What CD's have you recently bought/rented?

[captainofbeef]

You bought some Opeth, though not the one I told you to pick up. Have you listened to that one yet?

[criterionmaster]

I love this album so much, well the songs I have heard from it. I only have three songs I haven't. I will grade it when I listen to it.

[captainofbeef]

[criterionmaster]

[captainofbeef]

Yep, the VU is awesome by the way and that is another one of the greatest albums of all time.

I have been fucking loving velvet underground and nico as of late.

Check out some John Cale albums. He was a founding member of the Velvet Undergroud. I recommend Paris 1919 to start.

Okay, I will.

Got these masterpieces (all burned):




Forever Changes is such a fucking fantastic album, why does no one ever talk about it!? It is one of the best I have ever heard, I recommend it to everyone.

[captainofbeef]

Burning is bad for the soul, and yes, Forever Changes rocks my world.

+A really cool live (and really obscure) Sex Pistols record featuring, among others:

Madonna: Confessions Tour

[sacrilegend]

I love Sigur Rós! You're so lucky...

[captainofbeef]

Bought this:


Anyone ever heard this? *cough* cough* Andruini? *cough* *cough*

[sacrilegend]

The Commitments soundtrack! Yay!

[captainofbeef]

Its pretty good, very eighties sounding, dominated by the synth. Nowhere near his Who stuff or even his early solo stuff, but a good listen nonetheless.

[captainofbeef]

Some nice snags tonight:

[captainofbeef]

Machine Head!!!! I <3 that record.

[eatawiiner]

Yo La Tengo - I am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass

J Dilla - Donuts

[criterionmaster]

I was listening to that yo la tengo cd at barne's and noble, I was digging it. Tell me if it is a masterpiece or not, as I didn't get a chance to finish it.

[eatawiiner]

I went to to tha big city and got my xbox and halo2 and picked up:

Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One

Its good, and i've only heard IANAOYAIWBYA through once so I don't know if its a masterpiece, but its really fucking good too.

[captainofbeef]

Digital:

I was downloading some Damned and came across a compilation called "Best Punk Album...ever!" and decided to check it out, boy I am glad I did. While it is no where near a perfect album, nor would I call it even good since they mix bands in here that clearly aren't punk and so forth, but it introduced me to some good bands (X Generation, etc.), so I couldn't ask for more. Anyone getting into punk should check it out.



Also before I snagged that album, I grabbed these:



Such an amazing band, they easily rank up there as one of my favorite bands. I decided it was finally time to snag their first two albums. Glad I wasn't disappointed.



Damned have this style, well more than one actually, that I just love. It is just so powerful and fun to listen to these albums; any fan of punk must get them both, as they are about equal in my eyes.



Such a fun fucking band. I will say that they are an acquired taste, but one that I have acquired. They aren't actually super talented musically, but they are creative and for girls, they pack a bunch (and a kick in the sack). (Also, for anyone who likes this band, I recommend tracking down their cover of "Heard It through the Grapevine," just stunning)



You've heard this I am assuming beed? If not go check this out soon, you should love it. And if you haven't heard this band, go now listen to some of their shit, I recommend the song "Part of the Union".
