    The New Music Thread!

    OK, what new music have you aquired lately and what have you been listening to the most. I've bought:

    Mia Doi Todd's Manzanita

    British Sea Power's Open Season

    Cat Power: You are Cat Power Free

    Broken Social Scene: You Forget it in People

    Architecture in Helsinki: In Case We Die

    The Books: The Lemon of Pink

    Jim Croce's Greatest Hits (He's a local boy who was big in the 1970's but who died in a plane crash in 1973; his wife has a great jazz bar/restaurant here in San Diego)

    Enon: High Society (I finally gave in to the hype)

    Pinback: Summer in Abaddon (This is my favorate local band)

    Brian Eno: Thursday Afternoon (supposedly Brian Eno is a 1970's god father of indie rock but I'm not hearing it in this album).

    Bjork: Greatest Hits (OK, I like this weird Icelandic chick)

    Some Frank Zappa

    Neil Young Live Rust x100

    Annie Anniemal - Oerdin recommended this, but I don't really think it's all that.

    I like Anniemal though I admite it is an aquired taste.

    I could be biased by her hot Norweigen looks though.

    Yeah, I'd hit it.

    I have to listen to it again. I had it on my ipod on the way to school the other day.

    I have to get myself a copy of the second Dolly Parton bluegrass album. I really changed my mind about her after hearing the first one, Little Sparrow.

    Others:

    The Killers - Hot Fuss
    Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters
    The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (making a comeback)
    Tool - Lateralus

    I wasn't aware there was any hype around them at all. Certainly in the UK I've rarely heard mention of them outside of my own group of friends - and we only came across them by accident after seeing them support GVSB a few years ago.

    Anyway, that aside, what do you think of the album?

    Annie being an acquired taste? She's pretty much yet another pop girl.

    I recently acquired Hammerfall's Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken.

    both top quality there are a few decent bootlegs of poney knocking around at the minute, 'i luv poney' (dizzee rascal) being the pick of them.

    haven't bought all that much music recently, from the last 3 months (including the two quoted above)

    tom vek - we have sound (electro)

    the killers - hot fuss (indie)

    kaiser chiefs - employment (indie/pop)

    beyond euphoria (mixed by darren tate) (trance)

    Yeah, they're pretty good. Dizzee rascal's music is interesting, but I don't like the sound of his voice.

    I'm still making up my mind. It's up beat but in a strange almost childish way. I do like synth-rock if it is well done (I love Postal Services new ablum and The Flamming Lips) but I'm still scratching my head about Enon. There was a huge amount of hypster buzz over Brainiac before the leader singer, Timmy Taylor, died in a car accident. I'm ashamed to say I never even heard of Brianiac until after the band ceased to exist but when I heard that former Brianiac #2, John Schmersal, was coming out with his own band I was intrigued.

    Track 11 "Natural Disasters" seems to be the bands claim to fame and it isn't bad for a debute album. The rest of the Album comes off as a bit disjointed but I'm hoping that with a bit of experience these guys might age like a fine wine.
