Fun Stuff > BAND
Recent Purchases but better.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
Recently I acquired by birthday and my own pocket:
Gåte - Iselilja(gift from my little sister)
Norwegian folk songs getting attacked by anything from electronica to hard rock, I now have all their albums and their mini live cd. I like Gåte :)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A#(Infinity)
GY!BE is awesome and so is my little brother for getting me this!
Eels - Electro-Shock Blues
Despite by being a declared Eels fan, I have actually never listened to ESB with the exception of selected tracks like Cancer for the Cure.
I started in a sort of weird way with hearing Shootenanny!(which I love) first, then Souljacker and Blinking Lights. I am rather excited considering they say that it is their masterpiece :)
youthoftomorrow:
i just got Sonic Youth's new one, Rather Ripped. it's not bad, but not really what i was hoping for. it's plenty noisy, but almost half the record sounds like it could have been make by a quasi-shitty pop band borrowing SY's equipment. however, there are a few songs that are truly brilliant ("Pink Steam" being my favorite). many of us on the SY forum were a bit disappointed, but i bet that this'll get them a few new fans.
StrikeThePostman:
I was never into electronica/dance. Then I saw Barbara Morgenstern open for The Mountain Goats. She sings in German and is very adorable. I really like the CD I picked up after the show, "Nichts Muss." It's quite mesmerizing.
Also:
Tallahassee by The Mountain Goats and their Babylon Springs EP. The former is better than the latter. I still prefer the early stuff, but good production can work in their favor too. No Children is an excellent song. The EP is sadly missing Hollering John, and from what I've heard live, the next album, Get Lonely, will be lacking in that area as well.
Some other stuff that hasn't really soaked in yet:
Eels - Blinking Lights
Vetiver - To Find Me Gone
My Morning Jacket - Z
IntermittentEvil:
I recently purchased a set of records containing a recording of Shostakovich's opera "The Nose" by Rozhdestvensky. It was damn hard to find and I am very excited. I also bought a device to transfer all my records to CDs, so it's like I'm getting 30 or so new CDs in the next week or so. Doubly excited!
I also bought Lightning Bolt's "Wonderful Rainbow" recently, but was confused, as I had heard a lot of Ruins comparisons, which do not match. It's still a good noisy album with enough tunes to be enjoyable.
