Some albums or bands you recently re-listened too and still love.
Me: Mekons-Fear and Whiskey One of the first "indie" albums I ever bought. I never stopped listening to this band, but I did stop listening to this record. I was preferring thier older eps and stuff that was more all Post-Punk. But this album is really great, and the country western influences sound so good to me now. I will prolly listen to this forever. Sun Ra-Sound of Joy I havn't been listening to much early Sun Ra lately, preferring his more spaced out shit of the 60s, but honestly, some say he qss incosistent, I really don't think I dislike anything I've heard by Sun Ra. From his most pop Bebop shit to the truly out stuff, everything he did was mindblowing. Not to mention mindnlowingly diverse. This is his second album and the second Sun Ra I bought (after the Futuristic World Of) and its just awesome awesome awesome. That's enough said. Thin Lizzy-First 3 Records I was staying with my dad at his apartment in Boston last weekend and had a fantastic time. Late at night after a heavy pot session filled with the first Season of the Wire and Bruce Lee DVDs my dad and brother crashed so I went through my dad's old vinyl collection. He has an amazing collection of Rock, Jazz, Blues, early Punk, and Soul. I then found these Thin Lizzy albums and at first was like "watevs", but then went back and couldn't help but put on "Bad Reputation". As soon as the opening verse of "Soldier of Fortune" came on I fell in love. The best use of a Synthesizer by a 70s arena rock band I've ever heard. Soulful vocals, excellent riffs, killers basslines. Musically, Thin Lizzy is greatly underated. Husker Du-Land Speed Record When I want to listen to Husker Du, I like most put on Zen Arcade and maybe occasionally Metal Circus. Those records as we all know are amazing semi-psychedelic swirling post punk entities of pure ROCK n ROLL. The other day though I was browsing through Spinnaker in Hyannis, Mass, a decent used record shop (that has an amazing one dollar vinyl bin) when I stumbled on this on cd for ten bucks. I hadn't had a copy in a while. It's nothing like what they would become, but fuck, its the one of the fastest, most physically assaulting records of that whole era. Just amazing thrashing Hardcore with heroic musicianship. That's one thing early hardcore Husker Du had on a lot of other Hardcore bands (but in common with Black Flag, Bad Brains, etc..) is those motherfuckers were amazing musicians. As much as I love Hardcore, a lot of those bands used velocity and volume to mask poor skills, whereas the Huskers had total control over the chaos. Amazing album. |

Sun Ra is a west coast rapper, stylisticaly and lyrically. where he made that record doesn't matter one fucking bit. this picky shit is the stuff that pisses me off about this board.

Circle Takes The Square - As The Roots Undo
I overplayed this record when I was 13 or so and after that I never had any desire to listen to it ever again. But I was looking through my old CD-Rs the other day and just threw this on and remembered why I thought it was so great! |

AMAZING lyrics. I repeat, AMAZING lyrics. Really complex... I honestly don't know how they wrote those songs without getting headaches.

Einsturzende. Haven't listened to them in a time, completely forgot that they're amazing.

Henry Mancini. I hadn't listen to any of his stuff in a while, so I sat and played the themes from: Charade, Lujon, Days of Wine And Roses. I remember why I love this guy so much.
