Pelican - City of Echoes

Yeah, so the album isn't quite as good as their last one, but this track is still excellent.

[DSNT]

Undertow, Lush

[Boner M]

Sonic Youth - "Brave Men Run"

Bad Moon Rising is their 2nd best album behind Sister. FACT.

[Horbgorbler]

Miles Davis - Prelude

Damn. Agharta is my new favorite of his, hands down.

Miles Davis - Prelude

Damn. Agharta is my new favorite of his, hands down.
I prefer Jack Johnson, but Agharta is a close second. Rep!

Negative Approach - "Nothing"

Can - "Return To BB City"

Ambient Can? I'm down.

[transmogrifier]

Can, lots and lots of Can.

Clipse/Re-Up Gang - "Show You How To Hustle"

Vol. 3 slays.

The Crystal Ship, The Doors

Crime - "Hot Wire My Heart"

Despite a valiant attempt, SY could never equal the sloppy grandeur of the original.

The Velvet Underground, lots and lots of The Velvet Underground

[Rowland]

Akira Yamaoka - Silent Hill Origins OST

[origami_mustache]

Lemon Jelly - "Elements"

[dreamdead]

Beirut - "In the Mausoleum"

Short album, this one (The Flying Club Cup), but quite lovely.

[krazed]

Finally got to it KF. Hope it rocks.

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - "Water and a Seat"

[origami_mustache]

Beirut - "In the Mausoleum"

Short album, this one (The Flying Club Cup), but quite lovely.

It's hard for me to stop listening to Beirut.

Milosh - "You Make Me Feel"

[Kurosawa Fan]

Finally got to it KF. Hope it rocks.

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - "Water and a Seat"

Awesome. Highlights of said album for me: Water and a Seat, (Do Not Feed the) Oyster, Vanessa From Queens, Animal Midnight, Witch Mountain Bridge, 1% of One.

Let me know what you think when you finish.

[Kurosawa Fan]

It's hard for me to stop listening to Beirut.


I couldn't agree more. I think Gulag Orkestar is their best album, but all three (if you include the EP) are wonderful. I listened to them for about 3 weeks straight almost without interrupting for something else. They just consumed me. "Canals of Our City" is so beautiful.

[MadMan]

Jigsaw Falling Into Place-Radiohead. Really awesome stuff-I love the lyric "Words are sawed off shotguns" and the guitar/drum work in the background as well.

[Horbgorbler]

the Kinks - the Village Green Preservation Society

All of the critical/hipster hoopla made me forget that this album's highpoints are sublime.

[Acapelli]

Ballboy - Avant Garde Music

[Duncan]

I'm listening through M.I.A.'s Kala straight through. I've done this before and never liked it. Now I'm absolutely loving it. Weird how that works.

[transmogrifier]

Sympathy for the Strawberry, Sonic Youth

The best Youth song ever? For the next nine minutes, most definitely. Take that, Kim haters!

[dreamdead]

Oasis - "Wonderwall"

Autechre - "Leterel"

Amazing album so far.

[Derek]

The Verve - "A Man Called Sun"

Finally getting around to their EP's after Davis's repeated pimping, especially b/c he's one of the only people I've run into who also prefers A Storm in Heaven to their other full length's. Not surprised to find out this one's pretty great.

[Ivan Drago]

Glosoli - Sigur Ros

:eek:

[Boner M]

Cromagnon - "Caledonia"

1968. :eek:

[krazed]

Awesome. Highlights of said album for me: Water and a Seat, (Do Not Feed the) Oyster, Vanessa From Queens, Animal Midnight, Witch Mountain Bridge, 1% of One.

Let me know what you think when you finish.

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - "Witch Mountain Bridge"

This is a really cool album, it's a lot more focused than Real Emotional Trash; I like his stuff with the Jicks, it's spaced out and jammy without being annoying. I imagine this is what the last two Pavement albums (Terror Twilight, in particular) would sound like if Malkmus had complete control over the projects. He's coming to Dallas in April and I'll be there. Thanks for the recc!

[Kurosawa Fan]

No problem. Getting more people to listen to that album is a task I quite enjoy.

[Horbgorbler]

Cromagnon - "Caledonia"

Damn straight. So incredibly insane (and vice versa.)

Windham Hell - Laceration of the Soul

[D_Davis]

Finally getting around to their EP's after Davis's repeated pimping, especially b/c he's one of the only people I've run into who also prefers A Storm in Heaven to their other full length's. Not surprised to find out this one's pretty great.

A Storm in Heaven is fantastic, lightyears ahead of their subsequent releases. Even in terms of production it dwarfs their other releases. It is such a dense album, full of amazing instrumentation, and everything is nestled perfectly within the stereofield. It's one the best produced albums I've ever heard. And the songs kick major ass too - no freaking cheesy ballads.

The suffered the same curse as a lot of bands that "mature": sonically, they became less interesting.

A Man Called Sun is an awesome song. So is Gravity Grave.

[D_Davis]

Oasis - "Wonderwall"

http://forums.hipinion.com/images/smiles/icon_gu_b_slayer.gif

They released an Oasis pack for Rock Band a while back. very cool. Although, I wish it had Supersonic.

[Acapelli]

Archers of Loaf - Harnessed in Slums

How come I never hear them mentioned among other 90s indie rock staples?

[Russ]

Sweet. I'll have to get this...

Ah, I see that it is not actually out yet? Or at least iTunes doesn't have it yet. I'll definitely pick it up when they do, I love the whole cLOUDDEAD collective.

Archers of Loaf - Harnessed in Slums

They were always under the radar.

I saw them live a few times back in the day, and I always enjoyed them. I haven't listened to them in a long time, maybe I should!

[origami_mustache]

The Octopus Project – "Exploding Snowhorse"

[bac0n]

George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today.

My lord, what a sad song.

[Derek]

Vampire Weekend - "M79"

Wasn't feeling this album much through three tracks, but after this and "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa", I'm starting to reconsider.

Also listened to the new Atlas Sound (Bradford Cox of Deerhunter) album and it delivers. It basically sounds like Cryptograms B-sides, so approach accordingly.

[Boner M]

No Age - "My Life's Alright Without You"

Interesting. Subsequent listens will determine if it's great.

[Kurious Jorge v3.1]

Olivia Tremor Control - "I've Been Floated"

yep, it was the same sort of concept where they only use the original vintage 45"s...they basically went through every era and genre...indian music, south american stuff, soul, jazz, folk, metal, hip hop, even heard some flaming lips, foo fighters, aliyah, and all kinds of other crazy stuff.

[Derek]

The Beatles - "Hey Bulldog"

[MadMan]

Jigsaw Falling Into Place-Radiohead. I love everything about this song. And the vidoe is awesome as well. Despite covering over albums for my review thread In Rainbows and The Chronic by Dr. Dre are the two albums I've listened to the most over the past month.

[Acapelli]

The Magnetic Fields - Too Drunk To Dream

[MadMan]

Of the Girl-Pearl Jam. I like the combining of rock instruments with Indian instruments. The sound is really strange and reminds me of how Led Zeppelin did the same thing with Kashmir.

Marissa Nadler -- "Bird on Your Grave"

Very understated, but quite delectable of an album.

King Sunny Adé - Samba/E Falaba Lewe

Long Road To Ruin-Foo Fighters. Not only is this song really awesome but the video is a hilarious and emotional commentary on fame and the emptiness often behind it.

Red Hot Chili Peppers I actually defend as being a damn good band. While I like the Foo Fighters I think they're a good band at best, and decent at the very worst. I enjoy their music a lot though and I own The Colour and the Shape.

The ringing in my ears following the ridiculously loud, outrageously awesome Liars set I heard tonight. Quite possibly the best live set I've seen - nothing but great songs, Angus was absurd and off his rocker (donning a purplish pink suit and looking like an odd mix of Nick Cave and David Byrne) and, my god, the drumming.

Yes!

Finally, someone else listened to this.

This is an amazing, absolutely incredible piece of music. Totally devastating.

Definitely. It's really remarkable and I love the subtle transitions, especially throughout the second half. As devastating as it is though, it's strangely uplifting and cathartic so it never becomes depressing. It somehow captures the feelings of accepting an inevitable death with dignity that the musicians on the Titanic must have been going through at the time. I know you mentioned Bryars here before so when I saw a positive review of his new (I believe live) version of this, I decided to check out the original version and Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet. Thanks so much for bringing him to my attention!

What do you think of this?

What do you think of this?

I haven't heard it yet. I just heard Titanic today, so I'm not quite ready to jump right into that one. I will post some thoughts here once I do, hopefully this week. What do you think of it?

I want to though.

Love this song. I downloaded it the second the credits rolled the first time I saw Lost Highway. It's been on every MP3 disc I've made since.

Love this song. I downloaded it the second the credits rolled the first time I saw Lost Highway. It's been on every MP3 disc I've made since.

All three of their albums are pretty awesome.

A little melodramatic, and gothy, but still pretty awesome.

[transmogrifier]

Love this song. I downloaded it the second the credits rolled the first time I saw Lost Highway. It's been on every MP3 disc I've made since.

Yeah, I got hold Pitchfork's Top 100 Albums of the 70s (the ones I didn't already have), and I'm listening to Buckley's Starsailor, and then Song to the Siren comes on, and I'm all like...I know that song. Took me ten minutes to figure where from.

The Paradox Song, of course.

Bryn, Vampire Weekend

Got this album by accident, but I'm very pleased with it.

I love about half the tracks on that album. The other half... not so much. I've only given it one spin, so maybe it'll improve on a second listen, but I was a tad disappointed. Still, it's worth the purchase for that half an album.

That was close to my first take of the album, but the whole thing is a grower. I expect you'll like it a lot more after a couple more listens.

I should do that.

Animal Collective - Visiting Friends

This track had never "clicked" with me until about a week ago. I always felt that this was the album's weak point, but love it now. Definitely cements Sung Tongs as my favorite AC album.

[Boner M]

J Dilla - "Workinonit"

This is actually the first time I've listened to Donuts. Instantly enjoyable so far, tho.

Gotta thank old Horby for this one. Dark, dark krautrock that maintains its intensity throughout.

[Boner M]

Lee "Scratch" Perry - Croaking Lizard

[Derek]

Headlights - "So Much for the Afternoon"

Essentially everything I was looking for in last years Stars and Rilo Kiley releases and didn't get. Good old-fashioned, finely crafted sugary pop music!

Dirty Three - Turk

This is a good thread to post in when I feel like posting something but can't think of anything to post.

Busdriver and Radioactive with Daedelus - "Name Forgetter"
