Thanks for the recs, y'all...of *course* i already have _it still moves_ (!) although i was thinking about picking up the "run thru" single. i remember the fruitbat love being discussed a while ago, so i think i'll check them out. i already have & love ted leo's latest. mighty fine.

unfortunately, the gift certificate didn't arrive until after i left for holiday a louisville...i guess it gives me something to look forward to when i get back. in the meantime, i'll just be distracted by my sparkly new iPod (!!!!) :D :D :D Current raging playlist:

Spoon: Kill the Moonlight (oh my, how this album is ADDICTIVE!! Crack!)
Modest Mouse: the ghost & antarctica
Outkast (well, Andre 3000): The Love Below
Dolly Parton: Hits
U2: Zoo TV Paris boot
George Jones: Greatest
Brendan Benson: one mississippi (fabulous album)

Just got the Wrens and it moved right into my top 10 for 2003.

I would be playing ISM on LP, but it arrived at my door with record #2 broken! ::) :o

InSound was really cool bout it, they said just send it back...nice customer service those dudes have.

Oz · Dec 30, 2003, 09:22 AM

Ooh, thank god for that, John! A MMJ-record broken... The horror! :o

;D

peanut butter puddin surprise · Dec 30, 2003, 11:50 AM

Yes. I played "Taps" in its honor before I put it back in the carton to be returned.... :'(

my_evening_jacket · Dec 31, 2003, 10:21 AM

I'd rather have a broken MMJ record than the entire Limp Bizkit catalog in perfect condition.

While I agree 1000%, it would be great to have a working copy...it truly was sad to see it broken.

my_evening_jacket · Dec 31, 2003, 10:29 AM

oh, I would have cried :'( no doubt.

I was just trying to put things in perspective (there are some people that acually own Limp Bizkit records :o ???

Confidential to fans of Mogwai, GS!YBE, and beautiful music:

Drop what you are doing and go get Explosions In The Sky - "The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place"

Its so good, it'll make you wanna jump up and smack your grandma.

Lieven · Jan 06, 2004, 03:56 PM

Explosions in the sky is just magnificent post-rock!! Really moves me.

If you like the first album, you're gonna crap into your pantaloons when you hear the new one.

It its a brighter affair full of triumphant soundscapes. Melodic and inspirational.

Its been a REALLY long time since an album has gripped me like this one has.

hipkink · Jan 08, 2004, 03:59 PM

I'm going mad listening to the Beach Boys (EVERYTHING!), Stevie Wonder (Songs In The Key Of LIfe), the Beatles (Revolver), Harry Nilsson (Pussy Cats), Dusty Springfield (Dusty In Memphis), Stereolab (Sound Dust), Van Morrison (Astral Weeks), and My Morning Jacket (At Dawn)! I firmly believe that MMJ's second album will go down in history as one of the top ten albums of all time. I can't believe the influence that it has had on my music, and my friend's music. I just had to say again that I love and adore that record more than all of my other possessions!!! ;D

lfish · Jan 12, 2004, 09:27 AM

Ok new discovery: Norvegian group: Madrugada
Album: Industrial silence!

What a voice!!!!

Check it out!

stabz · Jan 12, 2004, 02:49 PM

The Unicorns Who Will Cut Out Hair When We're Gone
Insane Pop, Catchy but not saccharine!

Lieven · Jan 13, 2004, 06:38 AM

Indeed, lfish!

Sivert Høyem (Madrugada) has a superb voice. A bit strong-Leonard-Cohen-voice. Saw them last year in AB Brussels. One of the best gigs I saw, really.
Also check out their later album "Nightly disease".... Haven't heard their latest (Grit) or any EP's, though.

Also laying next to cd-player today:

Do Make Say Think - & Yet & Yet
Durango - Shipwreck Party (bit like 16 HP, Belgian guys, check'em out!!!)
3-mile pilot - Another desert another sea
Miles Davis - Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (relaxing after hard working day...)

plank10 · Jan 13, 2004, 07:38 AM

Ahh Do Make Say Think is great. Their newest Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn has been in my rotation for awhile now.

Oz · Jan 13, 2004, 08:24 AM

Madrugada: I can't say I don't like them, but I once saw a concert of them on Dutch television and it irritated me, 'cause it was so Nick Cave-ish, at times I thought I was looking at a cover band. I don't know if all their material resembles Nick Cave so much, but that spoiled the fun for me.
