the way?

Buried Inside - [I]Chronoclast[/I]

eric dolphy - out to lunch
dave brubek quartet - time out

etc

I'm busting out [I]Source Tags and Codes[/I] for the first time since high school or something because I listened to their newest last night, aka THE WORST ALBUM OF THE DECADE.

Yeah, the new Trail of Dead is ridiculously bad.

what did they do to mess it up

is it like really over-the-top or derivative, cause those are the two directions they seemed to be headed

I think I lost my copy of[I] Source Tags and Codes[/I]. Unless it's hidden somewhere in my car.

I never thought that [I]Source Tags and Codes[/I] was very good, it's an average album at best.

Miles Davis - [I]Birth Of The Cool[/I]

[QUOTE=Zebra;13604638]I never thought that [I]Source Tags and Codes[/I] was very good, it's an average album at best.[/QUOTE]

the only problem i have with it is that some of the songs sound too similar to each other (like the two "omg rawk" tracks Homage and Days of Being Wild). but if you listen to it obsessively (as I have) then they all stick out very well :):(

also, diggin Bear Vs. Shark- "Kylie" just an awesome song

The Red Paintings- Destroy the Robots

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - So Divided.

These Arms Are Snakes - Easter

Yeah. The Veils rule.

D+ - Deception Pass

Costello Music, the Fratellis debut. Its mad

Yah, I'm looking forward to that. Should be interesting, at least.


[QUOTE=br3ad_man;13605504]Yeah. The Veils rule.[/QUOTE]
Amen, brother.

I just saw Damian Rice on The Tonight Show and a song from 9 was played by him - Is 9 any good?

How is it compared to O?

They compressed and pussied the hell out of the vocals to the point where it sounds like a small, robotic girl is singing, for starters. Then they wrote a bunch of horrid piano pop and chamber pop songs. And then they covered Guided by Voices badly.

I agree for the most part: it's pretty decent, but nothing amazing. I was just startled by how bad this one was in comparison to it.

The first song seems ok.

my shirt for trail of dead came today and I don't wanna hear the new album. I bet its worst then their first :S

been listening to alot of Labyrinth soundtrack. fantastic.

Phoenix - [i]It's Never Been Like That[/i]

The Streets - [I]A Grand Don't Come for Free[/I]
Lucero - [I]Rebels, Rogues & Sworn Brothers[/I]

That Lucero album is really good. It's sorta alt-country/southern rock/americana stuff. Perhaps a little on the cheesey side, but I don't care.

So the new Jarvis Cocker album is quite nice, nothing special, but it's not a complete disaster either.

Leak? Or is it out already?

I'm not sure if it's out or not, but I saw a review of it in the newspaper, and then downloaded it from Album base. I'm sure if it's not out already, it will be in the next couple of weeks.
