The M/F Thread 2009: The Quickening
Orcusmars:
This is Mainliner.
Mainliner is a Psychadelic band from Japan, formed in the latter 1990's. They sound a lot like Boris' "Pink" and "Smile" albums, minus about 10 centigrades of coherency.
If you don't download these, I don't think we can be friends.

--- Quote ---"Wibbling Rivalry" is the title of a single released under the name "Oas*s" by the Fierce Panda record label in 1995.
It is a recording of John Harris (working for NME at the time) interviewing Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher of Oasis. The musicians live up to their reputation as feuding siblings by getting sidetracked into curse-laden arguments while responding to questions. The single contains a 'Liam Track' featuring predominantly Liam's use of profanities and a 'Noel Track' featuring Noel. Throughout the interview, Noel and Liam argue over an incident that happened on a ferry before a show.
"Wibbling Rivalry" holds the record as the highest charting interview release in the UK, reaching number 52 on November 25, 1995.

I picked this up right after "Morning Glory" and it cemented my love for the Gallaghers and all things Oasis. It's combined into one track here.
Best part that couldn't have been scripted any better, the last line of the interview:
Q: Do you have any recurring dreams?
Noel: Yeah. Just the one -
Liam: I take over the band.
Jackie Blue:
oh my god.
JAYDIOHEAD,
also, i am very interested in that Her Space Holiday vs. Conor Oberst deal. i found a used copy of HSH's absolutely amazing The Young Machines for a DOLLAR a few weeks ago, i'll post it after work probably. it's ridiculously out of print, which is sad and weird since it's only 4 years old.

I'm amazed this hasn't been upped already, and it seems to have gained a lot of underground/internet popularity (that's how I first heard of it anyway), but needless to say, those who don't already have it should absolutely download immediately:
Circle Takes the Square - "As the Roots Undo" (2004)

Yes, the first and foremost of the genres one might use to describe CTTS would be screamo, but they're far from the angst-ridden, asymmetrically-fringed bollocks which passes for it most of the time. As the Roots Undo is an epic, bleak, violent, atmospheric album, gripping from start to finish. It's also got a pretty indepth concept behind it, explained in the liner notes:
--- Quote ---In a nutshell the concept behind the songs was to document the different points on a path to self-realization. In our interpretation of this journey, the wanderer ends up essentially in the same place that he or she began, if not humbled and even more overwhelmed. In a sense the ending is somewhat tragic, but without experiencing all of the lows how can anyone ever appreciate the amazing subtleties that this world has to offer? And so, if the search for beauty and understanding is cyclical and unending, then at least we'll never stop experiencing the thrill of the hunt...
--- End quote ---
Having said that, the album is amazing regardless of whether or not you try and follow the concept. And if you like it, it's definitely worth picking up the CD, as the packaging is intricate and pretty kickass.
GMM:
HUGE thanks for the Johan Johansson, I'd previously heard and adored the title track of Fordlandia and that stuff is just amazing.
