The Jayhawks are a band from Minneapolis that was huge in the Alt-Country field until one of the key members left and then they kind of drifted away from the country feel.

The first two are from Hollywood Town Hall, the next two are from Tomorrow The Green Grass.

Jayhawks ~ Waiting For The Sun


The Jayhawks ~ Settled Down Like Rain


The Jayhawks ~ I'd Run Away


The Jayhawks ~ Blue

I just can't get into Wilco... i have absolutely no idea why, but I just can't... they always struck me as a bit bland, but that's just me, I don't have a huge place in my heart for alt - country either...

I'll agree with you but maybe I need to give them more listens. I dunno.

I think they're brilliant, I'm not really into alt country either but I liked the alt country feel to their first album. Have you given them a good try? If so, maybe it's just one of them things.

Liars - Drum's Not Dead

Sonic Youth - Washing Machine

Just adding to my Sonic Youth collection.

Great album^^^

I just bought:

Sonic Youth - The Eternal
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

3 excellent records.

Yeah man. I'm a big Sonic Youth fan, have just been buying all of their albums gradually so I seen The Eternal in Probe and picked it up, I'm yet to listen to it though! Always loved Grizzly Bear and I spilt beer on my copy so had to buy a new one, and have basically just been wanting to see what this hype over Phoenix was about. They're playing a couple of festivals I'm at this year so will probably get the chance to see them at some point.

going in order of preference of the 3 most recent:
Caribou - Swim

Various Artists (Mixed by Jaytech and James Grant) - Anjunadeep 02
http://www.knb2009.com/wp-content/up...ames-Grant.jpg
Minus the Bear -OMNI
http://www.bighassle.com/minusthebea...ver_select.jpg

all very gooooD.

OMNI! I most definitely need to purchase that.

That's gonna be a download-first for me. Their last was technically good but boring compared to the band's beginnings.

I might do the same. Although I can't say I dislike anything they've produced, so I might go out and just buy it. I've heard from a few people that it's awesome, but I'm just gonna see how healthy or unhealthy my bank balance is.

OMNI is much better than planet of ice. POI was their only album that I haven't been all that impressed with.

DJ Frane - Journey to the Planet of Birds

if you dig DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, RJD2, Emancipator, Nightmares on Wax...

Mm, nice!

Punk Goes Classic Rock.
I really enjoyed this album and would give it a 9.5/10
My main problem with it was that no one really changed anything, would've been nice to see something different. Great covers though.

Popol Vuh - Nosferatu (On The Way To A Little Way)

Bought two today, which is rare.

Simply because I never thought I would find it down here, despite its ginormous price tag

http://itsnaturaltobeafraid.files.wo...dtroducing.jpg
Simply because it was so cheap (I don't even love the album)

how can you not love Endtroducing...?
it's one of the best albums ever created.
it definitely holds a place in my top 10.

Eh, just never found it that amazing tbh. I can understand its significance, hardly means I have to love the music though

There's some eclectic tastes in this thread! I recently downloaded the Noisia album (Split the Atom) as well as Plan B's second album (The Defamation of Strickland Banks)! I quite like dance music and underground stuff too, but I also like chart music and I think there's a lot of good stuff out at the moment.

Has anyone else bought either of these albums?

Just saw them live again last month and I can't wait to start listening!

http://i6.fastpic.ru/big/2010/0408/d...4db26deed7.jpg
Excited to give this a listen also.

I had the misfortunate of hearing that, thought it was absolutely awful.
Yesterday I got Eels first and most recent album:
Eels: Beautiful Freak
Eels: End Times

I agree completely regarding Endtroducing. It's certainly not bad but it's not my favorite of the style.

I have been thinking of getting Noisia's album. Haven't heard of the other.

I'll be checking this out soon too.

Gogol Bordello - Trans-Continental Hustle (2010)

New Gogol Bordello album that I downloaded before I left for school but for my Zune connector cable seems to not want to work so I haven't gotten a chance to listen to it.

The Tallest Man on Earth - The Wild Hunt (2010)

I loved his 2008 release Shallow Graves so I'm hoping this album continues his winning streak.

Oh yeah I got 4 new albums yesterday.

http://www.amazing-zone.com/catalog/...in%20Tobey.jpg
Lead singer of Abe Froman, made a very nice folk album

In the process of listening to this now

http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/l...28a4-320wi.jpg

This is shaping up to be a good page. A lot of good folk/folk-punk and the Tobacco album I've been eager to hear.

http://betterpropaganda.com/images/a...yalone_480.jpg
i definately reccomend this to anyone who wants a well produced and intriguing hip hop record. Aceyalone really knows how to tell a story and weave some great lyrics, and the beats by RJD2 are eclectic and fun as hell.

speaking of RJD2

haven't listened to it yet, but will momentarily

Madlib - Madlib Medicine Show No. 4: 420 Chalice All-Stars

two thumbs way up!

http://i41.tinypic.com/2nj8fm.jpg
me, i've been on a Dylan binge. really enjoying the "bootleg series" set as well as budokan. he was just too clever.

http://www.harlanrecords.org/images/IPabe12inLRG.png

Because I enjoyed Erin Tobey's solo album, and Matty Pop Chart is completely awesome.

holy f@ck - latin

http://cm1.theinsider.com/thumbnail/...er-album-1.jpg

I'm not expecting much, but y'know... childhood nostalgia and such.

last bought vinyls

Pixies - Come On Pelgrim
The Black Keys - Tighten Up/Howlin' For You 12''

I have the instrumental to that which is not bad, and I think I've heard the regular album. But what I came here to say is that his album A Book of Human Language is my favorite of the three I've heard, and the instrumental A Book of Human Beats by Mumbles is really great too (I actually heard that before Aceyalone's album, so that's what introduced me to him).
