I downloaded my 32nd album released in the year 1967 :D

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

I liked Uncle Tupelo but for some reason I never really looked into Wilco until now. Considering how highly regarded this album is on both this forum and other forms of media I expect it to make my head explode with awesomeness. If I am not wiping awesomeness off my computer monitor later on tonight I am going to be very disappointed.

Takes 2 or 3 listens to sink in,but it is AWESOME.

Great album! I was really into that one in my mid-teens. :)

It's been highly regarded on this forum, as one of the best from the 60s. I think I'll enjoy it (hopefully). :D

I'm not wiping awesomeness off my monitor but it is steadily perspiring out my pores. If I were to fuse Pitchfork Media's review numbering with that of a tape measure I'd give the album a 9.3 and a cunt hair.

Fair To Midland "The Carbon Copy Silver Lining"

Sounds a hell of a lot different than Fables From A Mayfly. It's wilder, screamier, heavier, and far more experimental. Not as strong, but it's definitely a lot of fun. They sound as much like Protest The Hero and System Of A Down on this album as they do present day Fair To Midland.

First new music for a while. The Groundhogs one's something my brother was kind enough to send my way, and the other two are in the name of whittling away at the bits of Tom Waits' discography that I don't yet have. Either way, I won't exactly be bored for the next few hours.

Nice one :thumb: My brother's basically told me it's something I'll definitely like, so I'm looking forward to giving it a spin myself fairly soon.

Yeah, that does sound pretty awful. I haven't listened to it just yet, but I got through Blue Valentines not so long ago (which was excellent), and that's kinda inadvertently got me started on Small Change, Heart Of a Saturday Night (still my personal favourite of his 70s albums) and Nighthawks At the Diner again, so it may be a while before I give it a chance :D

By the way, if you're ever up for a link to Foreign Affairs, feel free to PM me.

Dog Fashion Disco "Experiments In Alchemy"

They sounded pretty interesting so I gave them a listen. Pretty cool album, I can see myself coming back for more.

Downloading this at the moment:

Yeah it sounded cool on a first listen. Not as awesome as Sandinista! but that's to be expected.

It's definitely worth it. Streetcore is a really solid album, and don't be surprised if a song or two gets stuck in your head.

Streetcore is amazing. Brilliant from start to finish, and I'm not even a huge Clash fan (I mean, of course I like them, but rarely go out of my way to put it on.) Streetcore is a once a week play for me, at least!

Longwave - The Strangest Things

A new addition to my criminally small list of indie rock bands I like... I can't help that I have picky taste.

Listening to Streetcore gives me the satisfaction of knowing that Joe Strummer did what he loved very well right to the end.

Faunts - M4

Terrific blend of electro, shoegaze, and indie rock.

Muzak 02-14-2010 06:48 PM

Tip the Van- Passion, Love & Pride

Solid Ska Punk with dual female lead singers.

http://static.rateyourmusic.com/albu...es/s154303.jpg

really good Roots Reggae. Some excellent rhythm parts and melodies.

http://static.rateyourmusic.com/albu...es/s790043.jpg

really crazy jazz fusion. Supposedly recorded when the band was on acid.

Side B is an absolute chore to listen to.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - B.R.M.C.

I thought I still had this album but apparently it was lost between my transitioning from hard drive to hard drive.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_SS110_.jpg

Cinephile - Sampler Vol. 1

New trip-hop group I found from Glasgow. Very dark sounding beats that are balanced by very crisp vocals.

http://www.skinnymag.com/summer06/st...ilm-school.jpg

Film School - Film School

Starting to get into Shoegaze and this was recommended to me by my go-to indie friend.

http://www.cmj.com/relay/wp-content/...p_coverart.jpg

Dirty on Purpose - Hallelujah Siren

Again a recommendation from my indie friend.

The Holy Bible's absolutely stellar - I was listening to it yesterday for literally the first time in years. Generation Terrorists I'm so fond of, although Love's Sweet Exile and Little Baby Nothing are brilliant songs.

You should definitely go for Everything Must Go and Lifeblood next if you end up liking those two you just got.

Airlock - Drystar
slightly glitchy, sometimes scratchy downtempo goodness with almost poppy vocals - and strings!

http://funkysouls.com/img/Costanza-Sonic_Diary.jpg
Costanza - Sonic Diary
heavy and sultry downbeat/triphop. offset stereo effects on the vocals make for an interesting sound.

two thumbs way up on this one! great sounds.
they've got a remix album too - very tastefully done, no garish house beats ruining the tracks.

Very good album, I actually introduced that one to the guy who got me into trip-hop and he's been playing it constantly.

I may have to look into that, I don't normally look for remixes but if they're tastefully done then perhaps this might be worth checking out.

Bitter:Sweet - The Mating Game

Sounds like a mixture of a lot of artists I like, namely Lovage but less of the downtempo feel. Still it's not bad and will probably get a few more spins in the future.
