Their old stuff is indeed fantastic. The Lonesome Crowded West is at least. But...I don't know, this new album kicks so much ass. I do need to get This is a Long Drive For Someone With Nothing to Think About though, so, we'll see what I think when I get around to getting that. I found it in my local FYE after a long time of looking for it, but of course, I was broke. Ah well.c.layne wrote:their old stuff is way, way better than the new cd.. in my opinion
What are you listening to right now?

Cat Stevens
After a long break I'm listening to Cat Stevens.
When I heard he gave it all up, converted to Islam and became Yusuf Islam, a teacher in a small north London school, I was stunned. I really didn't understand. Listening now with fresh ears and a few years hindsight I understand better, though I'm still a tad bemused.
The albums I love and highly recommend are all early (I was turned on to him by an ancient relative):
'Tea for the Tillerman' 1970
'Mona Bone Jackon' 1970
'Foreigner' 1972
'Catch Bull at four' 1973'
Check him out. You might not know him, but you'll know his songs; a lot of which were used in the cult (and totally brilliant) film 'Harold and Maud'. If you haven't seen it go and buy it now (it'll save you the cost of a rental).

Over the weekend I was looking through the bargain vinyl bin and found a record by the "Silicon Teens", and it had an interesting enough cover, song listing, and instrumentation (2 synthesizers, drum machine and vocals) for me to purchase it for 3 bucks....
...And oh man, this is amazing! It's basically 80's lo-fi synthpop versions of classic 50s and 60s rock and roll songs ('Doo-Wah-Diddy Diddy', 'Let's Dance', 'Just Like Eddie')...I wish this act still existed. I would love to have them play a party or something. I don't know what it is...I just love them...

Bleed Together by The Contes.
Just saw them live at Ohayocon 5. They rocked. I got that CD signed by both brothers.
Steve Conte is famous for singing Yoko Kanno songs (Rain, Words That We Couldn't Say, Call Me Call Me, Stray, and more) in Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain, and elsewhere. He's an excellent singer and a really awesome guy.

They're Ok but they're selling their new wave of stone roses as rebellion in interviews, which is a bit painful. Just a more angry The Music to me.TheHipCola wrote:Kasabian - new disc I bought on one of those trips to the record shop when you hope to discover something new and exciting. Not bad...
