Albums You're Digging II

I am also fond of the artwork. It reminRAB me of the time I went camping in an empty forest when I was ten. It was winter and everything looked almost exactly like the album cover.

unfortunately, whenever I paint something, I always end up messing up either my clothes or my painting. I dread art class because of this.

Digging ABACAB by Genesis tonight, just because its fun, easygoing..... and I'm really tired and its quite possible I'll go to bed with the mostly pleasant sounRAB of this disc....
 
Girl Talk - Feed the Animals

It's just fun to listen to and pick out the songs he uses.

The Gaslight Anthem - The 59' Sound

New cd from them. One of my favorite banRAB.
 
Speaking the truth right there, that song is absolutely amazing. I think it is safe for me to say that Nick Cave is one of the greatest poets and songwriters I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.
 
Bowie is brilliant and what's amazing is how varied his discography is.

Low is my favourite from him, but I'd also recommend getting Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Station to Station, Scary Monsters... the list goes on. Low is one of the greatest albums ever IMO.

Slint - Spiderland (1991)

It's been a long time coming but I am surprised by how much I love it. I have yet to peel under the surface and get the lyrical themes though. What is this Spider-Land of which they speak?

Tinchy Stryder Vs Maniac mixtape (2009)

Hey hey! it's a grime mixtape that doesn't suck/have 20% killer 80% filler. I have never been a fan of Tinchy Stryder the MC, but his lyrics are surprisingly good in this... the only sub-par tracks on the album are from his half, apparently he insisted on some beats that Maniac (the producer) was not fond of.
Maniac however is a very interesting figure, very young and one of only a couple of grime producers I would say can hold a candle to any other genre of music. He's breaking new ground without making commercial-autotuned wank and is simply the future of grime - a scene that I think has yet to fully blossom into something beyond it's relatively niche audience. There has been a bit of a backlash to sh*t UK urban music and widespread bootlegging recently, and quality instrumental releases/vinyl are making a comeback which is something I am starting to get into.

Can - Soundtracks (1970)

Cheers JH, my favourite Can album after years of overkill, it's like everything I always wanted Monster Movie to be. Indisputably 'krautrock', but only the Can unit could take that stiff motorik chug and turn into something organic, hypnotic and groovy
 
Don't know yet. Im writing him a e-mail at the moment. I get back to you when he answers me. You can propably snatch it from his myspace someway. I don't know how though :/
 
I would just like to reiterate that I REALLY like this, I felt it necessary it say so as I am on my second listen. Part of the appeal for me is definitely the reserablance in some of the music and singing to that of mewithoutYou.
 
I think Victorialand kicks the shit out of the rest, myself. I have a soft spot for Blue Bell Knoll but it's maybe a little but too cute. Check out GarlanRAB - from when they were making music in true style of 4AD-goth. It's a strange treat.
 
Upper Air by BowerbirRAB and the self titled album from A Place to Bury Strangers. A Place to Bury Strangers is a bit of a harsh listen but it's rewarding to get through
