Scott Walker - And Who Shall Go To the Ball? And What Shall Go To the Ball?

^ His 2007 avante-classical EP that I discovered the existence of only a few days ago. It sounds a bit like the Drift, only entirely instrumental of course. Good, pretty damn strange stuff.

V/A - I'm Your Man OST

^ A tribute album to Mr. Cohen which, despite the title, has a tracklisting that spans across the man's whole career. The absolute peak of it's definitely Nick Cave's beautiful version of Suzanne (which, to be honest, is the main reason I got this), but there are other great contributions from Jarvis Cocker, Martha Wainwright, the McGarrigle sisters and so on.

Wilco-Kicking Television
Perfect soundtrack to LONG bus journeys,and you appreciate how good the A Ghost Is Born material is all the more afterwards.

Agreed, a really interesting listen even if it sometimes verges on losing me. I have to remember to listen to it more often.

An absolute work of art. 10/10 Can't even attempt to pick a favorite song of it because they are all so wonderful. I mostly like it because of how natural and primal it sounds, none of those sythesized elements- which is my favorite kind of reggae.
And how cool is that album artwork? Its now the background on my computer
Ha, I asked for that one for Christmas. Can't go wrong with 10/10 I suppose.

I've been listening to this lately - it's Fripp, Barry Andrews and Sara Lee (funny name I know) doing danceable new wave/pop. In all honesty it is rather patchy and was probably intended to be more of a s[color=black]hits and giggles jam than a serious studio recording, but songs like the one below are fun.

Cool album that, JH turned me onto it.

What's this? A new math rock album that doesn't sound like ideas that have been beaten to death a thousand times over. The same group who brought energetic post-punk back to the forefront redefined themselves on this album, and a superb transition it is. Might even eclipse Today's Active Lifestyles on their depth chart.
I particularly liked this video - like their earlier work, it too gives me the whole "wtf this sounds like no band i've ever heard but it's awesome" vibe. Definitely gonna check this out.

I just finished with her first album with Gang of Four, "Songs for the Free", which is my second fav LP from those commie bastards. She injects much more of a funk beat into the group and it works very well with Andy Gill's groovy James Brown rhythm work. There's a lot of great stuff on it like the brooding "History of the World", but "Muscle For Brains" has been embedded in my cranium for the last several days.

Whipping Boy-Whipping Boy
Heartworm is possibly the best album ever made.But this shouldn't be overlooked as a worthy addition to their all-too-small discography and a stunning piece of indie rock in it's own right.

Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport

Shot straight to being one of my favourites this year. I think people are a bit divided over them here because of the background distortion but thats toned down a bit here, the music concentrates more on the beats and its so easy to get absorbed into. I would happily recommend it to anyone here.
