Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted July 7, 2004 Two of Iggy's grittiest recordings. Poorly recorded, but ear splintering. Violent, vicious. Especially the Detroit Studio Outtakes. The concert is much more palpable. Bowie's keyboards are an interested addition to the old Stooges classics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2004 Nick Cave - From Her To Eternity - About as OK as everyone says it is David Bowie - Low - Not the best album of the 70s. The Wedding Present - George Best - Quite good, but obviously no Seamonsters Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures - Easily the best pickup, least of all because it was £3.

DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 "The Union Of Souls" by 3 Colours Red "Black Love" by the Afghan Whigs "Plastic Fang" by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion "More Than You Think You Are" by Matchbox Twenty All pretty good, with the 3CR album being the standout, but I REALLY need to cut down on the CD's I'm buying at the moment, although three of these albums only cost £5 each.

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 "Black Love" by the Afghan Whigs REALLY FUCKING GREAT ALBUM ALERT Was just listening to this again this afternoon. The opening salvo of tracks is incredible, and "Faded" is the best closing track they've ever done. Which is saying a lot. I'm on a big Whigs kick of late, this album especially.

justsoyouknow 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2004 The Beta Band - From Heroes to Zeros The Beta Band - The Beta Band The Von Bondies - Pawnshoppe Heart The Killers - Hot Fuss Eagles of Death Metal - Peace, Love, Death Metal From Hereos to Zeros is a decent outing for the Beta Band, but it seems that the band is relying too much on formula for the album, aping from their previous albums, namely The Three EPs. But, all in all, From Heroes to Zeros is without a shadow of a doubt their best album since The Three EPs. I bought the S/T Beta Band just so I could have their entire back catalogue (my CD collection was stolen a few months back...someone broke into my car the one night I left my CD books in there, made off with my stereo, my change tray, and 250 CDs.) Pawnshoppe Heart is much better than it has any right to be. After showing up late to the garage-rock mainstream and following a public brawl with Jack White, The Von Bondies made a very solid CD. Hot Fuss by The Killers is dance-rock. As pleased as I am that the synthesizer has made it's way back into mainstream music, this CD was a bit of a letdown, as the songs came off sounding too poppy for my liking. Run out to the store and buy Peace, Love, Death Metal as soon as you get the chance. Josh Homme's side project (yeah, another side project)'s debut CD plays awesome tongue-in-cheek music, featuring such great songs as "Whorehoppin", "Speaking in Tongues", "Who Loves the Devil?" and an outstanding cover of "Stuck in the Middle With You". All in all, the only CD that really was a disappointment to me was The Killers. If you're going to buy the CD on the strength of "Somebody Told Me", you're going to be let down by the remainder of the disc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2004 Also, I'll say that the first half of Low is better than the first half of Heroes. In London I picked up Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt and, finally, Pulp's Different Class. And just the other day I grabbed the remaster of Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die. All excellent, but The Blueprint is still the best thing Jay-Z's done. No more albums for the rest of July. The first week of August brings the annual CD spree, wherein whoever among my friends spends the least is labeled Giant Stupid Pussy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
