Ride - Going Nowhere Again

Love it love it love it. I think it may be structurally stronger than Nowhere, a terrific follow up to a shoegaze classic.

Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga

I don't know if there's a band with as highly acclaimed discography as Spoon so it's really just moving on from one album to another.

The Delgados - The Great Eastern

I picked up Hate a few weeks ago and was recommended this as a follow up. I have yet to listen to it, but after reading a few very positive reviews I think I`ll be happy with it.

Hedningarna - Kaksi

Sometymes Why - Your Heart is a Glorious Machine

Just bought Lamb of God's Sacrament earlier this evening. :)

Nothing new in recent weeks, but will find something soon... I'm definitely starting to crave newness...

Ghostkeeper - And the Children of the Great Northern Muskeg

Vedera - "Stages"

Long overdue trip to the record store yesterday. I got the following used CDs, all of which I've had in MP3 for some time except the first which I haven't heard:

Jaga Jazzist - A Livingroom Hush

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

Funckarma - Vell Vagranz

Mouse on Mars - Instrumentals

Venetian Snares-Rossz Csillag Alatt Született

Not entirely sure what to expect with this one but I'm trying to build my electronic collection and RYM likes this one a lot.

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead - Source Tags & Codes

Exceedingly long band name but this was a pretty decent album, in fact I think it wouldn't be a stretch in the imagination to say it was a pretty damn good album.

http://cdn.pitchfork.com/media/4764-...ent-on-top.jpg

Liars - They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top

I was recommended this band by my "indie go-to guy". When I asked him which album to start off with he said "well, they are known to abandon their sounds for different ones going from album to album so I think you're better off just starting at the beginning and keep trying till you find their style that works for you." I'm enjoying this album quite a bit now (I'm on "The Garden Was Crowded And Outside"), definitely one of the better dance-punk albums I've heard.

Source tags and Codes.... a darn good listen! I hope you enjoy it muchly!

I did indeed, now I'm debating on how I'm going to tag it in my data base, whether to use the band's full name or just shorten it down to Trail of Dead and put it under the T's

Plastic Beach- Gorillaz.

Meh It's Ok, nothing to excite me really.

I have it tagged under the full band name on my computer, it's a bit cumbersome, but after a while you get the point!

The Disco Biscuits - Planet Anthem

Just finished downloading so here's hoping it's good

:beer:

Cover art is kinda cool lookin'...

Lovely album. :thumb:


Another great album. The Liars album is pretty good too, only one I have from them.

Is it that cumbersome? I wouldn't alter a band's name simply for the sake of...anything. :p:

It was more of an off joke to give me reason to reply about the album. As far as procuring more Liars albums... it's up to you, but I think that their debut is probably their best, after listening to Drums Not Dead and I've read some really contrasting reviews for They Were Wrong, So We Drowned.

A couple of noisy punk albums that have been unheard for too long now.

Big Black "Songs About Fucking"
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DA6F63mYW-...s400/cover.jpg

Drive Like Jehu
http://en.academic.ru/pictures/enwik...Jehu_cover.jpg

and due to a recommendation by +81 and an interest in math rock

By The End Of Tonight/Tera Melos "Complex Full Of Phantoms"
http://www.thesirenssound.com/wp-con...toms-Split.jpg

I heard a few minutes of a song from Drums Not Dead this weekend but it was in a friend's car on a less than adequate sound system. It's also possible that I heard part of their newer album at a record store following that, which sounded more interesting (even though my friend said she's heard negative stuff about the latest. I'm checking out samples now, sounds like it could be enjoyable. F it, I'm gonna download it!

Liars - Sisterworld

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

HEALTH - Get Color

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

Downloading this right now. Clark recently did a remix of the song 'Die Slow' which is pretty bad ass so it raised my awareness of this noise rock album.

Gotthard - Lipservice

http://saraletourneau.files.wordpres...lipservice.jpg

Recommendation from my spanish friend. It's ok.

Atlas Sound - Logos

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

A friend sent me this last night. I've heard of it and have intended to check out samples, though it's not the kind of stuff I usually go after. Apparently connected to Deerhunter, who are ok. So I don't really have any high expectations but I'll check it out.

I tried that album a few months ago and I barely got through it, but the hipster kids seemed to love it.

Anyhow here's my latest catch:

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y1p2Q65XGI...deathstarr.jpg

Ringo Deathstarr - Ringo Deathstarr

Newish shoegaze band from Texas that have a funny band name. So far only a 5 track EP exists but it was pretty damn good, nothing mind shattering, but certainly better than some of the crap I've gotten over the last few days. Oh yeah, they also have a female bass player.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eQ2xqRQPkl...ows+Evolve.jpg

The Morning After Girls - Shadows Evolve

Yet another shoegazy/ psychedelic indie rocky pop band last.fm recommended me. Much like with Ringo Deathstarr it wasn't anything mind blowing, but it is a decent methadone to My Bloody Valentine's heroin.

http://www.sweetslyrics.com/poze/liars.jpg

Liars - Drum's Not Dead

So we go from a dirty dance punk band that recorded probably one of the best dance punk albums in the genre, to writing about witches and the blind ignorance of our culture, to this... I'm still not sure quite what to make of this record. It made great atmosphere for reading my book, but it just wasn't engaging. I kept it anyways and I think I'll just keep on moving up their discography till and make a final decision after I've heard their latest release.

Sunsplit - Sing For Sunday

This album will eventually warm up to me. I could definitely see myself going on a roadtrip sometime in the summer and blasting this album in the car, but it's just not doing anything for me right now. My mind isn't set towards summer, it's set towards... hell I don't know. I'm keeping it because I know I'll like it after a few more listens (like with Aeroplane over the Sea)

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned is probably my favorite Liars album, I've never understood why it gets such a mixed reaction. I'm a pretty big fan of the band in general though.

Yeah I think trying to decide a "best Liars album" is pretty impossible because of their sound departures from each one, creating new fans and alienating old ones. Still they are probably some of the most interesting musicians I never heard of until now.

Definitely one of the most interesting bands of the past decade or so for sure. I haven't given Sisterworld a listen yet, but I downloaded it a couple days ago and have really been looking forward to it.

Yeah it's definitely in the hipster/indie kid hype camp, which like I said isn't something I normally pay attention to unless it's recommended to me. We'll see!

eaststrikewest - wolvves (2009)

Post-rock with vocals and a nice aggressive aesthetic. AKA, Sigur Ros meets post-hardcore...and me likes. :)


http://bluestormmusic.com/store/imag...na_abraxas.jpg
Santana - Abraxas (1970)

A classic crunch with a side of chips & salsa. Oh yeahhh!


http://www.insideoutshop.de/images/1694_large.jpg
Vanden Plas - The God Thing (1997)

Progressive metal that doesn't fuck around. Cool thrashing, fantastic vocals and some classy songwriting all contribute to a potential favorite for Metal Mondays. All I'm missing is the right T-shirt!

Flips, Liars, Trail of Dead, Tera Melos, By The End Of Tonight, Drive Like Jehu, HEATH... You guys are picking up some albums I love!

Just checked out the samples and the vocals I heard are very un-post-hardcore to me, and rather a bit proggy at times. There's some post-hardcore in the music though, I'll give you that, even if mild for a majority of the samples. Nevertheless, this sounds interesting. I don't listen to Sigur Ros, your mention of post-hardcore is what got me interested. On my list for further investigation.

That band actually raises my eyebrow a little as something that could be kinda interesting...

http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/f/f...atest-hits.jpg

I'm really kind of in love with Falco right now

Epstein y El Conjunto - When Man Is Full He Falls Asleep

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

Downloading now through Amazon. Epstein is Roberto Carlos Lange, a Florida-born son of Ecuadorean immigrants. He records as Boom & Birds, Helado Negro, and several other names, and has collaborated with Prefuse 73 on his latest album as well as the latest Savath & Savalas album. His music (what I have heard, at least) is basically organic Latin-influenced instrumental hip-hop/glitch-hop/downtempo. Haven't heard this one yet, only found out about it this morning. The album features a collaboration with School of Seven Bells and one with Jason Trammell of Yeasayer.

from Asthmatic Kitty.com

That sounds like something I'd absolutely love. I'll have to check him out.

Les Discrets - Septembre Et Ses Dernières Pensées

downloaded it based solely off the awesome album cover. listening to it now, not unimpressed so far.

That cover artwork is kinda awesome.... sorry to hear about the musical disappointment though.... :-(

Is that one of Niege's (alcest) side-groups? Cover is sick!

hmmm, i should probably curb my use of double negatives. I know it was a poor way of phrasing it but i wasn't unimpressed or particularly impressed at the time, sorry about that, i'm terrible at expressing myself :). I still haven't made up my mind on it, so i'll have to give it another spin.

I don't think so, but i could be wrong
