I purchased (download of) Mason Jennings' latest album Blood of Man. It's a worthy addition to his catalog. It is more electric than most of his work (he's utilized electric guitars previously but more so on this album), and it has an almost Brooklyn indie rock feel to a lot of it. It's been written up that the subject matter is darker than usual for him but I feel he's always been a bit dark so maybe they are overplaying that angle but it is true that it is a different sounding album for him. I've always dub this guy's voice and it's as good sounding as ever here. He doesn't glissando his voice on this one which he was doing a lot for a while a few LP's back and I've kinda likes, but heard criticized. Anyway it's good to hear a good new LP from him. (I never picked up his last one b/c I was lukewarm to what I'd heard of it).
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg I also picked up Mason's first LP which I've been meaning to add for a while. Now the only one I need to add from him is Century Spring. I don't find Mason's debut LP to be essential Mason. I prefer his 2nd (Birds Flying Away), 4th (Simple Life), 5th (Use Your Voice), 6th (Boneclouds) and 7th & most recent (Blood of Man). Haven't heard his 3rd (Century Spring) yet. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg Lastly, I bought the download version of Two Sevens Clash (the 30th Anniversary Edition) from Culture. I've been meaning to get this for a while and I noticed there's this new version now available with 5 add'l tracks, for a $7.99 download so I went for it. I first head about this from watching The Clash documentary Westway to the World; Joe or Mick mentioned it. Then I picked a few Culture tracks from Gavin's 100 Great Reggae Tracks thread. None from this LP though. I'm not blown away by this LP. It's OK. None of the tracks blow me away. Jah Pretty Face is my favorite. I much prefer the track Dem A Payaka that I picked from the Gavin thread and is from Culture's next LP, Baldhead Bridge. I will go for that next. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA240_.jpg http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA240_.jpg EDIT: PS - oops I meant to post this in the "albums you've recently bought or downloaded" thread. |
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...clavealbum.jpg (1991) A CD that contains all 11 songs released by this short-lived DC band, similar to another excellent Dischord group called One Last Wish. Except this is an all-girl math rock combo and one of them later formed Helium, who were a bit grungier but still tops. http://www.rsteviemoore.com/img2/TPcass.jpg Flawless 1983 cassette-only compilation from one of the last respectable publications left, their listener guides were/are awesome. The most well-known groups (to the modern listener at any rate) on here are easily the Residents and Pylon... the general vibe is a dynamic combo of power pop and post-punk, home-recorded stuff... people who can f*cking write songs and surprise you at the same time. fookin grait mate. |

Experimental space rock at it's absolute tops. Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecologyst http://comp.missouri.edu/blogs/eatho...dr-octagon.png What's wrong with me? I just heard this for the first time this morning as well. I fail. |
