Any relation to the Dust Brothers (from Fight Club)?No, but The Chemical Brothers originally called themselves The Dust Brothers (in homage to the 'real' Dust Brothers on the other side of the pond) but had to change it when the lawyers came calling (hence the name of the first album). Edit: Just read your edit.:) The Chemical Brothers albums are more like the Crystal Method stuff IMO (though I'd agree the Brothers are much more 'downbeaty'). The Dust Brothers are more producer types, and as far as I know the Fight Club soundtrack is their only album. Edit2: Reply 1000!:eek. Going Down South - RL Burnside.This song is truly badass.
The entire Ass Pocket of Whiskey album is badass. And when this was first released back in 1996, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (they backed up RL on this album) were at the very peak of their badassedness. In sum, this song and every other one on it was awesome. Except for Tojo Told Hitler. That song was just fucked up. For all you kids out there that weren't very old when Jon Spencer was cool, go dig up his stuff on BitTorrent or iTunes.Just saw this performed on Conan and immediately bought it with iTunes - good stuff, check it out Paolo Nutini - New Shoes (whoops - direct link doesn't work try this one for the artist and click on New Shoes Reminds me of the last time I really dug something by a band I've never heard of when they played it on Conan, which was My Morning Jacket. Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City A very solid album.InactionMan: I've never been a huge TM fan (I can't get past her voice, honestly), but Red Heaven and the 2003(?) self-titled release seem to be the most talked about.
I love a good female voice, and hers certainly isn't bad, but there's just something in there that turns me off.: I've been going back and listening to a lot of my old Cat Power lately (Dear Sir, Covers Record, Moon Pix, What Would the Community Think) and damn.I really like her.Any Throwing Muses fans here at the Nova? I've never listened to anything by them and want some advice on where to start.So advise me. That takes me back a bit. I had the albums Red Heaven (1992) and The Real Ramona (1991), which I enjoyed at the time, although I haven't listened to them in ages. I seem to remember that they were a little more poular in the UK than they were in the States and were often compared to the Pixies.I'm currently listening to The Letting Go by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.
I was on the iTunes Store last night and noticed a new single from Feist (I plunked down my three bucks for the EP and have since listened to My Moon My Man about 15 times. I also bought tickets for her show at Massey Hall in May. After a ten year run, Feist has overtaken Kim Deal as My Favourite Chick in Music.I've kindly tracked down an mp3 (of the song for the good people at AN but I implore you to go to your local iTunes Store and give her your money. Her last album was called Let it Die, you should buy it. When her new album comes out in May, you should buy it. Well, I've gone and downloaded an assload of albums from the good people at Arts & Crafts and instead I'm listening to Midlake's - Young Bride.

Her last album was called Let it Die, you should buy it.When her new album comes out in May, you should buy it. Feist is fantastic, I'm going to see her at the Shepherds Bush Empire on th 17th April. There is a song on her forthcoming album called Intuition which is wonderful, her voice breaks my heart. They're going to be in town on April 3rd, but being a new daddy is going to make me miss the show.:(:D Come on, go!
It's not like you're indispensible all of a sudden.I'm sure your wife can hold down the fort for a few hours.:):) In fact, I think new parents should get out and maintain some of their pre-baby independence, just doing adult things. In this case, you'd be on your own or with friends (i.e., not as a couple) but what the heck. Twocents of unsolicited counsel.;) Listening to?I've a new fetish for listening to a radio station I found thru the iTunes radio tuner: non-stop Hawaiian music. I kid you not.
Relaxes me to no end.:o:lol: iTunesRadioInternationalA Hawaiian Rainbow HawaiianRainbow.com - Hawaiian music - Streaming da kine in stereo since 1999!! Hawaiian, World Have fun at the show torifile.John Lennon turns in his grave.:D Well, you're right zippy, and no offence!
There's some Macca in Mika.But, to be honest, mostly I hear Freddy M. Doin' some serious vacuum cleaning on this album. There are a lot of people who really dig this album. I must have missed the point. Can anybody explain what is great about Mika? That's the great thing about music, and individual taste: there's plenty of both to go around.I'm not going to try to convince you that you should like this, because if you don't, you don't.;) I guess what I find appealing, is the light, fun sound of it that kind of takes me back, but with new music. See, it sort of sounds like stuff I listened to when I was younger, but it's new.
After a while, even the old favorites get a little weary, so this is a good substitute.And another plus, it's clean, which is great when you've got kids around. I am so sick of listening to 'Kids Bop' versions of songs /need a puke smiley/ just to keep the wee ones from hearing stuff they really don't need to be hearing yet. Sort of a tangent, but can anyone tell me who the artist is that starts playing about exactly half way through this video see link two posts below Start where the scene shifts to the guy working on his laptop at the train station. About 20 seconds later, the producer with the glasses (Mark Harrison) says '.it actually makes the entire film-making process more effective and better valued.'
RIGHT THEN, this smooth groove music kicks in. Anyone know?) The first 1:20 or so, is Thievery Corporation but not sure who the other artist is, or if the music playing from the train station sequence is a prelude to the music described above, or two totally different artists. Firstly, the new Feist album is out in every record store on earth.Listen to it, love it, buy it. She's going to be all over the place by mid-summer so you may as well start listening now. Secondly, Marnie (Stern (She's decided to bring finger tapping to the world of indie rock.and god bless her for it. Ever since Sleater-Kinney broke up I had no idea what I'd do when I needed to listen to a chick rock out.
Thank you, Marnie!:D Marnie Stern - Every Single Line Means Something ((Turn your volume up before clicking the link). Patti Smith covering Bob Dylan's Changing of the Guards (An awesome and underappreciated Dylan tune.This album is pretty interesting, she even covers Nirvana.
Some of them work, some don't, even if you're a Patti Smith fan (which I am).The iTunes reviewers are right, nobody but Grace Slick should attempt White Rabbit. Gimme Shelter is a good one though. Dylan cover definitely my favorite. Rock on Patti! The Raconteurs (released an acoustic version of 'Steady, As She Goes' about a year ago (on a limited edition 7-inch vinyl which was fetching £50 on eBay!).I was just listening to it again now. It's beautiful and funny and addictive. I scoured the web for this track and eventually found it as an FLV file (with a 160 kbps MP3 track) here: Option-click to download in Safari, then play with VLC or QuickTime (if you have Perian installed).
The vinyl version sounds far richer but you should get the idea from this file. By the way, the site above requires registration but I think the link should work without doing that.If it doesn't, PM me and I guess I could offer some advice.;) You can also listen to the original version on the band's fantastic website here (but it's less interesting and a bit boring in comparison. My top 25 after syncing my iPod just now. With play count.
So what's up with this Maroon 5 thing (and why should I care? Anyone recommend them?Will anyone remember them in 10 years?
Fell in love with their first album., Songs About Jane before they got popular. A little bit over them now. I haven't even heard anything off the new album yet. Probably worth a listen though. I suppose you could call it pop, but it's not your Britney Spears type of pop.ITunes classifies it as 'Alternative & Punk'.
I wouldn't have called it that.at least, I think it was their first. We let this thread fall to the THIRD page! Clairaudients (Kill Or Be Killed) (Cassadaga. I just got this album (an actual CD rather than a download) so I don't know how it is yet. But if you're on the fence about the CD or the download, get the CD.The art is very cool and you'll miss out if you just buy it from iTunes. And it was only $9.99 at Target this week.

And it was only $9.99 at Target this week.I got that cd awhile ago and I must say I like it. It's different than other Bright Eye's cd's, but it's still good. It has that country-feel to it. It's good crusing music with the windows down.Man, we're really neglecting this thread. I just downloaded the new Spoon album from eMusic.
It's freaking awesome.They just keep getting better and better. Also, one of my favourite Canadian bands, Stars, have a new album coming out in September.They knew it would leak long before the release date so they did the only reasonable thing - they released in online before the pirates could beat them to the punch. Here's the news release from the record label's site: On September 25th, We will release Stars' fourth studio album, In Our Bedroom After War. We love it and are excited and proud to be bringing it to the world. We enlisted Joe Chiccarelli to mix the album. He finished in early June, passing the tapes along to Emily Lazar at the Lodge for mastering. Last Friday, July 6th, a final master was delivered to us.Traditional music business practice says we are to begin sending out copies of this album now.
We give advance copies to print publications in hopes of securing features that coincide with our September date.We meet with radio stations in hopes of securing airplay. Inevitably someone will leak the album. Throughout this process, the most important people in this value chain, the fans, are given only two options - wait until September 25th to legally purchase the new album or choose from a variety of sources and download the album for free, at any time. We hope you'll choose to support the band, and choose to pay for their album. However we don't think it's fair you should have to wait until September 25th to do so. We believe that the line between the media and the public is now completely grey. Paolo Nutini These StreetsWhat is the difference between a writer for a big glossy music magazine and a student writing about their favourite bands on their blog?
What differentiates a commercial radio station from someone adding a song to their lastfm channel? Or their myspace page? As such, we are making the new Stars album available for legal download today, four days after it's completion. The CD and double vinyl versions of the album will still be released on our official release date, September 25th.
We hope you will continue to support music retailers should a physical album in all it's packaged glory be your choice of format. It's our hope that given a clear, legal alternative to downloading music for free, you will choose to support the creators.We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Sincerely, Stars and Arts & Crafts LINK! (In response, Canadians have made it the number one album on iTunes, topping new albums from Interpol, Smashing Pumpkins and The White Stripes. I don't know if they're releasing it every country early but if they do I'd highly recommend spending the ten bucks to get it.Not only is it great music but it's also worth supporting artist that take this kind of stance to their music. Good show, kids!:). The best album of 2007?
Surely hyperbole? It's very good - for pop rock.;) It's obviously highly polished and some of the songs are rather catchy.But does it have the depth to last? I need some convincing.
My rule of thumb is: if I love a song on the first or second listen, then I'm not going to love it for long. To get long-term satisfaction there has to be proper musical depth there. And generally, the funkier and less accessible early on, the better it becomes as I penetrate the complex melody.I also have a serious weakness - bordering on obsession - for really strange or unexpected timing that makes no sense to my not-particularly-gifted ear during early listens, but becomes deeply satisfying over time. Besides, you're mistaken about the best track: it's clearly Don't You Evah, though Eddie's Ragga is good too.
But Rhythm & Soul is good, of course. The clapping, shouts and some of the guitar work in The Underdog reminds me of Burlap To Cashmere's phenomenal album, Anybody Out There?
They encoded the MP3s on that site with iTunes?I do think it's a good album despite these remarks. The best album of 2007? Surely hyperbole? It's very good - for pop rock.;) It's obviously highly polished and some of the songs are rather catchy.But does it have the depth to last?

I do think it's a good album despite these remarks.It's a bit of hyperbole but it's really been a while since I frothed over an album the way I'm frothing over Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga.
We'll see if I'm still digging it as much in a few weeks. I think I like You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb so much because it reminds me a bit of Elvis Costello's High Fidelity.
So I still think Spoon's new album is the best of the year. But that's not what this post is about.This post is about me having 5 downloads left this month on my eMusic account. So I'm looking for suggestion on either EPs or some old Jazz or Classical album that only has five tracks. I have a bunch of albums queued up for next month but I hate the idea of only downloading half now and half in August. I love eMusic but I hate the my downloads don't roll over to the next month. So suggest some EPs or anything that'll gobble up my remaining downloads.
I hate it when that happens.Here's a few ideas: (5) MONO & World's End Girlfriend - Palmless Prayer / Mass Murder Refrain ((5) Tokyo Police Club - Smith (& Your English Is Good ((5) Russian Circles - Live at Shubas ((5) The Microphones - Mount Eerie ((5) Beauty Pill - The Cigarette Girl From the Future ((5) TV On The Radio - Young Liars ((5) Minus The Bear - Bands Like It When You Yell 'YAR' At Them (Some others for future filler: (4) Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven ((3) Mogwai - 4 Satin EP ((3) June Of 44 - Anatomy Of Sharks ((2) American Analog Set - Late One Sunday And The Following Morning ((1) Mogwai - My Father, My King ((1) Modest Mouse And 764 Hero - Whenever You See Fit ((1) Plan 9 From Outer Space. Simple Things from Zero 7.
Never heard of this duo before this weekend.Went looking for new Thievery Corporation material but didn't find anything compelling since Cosmic Game. However, Amazon and iTunes both noted this Zero 7 band as one that TC fans also buy.
So I took a sampling of the Simple Things (most popular) CD and it sounded pretty smooth and tripped out without being boring. Have to say I've been pleasantly surprised. There's more lyrics / singing than in most TC albums, but also some killer instrumental mix stuff without getting to electronic sounding.
I'd describe it as a sort of cross between TC and, but much less edgy / more smooth on the lyrics.The woman who sings on track 3 (Destiny) has some serious skill and it's a totally groovin' track besides. Recommend it to any who like the sort of eclectic mix-a-lot-to-make-something-new sound. That's one of my all time favourite CDs (I can see why.
I haven't stopped listening to it yet.:D Pretty much unchecked two tracks and let the thing loop endlessly all day while I work. I noticed garden is almost as popular.In your opinion is it as good / similar style and sound? That said, I was never able -even with the help of other sites- to determine the musical artist from that BBC Final Cut promo spot.If you go here (and wait until about the 1 minute, 50 second mark (the scene when all the double-decker buses cuts in and the guy is saying 'makes the production process better valued' on the voice over). You'll hear some really chillin' music. The first track is from Thievery Corporation (which I have), but I have no idea who the second artist is. I've asked about 20 people (including a couple from Apple's Marketing group) who this is, and nobody can figure it out.If we can figure that Herb Alpert song out from 30 years ago we can figure this out damnit!:) Can't we.?:eek: Someone's gotta know.
I finally made my own music myspace site.Ive been writing songs and finally recorded a couple. Lemme know what you think. Ps: i suck at singing and these are the first attempts ive ever done at this solo acoustic/singing thing. I posted a new song today called '21 Candles' check it out and lemme know what you think.If you have myspace, add me as a friend and leave me a comment pa-pa-please?! Edit: I just wrote and recorded another one. It's called 'You Wouldn't Last In My World'. Lemme know what you think of both of them.
Yah seriously, I rule because NOBODY can figure out who the second artist in that BBC - Apple promo thing is. Remember that Herb Alpert song Paul (or was it Drew?) couldn't figure out and was trying to stump everyone? Yah this bit kicks that song's ass because it's an uber-mystery.I even dangled the mighty 3-song iTunes gift-carrot in front of you all, and still I am met with silence. You call yourselves music fans. YOU ARE NUHSING!:D I have absolutely no clue who that artist is.I can't even say it sounds like anyone I know.
Judging by this play count. Must revoke any doubts I expressed about the album having lasting appeal. So thanks for the heads up about Spoon: I've really enjoyed Ga x5 and in fact, still do. Surprising but true!
You have my play count beat.Most the songs on Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga are only in the low thirties for me. It'd be higher but I'm forcing myself to listen to all the artists nominated for the Polaris Music Prize (I don't have a favourite yet but I'm pretty damn sure The Dears won't win because their album is giant pile of crap.
It's just so fucking boring. As to what I'm listening to right now, that would be last weeks CBC Radio 3 podcast (Episode #116) that covered some of the classic Canadian indie bands from the 1990s.They're going to have to do a sequel because they missed so many great band but it's a good collection of CanCon from my youth. The podcast does have two of my favourites from the nineties - Thrush Hermit's From the Back of the Film and the Inbreds Any Sense of Time. They put the wrong cub song (it should've been New York City not Ticket to Spain and the wrong Furnaceface song (it should've been If You Love Her, Buy Her a Gun) but all in all it's a great little compilation. If you want to hear the awesomeness of old Canadian indie then check out your country's iTunes page for the CBC Radio 3 page. I am guessing Mika is already in this thread as it came up on a search but I am too damn lazy to go through all 40 odd pages.Anyone who has not heard of Mika yet should go and give this guys music a try. The best thing is you can pick out the musical influences in each song.
Everything from Cutting Crew, MJ, The Beetles, George Michael, ABBA, the list goes on. He says he doesn't know many instruments so makes up for a lot of that by diversity in his voice. And boy, does he! Awesome funky, crazy, lates 70's / early 80's freaky music. I absolutely love it, and have the album on loop at the moment!My girlfriend had Mika on repeat last time I was in Paris.
She got it from her workmate who had it on repeat. I've got it in my iTunes library but I'm kinda scared of ending up with it on repeat.:lol: Go for it!;) I think the reason you can put his album on repeat is there are so many different musical styles.And it really is like a trip through an eclectic mix of other musicians styles. The first time I listened to it through I kept thinking we had switched to another album, and wondered who the artist was doing the song we were currently listening to. Mantaray (by Siouxsie (no more Banshees). The Queen of Goth goes sorta mainstream. She's almost 50 and still rocks.
Into a Swan has wormed its way into my brain and I just can get it out. I'm on board with the R.E.M.If I was stranded on a desert island with nothing but R.E.M. And Dire Straits (first three) CD's, that would be OK with me. Is that rare band that has really gotten better with age. I kind of lost them for a while, then a couple of years ago heard The Great Beyond and was blown away.
On the early records, you could barely understand what Michael Stipe was singing - just try to listen to Sitting Still (off of Murmur) and decipher the lyrics. No freaking way. He's matured so much as a vocalist.But I do love the early stuff too.
The Chronic Town EP is a classic.Eva Cassidy (Wow, what a great voice. She never got much attention outside the D.C.Area, and died tragically from cancer at the age of 33. If you can get your hands on a copy of Songbird (you won't be disappointed. Her version of 'Fields of Gold' blows Sting's out of the water. Michelle Kwan picked up on it in 2002, and the irony was heavy at the exhibition skate following the Olympic competition that year, Michelle having been favored to win the gold. My favorite song on the album is Wayfaring Stranger.A much-covered classic, but Eva's version is simply amazing. Edit: Dang, I just noticed I made two posts in a row.
I guess somebody's gotta keep this thread going.:). Swtichfoot (- The Beautiful Letdown (- Dare You to Move (That was my first ever album I bought, at the urging of a friend.
I think it is pretty good, but since that album I always felt the Switchfoot jumped the shark and became what too many christian artists are: over processed. There is a limit to how much your can smooth out your studio albums, and christian music is equivalent to those ultra-airbrushed models.Nothing wrong with that album you linked though.:).
The old eMusic account just rolled over so I picked up two new albums; first is Jukebox Explosion by none other than the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and secondly an album called 100 Days, 100 Nights by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. The Jukebox Explosion album is a compilation of all JSBX's early vinyl only singles. Sometimes they'd pop up on Japanese import CDs but those were damned expensive.Highly recommended to anyone that liked the Blues Explosion up to and including Now I Got Worry. It's full of awesome noise, screeching feedback and gratuitous Blues Explosion! The Dap-Kings is old school Soul/R&B.
It's pretty cool but without horrid screeching feedback it'll play second fiddle to the mighty Blues Explosion. I've never heard of them before but apparently they've been kicking around for a while.Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings are fucking awesome. So awesome in fact that I used some more of my precious eMusic downloads on their album from 2005 called Naturally. It's just as insanely good as their new one. I'm just blown away. Every should get both albums and play them loudly. Fun Fact for Today: The Dap-Kings backed up Amy Winehouse on her American tour.(I know there has been extensive discussion on AN on whether or not she's scary but is she good?
Should I waste some bandwidth on her?). Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings are fucking awesome.

Fun Fact for Today: The Dap-Kings backed up Amy Winehouse on her American tour. (I know there has been extensive discussion on AN on whether or not she's scary but is she good?Should I waste some bandwidth on her?) That's quite a ringing endorsement. We should have a 'what do you use your eMusic downloads for' thread. I liked eMusic when I had it, but I found it stressful because there was so much unknown stuff out there.
Any Momus fans at AN? I love Momus. I don't know why but I do. Point being, I was going to get me some more Momus but it seems his entire catalogue during his tenure at Creation Records is out of print.It's not on eMusic or iTunes or Amazon or any other legitimate music site I could think of.
Shockingly, I couldn't even find it on any of the common BitTorrent trackers. I had to settle for his Slender Sherbert (album that had rerecorded versions of some of his best songs from the eighties (like I Was A Maoist Intellectual).
I guess I'm going to have to do this the old fashioned way and spend a weekend trolling Toronto's music shops looking for used copies. The internet has failed me. Here are a couple of Momus songs. Don't bother listening if you have little interest in kitschy, pretentious folk music.From my precious Monsters of Love compilation: Murderers, The Hope of Women (From Slender Sherbert: I Was A Maoist Intellectual. Currently listening to Zombie, by that late master of protest and Afrobeat, Fela Kuti (and Afrika 70).This 1976 album has just four tracks but plays for nearly an hour. The title track is a brave attack on the brainwashing methods of the contemporary Nigerian army.
Its derogatory lyrics (Zombie no go turn unless you tell am to turn/Zombie no go think unless you tell to think.) didn't exactly endear Fela to the authorities, and things got worse when protesters at anti-government riots began to copy Fela's sarcastic robotic dance moves. This led to the 1977 sacking of Fela's Kalakuta Republic, his being dragged out of the house by his genitals and severely beaten, and the murder of his 78-year-old mother.
The official enquiry into this brutal act concluded that 'an exasperated and unknown soldier' had attacked the commune, somewhat at odds with Fela's assertion that over 1,000 armed soldiers had raped and plundered their way through the place.Fela's response was typically fearless: he delivered his mother's coffin to the barracks in Lagos and wrote 'Unknown Soldier'. But Fela Kuti was no saint. He married twenty-seven women simultaneously in a wedding variously interpreted as a celebration of polygamy, a remembrance ceremony for the attack on Kalakuta, and a dodgy immigration scam. Regardless, anyone who can marry twenty-seven women at one time doesn't quite grok the whole equality of the sexes thing.He disliked gays ('sissies'), didn't believe AIDS was real (and ironically died of it), and generally had an egregiously screwed-up understanding of society. But he was an amazing musician, and this album is Afrobeat incarnate.
It comes in one unstoppable wave of funk after another, punctuated with massive cascading horn sections and repetitive lyrics that hypnotise and transcend the genre: if you are human, you cannot fail to take something away from this music.I think the driving rhythm taps into some kind of primal biological rhythm or something. Certainly the freshness and vitality of it all remind one of listening to music for the very first time. Sometimes I'll listen to my old Pussy Galore albums and think 'holy shit they sure knew how to make noise!' And I'll want new noise.More often than not I can't find any new noise worth listening to so I just keep listening to PG's Corpse Love on repeat because that was offensive noise at it's finest. But I just came across a band called Psychedelic Horseshit that make's a pretty good racket.
Sp for your listening pleasure, this is Psychedelic Horseshit's Portals (of their new album, Magic Flowers Droned. I know, it's an appalling name for a band and album but whatever, they rock the noise. And for reference, this is off Pussy Galore's 1986 classic Corpse Love - Don't Give a Fuck About You (Rock Action.:D. RADIOHEAD - In Rainbows I dunno.
I like this cd, but I have to force myself to listen to it with hopes of me starting to love it.I'd say it's prolly one of my least favorite Radiohead albums. It's good, but it doesnt have those songs that jump out and capture me like Idioteque, Street Spirit, Paranoid Android, There There, et cetera.
There are some songs that I do enjoy though like 15 Steps, Bodysnatchers, and Jigsaw, but I dunno how to explain it. It just doesn't have the same feel to it.
Hopefully my opinion changes in the near future. It's good, but it doesnt have those songs that jump out and capture me like Idioteque, Street Spirit, Paranoid Android, There There, et cetera.About how I feel, but as a whole the CD is solid. Nothing can beat Idioteque though. Such a good song.Currently I've been delving into the strange and mysterious lands of glitch electronic music; listening to some Aphex Twin (Their album Drukqs (is a very strange mix of soft, delicate piano/music box stuff and hardcore drum and bass. Not sure how I like it, but when no one is home I like to blast it and turn off my mind. You can see how he (AFX) influenced tons of people.
Thom Yorke especially liked his stuff when he was developing Kid A. Definitely not for everybody, but it is worth checking out. Monte Montgomery - Live at the Caravan of Dreams. (I just discovered this artist from a cover tune he had on Coverville ((Dire Straits' 'Romeo and Juliet'), and I've been hooked since.not necessarily for his songwriting ability or anything like that, but just for his sheer mastery of electic acoustic guitar.Check out some of his stuff on YouTube if you've never heard of him.I think you'll be impressed.:).

Believe me, you're not the only one who's musical taste I respect that's been trying to get me turned on to this, but I just can't do it. I don't know.there's just something missing that I can't put my finger on. It's truly driving me nuts.: I'm going to have to go back and post in your 2007 thread if it's not too late. There was some really interesting stuff in 2007, but not many blew me away. You already know my #1 (for the year.I still think it's absolute genius and tops everything else by leaps and bounds.That said, it's a new year, and I'm currently in love with Black Mountain's In The Future (It's sooooooo fucking good.
Like, unbelievably good. There was actually a point when listening to it I unintentionally threw up the horns.:o These guys were definitely raised milking off the same tits as I was growing up. Skynard, Floyd, Zeppelin and some Sabbath mixed in for good measure. Just phenomenal.:) edit: It's not the strongest track on the album imo, but here's Tyrants (courtesy of their label jagjaguwar.Listen to the whole thing in it's entirety, goddammit, as if I have to tell you lot that.;).

I eventually ended up really liking Jungle because of him just as I convinced him that Punk was in fact the greatest thing in the world.I didn't give El-P much of chance, partially because I was listening to too much Aesop Rock and partially because El-P's album scarred the shit out of me. Bad album to listen to while riding to work. I can't finish this post without mentioning the album I've listened to close to thirty times in the last week.Vampire Weekend's debut album is really worthy of all the positive hype. It's a deliriously amazing pop album.
All the review are right, they do sound like Paul Simon circa Graceland, they do sound like early Police (like Outlandos d'Amour early) and they do sound like they listened to their Indestructible Beat of Soweto compilation way too much while recording the album.
