[Frank's Wild Years]

There are plenty, but I'll go for.... Alice by Tom Waits. It's more or less perfect in every single way, as far as I'm concerned.

 

[dazzak]

I'm quite loving Guillemots' Through The Windowpane at the moment. Yes, I have my hangups about his tendency towards lyrical repetitiveness (Love mentioned 2,385 times, windows mentioned 72 times, trains mentioned 7 times...) and not-so-special voice, but with songs like "Sau Paulo", "Blue Would Still Be Blue" and "Made Up Love Song #43", I just can't resist.

 

[lnathan]

The black Rider - Tom Waits
No More Shall We Part - Nick Cave

And two albums none of you have ever heard of:

Yes We Are a Swedish Balkan Band You Don't Have To Look Twice -Östblocket

Balk'N'Roll - Swing Of Sahara

 

[Codreanu]

I am just discovering the genius that was/is loveliescrushing -- Bloweyelashwish has been on repeat throughout the day.

Think My Bloody Valentine strung out on smack.

Jandek's latest Glasgow Monday: The Cell has also spent some time in my player recently.

"Glasgow Monday is the 47th release, third live album, and second-ever double album release, from avant-folk/blues singer/songwriter Jandek. It is his fifth release of the year (counting the DVD version of Glasgow Sunday) and features "The Corwood Representative" on piano and vocals, along with the same rhythm section he performed with at the shows documented on Glasgow Sunday and Newcastle Sunday, bassist Richard Youngs (playing upright bass) and drummer/percussionist Alex Neilson who accents the music with chimes and echoing percussion. It was recorded live at the Center for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow, Scotland on May 23, 2005 and features a prelude and nine parts to a single song, "The Cell."

"The music has classical elements, and can be called "meditative." It is also devoid of the dissonance associated with most Corwood albums, with Jandek's piano playing being compared to Erik Satie and his speak/singing staying in a mellow timbre that never moves into his atonal wail. The lyrics make references to mitochondria, "streaming into the desert", work, health, heroes, the occult (which he doesn't battle), and "possibility", continually circling back to the same question that begins and ends the album - "What do I have?"."

Pervo, is your second name Sebastian? So cool! (you thought no one would notice it, didn't you hihi)

I simply love: the new centro-matic album and 'leaving songs' by Stuart A. Staples!

 

[AlbertFinney]

Half of my favourite album at the minute is Grace by Tim Buckley. Some of it I'm not too keen but hey ho.

Likewise with the Arctic Monkeys album and a few others I'm listening to.

Tomorrow I'll no doubt be liking other albums more.

 

[wolve]

At this time: Bruce Springsteen - Born to run
Jesus, I'm blown away again!!!!!!!!

 

[Poco Innocente]

Pink Moon - Nick Drake

 

[Chartres]

The Bear Quartet - Penny Century

 

[cossy]

REM Unplugged 2001
DAMIEN DEMPSEY Live at the Olympia (Genius)

 

[Maid@ Vale Lover]

Been listening to Springsteen's new album a lot: The Seeger Sessions. I realise most Moz fans would rather stick their head in an oven than listen to Bruce, but they have more in common than you might imagine.

a lot in common ?


I do like the Boss / but prefer Canadian Young or Adams (Neil or Bryan)

But still Dylan, Reed, Cale, and Wait (Robert Zimmermann, Lou, John, and Tom) are a hell lot better

But Mozzer are best.

 

[Maid@ Vale Lover]

Anything by the ramones

Yeah right Godlovesugly - and not some crap covers of the Ramones - Hey Ho Let's Go with the originals (right Bono ?)

 

[wolve]
