How's God's Balls? There's a used copy for 4 bucks in the store around the corner.

You have to try some Captain: Trout Mask Replica (a trip!--be open-minded); Lick My Decals...; Doc at the Radar Station. I'd recommend those three first.

good enough for me to want to hear it again and possibly buy a record.

i've never heard anything by kluster from when they still spelled their name with a "K".

xhol caravan
moondog
pharoah sanders (i saw him live earlier this year, but i've never heard any of his 60s/70s stuff for which he is known best)
digable planets
don cherry
geto boys
prince jammy
charles gayle
grachan moncur III
dave burrell

and these styles i've music i don't think i've ever heard:
hyphy
crunk
reggaeton
baile funk/carioca funk

Savage Clone · 08.09.2006, 11:25 AM

"Electrip" by Xhol Caravan is fucking awesome.
They are definitely prog, but in a very good way. No guitars. Drums, organ, bass, two saxophones (sometimes flute instead of one of the saxes). Great FX on one of the horns, giving it some crazy sounds. Excellent stuff, not too wanky but definitely jazz-influenced. The DVD that was released recently is very good as well. Not the kind of configuration I would normally go for, but this band really does it right. They walked the tightrope and came out unscathed on the other side.

magical power mako

Cantankerous · 08.09.2006, 11:41 AM

i've heard one or two songs by tegan and sara and i have to say that i absolutely hate them.

porkmarras · 08.09.2006, 11:43 AM

Erm...toho sara=Tegan and sara????Hehe

Cantankerous · 08.09.2006, 11:44 AM

no. i have no idea who toho sara is. tegan and sara are these psuedo-folkie girls with dumb haircuts:

gmku · 08.09.2006, 11:46 AM

There are some albums whose covers completely put me off. Mates of State looks so "indie" & "emo" that I shudder whenever I see it. I have no idea what it sounds like.

gmku · 08.09.2006, 11:48 AM

I have very little idea what the Stooges sound like on anything else but Fun House.

I keep waiting for their other things to show up in the vinyl racks, but they never do. Dammit. but when they do, I will snatch them up.

They did a cover of Nico's These Days. I hated it. The only reason I thought of this was because of the words 'cover' and 'Mates of State'.

porkmarras · 08.09.2006, 11:56 AM

Mates of state are so bad,i don't know why people bother wasting money on their records.The fact that they've had the cheek to cover Nico's 'these days' is sacrilegious enough to make me want to stick pins into a doll shaped like their idiotic selves.

Cantankerous · 08.09.2006, 11:57 AM

mates of state are terrible.

gmku · 08.09.2006, 12:00 PM

I can almost tell anymore from checking out the cover if an album's gonna hit me right or not... It's almost gotten instinctual...
