| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jan. 01  | OK, so I had the last 50 aquired thread, but now I'm tired of that. So it's a new week, and I've bought more CD's. Post your own. Here goes... Sebadoh - Bakesale 1994 Lou Barlow's(Folk Implosion) band. This album is nice. I've only listened to most of it once through. But the album is really good. Hard to describe their style, they have kind of a unique indie sound. Skeleton Key - Skeleton Key 1999 This is a 5 song demo they did. This is hard to find, but I recommend it. I saw them play for the first time back in the spring with The Melvins. Nice tight rocking band. Pretty much unknown though. The drummer uses lots of weird instruments and crap to play on so they get an interesting sound. This is a local NYC band, and I've heard they play in the area ofen. I'm going to have to check them out again. Alternative Tentacles Compelation This is fairly new. This is a great punk album. Nuff said. Tricky - Blowback 2001 OK, I don't like this album much so far. I've listened to it like 3 times, and it's waaaayyyy to commercial for me. He has some really good songwriting on here, but I'm just disappointed. They are too radio friendly. Cake - Comfort Eagle 2001 Nice album from them. Been waiting for this one. They have kind of a jazzy feel. Personally I think it's a better album overall from some of their previous.

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Maynard: If you like Sebadoh like I do, then get "Harmacy". That is probably their best album to date. I recomend the songs Ocean, and Willing to Wait. The AT comp. sound interesting, any Dead Kennedys on it? or Jello spoken word? I got Janes Addiction: Nothing Shocking. This is a good album but the slow stuff really drags and it doesn't pick up until the 3rd track then you get hit with another slow song. I like "Standing in the Shower..thinking" and of course "Mountain song". I hear the other album is better though. The Living End: Roll On As a punk fan, I am really disappointed in this album. Besides the catchy title song, the other songs are so formulated and alike. It's like they try to be the Clash, but come up short. That just what I think. You Give Me Head, It Makes it Worse. Take out Your Fucking Retainer, put it in Your Purse. ---Jello Biafra | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | I was waiting til I got home to do this cuz it’ll take a while. Since I listen to a lot of stuff you guys aren’t at all familiar with, for the most part, desert/stoner/doom rock for lack of a better term is what I’m really into now, here’s a review of some of the stuff I’ve bought recently, in case you’re interested….hmmm, where should I start?

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Cake - Comfort Eagle - Cake is one of my favorite bands of all time. I have seen them twice in concert, and they are one of the few bands that can put out a CD without all but one song sucking ass. Short Skirt/Long Jacket is the fucking groove! Another awesome CD from one of my favorite bands of all time. 9 out of 10 The Crystal Method - Tweekend - For months I have been waiting for this one, and I would like to say, I was a little dissapointed in TCM. There are a few songs that rock, but what's with all the fucking guest singers? When I buy a Techno CD, I don't want to hear singing - Just samples and damn good mixes. This CD doesn't even come close to their previous CD - Vegas, which was all that, a bag of chips, and fucking dessert. I expected better. 6.5 out of 10 DasDoomper  | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jan. 01 | To respond to a few things in here.... Yes, there is a DK song on the Alternative Tentacles disc. The TCM album sounds like the new Tricky album. There are some really good tracks, but there are just way too many guest artists on it. They take away from the album I think. Kinda like what Moby did with Play and many artists are doing lately. It's just another gimmick to sell records right now. Why do you think Fred Durst gets so much work. Not because he's actually that good, but because people are looking for a gimmick. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jan. 01 | Bjork - Selmasongs This album is friggin fantastic. If you like Bjork, it's a must have. If you don't like her style, then you may still like this album, but try and listen to it first. It's the soundtrack fom "Dancer In The Dark" so you can rent it to hear the music. O Brother Where Art Thou - Soundtrack What a great soundtrack. All old songs from the American south. This one is an aquired taste. It most certainly won't appeal to everyone. Aphex Twin - Ventolin Aphex Twin is a sort of Experimental Drum and Bass, meets Breakbeats. Some of his stuff is really out there, yet others seem like a moment of total clarity in this otherwise cluttered musical landscape we listen to every day. Slow Dive - Souvlaki This band has a very mellow groove, while still keeping their British pop roots. Slow Dive - 5 EP (In Mind Remixes) This is a dance style remix album. The Moog Cookbook This is a cool album. It's a very lighthearted album of cover songs done on old Moog keyboards. Most are done in a sort of lounge style. It's very fun and lighthearted. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jan. 01 | Here we go again....OK, I may need to see someone about this. I need to go to "Musiclovers Anonymous". Bjork - Gling-Glo This is an very early album from her. 1990 I think, before her solo career. It is a jazz album. I think it's fantastic, but if you don't like jazz, or hearing a foreign language, forget it. There's only 2 songs sung in English and that's because they're American songs. Fluke - Progressive History X I started listening to this band about 5 years ago when I saw them play a show. They are very funky. This is a compelation album of their stuff from all their albums. Fluke is a real band that plays "electronica".(i really hate that term) They have a harder edge though then most dance type music. Great stuff. | ||||
