Hit me up?

http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/t/t...-terrified.jpg

Just started listening to these guys, they're really great.

^ I like them, and for some reason that's the one album of theirs I never got around to listening to.

Voice of The Seven Thunders - S/T

*Needs more Dismemberment Plan

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bQBdOAUZrm...osaur_life.jpg
Motion City Soundtrack - My Dinosaur Life

I've loved these guys since middle school so I try to keep up even if I didn't love their last release. Only listened once through so far but has so decent tracks. Some reminiscent of Commit This To Memory. Kind of cheesy artwork/title but, come on, it's power-pop.

NRG - NRG (1984)

Obscure, wonderful and crazily innovative synth-pop/progressive rock debut album from Kevin Gilbert back in his high school days. The whole thing can be downloaded for free from his official website here: Kevin Girls - Audio Downloads

Dead Can Dance - Spiritchaser (1996)

DCD's last studio album, though a recent acquisition, has quickly become one of the my favorites from the band, right up there with their debut and Within The Realm of a Dying Sun. The brilliance of this, to put it one way, is frightening.

Klimt 1918 - Just In Case We'll Never Meet Again (2008)

Again, lots of scarily good music here, with elements of metal, post-rock and poppy shoegaze joining hands in some kind of circle of awesomeness. To put it another way, if Mew and Explosions In The Sky had a prodigal son together, this band would certainly fit the description.

This sounds interesting. EITS are good even though they bore me a little, and I like Mew.

Very very good call with that album. Indus is an absolute belter of a song.

As groovalicious and awesome as the Twisted Wheel Story and Golden Torch Story comps are (I've probably played the both of them to death by now), I've been looking for another good northern soul compilation for a ridiculous amount of time now. 3 songs in and I'm loving it already.

Old Pride - Pianos Become the Teeth
Aggressive hardcore paired with lots of post-rock ambience and dabs of "real" screamo. Good stuff, my favorite of 2010 so far.

Mono - Hymn to the Immortal Wind
EPIC.

http://www.getmusic.com.au/images/lo...5ff3d67e62.jpg

My dad got these and so I'm stealing them.

I would go so far as to say, "F*CKIN' EPIC." (Or EPIC AS F*CK...whichever you prefer.) :thumb:



For me, I saw this Vampire Records release advertised on a DnB site and picked it up yesterday. Vampire themed Drum and Bass...I couldn't resist. Very excited to hear this. :D

Oh lawdy. Anyone who considers themselves a fan of underground hip-hop needs this.

Brothomstates - Claro

http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/image....L._AA280_.jpg

Eedl - Everse

http://recoverflow.com/wp-content/up...edl_everse.jpg

Ditto, they really need to put out another LP together... in fact I'd settle for Grimm to put out a new album.

Do you by any chance have a linky for this? Looks great, just the cover is cool enough.

Le Lendemain - Fires

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vfWx1AhMET...+lendemain.jpg

Looking forward to hear how it sounds! I'll find out if it's a hit or miss tomorrow. They're behind The Library Tapes so there's not much of a chance for me to be disappointed.

Derek Trucks Band - Joyful Noise

Good work, NumberNine. Have you listened to them yet?

Solid album. Their second one was decent too. I actually really like Baby 81 too but plenty disagree with me.

I think i told her the same thing. I cant remember in which order, i cant remember where Gold Against The Soul was mentioned. But Everything Must Go is obviously worthy of a listen, Lifeblood is both completely different and so under-rated and i suppose Gold Against The Soul is lacking in direction and is probably worth getting to fill in the gap between their two best records.

Not yet, haven't gotten any free time...

I'll just get their discography. :p:

hey look, here's what i got, was given these the other day

Butter 08 'Butter 08' (1996): one-off collab on Grand Royal of some Japanese people and some guy fron Jon Spencers Blues wotsit. Seems alright. Prefer the heavier grittier stuff on here to the Beck-ish nonsense atm, gets a bit chirpy in a mid-90s kind of way
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Booter_DdZ...+08+cover.jpeg

Pete Townshend 'Empy Glass' (1980): much, much better than what the Who were doing by this point. Nice ambitious, big-budget errr rock album. Not sure how else to describe it. Still tight as a duck's arse though
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CeTfgCKjnl...ss_-_Front.jpg

Yello 'You Gotta Say Yes To Excess' (1983) - I have 1980's debut 'Solid Pleasure', and it's quite difficult to sum up Yello 'cause there's so damned diverse. Broadly synth-pop. Often club-oriented and a bit industrial** on this album. Suitably mental, they spice up what would otherwise be quite run-of-the-mill stuff with a seemingly endless array of weird samples and sonic U-turns
http://raveandroll.files.wordpress.c.../11/yello3.jpg

p.s. where's the props for 'Know Your Enemy' in this Manics love in eh?!

** i said industrial, i meant EBM

^ This Yello's album description sounds very intriguing, any uppings?

I forgot about these:

Midnight Oil - The Real Thing

http://mp3.uzhgorod.name/uploads/pos...rit_of_sun.jpg
Kyoto Jazz Massive - Spirit Of The Sun (2002)

Something like Return To Forever meets Massive Attack in this absolutely glorious sounding acid jazz release. Probably going to be my "wake the hell up its morning" album for awhile.


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...obi_citrus.jpg
Asobi Seksu - Citrus (2006)

Was impressed by some YT vids that got posted around MB and decided to pick this up. Glowing, wonderful sounding look-at-my-shiny-shoes pop that hooks you in pretty fast.


http://www.invisible-face.com/pics/g...nesis_duke.jpg
Genesis - Duke (1980)

Contrary to preconceived beliefs, this is a pretty damn good album that balances the best aspects of Genesis's later pop years with their more energetic/complex prog. roots. Recommended to the skeptical and enthusiastic alike.

XO

and

http://meetthepete.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/or.jpg

Either/Or

As a whole I think it's a decent album, but I do love 'Misunderstanding', definitely a 5-star track, and a few others on it are worthy of 4 stars.

Yasushi Yoshida - Secret Figure

The Library Tapes - Feelings for Something Lost

Slint - Spiderland

Better late then never!

Beauty's Confusion - Breathe In

New trip hop band I found today that I decided to give a full spin.

He looks weird without glasses...........

Just pre-ordered Andy McKee's new album Joyland.

The Clash - From Here To Eternity

http://a32.idata.over-blog.com/0/00/...-pinkerton.jpg
Weezer - Pinkerton

Props are not exactly what i'd like to give the Manics for that album :p:

:( Man, for 'Let Robeson Sing' and 'So Why So Sad' alone it deserves something, there may be some slightly off-colour songs on there but it has nostalgia value for me... plus production wise it was a step back in the right direction after the preceding one (refuse to say it's name because even that makes me yawn)... aye-moh. honestly can't see why it gets so much flack

http://www.auralexploits.com/ebay_im...lueberry_1.jpg

The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat

So... that was quite the album... I wish that some of the songs were better paced though because it seemed like every idea in the world was crammed into every song and it artificially lengthened them. Other than that it was a terrific album, very unique, and while it may be something I won't listen to every day, definitely something I'd listen to again.

Three Mile Pilot - Another Desert, Another Sea

http://www.thisisfakediy.co.uk/image...sboring300.jpg

Los Campesinos! - Romance Is Boring

Nothing too remarkable about this, i feel like i've heard it all before. There's too many bands around at the moment releasing stuff like this and Los Campesinos! are unfortunately nowhere near the top of the pile.

Pantera - Cowboys From Hell

http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/image....L._AA280_.jpg

Of course I had this on CD back in the day. I eventually sold it sometime during college, but reacquired it in MP3 format a few years ago, but it somehow worked its way off my computer (corrupt files, perhaps). But yesterday I had the desire to acquire it again. In high school I drew cemetery gates on my chemistry book cover.

I will play it now because the ****ers in the office next to me are talking too loud as usual. STFU! <cranks up music>

hehe I did the same thing with Venom's logo on my Algebra book. The school was not impressed and forced me to buy it.

Anyhow, I'm going to assume that these guys picked their name because of The Tick and his famous "SPOOOON" battle cry.

Spoon - A Series of Sneaks

http://dreysay.files.wordpress.com/2...ady_to_die.jpg
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...AfterDeath.jpg

I downloaded these yesterday based on Conan's recommendation. I've only listened to the first three or four songs from Ready to Die...I ain't so sure this is for me. But I'm going to listen to them all the way through first before deciding.

Actually back then we were required to use protective book covers (typically made out of paper grocery bags) so we could draw whatever we wanted to them. I was used to that meaning associated with "book cover", I should have specified. I drew all kinds of metal band logos on those things.

OH we did that too, I just never bothered because I'm horrible at folding. The only thing I'm good at folding is laundry and that's because I spent 6 hellish months working in a clothing store. Actually I have to say that I can now pack a **** ton more clothing when traveling, but still people who don't give a damn about clothing should never work with it. I remember in 10th grade I got sent to a the school therapist because I did a horrible rendition of Suicidal Tendencies' logo in my biology book and the school thought I was feeling suicidal :laughing:
