Here are a couple of CDs I've picked up from Itunes over the last couple of weeks... I'm a sucker for virtual transactions, its almost too easy to buy music now.
Spoon - Gimme Fiction: These guys have a good mellow, edgy, harmony, rock sound that's easy on the ears. They could probably become more of a main stream band with this album.
The Futureheads - The Futurheads: If you like the Clash, i.e. british garage rock chock full of harmonies then these guys might appeal to you. I caught them on the Jimmy Kimel show a couple of weeks ago and they put on a good show. Not sure if they're "Southern Fairies" or "Northern Monkeys".
System of a Down - Mezmerize: Jared convinced me to get this one. It's typical S.O.D. they rock out with their twisted Albanian Harmonies, heavy guitar riffing, and nonsensical chanting. Apparently they'll be releasing a follow up album in a month or so.
Common - Be: I've heard some of his stuff before, but this one's pretty good... Kanye West did a lot of the music and it's a solid, if short album.
The future heads are from the city whioh hails the 5th best nightlife in the world!
ReplyDeleteI just obtained a couple of Clash albums by putting them onto E's friend's iPod through my computer. I also got some other punk music such as the Ramones, Mike Ness, NoFX, Rancid, Social Distortion, and the Misfits to name a few. My favorite album name is Punk in Drublic. Switch the first letters and you come up with an average weekend for me.
ReplyDeleteIsn't System of a Down from Armenia, not Albania? Anyways, I like their old stuff that I've heard and I'd like to burn a copy of that CD from you the next time I get a chance.
Yea, Armenia... that's the place... it's close to Iraq and shares borders with Iran and Turkey. Albania is on the Mediteranian... anyhoo. I'll bring a copy for you to el-roast-o. Word! The misfits rule... where eagles dare and skulls were some of the early songs I learned on guitar.
ReplyDelete...i iwsh i could go to the roast. I want to photo's of "We love Andy the brit" written on hot chicks stomachs in ketchup and pork fat.
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to recruit some friends and do that for you Andy!
