[PopTodd]

 

Material Issue - Eleven Supersonic Hit Explosions

 

But this is my jam:

[Shakespeare In The Alley]

I say this frequently, but this is the best rock band out there.

 

Oh, and PopTodd, I finally acquired a copy of this:

I'm not a huge fan of female singers, but I'm liking this so far.

I really like Sleigh Bells' Treats. If you're wondering what it sounds like, then think of what would happen if Justice and The Go! Team got into a T-Bone and the sound of the crash is the music that you would hear on Treats.

 

Tame Impala's Innerspeaker sounds like a pretty good psychedelic album. There's nothing groundbreaking, but there's nothing wrong. Some of the solos on the album are magnificent.

 

I would definitely recommend both of those albums.

[cgoodwin22]

thanks-i'll check them out!

 

now playing:

[Vacant Horizon]

 

that is a cool cover.

[auctioneer69]

On heavy rotation:

 

LCD Soundsystem - "This Is Happening"

Gorillaz "Plastic Beach"

Steve Mason (ex-Beta Band) - "Boys Outside"

Aretha Franklin - "Rare and Unreleased"

Gil Scot Heron "I'm A Stranger Here Myself"

Broken Bells - "Eponymous"

Brian Wilson ' Smile"

Phoenix "Live From Sydney"

Wilco "Live From Boston 4/10 Bootleg"

 

2010 is in my humble opinion on track to be a far better year than 2009 already. Looking forward to the US release of Paul Weller's "Wake Up The Nation" in 2 weeks time.

[Artifice]

My unhealthy obsession with Soft Pack's Answer to Yourself enters week #3.

 

I finally put Girls' Album in last weekend to break the monotony, but that song just suits my mood so well lately. I'm right back to it this week.

Café Tacuba - Un Viaje

as good as it is, she could have cut 3-4 songs and it'd have been even better, but oh well
