For Your Pleasure (Roxy Music)

Just finished listening to this one. I bought it since I really enjoyed Roxy Music's self-titled debut. However, this one has some lengthy prog-rock moments that will take a few listens for me. The more immediate, quirky glam/art songs like "Do the Strand","Editions of You" and "Beauty Queen". "In Every Home A Heartache" and "For Your Pleasure" are excellent melodramatic camp.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

Just finished listening to this one earlier this afternoon. It is exactly what I expected, it isn't perfect, but its the beginning of a musical revolution. I already loved the sensual "Venus in Furs" and the immediacy of "I'm Waiting for My Man". "Sunday Morning" and "There She Goes Again" have excellent pop sensibility.

My People Were Fair with Sky in Their Hair...But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brow. The debut album of Marc Bolan's Tyrannosaurus Rex. I have been anxious to hear this record for some time. I was already familiar with the glam rock period of T.Rex (Electric Warrior, Slider), but this colourful, psychedelic folk-rock I find fascinating. Its different from the glam period of T.Rex, but still absolutely fantasic. Its acoustic, sparse, intimate, and posseses an escapism the listener can get lost in. 12 beautiful songs in just under 34 minutes
 
Outer South- Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band

Hmm. Not bad, not good. No real discernible impression at all really. Which is sad, because Conor Oberst is pretty much my idol.

Neutral Milk Hotel- In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

Brilliant. I think I'm in love.
 
Only heard a couple of songs , it's not bad. I can see where the Joy Division comparisons come in although the lead singer seems to be Robert Smith & Bryan Ferry's lovechild.

The Second Standard - Squeeze Me Ahead of Line (2008)

ReminRAB me of a more electronic, calmer The Mars Volta with a few Bunglisms here and there, but pretty damn good so far even without comparisons. Me likey!

4Hero - Two Pages (1998)

What if somebody decided to cross The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Enserable with Massive Attack? Guess I'm finding out through this particular record. :beer:

East of Eden - Mercator Projected (1969)

Early progressive rock/proto-prog crossed with something like gypsy-funk, and it fucking owns. How is it that nobody knows about these guys????
 
**** off with that, I heard a song today and thought it was catchy enough to warrant a download. If your musically shallow enough to criticize me for doing that so be it. Also I was joking about Alfred.
 
I just bought Propaghandi's Today's empires, Tomorrow's ashes. It is very good, and very punk rock! hehe Anyway, yeah, it's very good and I think everyone who likes punk should pick up a copy. Very political.
