What's your favorite Primus CD? Ready? Go!!
I ask because I've recently been listening to Sailing the Seas of Cheese and Pork Soda a lot. I'd forgotten how incredibly talented Claypool was, er, is. I'm thinking of picking up some more of their stuff.

My Top 100 Horror Movies OF ALL TIME.
Really dug Album. Acute pop sensibilities mixed with moments of haunting power. Loved the mix too. 'God Damned' works as well as it does because it sounds like he's playing in another room, while Summertime is lush and beautiful and moving, almost operatic. I love albums that are all over the place, but of course this leads to experimentations that don't work out as well as others. Probably the best album I've heard since 3, though. I'll probably check them out when they hit my city.Quoting Derek (view post)

Rowland S. Howard - "Pop Crime"
New album (Pop Crimes is kickass. A must for any Nick Cave fan (RSH is ex-Bad Seeds), as well as his prior effort (Teenage Snuff Film).
Just got the new Julian Casablancas, will be listening to that one for a while. And also listening to the new Tegan and Sara, somehow a group I never really cared about(except "Back in Your Head", that was a great song) has crafted one of the more surprising albums of the year.
I'm addicted to David Bowie - Sound and Vision at the moment. I play it way too much.
Though I quite like that particular track, I always felt Low was a smidge overrated. Out of his 70s output, I prefer Ziggy/Hunky Dory/...possibly Aladdin Sane (not 100% certain).Quoting Saya (view post)
Sound and Vision is fun
I've burned through The Go-Betweens 16 Lovers Lane a few times recently and, man, what a wonderful album that is
Today?
Koji Kondo - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Ting Tings - We Started Nothing
The Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks...
Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions...
Tom Waits - I Don't Wanna Grow Up
OOIOO - "Uda Hah"
A Boredoms side-project, so if you dig the psychedelic punk tribalism, this is very much worth checking out. Better than their previous album, but apparently they've been around for a while, so I'll have to track down some of their earlier stuff now.
Great song, but it's one of a handful I can't enjoy like I used to because of how much I associate it with an ex-ladyfriend. Same deal with Bizarre Love Triangle
There is this lyrics in Ben Folds's "The Bitch Went Nuts" (off Way To Normal) that he delivers with a laugh. It is simply "holy fucking shit" and it's pretty much transcendent.
I've been listening to that album, Andrew WK's I Get Wet, and Suzanne Vega's 1996 Nine Objects of Desire the last few days.
Love this album, especially the song with Regina Spektor (You Don't Know Me).Quoting Sycophant (view post)
I'm really enjoying it. I'm pretty sure it's his best solo album, which would make it his best album in almost a decade. "You Don't Know Me" is really incredible. "Hiroshima" is pretty addictive, too. There's seemingly more passion and invention in each song on this record than the entirety of Songs for Silverman, which I never really cared for.Quoting Kurosawa Fan (view post)
Two of the best. I am sorry for your lost.Quoting Adam (view post)
I had Boxer by The National on before when I was studying for finals
Seems like that album fits this time of year, for whatever reason
Don't Come Around Here No More-Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. This video is um....wow. Weird as hell? Cool? Yep and yep. Oh and the song is good, too.
