Porcupine Tree - In Absentia and Deadwing... I'm impressed. I was told about these guys on another message board, but not told anything about their music so I had no idea what to expect. Good stuff!

Meshaggah - Catch Thirty-Three... This is the only CD I own by these guys, and I love it! I don't know how they normally do their CDs, but if their all similar to this then I need to get more by them. It's like one really, really long, really, really good song.

Latest Cd I purchased was White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan

Great CD, I hope this wins a grammy too

Of Montreal - The Sunlandic Twins
Of Montreal - Satanic Panic in the Attic
They Might Be Giants - Indestructible Object ep
Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me? single

Kanye West - Late Registration... I haven't had a proper chance to listen to it yet, but what I have heard has been impressive. I should have a chance tonight, and if so I'll come back and edit.

Cold - A Different Kind Of Pain... Dark, dreary, and sad. Just what I've come to expect from these guys. Nothing groundbreaking, but a pretty good CD overall.

Last Purchase : Michelle Branch - Hotel Paper

I put in an order this morning for:

Pelican - Untitled
Pelican - Australasia
Pelican - The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw

i recently picked up:
The newest: Drive By Truckers, White Stripes and Black Keys albums. I really dig the Drive By Truckers, they have a little bit of snarl to them, and they tell a good story.

an AC/DC tribute album called Back in Bluegrass. All AC/DC hits done as instrumentals with Bluegrass instruments. and this thing friggin rocks!!!!


On May 31st, CMH Records will be releasing Back In Bluegrass: The Bluegrass Tribute to AC/DC, reports BW&BK. According to the label, the gutsy lock-step stomp of AC/DC’s music fits wonderfully into the bluegrass two-step and there’s plenty of pickin’ goin’ on to keep even the pickiest quitar aficianado grinnin’ from ear to ear. Slap it on and hit the highway to hellbilly heaven.



Back In Bluegrass will contain the following 12 songs: "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "Hells Bells", "Highway To Hell", "You Shook Me All Night Long", "Stiff Upper Lip", "For Those About To Rock We Salute You", "Big Gun", "Shoot To Thrill", "Money Talks", "Thunderstruck", "Back In Black"

Still can;t find the new Cold(A Different Kind Of Pain) CD in stores, and then on Oct/25th Sevendust - Next:D

Herbie Hancock - Possibilities

Fantastic CD

Cold - A Different Kind Of Pain
NIN - with_teeth

Failure - Fantastic Planet
Nickel Creek - Why Should the Fire Die?
The Ditty Bops - The Ditty Bops

Nice to see another Failure fan around...that band changed my life back in the day. Ever check out Ken Andrews' newer projects, like On and Year of the Rabbit?

Oh yes, and I just picked up: Alice Russell's 'My Favourite Letters' on Tru Thoughts, John Arnold's 'Style and Pattern' on Ubiquity (gonna spin that one this Friday at my residency!), and Hajime Yoshizawa's 'Music From the Edge of the Universe'...great cosmic broken beats and soulful tunes...

Haven't yet, no. This was the first Failure CD I've obtained, in fact. Magnified's next...I've heard mostly bad things about their first CD, though, would you recommend it?

Well, Comfort is good if you are into a very muffled, low-fi sound! :rolleyes:
Steve Albini was responsible for the botched production on that album (and I say botched because I've heard 1st year recording students get better results...Albini had no excuse). The songs are still pretty good, especially Macaque and Screen Man. I'd get it last, and also pick up the CD/DVD combo 'Golden', which is basically a b-sides/demos/history compilation. Good stuff, though.
Magnified is definitely the next album to get...it's right up there with FanPlan in terms of quality, just a little less "spacey" and more melancholy. My fave songs on there are Empty Friend, Frogs, and Bernie. Oh, try listening to Bernie while in the car at twilight in the summertime, with the windows rolled down...hard to describe the feeling I get when I do this. I associate certain songs with certain times of the year...like Suzanne Vega's 'In Liverpool' with a cold winter night.
Also, if you like Magnified, check out both Year of The Rabbit's album and Ken's solo stuff, under the name of On. YOTR is a bit more like Failure, although not as sophisticated, and On is a bit like Failure with lots of synths.
You might want to check out the Replicants CD, a new wave covers side project of Tool, Medicine, and Failure alums, as well as Lusk's album "Free Mars. You might also like music by the group Blinker the Star. All can probably be had for cheap on half.com or Amazon.

I bought a CD from a street musician in Seattle named "three stars" who plays guitar and sings classic country songs. Its really stripped down, but well done for a home recording

I just got "Classic" by the Living Legends in the mail.

Yes, thank you! I've been following them for awhile now (find my thread on them somewhere in here on them. Ditty Bops, Eisley, Hayden Triplets). edit---> http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...ght=ditty+bops

Anyway, are they getting any airtime on the radio lately?

*****

1 = sucks
5 = completely average
10 = will never take out of player
(that 6 you see means its just better than the average pop album)

The Like - Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking (8 of 10)
Ephemera - Score (in mail)
Imogen Heap - Speak For Yourself (release next month, preordered, 1/2 of Frou Frou)
Muse - Origin of Symmetry (Finally the North American release, in mail)
Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger (7 of 10)
Esthero - Wikked Lil Grrls (7 of 10)
Kronos Quartet w/ Asha Bosle - You've Stolen My Heart: Songs from R.D. Burman's Bollywood (8 of 10; The worlds most recorded voice)
Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten (6 of 10)
New Pornographers - Twin Cinema (7 of 10; not as good as Mass Romantic, needs more Neko)
Conjure One - Extraordinary Ways (7 of 10; not as good as his first one)

If they have been, I wouldn't know. Radio's the opposite of diverse 'round these parts.

I saw them open at a Tori Amos concert, that's where I first heard their music. Also was going to see them open at a Nickel Creek concert, but my sense of direction screwed up those plans. But I ended up getting the CD at that concert.

Good stuff, though I wish it were half as lively as their live performance was.

Yeah, nearly all the Ditty Bops shows out in Hollywood are themed shows, so they are rarely ever the same. I'm sort of interested in what had to be toned down/cut for a touring production.

I just bought a spindle of blanks, and have started to record my vinyl albums over onto them. Last night I created the following CDs:

Focus - Dutch Masters
George Benson - Breezin'
ELO - A New World Record
The Clash - Sandinista

All with their original cover art.

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm Remixed
