That's a rather fine list Mr Tender. It certainly gets my stamp of approval.

[QUOTE=Bartender]I went shopping today, with a big list of stuff I'd been vaguely thinking about buying, and came back with 16 new CDs..but only one of them was on the list. Bloody sales. Anyway, I got;

The B-52's - The B-52's
Ben Harper - Fight For Your Mind
Bjork - Homogenic
The Eagles - Hotel California
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Interpol - Antics
Jimmy Nail - Growing Up In Public (the one on the list)
Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
Portishead - Dummy
The Rat Pack - A Night On The Town With..
The Roots - Phrenology
Weezer - The Blue Album
The Wildhearts - Fishing For Luckies
The Wildhearts - Riff After Riff
The Wildhearts - The Wildhearts Strike Back

All of which will undergo diggin' over the next few days. At the moment though, I'm digging the Naked Gun boxed set, which I also bought.[/QUOTE]

Never heard of The Wildhearts. Who can you compare them too?

Picked up The Beach Boys - [i]Pet Sounds[/i] on full-stereo vinyl yesterday... that's been spinning...

Le Tigre has been shakin my hips as of today.

:D

[QUOTE=A Goonie]Never heard of The Wildhearts. Who can you compare them too?[/QUOTE]

They're a rock and roll band, with few fans on MX. Most of the bands I could compare them to would be really unknown rock bands, so it wouldn't help. Since the band are very open with fans, influences are easier; Stiff Little Fingers, Cheap Trick, Husker Du, Big Black, The ****ed, The Beatles, The Replacements, The Clash, The Ramones, Blue Oyster Cult.

Isis
The Flaming Lips
Interpol

[B]Bold statement warning:[/B]

Tim Kasher is possibly(probably) the best songwriter in ze world.

Bold question: Who?

The dude from Cursive.

Actually, I'll retract. Nick Cave is better, but Kasher is rather goodly.

Kasher is the freakin goods.

The guy from the Goo Goo Dolls is one of the best songwriters ever

*gets shot by everyone on mx*

Johnny Rzeznzizkzzz (Rzeznik)? Yeah, I think he's good at making power ballads for the 90s generation.

rufus wainwright - the art teacher

now that i've found that song, i've been listening to it constantly. it's so **** wonderful. the haunting piano, the powerful vocals. the desperate lyrics. ahhhh

Just dl'ed 2 JR Ewing albums, so I've been digging those.

Tangy you should listen to The Good Life, it is like Cursive only neater.

(Tim is in it)

Bought Isis - [i]Panopticon[/i] and Brian Wilson - [i]Smile[/i] yesterday. So I've been rocking to those. And I've been digging the menu music on my new Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVDs. DVD menus don't get much better than that.

I also went on a Pink Floyd listening spree, as it'd been a while since I spun any. Atom Heart/Meddle/Dark Side/Wish You Were Here/Animals.

And now I'm jammin' the Beulah.

Brian Wilson is awesome :thumb:

I've been on a Pink Floyd spree too. I watched the Wall yesterday, and that got me in the mood.

Also I've been listening to Atmosphere.

I'm currently going on a Street Spirit rampage, I'm downloading every live, acoustic and cover version of it that I can find. It's fantastic!

The Walkmen
Bright Eyes
Idlewild
Interpol

Melt Banana
Lightning Bold
Boredoms
King Krimson

Lightning Bolt are so so so good.

Just listened to [I]Gentleman[/I]. I appreciate that band more and more after every listen to their records.

I'm finnaly getting into into more material from Nucleus which I should have done a long time ago having liked Elastic Rock so much. So I gave Roots a listen and I'm really impressed. My dad used to have this record hanging on the wall when I was little and the cover always freaked me out, it's cool that ten years laters I'll be digging that album on the wall.

Mainly Bjork lately. [I]Vespertine[/I] is creeping up my list of all time favourite albums, I'd say it has made it to the top 20 already.

[QUOTE=Master Arkam Kannon]
King Krimson[/QUOTE]
heh. i'm downloading one of their albums right now.

I've also been digging the Mahavishnu Orchestra lately as well.

its like walking in a room were ever half second a flash of light goes off right in front of you.

harriet the spy = good.

the used
senses fail
further seems forever

best hot snakes album anyone?

Yesterday I listened to all four of my Flaming Lips albums at least twice each. Today I'm just listening to Blink 182 again.

I think I'm turning into one of those "Soft Bulletin" fanboys.

But they're so determined.

David Bowie
Camera Obscura
The Church

The Swans are amazing. Everyone should know that.

Been listening to Bob, Nick Cave and Johnny Cash. The men.

I've been listening to Interpol - Antics (which is pretty good), Jimmy Nail - Growing up in Public (which has Jimmy Nail and is therefore excellent), and Weezer's Blue Album, which turned out to be broken.

[QUOTE=indy_undy]best hot snakes album anyone?[/QUOTE]

That would be [I]Suicide Invoice[/I].

[QUOTE=Bartender]
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
[/QUOTE]

I just bought this a few weeks ago. May change with mood,but I like this style more than Kind of Blue. And I love the cover art. Of the Gil Evans collabs, is this one of the best?

I like the "Porgy & Bess" album better than "Sketches of Spain," as far as Miles/Evans goes. "Miles Ahead" is significant since it is their first collaboration, but it isn't anything outstanding. Their last album, "Quiet Nights" is pretty lame.

I'm starting to love The Aquabats. And Euphone.
