Picked up today:
VHS Or Beta: Night On Fire
Go Post-Eighties Revialism! Haven't listened to it yet, but I loved 'You Got Me' so I'm hopeful.
Recently:
Morrissey - Live At Earls Court
Because it has basically the same set list as when he was at Reading last year at that was *the* best act of the weekend, and totally life-changing...
M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us
Bought on strength of 'Don't Save Us From The Flames', and the rest of the album is...good, but not *as* good, but it might require a few more listens
Lux Courageous - Reasons That Keep The Ground Near
Everyone should own a copy of this - it's the most coherent, complete album I've heard all year and a a brilliant example of what happens if bands are prepared to experiment and mix up what they do a bit rather than be constrained to the obvious/friendly stuff...

El Opium:
Thanks, Mattkills. Eclipse records is awesome. Should get Raag Manifesto by Mr.Rose before it disappears. Anyway, I got these in the Mail last week.
Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice-Sunset Sleeves LP
That band with John Olson from Wolf Eyes wife in. This stuff is alright though nothing super-revealatory in my opinion. It tends to sound like the band are trying to sound more mysterious than they actually are. A couple of the tracks are just murky kitchen-sinky improvs that don't seem to go too far. The vocal trade offs on Serpent Skin are sublime though and the track 'more void' is seductively spooky. For the most part though the record is very quiet with a mild sense of smoky unease.
Avarus-(hard to remember title in Finnish) 2CD
This comp is a mess due to its nature but a pretty interesting one. In a way I find them trying to do what Wooden Wand wanted to but coming off as a lot more succesful and with less pretension. You can tell from the music and the packaging this is just some geeky Finnish kids getting their weird on. My fave track is the last one A-V-P which is a total Motorik drone fest something which I am rather a sucker for.
Comets on Fire with Burning Star Core-Collab LP
I've not played this yet as I just don't trust my cheap Sony turntable even if it does have a new needle. I actually bought this for the BxC as I liked his Brighter Summer Day LP.
ASturge:
Stars- Set yourself on fire.
rocks my penis off
mattkills:
wwvv is pretty good live. one of the dudes is in a very fun band called "meneguar" if you haven't heard them. very jawbreaker but also doing their own thing so it's great.

the most secret method / the dusters split 10"
silver jews "american water" lp
the raincoats "looking in the shadows" lp
good scores for $10.
