It's Tuesday - What you listening to?

[mad rhetorik]

Public Enemy: It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
OMG. This rules. Along with Pauls' Boutique the best rap/hip-hop release ever.

Pixies: Surfer Rosa
Hey, it's the Pixies. What else can I say?

Snapcase: Designs For Automotion
Really been digging this lately. One of the best hardcore punk albums I've heard in a while. Gobs of energy.

Joy Division: Substance
Singles and B-sides from the best band of the Manchester scene. Listening to "Novelty" right now, which is a new favorite JD song of mine (although they're all great).

May listen to Cure's Disintegration later.

SUBSTANCE is the first Joy Division I had heard. Completely blew my mind. I remember sitting in my friend's dorm room, about the 2nd week of school my freshman year of college... it was 1988, so I was a few years late in hearing this band, but it was only around that time that their material got released in the US. "Atmosphere" was the coolest thing I had heard in years.. completely new (to me), but dark and alluring, an almost magnetic sound world that I couldn't get enough of. It helped that my friend had some killer speakers and.. well, umm.. lets just say we listened to a lot of reggae too..
