totally ****in awesome band.

Listening to Because of the Times by Kings of Leon, and in my humble opinion its freaking fantastic killer album... full of great crunchy riffs, a little introspection and just some damn great hooks! I actually really love the roughness of the lead singers voice.... and its one with a great deal of character...

It was a real darn pleasant suprise to hear this album, and I am really getting into this band.

Rodan - Rusty

glitchy, triptomatic math rock goodness. from the same group of folks that spawned Slint and June of 44, highly recommended for anyone who likes post rock. sounds like a mutant crossbreed of Slint and Shellac, equal parts melodic brilliance and sheer angry headfuck.

Six Finger Satellite - Severe Exposure

wonderful synth-based noise rock that bears a lot of resemblance to Nurse With Wound but has a bit more punch & effort in dynamic rhythm.

Bjork- Post
Screw what everyone else says, this is much, much better than Homogenic.

I am torn for eternity between the two.

I still need to hear Post. I like Homogenic a lot though.

Digging ABACAB by Genesis tonight, just because its fun, easygoing..... and I'm really tired and its quite possible I'll go to bed with the mostly pleasant sounds of this disc....

Maybe one of the best opening songs and opening lines with the song Blister in the Sun, it totally encompasses an entire attitude that ruled Rock n Roll for the longest time

"When I'm-a walkin'/ I strut my stuff /Yeah I'm so strung out./ I'm high as a kite/ I just might/ Stop and check you out."

Keith Jarrett Trio - Out-of-Towners

An exquisitely recorded live jazz album recorded live in Munich in the summer of 01'. Highly recommended to anyone interested in the jazz piano trio genre. I have it @320 (which this recording certainly deserves to be listened to at the very least) if anyone's interested.
