Vivian Girls - Everything Goes Wrong I'm really enjoying this album. It's lo-fi, has great pop hooks and is full of raw energy. The Acorn - Glory Hope Mountain I've had this album for a while now and it's a real slow-burner. An excellent folk-rock album with instrumentation and vocals that most similar bands would kill for.

Killing Joke - What's THIS For...!
I'm liking this more now, it's grown on me since the last time. I'm also going to listen to the following two albums for the first time, soon.

for example... neither of these sound really much like each other and they're both considered 'math rock'. Also both these albums are from the last 2-3 years. |

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Aww yeah. This may actually be the first time I've run through this from start to finish. Now wait let me explain...I've had the 4-disc box set (the one with the crop circles image) since I was about 15 (a long time ago). This box set only omitted a few tracks from each album (more from the later albums), so I never really felt the need to check out the complete albums. Especially since I'd gotten burned out on many of the popular songs long ago. But I decided maybe last year that I'd slowly but surely check out each album as they were intended to be heard. Some of the omitted songs are duds (not just from this album), some are really good, such as "Down by the Seaside" and the closer "Sick Again". I ought to make myself a little playlist of all the tracks not on the 4-disc set, and see what really stands out, and to become more familiar with them. Catch up in a way. Anyway, one of my all-time favorite Zeppelin songs is on here, "Ten Years Gone".

Kenny Barron and Charlie Haden - Night and the City (Live)
Been listening to this quite alot lately at night. Kenny Barron on the piano and bassist Charlie Haden are a great pair, playing live with a hushed audience that you can barely hear from time to time. Just a really cool disc to chill out too. |

Quite a good song but the first few minutes are pretty boring. After that it rocks.

Stu if you haven't yet, you must listen to Street Horrsing. I'm still not sure which I like more, but they're both brilliant and a good bit different. I imagine from your taste you'd like it more than Tarot Sport, but of course I don't know.
Anyway... Ex Cocaine's side is pretty good, but as I expected Yellow Swans destroys. Frisk Frugt - Gulldtrompeten This is a completely random one I grabbed on my trip to NY, and damn it shocked me. Not too sure how to describe this music, it's experimental but quite all over the place. Country, jam, noise, drone, and often something that sounds like the music from old NES tracks (chiptune, perhaps?) combined with an experimental jam. Fantastic stuff. |

Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Moderator cut: image removed I've yet to hear Presence, In Through the Out Door, and Coda in their entirety, but I can confidently say that this is my favorite Zeppelin album. Not every song is perfect ("The Crunge", eww) but it's darn close otherwise. Fuuuck...if any Zeppelin song was ever too short, it's "No Quarter".
