recent discoveries:

Pavement- had Wowee Zowee for a long time, liked it, but only recently bought slanted and enchanted and brighten the corners. They're utterly superb.
The Stooges - Bought their debut and Fun House on picture discs, incredible.
XBXRX -Wars, fantastic.
Whirlwind Heat - Do Rabbits Wonder and Types of Wood. Highly reccomended, as only a band that references the greatest album cover ever in their name could be...

i hate types of wood but i've always had a soft spot for do rabbits wonder?

Anyway:

IDIOT FLESH

Boris!

Raccoo-oo-oon
Mahjongg
Ghost Exits

The Mars Volta



I hated them at first for breaking up ATD-I, now i LOVE them, these guys can do NO WRONG! they remind me of sonic youth in that "they are hard to get into" kind of way.

discount was way better.

Fuck Buttons, WZT Hearts.

DRW? is awesome but i also liked TOW. it was definatly not as great but it had some cool beats and funny lyics like
the sperm donation song
and the song where the chorus is
a
b
c
d
e
f
g

uptight was also a cool track. i saw them live once with BYOP thurston and the brk haze, oit was amazing. but blue is by far their best song...

ive stated to listen to them a bit more and they are amazing. frances the mute is one of the best albums of recent years. so creative and interesting-there i said it.


i have, although known them for a while, recently really gotten into rush.

I am never in the right mood to listen to The Mars Volta!! I always end up getting bored after a few minutes. Although I do really like de-loused in the comatorium, it's a lot easier to listen to than other albums.

very nice

Where in the hell did you find that picture? That's crazy!!!

I just now started listening to The Slits and I find them to be amazing.

Fuckemos, can't believe I'd never heard them before

yeah, de-loused is amazing, i am really loving the last song 'Ambuletz' at the moment! If you like De-Loused then you would love the Tremulant! EP

I've been working my way through the entire john fahey discography.. also: fishtank ensemble, rabinical school dropouts, don salsa (craziest band I've EVER heard), whooalicious, all the farmers market stuff (new album on ipecac will most likely be one of the best albums of the year), slimey things (similiar to darth vegas/vicious hairy mary type stuff), sump pumps (similiar to brainiac), time of orchids, samla mammas manna, stormy six, cassiber, ground zero, magma, national health, red masque, tinklepotty, motor totemist guild, three day stubble, dieselhead, johnnyboy, latimer, and older mx-80 sound stuff..
