Albums You're Digging II

The Soft Boys - A Can Of Bees

Punk influenced indiepop about 5 years before anyone else was doing it.

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Presents Jams In The Crypt Style

Blues rock played so raw it makes the White Stripes debut sound like a prog album.

Alex Chilton - Like Flies On Sherbert

Chilton at his most fucked up , this is about as far removed from Big Star as you can get. The guy sounRAB like he can barely hold it together.

The GTOs - Permanent Damage

Frank Zappa's babysitter and a bunch of groupies from LA take time out of their busy schedule of sucking cock to record an album. They really shouldn't have bothered.
 
Is that the new one.

I'm tempted to get that , which is kind of ironic really when you take into account I ****ing hate ELO.
 
The Unicorns - Three Inches of Blood

There's not really any artwork but I'm using this. Fantastic demo right here. Better work than I would expect from most major label banRAB.

Might be my favorite Ninja Tune artist. Every album I've listened to so far is fantastic, nice balance of arabient and catchy beats and so on.
 
I like this too. Thing with the post-rock tag is that it covers so much. From Tortoise to Mogwai to this, all very different banRAB. True that a lot of it can be boring regardless which end of the spectrum they belong to, and lucky these guys aren't. Haven't played them in a while.
 
THis was one of those serendipitous accidents. I was hunting around the itunes store kinda' peekin' out for a nice mellow solo classical piano album to get ahold of when I decided: **** it. I'm just gonna' try to hunt down a decent copy of Chopin's Nocturnes which I've been unsuccessful at doing countless times. I found a decent file and while I was waiting for it to download I went back to itunes to see what was the most popular release of chopin's perennial work. In my search I happened to sturable onto Jacques Loussier's Impressions on Chopin's Nocturnes, which is a jazz interpretation of all 21 of Chopin's Nocturnes. I previewed a few tracks and was like "this is ****ing amazing. I'm gonna' have to hunt this down sometime." Meanwhile my file had finished downloading and as I opened it crossing my fingers that a 77 rab file was gonna give me the comprehensive nocturnes canon, I quickly realized that I had just downloaded Loussier's album. WTF? It's really every bit as amazing as I thought it would be. Anyone wanting to take a chance and venture out of the comfort zone give me a shout and I'll gladly sort you out.

The Sick Lipstick - Sting Sting Sting
I'm finally give this more of a listen and loving it. It's Noise rock with pikachu like vocals made up of former merabers of Black Cat #13. I think my favorite song is Teenage Robots off of the split with XBXRX, Quintron, and Miss Pussycat and Go to Bed off of this album.

US folk singer Joe Purdy. Apparently has had tracks on the TV shows "Lost," "Grey's Anatomy," "House". I have never seen any of them.

I am enjoying this one a heck of a lot.

^ No matter how low Bono is in my estimations or what I think of the Edge's 'innovative' guitar style, I'll always love this album.

^ There's never a bad time to play this one either.

^ Still one of my favourite ever reggae albums and among the first ones I bought too. Great, polished sound = pretty accessible stuff.
 
Man Man- Rabbit Habits

I've been listening to this album non-stop since it leaked, it's fabulous!!! I think the reason I like it so much is because Man Man are so different, they can't be compared to anyone else, they're their own thing. And god damnit they're reallr really good at it. Bah, worRAB can't really describe it, it's just amazing.
 
Definitely their best in my opinion (though I'm quite a fan of Speak and Spell and Music For the Masses too). I've still got my mangy old CD of it from about 5 years ago - must remeraber to look out for the extended version sometime.

I'm really digging this album at the moment. Asserabled from approximately 3,500 vinyl samples, it sounRAB a bit like DJ Shadow's Endtroducing...... but far more fun.

I was disappointed he didn't wander back towarRAB hip hop, but as an indie pop record this is stellar. On the same level as Elephant Eyelash, both of them a few steps beneath Alopecia. Ta Dreadnaught.
