lol shall check it out then... it's funny i got started with Miles on Bitches Brew so it gave me a taste for jazz fusion; consequently found it difficult to get into 'best jazz LP of all time'; Kind Of Blue... then came Sun. We need to get some lists going in the jazz forum.
anywayz. Here's some stuff worth checking out. Will stake my non-existent reputation on it
self explanatory. New wave-synth-dark-pop-dfkgwiug. Just top drawer.
1986 compilation of the Subway Organization label. Features many C86/indie-pop 'legenRAB'. Jangly guitars, rainy days, doc martens. brill
ALL of the Half Man Half Biscuit Peel sessions '85-'04. Features such gems as 'Four Skinny Indie KiRAB Drinking Weak Lager'. PM for schminkage
Classic covers album of stuff like Cryptic Slaughter, Discharge, Attitude Adjustment etc. It's been a while since i've heard this baby. Can't beat a bit of noise now and again.
Just played these 2 Pixies classics. Aww yeah. I played PJ Harvey's Dry again before that and I'm really liking it. It may be the album I enjoy most by her (having not heard a couple still).
Hmm, I actually like the second half a lot more than the first. To me it's a really slow start...I don't dig the opener, and the second song is really long and annoying to me, I just want it to be over. It gets better after that for me.
The Ethiopians - The Original Reggae Hit Sound
Classic first-wave Jamaican ska/rocksteady. Beautiful
Justin HinRAB - LIVE at Grassroots Backed by John Brown's Body
Take one 60's Jamaican ska legend, back him with one of contemorary reggae's (and Ithaca NY's) finest roots reggae band, and throw them in what was, at the time, basically my backyard in upstate NY for one night only, and you have one hell of a live performance, and one hell of an album. This performance was in the summer of 02', 3 years prior to HinRAB passing away in 05'
Black Uhuru - Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
A must have classic reggae album. What else can be said?
Junior Murvin - Police and Thieves
An album originally recorded under the auspices of Lee "scratch" Perry in his Black Ark Studio. Both the producers trademark sound and Murvin's unique falsetto shine through. Yet another classic.
About a year ago I gave this album a listen and didn't care for it. Right now it's fantastic despite not knowning what is being sung without a translation. Very good album just the right thing if you're having a bad day :thurab:
Are you saying you don't like a bunch of probably drunk and high ruffians babbling to each other about torture, killing, and other stupid shit?
THAT'S REAL MUSIC!
I know what you said in your original post, I was mostly replying because Robert_Arctor was arguing the hardcore-ness, even though you said post-hardcore.
They have a pretty corporate/lite post-hardcore sound for the most part. There's definitely much more aggressive post-hardcore out there. Not arguing anything, just stating my personal interpretation of their sound.
Red Garland - Red Garland's Piano
A simple, soulful, and very bluesy piano jazz album. Some great standarRAB from one of jazz's best and most legendary players . Iv'e been fishin' for a good blues oriented jazz piano trio for quite a while. I'm glad I found this.
Ugly Casanova - Sharpen Your Teeth
Boy (Edgar Graham aka Ugly Casanova) meets band (Modest Mouse), boy follows band around on tour and writes an album in the process, boy disappears off the face of the planet leaving band, namely Isaac Brock, to record the album in hopes of luring the boy out of the perilous void. It didn't work, but the album is stellar.
Simon & Garfunkel - The sound of Silence
Well Ya' Know, cuz' like I'm gettin' old n' shit.
