Albums I bought on a whim? in 2006

Comalies - Lacuna Coil
Supernature - Goldfrapp


I had barely heard of these artists but now I became fans of them. My taste in music is now in the 'I like female leadsingers category', complemented by several other albums with chicks I prefer them to male voices. But of course its the music that matters ;-)

Not sure I'd call Terror hardcore, though. Kick-arse band though. "One With The Underdogs" is a great song.

Another album I just picked up and loved was Versus The Mirror's "Home".

PJ Harvey - Stories from the city, stories from the sea

I used to think PJ was just angry dyke music, but man does she rock. Didn't like "Uh huh her" as much...

PJ Harvey - Stories from the city, stories from the sea

I used to think PJ was just angry dyke music, but man does she rock. Didn't like "Uh huh her" as much...

"Stories..." is such a beautiful album. Her early stuff (read Rid of Me, To Bring You My Love) scared the sh*t out of me...but this was just stunning. "This Mess We're In" is one of my fave songs ever - god PJ's and Thom Yorke's voices were made for a duet together.

"Uh Huh Her" was a grower but it is pretty good. It took a bit of listening (I listened a few times, left it for a month or so and went back) but I eventually got there. Nowhere near the album "Stories..." is tho.

Franz Ferdinand.
I bought OutKast's Love Below at Sanity for $30, and it was marked 2 for $35, so I tohught I'd try this Franz Ferdinand caper, without having heard a single song. One of the best purchases I have made.

i heard a song in my local recod store last week by a band called Little Barrie, the album is called Stand Your Ground
i bought it about an hour ago and have just finished playing it what an awesome album
it is all Roots Based Rock n Roll with a nice Blues-ish thread running through it

what a pleasant surprise this is my second commercial album in thirty years.......oh no i hope i am not going to turn into a commercial album geek

Just discovered a band called !!! and bought their self titled ep and new album myth takes. Both are freaking awesome. Apparently their playing at the columbian in brissy on friday night with the cops. unfortunately i'm out of town. bummer.

!!! - Myth Takes is great. You should get their previous albums too mate - quite good stuff.

Little Barrie are quite good too. Don't own any of the albums but they get a fair bit of airplay on JJJ. Go looking for their previous album too.

Last night I heard the new Wilco album. I LOVE Yankee Hotel Foxtrot but my love fell out with them a bit with A Ghost Is Born. Well...Sky Blue Sky is just divine. So so so different to anything they have released previously - almost Elliott Smith-like in places. It will be this year's "Seachange".

thanks Alex
i didnt realise that Little Barrie had another album out , i will definitely be picking that up

jeez i love it when i find new music

 

[Alex28]

The previous album is called "We Are Little Barrie" - source out "Burned Out" and "Free Salute" for the tracks JJJ played - quite good.
