The music from the first two Resident Evils were effective as well, not as warped as silent hill perhaps but memorable

Yeah, its fairly ridiculous in its entirety plus the game atmosphere. Still worth a play through to this day.

Yeah the first REs were similar, though IIRC were a bit quieter in general due to the different nature between the games?

Then it got all RE4ish

I love the "UK-rock-meets-Boards-of-Canada" side of Radiohead, so I guess I'll go with Kid A and then The Bends and Amnesiac.
It kinda sucks that I already have two of their albums though. I bought OK Computer because it was the best rated, and Pablo Honey because a friend recommended it (it's good! it has Creep !... bleh ¬_¬). I would've had all their albums except In Rainbows and I would've saved a bunch of money... Too bad you can't get a refund on CDs (obviously).

The Bends is actually my favorite album by them, but Kid A is probably the more experimental, artistic one. Both of them are great and Ok Computer as well, so it doesn't matter that much which ones you start with. I still have to get Amnesiac, In Rainbows, and Pablo Honey though.

Every Time I Die "New Junk Aesthetic"
The band's newest released and exactly what I've wanted to hear from them. They drop a lot of the more melodic bits of their past two releases and reach back to their earlier material for that fast-paced, no frills rawness while not venturing too far into metal territory. Some of the most satisfying hardcore punk I've heard in a long time. Especially excellent vocal performances.

One of the best songs I've heard this year.

Listening to some good old hard crunching Aussie alternative rock, in the form of the little known outside of Australia Fini Scad, and their album, Wider Screen...

The Minister's Quartet is back with more songs about buildings, food and little boys.

A stunning debut from noted heterosexual singer Jonah Jones.

Mike Quarmbv proves once again that he's the undisputed poet laureate of the subliterate.

America's favorite cross-dressing metal band in white underwear is back with a vengence!

THis was one of those serendipitous accidents. I was hunting around the itunes store kinda' peekin' out for a nice mellow solo classical piano album to get ahold of when I decided: **** it. I'm just gonna' try to hunt down a decent copy of Chopin's Nocturnes which I've been unsuccessful at doing countless times. I found a decent file and while I was waiting for it to download I went back to itunes to see what was the most popular release of chopin's perennial work. In my search I happened to stumble onto Jacques Loussier's Impressions on Chopin's Nocturnes, which is a jazz interpretation of all 21 of Chopin's Nocturnes. I previewed a few tracks and was like "this is ****ing amazing. I'm gonna' have to hunt this down sometime." Meanwhile my file had finished downloading and as I opened it crossing my fingers that a 77 mb file was gonna give me the comprehensive nocturnes canon, I quickly realized that I had just downloaded Loussier's album. WTF? It's really every bit as amazing as I thought it would be. Anyone wanting to take a chance and venture out of the comfort zone give me a shout and I'll gladly sort you out.
