I have two other albums of theirs that I have'nt yet checked out but I don't have the E.P. I only heard the album today at work but it got 3 continuous plays.

I've heard Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? by Metric. It was quite a good album. A bit post-punk influenced.

Anyways... "Peregrine"- The Appleseed Cast It's like post-rock minus the long, pretentious song titles and 45 minute songs. |

Hawkwind—"Hall of the Mountain Grill" Finally checking these guys out after meaning to for years and I'm happy to report I was definitely not disappointed. God damn is this a great album! As a Motorhead fan it was cool to hear Lemmy involved in something so different, but what surprised me was how much of an obvious influence these guys were on another favorite band of mine: Alien Sex Fiend. Not only is there a similar aesthetic but the Alien Sex Fiend song "Everybody's Dream" definitely borrows very heavily from the song "The Psychedelic Warlords" from this album. The Modern Lovers—"The Modern Lovers" Excellent proto-punk. The fact that they're from my home state and have bunch of local references in their lyrics was a nice little surprise for me too. Kutiman—"Kutiman" Retro funk that somehow manages to sound modern. Songs that somehow manage to be mellow and jazzy and sort of hard rocking at the same time. I really don't know what to say about this album except that it's really good and you owe it to yourself to give it a listen. |

Jobriath : Lonely Planet Boy American Bowie. Well, not exactly. His music is not identical to Bowie's, but he hit the scene in 1973 and he was also very much in the glam-rock vein, with a similar vocal range, theatrics and range of music styles (rock, cabaret, pop, blues). He was promoted to unbelievable extents in the US and his album was released in a flurry of publicity...and then he bombed. Utterly. It's really quite hard to understand why, listening to the music. Perhaps if he had been released in London rather than in the US, he'd have met with much more success. Hearing this compilation of his very short musical career, it's a bit like uncovering a lost Bowie classic from the 1970s, it's that high quality, in my opinion. Morrissey was a big fan on his. In the early 1990s, Morrissey inquired into Jobriath being an opening act for him, only to discover that Jobriath had died in the early 1980s. Somehow, that seems to sum up the sad story of completely unfulfilled potential in a nutshell. This compilation (Lonely Planet Boy) was a compilation that Morrissey put together and released in 2003 or so. It's great music.

Cannibal Ox -The Cold Vein
I implore anyone who's even remotely interested in the underground to hear this album, if not just for the fact that it channels Wu in all the right places. I daresay it's a profound gem in indie rap that no collection would be complete without. |
