whoa. i finally burned a CD-R of gene clark's NO Other after letting it sit on my comp for about six months.

HOLY.

QOTSA - Era Vulgaris
WS - Icky Thump
Burial - Burial
Tord Gustavsen Trio - The Ground
Television - Marquee Moon
Carpel Square - This is a Movie

UNKLE - War Stories
its very good if you like that sort of thing, which i do.
and i feel kind of weird how after 3 albums i would prefer to listen to new UNKLE album a lot more than anything by DJ Shadow ..

Jesu - s/t (this is amazing, I'd only heard Silver before which I thought was just OK. Now I'm going to have to look for the new one)

Queen, Hot Space (this's much better than I remembered)
Wigwam, Titans Wheel (from 2002, huh! I didn't even kno' they'd put out anything as recent... ...mm, doesn't sound that good, though)
Nona Hendryx, Rough & Tough (after all teh Betty Davis talk, thought I'd give this a try, too)

I bought a library copy of Hot Space a few years ago - love it quite a bit.
I remember seeing Nona Hendryx open for Bowie on his Glass Spider Tour, how's that album? Speaking of the Glass Spider Tour, anyone here seen/listened to the DVD+CD that just came out? Prob not...

This Rough & Tough cd of Hendryx's is, essentially, all the songs from her Female Trouble alb - the track sequence is messed up, though -- with added "Funkyland" and two remixes (of "Baby Go-Go" and "Why Should I Cry").

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Tito Puente - Para Los Rumberos
a weird "Best of Scott LaFaro" comp that was on emusic
Mal Waldron - The Quest

Oh yeah, and Anton Karas's Third Man theme over and over again. So awesome.

Various, In Love With These Times: A Flying Nun Compilation (from 1986-88, starts wid Teh Chills & ends wid Teh Dead C., that sort of thing)
Mathilde Santing, Sings Randy Newman: Texas Girl and Pretty Boy (I rather like her take on Newmanisms ...which ain't too dissimilar, methinks, from the, mm, tone and mood of the next record)
Rickie Lee Jones, Pop Pop

Rufus Wainwright, Poses and Rufus Wainwright (the Poses are perfectly fine with me, whereas the self-titled platter keeps spinning, vocally speaking, too damn often in some sorta Radiohead-space ...or timbre-land, or samthung)

Various, Bird Up: The Charlie Parker Remix Project (Savoy Jazz, 2003) Before I stumbled upon this, recently, thanks to some net sale, I hadn't even heard of such "project". Now, approx halfway through for a first time - Red Hawk, Me'shell, Hal Willner & Co, Serj Tankian, Donk, Choco and RZA, Dan The automator, Rob Swift & X-cutioners behind me; and Matthew Backer, El-P ahead - I'm reasonably content I got it.

I found that In Love With These Times in a charity shop a few years ago, good stuff.

I'm stuck at work til god knows when, but at least I have beer. And AC/DC.

Ha. Beer & AC/DC = work-conquering combination, surely.

It certainly could be worse! I'm mixing the AC/DC up with a Drop Dead discography I got from Slsk.

Wohoo - beer and coctails!

The Clash - The Essential Clash
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
Laura Veirs - Troubled by the Fire
Pig Destroyer - Terrifyer
Koenjihyakkei - Angherr Shisspa
Omoide Hatoba - Kinsei
Stephen Malkmus - Face the Truth

Little Ocean - s/t (neat quasi-minimalist guitar duo stuff)

Greg Sage - Straight Ahead (solo album from '85)
La Dusseldorf - s/t
Pink Military - Blood & Lipstick EP
Discharge - Grave New World (much maligned metal album, had to check it out to see if it's as bad as it's supposed to be)
Deerhunter - Fluorescent Grey EP

That Discharge is as bad as it's supposed to be. The music's not terrible, although nothing special, but Cal's vocals, oh dear.

The Greg Sage album was good though.

This morning I'm listening to:

4 Skins - A Fistful Of 4 Skins
Beatnik Filmstars - Barking (rarities comp)
Corpse Grinders - Grind On (KBD punk band)

..and that La Düsseldorf album is the winner ;)

This morning I listened to CD1 of Kompakt Total 8. Containing amongst others the brilliantly titled Superpitcher track "Rainy Nights in Georgia".

Variou Artists (Amnesty International presents): Make Some Noise * The Campaign To Save Darfur

Which's the (same) two-fer-ful of Lennon covers that Christina Aguilera's versh of "Mother" comes from (that someone -- don't remember who, sorry! -- shouted out about on some other ILX thread, somewhere).
Well I just started, from CD2 for some reason, to listen to this stuff and... Uh, tho Green Day -- hoho? -- buzzin', in their 'own' glueless way, thru the not-too-finess-filled-to-begin-with "Working Class Hero" ain't even anywhere close to what I'd descibe as "a good start" ...and, nyah, Jack Johnson's "Imagine" and Snow Patrol's "Isolation" actually not being nowhere as silly as I'd pheared, still -- oh-eh, The Flaming Lips's "(Just Like) Starting Over" just started ... All this seems sounds quite a pointless exercise in more ways than one.

Mo' worse blues, I'm afraid -- Jack Mannequin featurin' Mick Fleetwood doin' "God" isnnae nuthing else than a rotten dickhatterer's bag full of rotten otter cunts. Ew.

Oi.
OIOIOI.
Mo' cold cockfarmer vomit - Duran Duran & "Instant Karma". O fukk.

Now, after teh above, a-ha's "# Dream" appears almost like a third-decent Roy Orbison-song.

at this exact moment, the natural history's beat beat heartbeat lp

Construction Time Again
Johnny Guitar Watson, Three Hours Past Midnight

Kiss and Say Goodbye: The Best of the Manhattans. Damn, they're so good.

three man army anthology. hairy bastards.

in the changer this morning:

Aly & AJ - Insomniatic (Hollywood)
A.R.E. Weapons - Modern Mayhem (Defend Music Inc.)
Black Angel - O'Santabarbara (Outsiders Record Company)
Ron Carter - Dear Miles (EMI)
Tokyo Dragons - Give Me The Fear (Escapi Music)

The Sapat Mortise and Tenon album, which is way less freaky and free than expected, particularly going by the rest of Virgin Eye Bloods/Kris Abplanalp/Kark etc output from Kentucky. The jams really work, and it's got an actual song too. A good one!

Also finally listening to Catherine Ribeiro, which (refreshingly) totally lives up to the good things everybody has been saying about them elsewhere. I've got the Le Rat etc LP. The first track is just amazing! She kinda sounds like a French Grace Slick, but the music itself sounds reminds me of Nino Nardini or Roger Roger or something, all short, plastic tub kinda percussion, and fuzzy pubic guitar or keys or whatever it is that's making the bbzzzz...

Glenn Mercer - Wheels in Motion - such a great return, can't stop listening
