Tunng - Comments of the Inner Chorus
I found what I heard from their first album to be a little too precious in a "Hee! We're playing kitchen stuff as percussion!" kind of way (but without the charm of Psapp), but they've clearly learned a lot of restraint since then, because this release gets it exactly right.

Nouvelle Vague's new comp of electro bands' classic covers, 'New Wave'.
OMD covering 'Waiting For The Man' (sic), is particularly awesome - and produced by Martin Hannett (I discover from reading 'Who killed Martin Hannett?'), which most likely explains why it's so much better than most of their recorded output (which i like anyway but with a modicum of guilt)

No, really, you inspired me, via that post from two days ago, to listen again to Cornelius. Then I also did my song post on it. Oh, oops, I thought I mentioned you in my post but now I don't see any such thing. Sorry!Tonamel wrote:I assure you, it wasn't.

The new C.Layne album is awesome. If you haven't checked it, do so now.

i got the new frank black cd bluefinger in the mail yesterday. he's going by his pixie's name again; black francis.
basically, this sounds like what would have been the next pixies cd. it's much more varied in sound than his last two nashville releases (that i didn't like nearly as much as his catholics stuff).
also, his new wife sings on a lot of the second half of the cd, and it's nice to hear a female voice backing up frank. (the duet on honeycomb was, in my opinion, horrible).
anyway, if you liked the pixies but don't like frank black's solo stuff (shame on you; "dog in the sand" is one of the best cds ever recorded), you may like this.

hi guys. it's been a while! i'm glad you're enjoying the album, thehipcola.
here's a couple things i've been listening to lately:
liars - liars
this is probably the most digestable of the liars' records, but it's still weird as hell. a couple of days ago i got the opportunity to see them play an in-store at a record store in town and it was pretty excellent. i heard a lot of sonic youth in the guitar tones and i don't think i can get tired of that.
mouth of the architect - the ties that blind
one of the best sludge/psychedelic metal albums i've heard in a while. very much along the lines of isis or cult of luna, these guys are very good at making meloncholy metal, which i imagine is pretty difficult!
animal collective - strawberry jam
i've actually had this record for a while. it got leaked in early july and i couldn't resist. i've listened to it several times and i'm still not quite sure what to think of it. i was able to catch them on the feels tour, which is when they started playing a lot of these songs, and the album sounds a lot like the live show. it's a lot rawer and more energetic than feels and it lacks the drawn out drones and soundscapes that i really liked about that record. but whatever, it's still good.
ok!

My person favourites have been Big In Japan, What Is He Building In There, Eyeball Kid and Filipino Box Spring Hog. I think a Tom Waits cover fight should be on the cards.jimtyrrell wrote:Seconded.
