^lol, looks like you missed it too.

I have not bought an album recently, but I HAVE ordered 'Radio Ixtlan' by Ewigkeit.

Which is a very, very awesome album.

Got a package from RRRecords today:
Skullflower-Obsidian shaking Codex-CD-r
This is truly wonderful, a masterpiece of heavy drone. Despite employing very long song lengths (5 tracks in 73 minutes) the band manage to keep it together perfectly including varience in their playing but sticking to a sonic theme in each piece. I especially like the 3rd and 4th tracks crashing silver ghost phallus and Diamond bullets.

Yellow Swans-Dusk CS
Just a little live cassette with four tracks on it. I like the last track 'Swan Luv' the most. The tape is painted bright yellow and has the tracks printed on it. For some reason the music invokes old films of car factory robots in the 80s.

Yellow Swans-Dosed CS
Fairly similar to the above. More live stuff though it's not quite as interesting.

Burning Star Core-Recycled Music CS
Sounds like some kind of outtake from 'A Brightre Summer Day'. Very clattery with odd bits of computer noise and distorted violin thrown in. The recycled cassette in question used to have James Brown on it, though the tape itself is just a standard recorable and not a re-dubbed commercial tape.

Karnivool - Themata (aus band)
The Postal Service - Give Up
Incubus - A Crow Left Of The Murder
Interpol - Antics

I definately agree with what Jeff said about Ben Gibbard on the QC Recommended Listening... can't really expand on what he said cause it was just too.. right?.. yeah thatll work

yipjumpmusic · « **Reply #362 on:** 18 May 2005, 04:08 »

Got Super System's new CD which was a huge disappointment...it's like they betrayed me...

but also got Scout Niblett's new cd which touches me deep down inside...where I am soft...like a woman.

muffy · « **Reply #363 on:** 18 May 2005, 05:26 »

I'm waiting on the new Ryan Adams album, which may be good or may be shite - he annoys the hell out of me, but every now and then pulls something out of the bag which makes you forget all the rubbish he's done.

MilkmanDan · « **Reply #364 on:** 18 May 2005, 10:34 »

Dosh - Pure Trash
Anticon suprise again. Real nice Four Tet / Prefuse 73 & The books style electronica. (folktronica, apparently. I swear genres get sillier all the time.) Not a rapper in sight. + vinyl for the win.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #365 on:** 21 May 2005, 06:04 »

Ewigkeit - Radio Ixtlan

I cannot really sum up quite how absolutely motherfuckingly awesome this album is, both musically and conceptually. It's at the level of philosophical pretention where it has an essay on it's meaning in the back and a recommended reading list (Including a book by David Icke) to try and help you understand it a bit more.

Musically, no-one else in the world is doing shit like this. At all. There is death metal somewhere in there, there is ambient trance, there is folk, there are black metal and thrash, there is space rock and prog, there is breakcore, there are brief surges of cybergrind, there are nature noises, there are acoustic passages, hearbeats, at least four vocalists...

It is, in short, one of the best albums ever.

spizzletrunk · « **Reply #366 on:** 21 May 2005, 08:31 »

I don't buy music that often. Last album I bought was I think We Are Being Observed by Giant Haystacks, which I like enough. The last album I downloaded (because I couldn't find it anywhere besides eBay) was Candy Apple Grey by Husker Du. Which fucking OWNS.

a pack of wolves · « **Reply #367 on:** 21 May 2005, 10:13 »

Giant Haystacks are alright, but Wreck of Old '98 and Solanki did the whole Minutemen-woship thing so much better.

sp2 · « **Reply #368 on:** 21 May 2005, 10:36 »

I recently picked up the following albums:

The Black Keys - Thickfreakness

This is a pretty decent album if you like really raw blues rock. The Black Keys rock hard, and their music is all pretty catchy...and yeah, retro, but OLD SCHOOL retro. Not as tight as Rubber Factory, but still a good album.

Blonde Redhead - Fake Can Be Just As Good

Discord alt-rock. I enjoy the album, most of my friends don't.

Tin Tin - Self-titled

These guys are a local prog-folk act in the boulder-denver area. They're decent, and I picked up the album for next to nothing, so whatever.

Today my goal is to go pick up a copy of Arcade Fire - Funeral. I am going to force myself to like this album, kinda like I had to force myself to like oral sex (giving, not receiving).

DYS - Wolf Pack
Old, old school straight edge. And awesome.

I also grabbed a Reagan SS 7" and their split with John Brown's Army, all for £10. Not a bad haul.

I don't know, I never considered it a Minutemen-worship thing. Just because, well, I don't listen to the Minutemen much anyway. I buy anything that looks halfway interesting.

Johnny C · « **Reply #372 on:** 21 May 2005, 18:29 »

I went to the record store with the express purpose of buying Silent Alarm, but I managed to walk out with The Bravery's self-titled instead. It's pretty solid, anyhow. Enjoyable album.

Conatonc · « **Reply #373 on:** 21 May 2005, 22:31 »

System of a Down- Mezmerize.

Most ear-grabbing album of the year so far. It's awesome.

fox infrared · « **Reply #374 on:** 22 May 2005, 03:04 »

settlefish's the plural of the choir... I hope its better quality than deep elms mywire version. but yeah I think they make that player sound crappy so you dont steal or whatever. from what I've heard, its pretty catchy. original too, which is a hard mix to pull off

Jeridus · « **Reply #375 on:** 22 May 2005, 18:08 »

Coheed and Cambria - Second Stage Turbine Blade

I've actually had all of the songs on this for some time, it's just so awesome that I decided to buy the album and support the artists... Coheed is awesome!

Devastator · « **Reply #376 on:** 23 May 2005, 21:14 »

Kaki King - Legs to Make Us Longer.
and
Alkaline Trio - Crimson

Both way enjoyable, although I've hardly listened to the first as the second has all but dominated my stereo.

Amsterdarn · « **Reply #377 on:** 23 May 2005, 22:18 »

Well, this was a download rather than a buy, but I'm hell of excited about it, so I'm putting it here anyway:

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois

For serious, get this when it comes out. It's a bit cheerier than Michigan, but just as good. And the track names are ridiculous.

MilkmanDan · « **Reply #378 on:** 24 May 2005, 01:32 »

65daysofstatic - unreleased/unreleasable vol 1.
Their whole discography for teh win!
I think I have everything anyway. U/U vol 1&2, The Fall of Math, Retreat! Retreat! and Hole should be the lot, it's not like they have millions of releases.

yipjumpmusic · « **Reply #379 on:** 24 May 2005, 05:03 »

Pre-ordered Sufjan Stevens Illinois a few days ago (and already have ticket for a show in a couple months when they come here)

Revenge_Therapist · « **Reply #380 on:** 24 May 2005, 05:14 »

Friday I found
Talking Heads-More Songs About Buildings and Food
on vinyl. I am looking for '77 and Fear of Music on vinyl as well if anyone has any leads. If you happen to find this in your town I will gladly reimburse+ postage.

just bought 'Transatlanticism'- Death Cab for Cutie.

good, but sometimes a bit too slow.

californaya · « **Reply #386 on:** 25 May 2005, 06:02 »

On Saturday, I got System of a Down's Mesmerize and Circa Survive's Juturna.

Circa Survive is the first band since At The Drive-In that I've bought their CD based purely on the singer's voice. I seem to have a thing for screaming boys.

Ooo, I need that! Is it really as good as I'm hoping? Not sure I'll be able to afford it though, The Now Denial are playing tonight and I've heard rumours of an amazing distro they have with them so I have a feeling my record budget for a while might be getting blown there.

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge - My Chemical Romance

I can feel the knife on my throat already, you murderous bastards.

Just bought this too. I've been depressed lately and need to wallow. Also, new Ryan Adams and pre-ordered the new Shakira. (Yeah, I love her. And what?)

happybirthdaygelatin · « **Reply #389 on:** 25 May 2005, 15:50 »

I ended up getting the Epoxies - Stop the Future as well as Demon Days.

Edgar Winters Group - They Only Come Out at Night

Jean Luc Ponty - Cosmic Messenger
