    first of all just a few things ive picked up recently which are worthy of mention, unlike some of the other crap i got wink.gif

    Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out, excellent laid back indie record with glimpses of pop here and there, well worth spending money on and definitly recomended if you at all like stuff like Spiritualizeds Lazer Guided Melodies.

    got my hands on AK1200 - Prepare For Assault as well.. mix album by one of Americas top dnb acts, haven't listened to it too much yet (due to two other albums here) but theres some absolutely crazy beats on here smile.gif

    also My Bloody Valentine - Loveless .. really old, 92 or thereabouts if im not mistaken, sorta like late spiritualized stuff if theres any comparison. either way its ****in excellent and truely great listening, and ive kicked myself repeatedly that i hadn't got it sooner.

    oh and I've mentioned it before repeatedly .. but Blackalicious - Nia is the best hip-hop album of 2000 imo. go get it, for once its not an album full of "we're the bomb" ****** but pure lyrical and musical genius from start to finish.

    anyway point of thread... give us some new music to listen to.. except please explain what it is smile.gif

    "Godspeed, You Black Emperor!" & "and you will know us by the Trail of Dead."

    why?

    'cos the first band's like nothing you've ever heard before and the second are just all out fun to listen to. smile.gif

    assuming you haven't heard them before, that is.

    hmm yeah heard quite a bit about Sigur Ros and St. Germain.. don't own any of their albums yet tho, both just seem to get pushed down the queue each time I go to get something.. might head to that gig on the 26th if funds are there.

    Primus are well fun, dont take themselves too seriously, not too big into them myself though, just the occasional listen smile.gif

    Get yourself a Sigur Ros album! There's only one so far.

    It's a guy not a band and he plays the guitar with a bow!
    Amazing stuff though, really mellow.

    Like a soundtrack for the moon.

    My bloody valentine is bloody good.
    I bought "Mer De Noms" by A Perfect Circle a few weeks back and its quite good, not dissimiliar to loveless. Its not rock genius but its good to listen to.

    Nope, Sigur Ros have three albums.
    <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">It's a guy not a band</font>
    Nope, it's a band.

    Thank god the world is growing out of this silly lo-fi fascination. I got a great deal of joy from the pitchfork review of the Kings Of Convenience's "Quiet is the new loud"...

    Come back, Eddie Van Halen, all is forgiven.

    My apologies on both counts.

    wow just came across a stunner of an album: Funki Porcini - Love, Pussycats & Carwrecks.
    jazz funk on top of some excellent laid back beats.. Boards Of Canada meets FSOL with that little bit of techno/dnb thrown in, its like going back and listening to Lifeforms for the first time smile.gif

    oh and if anyone has come across anything similar to Roger Waters : Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking (that whole ultimate concept album thing) tell me.. I'm nearly up to understanding 3/4 of it now after 50-75 listens.. and will be needing something new soon smile.gif

    Well recently added to my collection are:

    Pj Harvey - 4 track demos...really quite an Amazing album. She the queen.
    Kings of Convenience - Quiet is the new Loud... Belle and Sebastienesque cept a bit more heavy. chilled out. not bad at all.
    Queens of the Stoneage - eponymous... heavy guitar sounds and grungy feel. good stuff. lively and loud.
    Kruder Dorfmeister - The K&D sessions... ambient work. very chilly.
    Emmy Lou Harris - Red Dirt Girl... seems like the girl just gets better with age. Took a bit of getting used to though as its a bit more "modern" than most of her stuff.
    Captain Beefheart - Uncoditionally Garaunteed... Just completing my Beefheart collection. Obviously a masterpiece.

    yeah cheez dEUS are fluckin amazing. Have all their stuff here.

    Wagon Christ is actually one guy called Luke Vibert.

    He's got a new album out soon on Mo'Wax I fink that's gonna be tasty.

    He has remixed loads of stuff, his "Tally 'Ho" album is some of his best work. (on Virgin I think)

    latest boards of canada ep. v. nice.

    smog - the doctor came at dawn, amazing.

    lambchop - can't remember title, not nixon. brilliant. countryish mellow wonderful stuff.

    j mascic & the fog - can't remember title but it's their new albulm, brilliant indie guitar rock type stuff, even if you weren't a dinosaur jr. fan (shame on you) it's amazing.
