Very thoughtful politically charged lyrics throughout.
Strong songs, but no real jump out radio singles.
Probably one of the best commentaries on the black community I've heard in rap.
I think its a very good listen, I have no idea who was complaining or why.

How's the beats? Who produced?

Drive like Jehu - Yank Crime
Fugazi - The Argument
Sonic Youth - SYR 8

The beats are actually pretty nice, some bass heavy stuff.
Deffinitlely not your regular top 40 hip hop stuff.
I think Nas produced most of it but I'd have to look at my copy.
And the last poets are on it... win.

lee ranaldo is god

Rob--That Ranaldo album looks fucking awesome.

I realized today that I don't own A Love Supreme, so I got it.



And I also decided to get Tool's Undertow, cause I can never just get one CD.

A Love Supreme is Fantastic.
First Jazz album I ever really listened to.
I've grown up with jazz but have only recently come to appreciate it.

I've always loved and grown up with jazz too, but it seemed so vast and hard to become familiar with. Then I took a jazz history class. I didn't expect it to do much good, but I've never learned so much useful information from a class in my life. The teacher was passionate, thorough, and had us listen to everything. It was great. I actually got the whole big picture and retained it.

I always just thought of it as my dad's music and thus rejected it, then one day I actually listened.

Two Hunters - Wolves in the Throne Room

I'm realling diggin' the thick 5" mini-gatefold cardboard jacket. I totally prefer this type of packaging for compact discs.

undertow rules.

The harmonics on the first song always get me.

Sigur Ros, Bon Iver, My Morning Jacket, Kraftwerk, Sufjan Stevens, Megadeth...

A tribe called quest and a The fall cd
the fall cd is crud

TC3

On vynil:

Fuck, those are the only two I've never heard. How are they?

Blue Afternoon is in the mellow jazz/folk vein of Happy sad / Dream letter live in London / the Peel sessions, it's very good and is mostly beautiful acoustic ballads.

Starsailor is even better, but totally different musically. It's experimental music at its best (strongly inspired by avant-garde jazz and contemporary music). Definitely mindblowing.

Lately I've gotten

CD's
Blondie - Blondie
Sonic Youth - Goo
Sonic Youth - Dirty
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

Vinyl
Blondie - Eat To The Beat

I love all of those.
GOdo buys.

iannis xenakis-anastenaria music viva

went to the library tofay with my buddy to do some studying, while i was there i checked out this, and some other xenakis, partch, and schoenberg stuff and uploaded to itunes and burned it to cds. only listened to thus so far.

i dig shoenberg... any chance you could upload what you've got somewhere?

Hey, Rob, nice purchases. Now sell that Smiths LP to me, please. Name your price.

dude! it is so sweet!
yesterday on a whim, while waiting for my g/f to shop I went to 1/2 price books and found these on vinyl!!!!


HEADACHE - BIG BLACK. It had all the original inserts, and not only that, the previous owner had cut out a newspaper clipping and taped it to the innner sleeve. it details the acquital of the doctor mentioned in the insert by the lady telling the story of how her husband threw their deformed baby on the floor a couple of times after the delivery cuz he was so disgusted. crazy fucking albini, butrthe newspaper artricle really freaked me out when read in conjunction with the inner sleeve!



Don Caballero - (I do not know trhe name. it is a double vinyl)

Great album!!!
My last was Sonic Youth Rather Ripped. I don't buy anything but SY's CDs, the rest is downloadable.:D

Can anyone tell me the name of that Don cab album? is it self titled?

It's Don Caballero 2

Muchas gracias muchacho!

Yeah I too am jealous of Rob popping into stores. I used to work around the corner from two great record stores. Popping in was a daily ritual.

Now where I live I have to drive 30 minutes to the nearest record store. There is no more daily or even weekly popping in. Every couple weeks or even once a month is about all I can stand to make that drive. I'm sure I'm missing a lot--the store gets in great used and new vinyl and it goes fast. But what the hell. Life is still good.

Haha exactly half the time they just have crap, the other 1/2 you'll find something kind of cool, and every now and then you will find something really unxexpected and awesome.

I'm gonna try and get to soundwaves or cactus this weekend.

Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
