<< polished turds like Cydonia >> it's so shiny, i can see my own reflection! but seriously, why don't you tell us what you DO like, rather than what you don't. what awesome new music have you, or other listies, heard lately? i'll start: "You Forget It In People" by Broken Social Scene -- this is a sort of Canadian Super-group, and they can write a damned catchy song. i really like this album.... not surrpising really, seeing as the core of the band are some guys who are also in Do Make Say Think, who i adore. speaking of which: anybody heard the new DMST album yet? other new stuff i am listening to: "Rounds" by Four Tet. i know that people rant about how good this is, but i just don't hear it. i mean, it's okay, but not earth-shattering. he isn't doing anything on this album that he, or someone else (Notwist, Fridge - and yes i know he is also in the band too, Aphex to a degree) have done before. I dunno -- the way people were going on about this i expected it to be widely experimental. it's not, and i admit to being slightly disappointed... "Passages Through" by Landing. this band, on the other hand, keeps getting better and better. they started off doing long (25 minutes or so on average) psychedelic freakouts. on this album, they still do that to a degree, but they also make some catchy pop songs. this is really cool -- and i bet that some listies would enjoy it.... okay, that's all i got. next! PJK please don't hate me because i can't type..... --- All the cool kids are doing it: HTTP://www.EvilSponge.org
not new, but new to my collection... The Golden Hour of the Future - The Future & Human League. great early signs of electronica. "Dada Dada Duchamp Vortex" sounds just like early eighties Bill Nelson. Cowboys International Revisited - Cowboys International. named one of the top 10 albums of 1979 by Melody Maker. nice to have it officially on CD, with bonus tracks. new wave at its best! soon to buy... "Swimming" - The Names.
