Radiohead - Amnesiac
My favourite Radiohead album. Full of darkness and fantastic, strange songs. You and Whose Army? and Packt Like Sardines in a Crusht Tin Box are my favourites.

Blur - Think Tank
Blur's final album before their breakup, finally becoming more than a sing-along Brit pop group, but the power of the album unfortunately consuming and destroying them. Well, that's what I think. Check out the tracks Out of Time and On the Way to the Club if anyone's interested.

John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band
Very minimal and powerful. John's gone all out here, even if the songs sound scarcely layered. Mother and Working Class Hero are the best ont he album in my opinion.

Amon Tobin - The Foley Room
Electronic, IDM, Trip-Hop; whatever you want to call it, this is fantastic. Intense instrumentals and harsh beats combine to make a really unique sound. I relaly dig the first track Bloodstone.

Still rockin' the THUG LIFE tat across your knuckles?

Amazing record. Its about the only Beatles related album I really dig these days.

Good album :)


I've been playing a lot of Misfits, since Dustin filled my library with them :D

FUCK YES!!!! That album is a monster!

Do you get into Death Breath?

It is! I haven't listened to in awhile and I'm wondering why. I never hear anyone talk about nicke andersson, I think he's awesome. I love death breath too, are they working on a new album?

He is a really talented guy. Sweden spits out some amazing bands. Yeh I think the new Death Breath album isn't to far away from coming out.

my friend gave me a trivium CD to listen to and I have to get the awful taste out of my mouth. :(

I hear that Trivium are whack. That Warbringer album is great. I dig how they've got a harder edge than most of the modern bands who kinda have that party/crossover vibe going down. Dudes sound like Kreator which is always a good thing... the German thrash sound is something else.

Been listening to this one a lot today:

Blowing the dust off some oldies lately... Masskontroll today

Screaming Trees- Sweet Oblivion

The Knife- Silent Shout. http://blip.fm/profile/jcostello5/blip/8810042

heaven and hell-the devil you know

i got two new cds from friends for my b-day. Kings of Leon - Only by the Night (which i'm digging though i'm not insane about) and Tinted Window - which is a bit poppy for my tastes but is this bizarre supergroup with the guitarist from smashing pumpkins, the singer from hanson (of all things), the drummer from cheap trick and the bass play from some other band (I can't remember right now). it is pretty good if you like power pop kind of indie stuff like matthew sweet

Beautiful. Stunning. Poignant.

I would borrow a feeling off Cody any time.

Probably my favourite album of all time.

Kiss Of Death by Motorhead is pretty solid too, haven't got round to listening to their new one yet. I wonder if they'll make it back NZ? Have to make an effort to go this time...

They had a one armed drummer!

Been recently digging on an old favorite of mine:

http://stepenrocks.files.wordpress.c...ckmonktime.jpg

Monks- Black Monk Time

Incredible 1960s rhythmic garage rock from a group designed to be the "anti-Beatles". However, they turned out to be far more than the novelty might suggest. Super innovative stuff that should have gone down in history, but unfortunately it just didn't happen.

Seriously, check it out:

I bought 3 new CDs in the past 2 weeks so I've been listening to those alot in an attempt to formulate an opinion on them.

NOFX - Coaster = It's good. Nothing groundbreaking, but if you like other NOFX, you'll like this.

Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown = The jury is still out on this one. After 1 listen, I was very disappointed. After 2 & 3 listens, a few songs stand out as very cool while the album as a whole is starting to grow on me.

Eminem - Relapse = I've only listened to this whole thing once, but I was very disappointed in it. 3 or 4 cool songs and the rest felt very generic. Considering it took him 4 years to put it out, I am not impressed. Hopefully, it'll grow on me after a few more listens.

Aside from those, I went to a Toadies concert last night so I've been listening to lots of old & rare Toadies stuff to get fired up for it. Toadies are awesome. If anyone gets the chance to see them live, I highly recommend checking them out. Very intense, rocking live show. Their albums are all solid too.

The Monks were amazing for sure great choice fortunato!

Right on, Elvis! Have you seen the documentary Monks- The Transatlantic Feedback?

No I haven't seen that. Did it coincide with their reunion stuff?

Yeah, it pretty much includes everything. Their history, their time in Germany, all of their Beat Club performances, their lives after the Monks, and their reunion stuff. Definitely pick it up if you can.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Monks-Transa...2969741&sr=8-1

It's only £10 on Amazon UK, which is way cheaper than what I paid for it over here.

Been listening to a lot of my Sabbath greatest hits CD lately. Along with plenty indie rock, oddly.

I knew a few tracks going into this one...I was surprised at how chill it is. Most of the songs are pretty slow and calm, which surprised me being familar with the more upbeat tracks like Jenny Don't Be Hasty and New Shoes.

I'm still enjoying it, but I wish it had a bit more energy. The above tracks are catchy as Hell (especially Jenny - really cool song), but so far most of the album is sounding pretty similar. I'll reserve full judgment until I give a few most listens...

The Beach Boys- Smiley Smile

http://intothemusic.ca/images/upload...iley_Smile.jpg

More or less as much a masterpiece as Pet Sounds. Listen to the track "Wind Chimes" off of this record for a creepy, unsettling, brilliant piece of minimalism.

Actually, for anyone that's interested:

Cheers for the heads up... that sounds great.

Hey, my pleasure. Glad you're digging it!
