Necro - The Pre-Fix for Death

 

This album is godly. It's the way horrorcore is supposed to be. Dan fucking Lilker is on this bitch. Best rap album ever.

I've been unusually sparing with the music purchases lately.

Posted
Ooh, that's a good one.  Although I think I prefer New Day Rising.

The first seven songs on New Day Rising (aka "side one") are mostly perfect, but the album completely falls off for me after "Books About UFOs." Still, pretty awesome album overall.

 

My favorite Hüsker Dü is Zen Arcade, but I usually find myself listening to Warehouse: Songs and Stories more than any of their other releases. An imperfect masterwork, I guess.

Posted (edited)

Zen Arcade is the best, yes.

 

 

EDIT: Oh, right, and new CD's. I went to pick up The Life Aquatic OST from Circuit City last night -- they didn't have it, so I looked to expand on my Brian Eno collection. Nothing.

Echo and the Bunnymen. Nothing.

Scott Walker. Nothing.

Memphis Jug Band. Nothing.

FRANK MOTHERFUCKING ZAPPA. NOTHING.

 

Le sigh.

 

Well, I ended up buying Blueberry Boat. Overhyped, but some spectacular moments nonetheless. Not a waste, at least. But nonetheless, I have gotten something like three CD's in the last three weeks, which is downright scary seeing as how that includes the Christmas season. This calls for a Virgin Megastore trip or something. Or Tower or Ameoba or virtually anything that's not Circuit City. Guh.

In town today I got -

 

Sparks - Mael Intuition (The Best of Sparks 1974-1976)

 

and

 

The Monochrome Set - Tomorrow Will Be Too Long - The Best of the Monochrome Set

 

Tomorrow Will Be Too Long is the third 'best of' I have for the Monochrome Set and all three only have 3 tracks that are on each of them, which is a little odd.

I bought Tom Waits-Bone Machine and Frank Zappa-The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life.

 

I'd only previously heard Mule Variations from Waits, and had a mild interest which I decided to expand upon a bit. I listened to it in the truck and decided that was the wrong environment entirely for that album, so I haven't really digested it yet.

 

The Zappa album is very good, by the way.

Posted

Motorhead -- Ace of Spades

Iron Maiden -- The Number of the Beat

Pantera -- Cowboys from Hell

Black Sabbath -- Paranoid

 

I haven't had time to listen to any of them yet.

Right, Shine by Crime and the City Solution arrived, Smog is delayed. It's good, formed by Mick Harvey post- Birthday Party and it's pretty Nick Cave-y yes, but I think he took longer to become quite as accomplished and mellow. Nice. Dunno about the 'Unacknowledged classic' tag it seems to get just yet, though.

The Wire box set arrived today; I'm now the proud owner of Pink Flag, Chairs Missing, and 154. The only downside is that these British versions are pretty much devoid of the nice bits of album art from the Restless versions, but I'll cope. Awesome.

Posted

The box contains the remastered versions of those albums, too, correct? While I kinda like Pink Flag's muddy sound quality (PUNK ROCK D00D!), the other two albums could benefit from a cleaning.

 

Also, I have the Restless versions of those albums, and the artwork is minimal, anyway. Wire was never one for extravagance.

Posted

In the past few weeks:

 

Jefferson Airplane: Surrealistic Pillow

Love: Da Capo

Smiths: Meat Is Murder

Lennon & Ono: Milk & Honey

Television: Marquee Moon

 

Also, borrowed the Stone Roses debut, You Are The Quarry (Morrissey) and White Light/White Heat (VU).
