I got No New York on vinyl for my birthday from a friend and i've been listening to it non-stop since. Also some Fake Can Be Just As Good from Blonde Redhead.

Been listening to a lot of Boards of Canada recently...

When it came out, it totally blew my mind. When someone like this has been writing amazing poetry for 30 years, you don't expect something this strong so late into their career, but this maybe his best album ever.

I've been listening to this a lot lately:

i would argue that this distinction goes to the future which if you think about it is also very late in his career. i didn't like 10 new songs at all when it first came out but after hearing it performed live and reading your praises i'm going to revisit it. from what i understand his partner - her name escapes me - wrote a good deal of the album.

sharon robinson. yes, the future is definitely up there. it's a very different record, of course - still feisty.

Axolotl - Memory Theatre
The Go-Betweens
Hot Snakes - Peel Sessions
Brian Glaze - "don't believe in love"

Really? One of my favorite vocalists outside of Ian Curtis. Listen to "Trails of Colour Dissolve" or "My face is on fire" - maybe one of the most solid 7"s ever put out.


Anyways - I gots a request for you kids - I'm after the Borg I:A ep on phaserprone.
Help a boy out.

^always found that guy's voice seriously disturbing

[El chico León]

Benjamin Biolay-La Garçonnière

Altlas sound-walkabout (w/panda bear)

Beware, Bonnie Prince Billys new record.

dead weather horehound

first new album i've checked out in forever...

I was pretty dissapointed with it to be honest. I've liked parts of what Stripes and Raconteurs have done (latter is really hit or miss imo) plus I like The Kills even though I think they are quite repetitive, maybe its because I sort of have a thing for Allison Mosshart.. but, for some reason the Dead Weather album sounded really dull to me.

There are few okay tracks there, not a great album, but not bad either. Could do with some more variation.

It definitely is slightly lacking in the substance department, like all three of the kills albums. But then again The kills have always been style over substance...

slightly related: I like mosshart's trashed DH boots...
