Arsis - A Celebration of Guilt Goatwhore - Carving Out the Eyes of God Mastodon - Crack The Skye Primordial - To The Nameless Dead Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Janos Starker - Bach Suites for Solo Cello
Steel Panther - Feel the Steel... so stupid and awful it's hilarious. Every 80s hair metal cliche jammed into a brutally honest parody band. Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris The Gutter Twins - Saturnalia Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral Alice In Chains - Unplugged Johnny Cash - The Essential Johnny Cash
Mountain Goats - Life in the World to Come Mountain Goats - Life in the World in Flux I'm really enjoying the demo disc (Flux) for the album. The album proper is an epic thing.
Chrissy Murderbot - s/t album Every crumb is a banquet. Each song is a dance floor killer, bubblegum on my brain and, packed with enough music nerd nods to make my head spin.
@bryce- GET RAD was better live than recorded too! stoked.
also grabbed the new HERDS 12" from them, they share a member. its good, but not as good as the hype id been hearing, sadly. hey, thats not the bands fault though!
Fu Manchu - Signs Of Infinite Power Wild beasts - Two Dancers (2009) Teenage Fantasy - CD-R Kiss the Anus of a black Cat - The Nebulous Dreams Happy Mondays - Bummed
And for @Paul Sizer and everyone else who loves their synth pop. Have just got hold of a copy of Washed Out - Life of Leisure. It´s just a solo guy from Georgia who makes these short massively melodic bursts of Low Fi synth pop. Like OMD and Human league but run through the tape a dozen times with syrup... oh and a lot better
I bought the latest Fuck Buttons today, and saw them live this evening. There were a couple of songs during the concert that were not that good, but the rest of them were between great and phenomenal. Very good concert. I'm glad I brought my hearing protections, though :). I'm loving the album too, so far...
OK, let the Sizer Bashing begin, but THIS scene from the movie XANADU fulfilled a mid-western music dork's dreams that the Broadway music his parents listened to, and the new wave rock that his friends were giving him on mixtapes, could find a common ground. I kid you not, it's worth it to just hear the "rocker" Michael Beck describe what he wants to hear in a "rock" song. XANADU: "DANCIN' Plus, I had a HUGE crush on Olivia Newton-John in 1980, between this movie and "Grease". Sue me. I await the arse eels for polluting this thread, but I accept them with honor and dignity.
