Ordered Nadja after Tacopunch recommended it on here (ta!) and I listened to a sample - completely taken with it.
Picked up a blues collection from Borders for a fiver 'cos it has that Dark Is the Night song from Blind Willie Johnson that is so amazing - The Blues Roots of Ry Cooder, part of a series that includes The Blues Roots of Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Gordon Brown, that sort of thing.
Kaada is really damn good. I've had Music For Moviebikers since it came out but just finally got around to buying some of his other stuff on his site. Highly recommended.
LOTUSFLOW3R and Mplsound by Prince. I really expected these albums to be a mediocre mess with a few good tracks. But they’re incredible. He just wanders all over the place reminding the younger pop/r&b set that he can still do it better than they did. On “Chocolate Box” he riffs on contemporary riffs on new wave riffs that came from his own early funky pop riffs. This album totally makes up for 3121 and Planet Earth.
Really? Only thing of that type i've heard of is them being thrown off a christian battle of the bands type thing for offensive lyrics. That made me laugh.
i always feel bad when bands jump on a show after another falls through without really knowing what kinda situation it will be-because more often than not, they are totally out of place and its just kinda awkward. they werent really bad or anything, it was just not their crowd.
i have been jamming: RUN WITH THE HUNTED's new 12" ep "destroy all calendars" (if anyone likes MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD-type hardcore, these guys are gonna be right up your alley. vegan/sXe HC, anti-sexism, anti-bullshit, anti-homophobia) and am super excited to see REALICIDE tonight and grab their new record off of them.
Amusing how this thread from last year came back to life when the calendar rolled around...

This week it's been pretty much all Zao, all the time. Also; Expolosions in the Sky - Discography. Happy, happy, lyric-less music. The Decemberists - The Hazzards of Love. It shocks me how much I like this album. Also far too much Weezer... it's been sunny.
