Got these at a record show a couple days ago... mm good stuff. The Eno is really good; kinda makes me wonder why he isn't more well known as an artist.

FINALLY found a download of this:

The Yuppie Pricks "Brokers Banquet"

Can't wait to hear this.

I was in Best Buy yesterday and I bought my first real (non-MP3) album in almost a year, Gogol Bordello's Trans-Continental Hustle. It was the only cd in the store that was worth pay $12.99 for.

I'm amazed at how quickly both Best Buy and Borders have scaled down their music sections over the past couple years. It's all the lowest common denominator pop hits and forget if you're looking for anything in electronica, reggae, blues, jazz or more esoteric pop music.

The one independent record store in my town is thriving because they no longer have competition from chain record stores and if you want anything other than the latest Lady Gaga album, you're going to end up buying it from them.

I picked up Trans-continental Hustle at Best Buy last Tuesday for $10, but that was the deal for getting it the day it came out. I was there yesterday and the new Godsmack CD was only $7.99 but I still decided to download it...

Broken Social Scene - Lo-Fi For The Dividing Nights EP

Most Brian Eno's pop oriented music remains outside of mainstream tastes but it has aged better than much of the pop music 70s. It's hard to believe that Before & After Science was made nearly 4 decades ago. There are still songs on B&AS that are still a challenge to listen but nearly every song on B&AS delivers rewards with repeated listening.

It will probably take 100 years for the general public to appreciate the significance of his more experimental ambient & electronic music projects like Music for Airports which laid the foundation for most contemporary electronic music. Eno was pushing full tilt with his unorthodox ambient/electronic music, at a time when Switched On Bach by Walter/Wendy Carlos was most people's idea of electronic music. Until Eno, electronic music was more a novelty genre and most producers and musicians didn't quite know what to make of electronica or how to use in their own music.

Eno made a quartet of pop music albums in the 70s that were each classics in their own right:

Here Comes the Warm Jets (1974)
Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy (1974)
Another Green World (1975)
Before & After Science (1977)

At the time the Eno's approach on these albums sounded radical to untrained ears but have a less startling effect on the listener nearly 4 decades later. Still all four albums sound modernist in the 2010 here and now. Each of the four albums have been recently remastered and are available digi-pack format (instead of the jewel box package) on the European EG label. Up until the reissue in 2004 these four albums had been out of issue and were nearly impossible to find in any format vinyl or compact disc.

My favorite of the four albums is Another Green World which features my all time favorite Eno song St. Elmo's Fire in which Robert Fripp tears a hole in the cosmos with a guitar solo that would make Hendrix grovel in awe from his heavenly throne. The Fripp and Eno collaborations, especially No Pussyfooting (1973) contain some of the most forward thinking music of that era.

I love the low tech psychedelica of this homemade video to St. Elmo's Fire:

50 cents on vinyl

I've never heard Tommy. Which is weird, since in the film Almost Famous it was the record that changed that kids life. Listening to Tommy in the dark with a Candle. :D I really should listen to it one day

Not thier best by miles but awesome none the less you're in for a treat.

I doubt Who's Next would stop being my favourite Who record, but you never know..

Samesies. Behind Blue Eyes is my favourite song of all time.

Tommy is one of the few pop records I can listen to over, and over, and over again in never get sick of. Oddly enough I'm not even very fond of the Who's other albums.

If the cover of your vinyl album of Tommy is in mint condition, you've hit the jackpot! I've seen collectors pay as much as $50 for a first issue of cover of Tommy in mint condition and they usually don't care what condition the records are in because they only collect album covers.

Who would have thought all the real value of all of those 33 rpm vinyl albums wasn't the music, but the cover artwork? It makes me wish I would have left all of my vinyl records in their original cellophane wrappers.

Download:
Mono - Hymn to the Immortal Light
Great post-rock album from this japanese band.


Bought:
Ef - Mourning Golden Morning
Propably going to be the best post-rock album for me this year.

Alamaailman Vasarat - Vasaraasia

http://img.noiset.com/images/album/a...cover-342.jpeg

Finnish instrumental band without guitars, some punk-jazz, it doesn't fit to some genre... They play soprano sax, trombone, pump organ, cellos and drums... Crazy, funny, amazing music :)

The Steepwater Band ~ Grace & Melody (on vinyl!)

Just in time for thier new one, eh?

http://imgur.com/bpxu7.jpg

Only heard a couple of the songs but I liked what I heard so I'm giving it a listen

Yeah, word of the new album was another nagging voice to me.

All leaks... I"m a bad man.

Circa Survive - Blue Sky Noise

It's... ok, not bad by any means but I much prefer his earlier albums.

I fell in love with two tracks however: "Frozen Creek" and "Spirit of the Stairwell" :love:

Just kind of throwing this out there as a general comment, but when the album cover doesn't list the artist's name it's kind of hard for anyone to know who you're talking about unless they already know the album. Know what I mean? :)

Oh fuck... I thought I included it, lol

(Edited post)

Opening for Primus later this summer! :wavey:

The JDs - Education

New album from Jack Dangers (of Meat Beat Manifesto) and Jon Drukman (of Bass Kittens) that was just released this week. Digital-only. I'm playing it now and it's pretty sweet.

There's an artist I haven't listened to in a long time. Can't remember which of them they are, but I've got a couple of albums of theirs which are pretty cool. Must remember to get round to them again sometime.

The Blood of Heroes - The Blood of Heroes

Debut album of a kind of... reggaecore/industrial metal/experimental/drum and bass band.

Still not sure what I think of it, but the cover art is sexy

What is your friend

I'm kind of on a downloading binge today. A little progressive metal for the soul.

The Kills - Keep On Your Mean Side
I love the production on this album and the way the guitars sound like they're in the room with you, and i think i'm falling in love with Alison Mosshart's voice. A great garage-rock album.

http://www.addictmusic.co.uk/wp-cont...ls-299x300.jpg
The National-High Violet
It's not the same as prising the CD in your shaking hands, but I shake with anticipation staring at the .rar folder.

I want to check this album out just because of the cover art

Kool G Rap & DJ Polo - Live and Let Die

I heard the first two albums years ago and for some reason kept delaying hearing this one.

It got to the point last weekend that I was checking basically every 2 hours or so for a 320/FLAC rip. No letdown, either. Such good stuff. Lemonworld is just ****ing unbelievable, and after reading the NY Times article on the making of it and the rest of this album I have to say I appreciate it even more.

Weezer - Weezer

So, yeah, I'm brushing up on my ambient here. I'm listening to the one on the left at the minute and, needless to say, it's pretty damn cool stuff. Great mix of some of the more familiar artists to me (Aphex Twin, Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, Tangerine Dream, David Sylvian etc) with a bundle I've never heard of before, drawing in sounds from dub, modern electronica, krautrock and prog. Good job I found the above two as well, as I'm pretty sure they're out of print these days.

I've been on a bit of a binge and so there are far too many for cover art.

Alcest - Le Secret EP
Alcest - Tristesse Hivernale
Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs (heard it but never downloaded it)
Deep Purple - Shades of Deep Purple
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Deep Purple - Who Do We Think We Are

Some of these are albums ive wanted for a while and some of them are blind downloads of bands playing Download Festival this year. So some of them are probably gonna be shit./ Im really enjoying the Rolo Tomassi record though.

The last thing I downloaded was moby's Last night album, but i have not had the pleasure of listening to it yet, i believe it will be a must for my listening program tonight once the headphones go on!
