R.E.M. - [I]Automatic for the People[/I]

I haven't listened to this in a while and I must say that the second half is way stronger than the first. The last three tracks are some of the bands best songs, this isn't their high point but it's still a very impressive album.

Go for more Frenchies. Francoise Hardy, Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin all worked the whole sensual, breathy chanteuse angle. Give them a try if you haven't already. Maybe Jennifer Charles/Elysian Fields too, if you don't mind the kind of goth overtones.

Frog Eyes - The Horse Used to Wear A Crown

easily one of the better songs to put you in a very nuetral feeling. Great for depression, bad for times you feel good.

i.e. the bassline that was either stolen by them from the Pixies, or the one that was stolen from BTE by All-American Rejects for "Swing Swing"

I've been listening to a lot of Murder by Death lately, mostly [i]Who Will Survive..[/i], which is a change since previously I always listened to their first one a lot more. "Devil in Mexico" is fast becoming one of my favourite songs, by MBD or anyone else, as I can't get enough of the "dealing insults with his free hand" line. I'll have to get their new one sometime soon. I know a lot of people have said it isn't really very good, but I don't really care.

J. J. Jackson - But It's Alright is a really good (and surprisingly seemingly quite unknown) soul record, though more soul for partying, than southern soul. I think everyone'd do well to hear the title track, at least.

Bill Withers - Just As I Am is another album that looks like it isn't going to do well in the 65-74 list, but probably should. Most people are probably familiar with "Ain't No Sunshine", but it's far from the only great song on there. At least half the record's up to its standard, and the other half are good enough in themselves.

I'm also finding that I tend to enjoy songs I wouldn't normally think much of at all (e.g. Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated, Chad Kroeger - Hero, Switchfoot - Meant to Live) when they're on a Spiderman soundtrack.

Hüsker Dü - [i]New Day Rising[/i]
Svarte Greiner - [i]Knive[/i]

Trying to write my artist's statement for my BFA review next week. It's not particularly easy to synopsize yourself and what you do in 1/2 a page.

Eliminator 12-08-2006 12:48 PM

i was just listening to new day rising last night

Red House Painter's - [I]Songs For A Blue Guitar[/I]
The Vidablue - [I]This is The Way To Rule[/I]

Magical Myster Tour - The Beatles

Their most underrated album. I actually like it more then Sgt. Peppers. All You Need is Love is a masterpiece.

Electrocution 12-08-2006 02:28 PM

I pretty much decided that Gospel and Slint are my favorite bands.

been listening to some [I]Songs About F[size=2]u[/size]cking[/I] too, and I feel some Sonic Youth coming on.

_Mote_ 12-08-2006 02:30 PM

Which Big Black CD should I get Electrocution? Songs... or Rich Man's 8 Track, which I believe had Atomizer (I think that's what it was called) on it. Or could you possibly upload Songs About ****ing into the Album Trading thread? I've been meaning to get into them forever.

Eliminator 12-08-2006 02:30 PM

listening to evol right now

could someone hook me up with a gospel album

Electrocution 12-08-2006 02:33 PM

both you guys should get slsk if you don't have it and hit me up. my name is I Am Electrocution.

_Mote_ 12-08-2006 02:33 PM

Jesus titty christ, you're the biggest Sonic Youth hating sonic youth fan of all time!

i have soulseek, but it doesn't work for me anymore

_Mote_ 12-08-2006 02:35 PM

and Electrocution, I have dial-up, so I just let the albums download when I go to bed. It's convienent for me to use the Album Trading thread, but it's defidently chill with me if you don't want to do it.

Raekwon the Chef - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

Two one album bands(I doubt you're counting Tweez). Those two albums are 6/5 no doubt.

Atomizer.
[/QUOTE]

Can't find it anywhere. Me thinks it's out of print. It's not on Amazon either.

Anxious 12-08-2006 04:29 PM

It is. Get the copulation one then.

_Mote_ 12-08-2006 04:31 PM

K thanx.
