I'm going to listen to Bambi's Dilemma now, if I can find it

Great album.

That Mae Shi rekkid is pretty special too.

Surprised you didn't already have Pinkerton though....


Nope.

I've always been a blue album/b sides/hash pipe kinda part-time weezer fan.

Heavy Rocks

I also got the new Torche yesterday, and it's absolutely immense. That hook in 'Grenades' makes my toes tingle.

Today, I got hold of 'Death Church' by Rudimentary Peni. Scorching anarcho punk with a gothic tinge.


.

Man Man - Six Demon Bag & The Man in a Blue Turban With a Face
Don't think I've listened to them enough yet to give a fair responce. But so far I've liked everything I've heard.

Deerhoof - Reveille.
Just lovely. Lots and lots out of ten.

The Cure - Disintegration & Blood Flowers
I'd already heard and liked both albums before, I just wanted to own them. I do prefer happy Cure stuff though.

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
You can't go wrong with Sonic Youth.


Steve Reich - Music For 18 Musicians

which is really wonderful.

Arvo Part - Tabula Rasa. Not really listened to this as much as I should have, it's been slightly overshadowed by Reich.

Animal Collective - Water Curses. This turned up today, and soundtracked my walk to lectures in the sun. Lovely.

No Age - Nouns. Just fucking astounding. I love this band so, so, so, so, so much.

Waiting for my limited edition Gregor Samsa album to show up too.
