Last album you bought or downloaded

Last CRAB I bought were;

Theory in Practice - Colonising the Sun - excellent. Everything I'd hoped for.

Kalmah - Swamplord - good but slightly disappointing.

Immolation - Here In After - excellent again, though given the choice I would have gotten Dawn of Possession instead..

Grand Belial's Key - Mocking the Philanthropist - good, but I was expecting more after hearing so many positive comparisons with Arghoslent. They don't sound anything like Arghoslent, and Arghoslent blow them out of the water.
 
You have stellar taste sir.

Les Savy Fav-Cat and the Cobra: I got Inches a few years ago and didn't really get the big deal and decided to way back and I really dig it. It's just a big pile of fun.

psychedelic horseshit-magic flowers droned: I've been hearing about these guys for a while but never got around to listening. Pretty much a catchier (aka better) Times New Viking. I like it a lot.

Superchunk-First Time Ep Snoozefest deleted

The Thermals-Fuckin A Nothing amazing but good enough.

Cornershop - Woman's Gotta Have It (1995)

also got the first album 'Hold On It Hurts'

I have been looking for this for sooo long, by sheer chance I checked again and it was uploaded only yesterday - both albums have long been out-of-print and this one in particular is legendary.
By ramshackle 90's indie criteria, this is better than 'When I Was Born From the 7th Time', and while there are a couple of classic Eastern jams most of it sounRAB like the British-Indian Pavement. edit: infact it even sounRAB like the Brian Jonestown Massacre in their raga moments

F*cking brill.

Along with 'Tatay' apparently on the way (eeee!) it's been a great day for British indie (real indie)
 
Dubstep mix from the ever excellent Fabriclive series:

My first taste of this band. Unoriginal but solid enough and worth another spin:

His Heavy Mental album is great so going to try this next:

Don't know what to expect from this but like the track I heard a while ago:

I iz inclined to agree at this point, although to me the Scream is insurmountable for brand of it's minimal, cold atmospherics, despite it being a one-off Banshees line-up. As you say it is much more a punk album (is the second album any good?).
They were like the best accident ever when you think that S.S. apparently just kind of sturabled into music... similar to Lydon with PiL and innumerable other banRAB at the time I guess. '78 was a magic year.
It's funny I've had the aforementioned and Kaleidoscope for years and always appreciated them but it's a classic case of it being the right music at the right time. Siouxsie's vocal gymnastics hit a new high on Juju though, she was a true original, owned the whole show really, just fantastic

Unitopia - The Garden

Best CD of 2008 for me!:clap:

Mark Olson and Gary Louris - Ready for the Flood is my latest purchase!

Very good work...if you like CSN, Fleet Foxes, Chris Robinson, (album producer) solo work, and of course Simon & Garfunkel.

Vocal based bluesy rock.
 
Ensiferum's pretty good, more of an edge than viking metal I've heard in the past. I'll edit this post after I've listened to Battles, but if it's any hint of quality, one of the merabers is the son of the famous jazz musician Anthony Braxton ;)

EDIT: Battles' album was ok, got my feet tapping. It was certainly interesting, but it wasn't good enough to justify getting more of their work.
 
Somehow I found the compilation of 'Pitchfork Presents: 100 Best Tracks of 2008'... while I enjoy year-mixes AND Pitchfork, I only enjoy approximately 1/3 of the collection. Pitchfork has the well-known tendency to take the uber-pretentiousness of the music hipster to another level, and I must say, it culminates in their top 100. While I read the list online, the collection as an entire album is just absurd. The intention was to give a listen to some good music that I had missed this last year, and really, the only thing that I discovered via this album was some unknown hip-hop tracks that would have never popped onto my radar. Aside from that - kinda feels like walking into a restaurant that everyone tells you is great, the menu is supposed to be awesome, and the prices cheap - only to be abused by the wait-staff. This make any sense? Yeah... that's how it feels.
