Tuesday Tunes

[Mike]

My listens for the last week or so include

The Bravery, Bravery, punk ska 80s influenced sound but all in all pretty good for a debut album

Kaiserchiefs, Employment, yet more 80s sounds but my current fave can’t seem to get this out of the car player at the moment

Joanna Newsom, Milk Eyed Mender, bizarre wonderful sounds of a ten year old Bjork with a harp

Pinback, Summer in Abbadon, thanks to you all who put me onto them but I need to get me some more of their stuff

Mercury Rev, Secret Migration
Drive By Truckers, Decoration Day
Bloc Party, Silent Alarm
Funeral, Arcade Fire
Rilo Kiley, More Adventurous
Lynnyrd Skynnyrd, first album remastered

And finally thanks to Davey for putting me onto an old gem
Mink De Ville, a two for one remastered CD Cabretta/Return to Magenta which is every bit as good as I hoped it would be. Timeless excellent late 70's R&B soulful latino rock which just passed me by at the time, top job on the remaster too.

Cheers
Mike

New:
Eno- Another Green World. I like it, but not nearly as much as "Tiger Mountain." Too much slow and ambient.

Tears for Fears- Everybody Loves a Happy Ending. Ultra high gloss Beatles style pop. Antispetic.

Helmet of Gnats
IQ- 7th House
King Crimson- Construction of Light
Alice Cooper- Billion $ Babies
Symphonic Slam
Peter Gabriel 2
Rush Feedback
Bill Nelson's Red Noise
Some boots from Brad H.

The Unicorns - Who Will Cut . . . .

Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde (SACD)

Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose

[ForeverAutumn]

Alice Cooper- Billion $ Babies

Oh, I love that disk. I'm going to have to pull it off the shelf and put it in the "to listen to" pile for this week. Payback for Whale Music. Thanks.

Last week was insanely busy and didn't leave much time for music. This week is even worse. Here's what I remember listening to...

Amanda Marshall - S/T - Her best CD IMO.
Tragically Hip - Road Apples - an oldie but a goodie!
Queens of the Stoneage - Rated R - it's okay. I'm liking it but not loving it.
Queens of the Stoneage - Lullabies to Paralyze - I'm liking this a lot more than Rated R, but not as much as Songs for the Deaf. It still needs to grow on me a bit more so, who knows where it'll end up.

A yummy comp that Finchy sent me which took five weeks to get to me and will end up costing me money wisely invested in some new found bands.

There's more, but my brain is fried and I just don't have the brain power left to remember them. I need a nap.
