Yo La Tengo is murdering the classics.

Hey, I think you're the first person I've seen agree with that sentiment.

EDIT: Since I'm posting;

[i]Free So Free[/i] isn't so good as I first thought, although "Say The Word" is, and [i]Sounding a Mosaic[/i] is better than I first thought.

"hailed in the press as 'the black Jesus and Mary Chain' upon debuting"

yo

The Flaming Lips have been playing a lot as well cuz I saw them on Friday and it was legendary. Wayne Coyne is a man of much wisdom.

[QUOTE=Zebra;13616066]You should pick up [I]Float[/I] if you haven't, it's his best.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I got that one too. Both solid albums. I liked [I]Labor Days[/I] more on first listen, but I'll be giving both more ear time before I finalise any kind of ranking order.

Dug these this morning:
Nas - [I]Illmatic[/I]
Wilco - [I]Summerteeth[/I]
The Veils - [I]Nux Vomica[/I]

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars;13618170]Soft Cell - [I]Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret[/i]

This is so cool. I expected the production to be really weak and tinny for some reason, but it actually sounds great. All these songs should be played on a dark subway full of naked people.[/QUOTE]

you mean the Tainted Love band (it's a cover but yeah) ??

I finally caved and got a last.fm (ribbags-addmeeee)
