Quoting years at random since 1975
Got another batch today to keep me going for a bit.
Paul Simon's Graceland is on as we speak, just an upgrade, this, had it on vinyl since it came out. Though the word is waaaay overused, a genuine bona fide classic.
Up next:
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' EPs that I somehow never got around to getting
Florence And The Machine - Lungs
Husky Rescue - Ghost Is Not Real
Blitzen Trapper - Furr
and Genius: The Best Of Warren Zevon
(two more sales for the foot.ie exchange)

Jaysus - blast from the past. Reminds me of when I was 12. Nostalgia overload.
Not heard that album in years. My parents had a copy of it when it was originally released.
The melody and lyric - "There's a girl from Newyork city, that calls herself the Human Trampoline" is currently running through my head now.
I'll have Graceland in my head for hours now!!!!

Could have a lot worse.

This here is a fantastic album, whay aren't they more famous?!
You show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser - Vince Lombardi
Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast - Cornershop, is up to the usual Cornershop standards.
They say what about the meek?
I say they’ve got a bloody cheek
let's see, been a while:
clear - james ferraro
discovery - james ferraro
edward flex presents: do you believe in hawaii - james ferraro
ballads of the revolution - jackie-o motherf*cker
island diamonds - pocahaunted
ferraro makes what david keenan in a recent Wire magazine calls, "hypnagogic pop" - apparently this type of music is predicated on being raised as a child in the 80s and, from your bed, sleepily hearing your parents have coked-up parties with don henley's "boys of summer" playing down the hall.. i'm not making this up (well maybe the cocaine bit). it's bleary stuff, lo-fi, with dance rhythms but it's not so dancey. the term garage (U.S.) has been thrown at it as well. the recording artist ariel pink would be a signpost.
ballads of the revolution is more structured dronefolkrock from the northwest u.s. masters of the form, jomf. i have a bunch of their stuff, if you're into freer music with early verve-like guitars, you could do a lot worse.
pocahaunted are a duo from the u.s. who have re-imagined dub via native american chant. spectral, spooky, droney, dark, and dubby. if massive attack were less self-aware and had two stoned yank chicks wordlessly vocalising.. ah i'm not even gonna try, just listen to it!
zombie/thread killer..
The Resistance - Muse
Exogenesis is astonishing, one or two duff tracks though.
Backspacer - Pearl Jam
Really like this. Their 'poppiest' album yet but that's not a bad thing.
Relationship of Command - At The Drive-In
Don't know how I missed this first time around, but mindblowing....
Meet the Eels - The Eels
Another band I've somehow missed too. Some wonderful tracks. Which is their best album?

I've just listened to this one for the first time.
First impressions are very favourable!
The beatings will continue until morale improves!
Arctic Monkeys: Humbug
Bob Marley: Legend
The Smiths: The Queen is Dead

Genuinely, there is no best Eels album, they've all got something to recommend them, and they all have a mixture of really immediate tunes and slow burners.
I'd start off with Souljacker, more of a harder edged sound to it, might be your best way in. Then Beautiful Freak and Daisies of the Galaxy, the one sort of downbeat, melancholy pop, the other a good bit more upbeat, positively frothy at times.
Really though, any of them. Their recent album Hombre Lobo is as good as anything they've done (sample lyric below!), but would not be featured on the compilation, obviously.
Just avoid Electro-Shock Blues until later. At times it's my favourite, but it is very bleak!

Nice to see Pearl Jam trying something different.. possibly best since Yield? Must check out those Eels albums....I've just listened to this one for the first time.

Dream Theater: Black Clouds and Silver Linings
My boss is a massive fan. Great proggy stuff altogether, 20 minute epics, amazing guitar solos, didn't think I'd like it, but it's mighty stuff.
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
Think they played a gig in Belfast recently, with tickets ridiculously cheap.
I've had Backspacer on two or three times since its release, it's fairly good after an average enough start.
Bought Quadrophenia and Neil Young's Unplugged set so they should keep me entertained for a while.
Massive Attack - Splitting The Atom EP
Great to see them back..
Ian Brown - My Way
Best since Golden Greats, he's on top form here.
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
Lot of good albums about at the minute, but Cornershop's Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast is getting played round the clock at Stann Towers. Absolute gem, like discovering there was a second disc to Handcream For A Generation all along, love it!
What an opener too, bit of sun, windows down, volume up, belting it out at the top of the lungs...

Great - I was wondering how this would turn out.

No need to worry, excellent album. Thought he'd lost his way a bit with the last few, but he's back in business.

A couple of tracks off the new "Delorentos" album " You Can Make Sound"

Listening to Editors 'On This Light And On This Evening'... pretty decent. They sounds a bit more like Depeche Mode and less like Joy Division on this.
