Bad Astronaut - Houston: We Have A Drinking Problem

Punk rockin' fun! With more instruments than usual, for a slight indie flair. A more serious/mature Lagwagon. I love these guys, too bad they are over.

been feeling nostalgic today...

i love this album. i can't help it. i stole this CD from my mum when i was a kid. still have it.

one of the first CDs i ever bought. well no i didn't buy it. i asked my big brother to get it for me for my birthday. i was maybe 14. he couldn't find it, so he gave me his copy.

i will never get bored with this one. absolute classic. it might even end up in my top 10, if i were forced to decide...

Junkyard - S/T
Brian Baker of Minor Threat & Chris Gates of Big Boys try to record their own version of Appetite For Destruction. Typical average late 80s sleaze rock but the track 'Hollywood' is wonderful. Shame their punk roots didn't show through a little better.

Fatal Microbes - Violence Grows
This is either a single or an E.P. (RYM says it's a 2 song single, mine has 3 songs) of a long lost post punk classic that was absolutely huge in 1979 apparently and seems to have been forgotten about since then. It featuring the vocals of Honey Bane, someone who I seem to remember Hank Rollins mentioning a few times.
This is all they ever recorded.

Sore Throat - Disgrace To The Corpse Of Sid
I have wanted this album ever since I first heard about it in 1988.
101 Songs
40 Minutes
90 of those songs are on Side One alone.
When they stop pissing around and do some proper material (i.e. The 11 songs on Side Two) they're actually rather good.

Specials - S/T
Timeless.

Air - Moon Safari
This is such a chilled-out album. The perfect album for lying back, putting on a pair of headphones and drifting away to a land free of stress and worry. A classic.

Air - The Virgin Suicides
The music they made for the movie The Virgin Suicides. This album complements the movie so well, there is a real sense of mystery and unease in the music yet it still manages to sound really beautiful. It also completely defies all genres.

you should check out the Playground Love single, it has some remixes that are worth checking out.

Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island

Yes, I've always preferred this one to the other.

Talkie Walkie is a pretty damn good album as well. But those two really are their best

I just don't get NMH whatsoever and yes I have given them a good listen.
