Port O'Brien-The Wind and the Swell
A permanent add to my collection

I'm a sucker for indie folk done right. That's what this simply is. There's a few dull spots but that's pretty much made up for by exceptionally goodness of other songs.
Really good songs: I Woke Up Today, My Eyes won't Shut, Five and Dime
Kind of boring: A Puffin, A Branch of You and Me, Tree Bones

97. Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet:
Savvy Show Stoppers

Canadian instrumental neo-surf rock has never sounded so cool or really been done that much anyway. Canada isn't known for its beaches and sunny days but Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet seem to suck you into that world anyway.

For those of you who don't think white kids can rap, listen to this. The production and beats are excellent and the lyrics are silly as they are brilliant.

I love Beauty and The Beat, don't have this.

Since I'm still earlier in the list would anyone mind if I took off the more known albums on my list in favor of more obscure albums? I mean Elliott Smith, Neutral Milk Hotel, etc all the stuff I use to talk about alot isn't on here because nothing on the old list is going to appear here but there's about ten or so albums that get discussed pretty frequently on there now.

Sounds good to me.

It has this kind of beyond lo-fi sound that Ariel Pink uses that I really don't like. I mean I like lo-fi because it sounds sincere, authentic and real. So this severe under production has the same affect on me as over production. It's just kind of gross. As far as musical content goes. It's a pretty solid album.

I think Ariel Pink is pretty sincere. He's trying to recreate something he loves and his music is nostalgic to the bone. He's said that he's trying to use cassette as a instrument just as much as a medium; its a reaction to the fact that just about anyone can make a pristine album these days and also a way of creating a special type of texture and atmosphere.

I can understand not liking it, but to say he is less sincere than, say, Pavement or Sebadoh, I think, is misguided. He justs dresses his music in different clothing than those guys do. Listen to "Immune to Emotion"; lyrically, it sounds like it could have been written by Lou Barlow.
