So Much CD Rippage
Lots of CDs on my desk right now as my slow computer tries to
import them all. Some of them I bought, some of them Josh lent me.
Some I've listened to already, some I haven't. Anyway here's what
I'm ripping. |
| 1 |  | The Blood Brothers
Burn Piano Island, Burn
1-7 I bought. I had always heard these guys were good, liking it so far. |
| 2 |  | Wilco
Wilco (The Album)
Cool cover. I'm not sure if these guys are my thing or not but we'll see. |
| 3 |  | Radiohead
Hail To The Thief
Their last album other than Pablo Honey I hadn't heard. I thought it was
going to be their worst, but I quite liked it. It's not Kid A but it's damn
awesome anyway. |
| 4 |  | Matthew Good Band
In A Coma: 1995-2005
I remember growing up liking the songs of his I heard but never had any
albums, so I bought this. |
| 5 |  | Opeth
Ghost Reveries
I just listened to this and I think it's probably my favourite Opeth album
(I've heard BWP, Still Life, and Watershed). Very very good but not boring
like some of Watershed. |
| 6 |  | Elliott Smith
Either/Or
Finally caved to the hype. |
| 7 |  | Christopher Arruda
God Hates A Coward
A local artist (Nanaimo, BC) who I'm having a hell of a time uploading album
artwork and artist information for. I saw him at a music festival in Nanaimo
with Thrice and Protest the Hero etc. and he used to be in a couple other
good local bands as well. I'll listen to this and review it probably seeing
nobody has heard it (on here anyway). |
| 8 |  | Silversun Pickups
Pikul
8-20 On this list were borrowed from a friend. This is an EP and I like both
their LPs so should be good. |
| 9 |  | Discovery
LP
Josh: "Well I mean it's good, so you should borrow it, but I mean I only
gave it a 3 so...." Haha, I'm apprehensive about something Josh gives a 3
to.... |
| 10 |  | St. Vincent
Actor
Sweet. I'm loving female vocalists lately. |
| 11 |  | Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra
He Has Left Us Alone...
I've been loving Godspeed lately but there's only so much you can listen to
until you have to turn to their numerous side projects. This album is really
good. |
| 12 |  | Tortoise
TNT
Jaga Jazzist said they were an influence and I love love LOVE Jaga Jazzist
so I borrowed this. I see the resemblance to Jaga Jazzist. Awesome,
awesome album. |
| 13 |  | Set Fire To Flames
Sings Reign Rebuilder
Another GY!BE side project. I like this album less than the Silver Mt. Zion
one but it's still good. |
| 14 |  | Owls
Owls
Josh loves Cap'n Jazz (and all his affiliates) apparently and he's been all
over the sputnik news so I borrowed the first Cap'n Jazz related album I
could find to start the journey. |
| 15 |  | Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Show Your Bones
I can't get enough of It's Blitz! right now. This isn't as good, but I still love
the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. |
| 16 |  | Do Make Say Think
Other Truths
One of my "Oops I missed it in '09" albums. |
| 17 |  | Bat For Lashes
Two Suns
See 16 |
| 18 |  | Sigur Ros
Untitled 1 EP
Josh's first review on this site. An obscure Sigur Ros EP, of course haha. |
| 19 | | The Gaslight Anthem
The '59 Sound
Wanted to see what all the hub-bub was about. |
| 20 |  | The Dillinger Escape Plan
Irony is a Dead Scene
I forgot to put this one in the "CDs I bought" section. Whatever, I'm seeing
these guys April 9th. Calculating Infinity rocks and Miss Machine destroys.
I can't wait for their new one. |
