Bob, I will listen to your recommendation next, definitely. RVCA sent me this first and I ended up getting to it first, but you have not been ignored!

I thought that this was a really good album. I'm a big fan of brooding albums, and this was beautiful. I imagine that if Wilco were to collaborate with the National, it would be something like this, haha. Blue Pail Fever was a stand out track, and the cover of Ain't No Sunshine was a powerful take. I'm a fan. Definitely going to explore this discography.

And now I pass on another rec, for Zero1986:

Holly Miranda - The Magician's Private Library

I know you enjoy quite a lot of dream pop, and this is a lovely album that takes a lot of cues and I think you'll enjoy.

Thanks for this one i really enjoyed it. When i listened to the first track it sounded a little bit like Cocteau Twins gone twee, but as the next track came on the album turned into something a little bit different. One description that came into my head as i was listening to it is that she sounds a bit like Tegan and Sara lost in a dark forest with Beach House. It sounds a bit dark and twisted in places and has a nice dreamy feel to it. I'm very impressed by her vocals, they sound really gorgeous and captivating. Also looking at pictures of her, she is seriously gorgeous.

I sent this album to duga:

Adorable - Against Perfection (1993)

We both have a very similar taste in music and i've really been enjoying this album lately so i thought you might like it as well. This band were initially lumped in with shoegaze in the early 90's but they pretty much broke the mold with this album, their strong songwriting abilities and memorable tunes distanced themselves somewhat from their peers. Their record label Creation however didn't bother much with them and crippled the band's commercial potential.

"It's glorioooooooouuuus!"

Hehe, good recommendation, I agree that they had an immense commercial potential, some of the songs just stick with you. Glorious and Sunshine Smile come to mind really.

Edit: bob., could you send that firewater album my way? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I'll check this out and report back here. This is a great thread idea!

I'll have to think on some recommendations...

Great album (I'm sure Pedestrian loved it). Speaking of which... whatever happened to him?

I think Pedestrian is a her, and I don't know... s/he disappeared. S/he's still scrobbling on LastFM though.

Let's hope that people come back and actually review these albums they are sent.

All right pink freud, I want to send you something but you listen to everything. You like post-punk though, right? I have something that you might've never heard, but I'm not sure if it qualifies as the "kind of music you wouldn't listen to".

This is an awesome idea Rezz! And thanks for the album. I have heard of it, but never listened to it, so I'm looking forward to it, and I'll most definitely come back here and let y'all know how it went.
