Just today got

 

The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace

Magazine - The Correct Use of Soap

Wire - Chairs Missing (replacing my fucked copy)

The Slits - Cut

Update - To be honest, I can appreciate the slits being ahead of their time and all, but this isn't the sort of thing I can listen to much.

 

I like The Fall, Wire are of course awesome and 'I'm a Party' off the Magazine album is fast becoming addictive.

I'd just buy that Slits album for the cover.

Yeah. And I do enjoy it now. Some albums take me a while cos I buy four or five and get hooked on one. If one of them's not as immediate, I'm all like 'well fuck that one, I'm gonna play sparks again!' and soforth.

Girl bands tend to grate on me after a while, though.

I've practically given up on the guy I lent Pink Flag to, and I'm seriously about to just cave in and buy it again. I've got On Returning (77-79) So I can still listen to 'Ex Lion Tamer' on repeat but that's unfair to the rest of the godlike songs on that album.

I can't stand the Slits. Just some girls with no sense of rhythm trying to play dub. Feh.

 

Anyway, I'm being frugal with my money, so I can't buy anything anytime soon. So I'm just gonna post a list of the next five albums I want to buy:

 

1. LCD Soundsystem - s/t (I decided I like this enough to want to legally acquire it.)

2. Stars of the Lid - The Ballastrated Orchestra

3. Elvis Costello - Rhino's King of America reissue. I have the original Columbia release on vinyl, so I'd like to upgrade.

4. Black Dice - Creature Comforts

5. Something by Sunn O)))

My roommate burned me a copy of XTC's English Settlement the other day. It's good. I'm sort of uninitiated with this band, having heard only Drums and Wires prior to this, and these songs are much longer and a lot less hooky. I like this less, and I'm really starting to not like "Senses Working Overtime" at all, but it's still pretty interesting.

I think the problem with English Settlement is just that, you have to know what came first. It is long, which means it's not a good introduction. But man, when the hooks do come through...

I don't know about that guy. I've heard two SYL albums, and while he's certainly diverse and gifted in the ways of metal, it's like he tries to add myriad subgenre quirks and sounds together in the same proportions, resulting in everything getting muddy and samey. Some people think he's the end of the world though, so maybe he's one of those musicians you have to "get."

Exactly how I feel about Fear of Music. I haven't listened to that Coltrane yet. I'm still listening to Bitches Brew in pieces and staring at my speakers.

Children of Bodom - Hate Crew Deathroll

Children of Bodom - Trashed, Lost, & Strung Out (Single)

I finally bought a proper New Order album, picking up Low-Life tonight. Very good, and the first song, "Love Vigilantes," was worth the entire purchase, because I never would have it heard it otherwise and it's one of the coolest, most unique New Order songs I've ever heard.

 

I also bought INXS' Kick on vinyl for $1.99. I don't even have a record player, but that cover is going to look ridiculous when I hang it on my wall. Might even frame the bastard.

I just purchased the Mars Volta "Deloused in the Consortuim" Great album, as I really have gotten into this band recently. I like how they mix many styles of music together, to create a very unique sound. I am going to see them at the Greek Theater in Bezerkly on June 3, as an early 30th Birthday present. Can't hardly wait.

I thought I was bad. You'll either love or hate The Commercial Album dependent on if you suck or not.
