The Replacements—Let It Be: Good stuff. I have to admit it's kind of at odds with the musical moods I've been in lately but I can tell I'm going to enjoy it a lot when I'm in the right mood for it.

Health—Get Color: I've only listened to this one a couple times but it seems like a great album. Looking forward to giving it more of a listen.

Esperanza Spaulding—Esperanza: Saw one of her concerts on PBS the other night and was totally blown away by her bass playing and singing so I immediately downloaded this. Unfortunately, like a lot of jazz musicians, she really loses something in the studio setting and her music winds up too smooth jazz sounding for my tastes.

Chick Corea—Now He Sings, Now He Sobs: I saw this recommended by Satchmo in some thread and it caught my eye because I had been looking for a good place to start with Chick Corea. Great album! I'm looking forward to giving it some more in-depth listens.

My god there's stuff on this list that Iv'e been searching for forever.
Any chance of getting my hands on that Justin Hinds?

Very nice-looking stuff. Do you have the Ska Bonanza compilation perchance? Because that's something I'm convinced you'll absolutely love if all that ska and rocksteady turns out to be your thing. I think the links are still on my mediafire account, so let me know if you fancy a DL for yourself.

4 tracks, the last one being 38 minutes long can only mean one thing-PROG ROCK! but it's Japaneses with a bit of Can, a bit of noise and a healthy lack of over indulgence. Solid stuff.

U.K melodic Punk that i have never heard of but then they were only around for just over a year (76/77). Not bad at all.

Starflyer 59. Melodic shoegaze. Some average and some really good tracks. Worth at least a listen if it's your bag.

New Alcest. Not had a chance to spin it yet though.

Opeth - The Roundhouse Tapes (live album, mixture of songs from different albums)

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_azsmfijFuo...ouse+Tapes.jpg

Amon Tobin - Kitchen Sink (Remixes) EP

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

I don't know why I didn't know about this sooner...it features remixes from two of my favorite producers, Clark and Sixtoo. Possibly because I generally don't pay attention to remix EPs unless they contain unreleased tracks. The other two mixes are from Noisia (who I'm unfamiliar with) and Boxcutter (who I also like). I enjoyed them all, and on first listen the Noisia one may have actually stood out the most.

Julian Cope - "You Gotta Problem With Me" ... very cool
Bob Dylan - "Highway 61 Revisited" original mono ... very cool and surprisingly different

The Wallflowers' self titled debut that I have not had the pleasure of listening to yet.

Through the Pain - Time Heals Nothing

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZvM9BF_g0s...s320/Front.jpg

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q6ciClCuLu...o+Children.jpg

Halfway through this one and am blown away so far. Just so, so good.

I got like 3 Mac Lethal Albums(11:11, The Love Potion, & Men are from mars, pornstars are from earth), the John Petrucci solo album(Suspended animation), and the Snot tribute cd(Strait Up: A Tribute To Lynn Strait)

Their debut is their best fer sher ...

Just picked up Jimi Hendrix "Valleys Of Neptune" which is at least on a par with The Jimi Hendrix Concerts in being basically a studio document of a live band with a few obscure tunes and overdubs ... very cool

Long Distance Calling - Avoid the light (post-rock)

http://www.insideoutshop.de/images/LDCAvoidTheLight.jpg




Swallow the Sun - New Moon (death doom metal)

http://www.mizzenmast.fr/wp-content/...n-New-Moon.jpg



These two bands will play with Katatonia on tour so I wanted to check their music. Good.

DEATH YELL – Morbid Rites DLP
(released by Nuclear War Now! Productions)

A compilation of Chilean extreme metallers Death Yell’s sole demo ‘Vengeance From Darkness’ (originally put out in 1989) as well as a previously unreleased live recording.
I've had the songs from the demo in mp3 format for quite a while now though it’s nice to finally be able to have a release with the actual thing.

Musically this is a mixture of old-school black/death/thrash which though as barbaric as can be occasionally contains bits which could be described as downright melodic.
Fans of very old Sepultura (Morbid Visions, Bestial Devastation EP), Holocausto, Order From Chaos, Blasphemy and the like, even anyone with an interest in the foundations of extreme metal in general should enjoy this.

Indeed a great album.

Got meself a few things last night, haven't listened to any of them yet:

Amon Tobin - Chaos Theory: Splinter Cell 3 Soundtrack

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

Three Trapped Tigers - EP

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

Deru - Say Goodbye to Useless

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

Two Lone Swordsmen - A Virus With Shoes

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg

My Morning Jacket - Z
Needed to see what all the hype is about. I haven't listened to it yet, but I'm looking forward to it
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...CL._SL500_.jpg

Wilco - the album
Needed to see what all of the hype is about. I'm thoroughly unimpressed. It's definitely a down turn from Sky Blue Sky. Admittedly it is somewhat of a return to the AM and Jeff Tweedy's Uncle Tupelo days, but I see it as an abrupt break in a progression that was leading them toward a new and brilliant sound.

Joe Purdy -Julie Blue
Folkish Singer/songwriter form Arkansas. Really beautiful, honest, and eclectic stuff
http://208.131.143.232/i/1/3/4/0/7/6/4.jpg

Elvis Costello - Trust
Thank you Mr. Bulldog for your support of my ever increasing interest Costello's work this album was an excellent 2nd step from My Aim is True.

No probs my good man - twas my pleasure :thumb:

Natalie Merchant - Motherland

http://slog.thestranger.com/files/20...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

A few descriptions on wikipedia and varying blogs aside, I have no idea what this'll sound like. I just heard David Bowie namedrop this album in an interview, had never heard of it before, so thought I may as well check it out.

Texas - Greatest Hits

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/37/74...499759.jpg?v=0

My girlfriend wanted me to download this for her and, frankly the sooner she takes it off my hands the better.

Have you heard of any of Natalie's other solo stuff, or her work with 10,000 Maniacs for that matter?

Haven't heard a squeak of it (except the name 10,000 Maniacs - that rings a bell or two). I might give the album a first go a bit later tonight. I like getting into new albums this way, even more so when that album turns out to be fantastic (which I've heard this one is). I remember when I bought Thievery Corporation's the Mirror Conspiracy all those years ago and had absolutely no idea what to expect of it - it's good fun when musical gambles like that pay off.

Brian Jonestown Massacre "Who Killed Sgt. Pepper?"

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zcds4wNWXP...sgt+pepper.jpg

10,000 Maniacs was actually a pretty good alternative rock band back in the late 80s/early 90s. Their album "In My Tribe" is very good. As I understand it, the majority of 10,000 Maniacs' music was more upbeat than Natalie's solo work.

Nice songs those. In My Tribe eh. I've got a long, booze-free weekend ahead of me, so I'll get hold it soon. She's got a great voice by the sound of it too. If I remember correctly, the context Bowie mentioned Motherland in was when he was talking about how his own Heathen, despite being recorded before that date, could be seen as a sort of gloomy, post-9/11 atmosphere commentary in places, like he said he thought Motherland was. Definitely got my curiosity going in any case.

Doomtree - False Hope

Finally, I never knew anyone on the forum digged Natalie/10000 Maniacs... If you need any of their music, just give us a shout. I would definitely advise 10000 Maniacs - Unplugged; In My Tribe

Agreed. Their version of Everyday is Like Sunday is a revelation.

Aksak Maboul - Un peu de l'âme des bandits

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...XL._SS500_.jpg

Some Belgian avant-prog/RIO album I just found out about. Not exactly the kind of stuff I usually go for often, but the samples sounded interesting. It's from 1980.

http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/s/s...ican-water.jpg

Silver Jews - American Water

I'm about halfway through the album and it's a little underwhelming, but I thought so about Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and yet I still loved it, so perhaps this album falls under the same category.

A Hundred Times Beloved - Antarctic Sunrise

Amiestreet.com recommended me this and after going through the minute samples I concluded that it was something I wanted to listen to further. As I'm feeling charitable today, I even *gasp* bought it!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...artheheart.jpg
Yo La Tengo-I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One
Got Sugarcube and it's awesome video stuck in my head constantly. So awesome is this video I feel compelled to impose it upon MB members.

^

Yes! I love Yo La Tengo...that album is definitely the best place to start, but have you heard Painful, And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out, and I Am Not Afraid Of You and I Will Beat Your Ass? All great albums...these guys are really unique once you delve into their stuff.

Never heard the Black Keys but this is damn cool (if an unoriginal) collaboration between them and various Hip Hop luminaries that sounds good loud at least.

If the White Stripes at all interested you, The Black Keys are certainly a band worth checking out. They do a pretty decent blend of bluesy garage rock and it's just nice to sometimes rock out.

I cannot stand the White Stripes and that is why I have stayed clear of the Black Keys until now. To be fair I will probably forget about this album in a months time.

The Dillinger Escape Plan "Option Paralysis"

The only album that matters now.

I bought 3 at the same time.

Grace Jones - Hurricane
Grace Jones - Nightclubbing
Roisin Murphy - Overpowered

Picked up physicals of these choice cuts at the store today.

My friend opened up for him, Dessa, and POS, so I got to kick it with all of them.
