Man, it's been years, I think, since I've posted on here. I just uploaded an album for a friend and thought y'all might enjoy it.

This is hands down my favorite new album I've heard in years. They describe themselves as punkgrass, but they're much heavier on the bluegrass than the punk. I met these guys busking on the street one night this summer and they ended up staying with me for a few days. I've been listening to them pretty much every day since. Super catchy, hard-hitting, and EXCELLENT for drunken sing-alongs. For fuck's sake, they have a washboard! YOU NEED THIS.
Stand-out tracks: Forgot My Name and Faith No More
Also, these guys could always use some more support, so if you like it you should definitely buy it from them / put them up on your couch.

The Avalanches - Since I Left You (2000, original print*)

in celebration of the first update to their website in years (not that that means anything) here's The Avalanches' seminal dance/"plunderphonics" record. enough has been said about this band but if you don't have this record or haven't heard the original version, enjoy.
*and by original version I mean the first run Australian edition. Later copies including the version released stateside involved several notable changes and cuts due to problems getting the samples cleared overseas (or so I am led to believe; all I know for sure is the singles played on the radio don't sound like the ones on this copy). The original print is vastly superior.

This is awesome, and I can definitely hear the differences in samples that you talked about.
Unfortunately 'Etoh' starts skipping a ton for about 40 seconds near the end :-(

Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics... [1997]
--- Quote from: Allmusic ---Upon its release, Electric Wizard's excellent debut carved a Titanic-sized swath through the heavy metal landscape, burying much that had come before under an avalanche of amp distortion, detuned riffs, and billows of marijuana smoke. And yet, impossible as it may seem, the band's absolutely colossal second effort, Come My Fanatics..., while somewhat less immediate than its predecessor, somehow upped the sonic ante through a wall of sludge so thick that even the most experienced of metal heads couldn't help but be overwhelmed by its power. Opening number "Return Trip" is quite simply a heavy metal landmark, from its sudden, feedback-induced (and bowel-releasing) opening chord to the anguished screams of main man Jus Oborn through to its final coughing denouement ten minutes later. The barely discernible lyrics to second track "Wizard in Black" (another monster at eight minutes) gradually emerge from the trio's cyclopean grind, intoning "I am a God...I am the One" -- and by gum if by now you're not ready to believe just that! Ensuing acid-metal behemoths like "Doom-Mantia" and "Son of Nothing" (the album's shortest track at almost seven minutes) will test the patience of uninitiated listeners before drifting into focus through billowing clouds of smoke, but the ultimate religious experience is well worth the lengthy conversion process. And though less memorable, instrumentals like "Ivixor B/Phase Inducer," (a full-fledged space rock feedback freak-out) and closer "Solarian 13" slot right into the album's imposing mass. Essential doom.

Seriously, that album is amazing. Everyone should give it a shot.
