Nio - "No strings" (Danny Weed and Target mix) which came out longer than two weeks ago, but nothing in the last two weeks has surpassed it for bubblegum/groundbreaking brilliance

Umm... Dawn Of The Replicants and The Futureheads. Unsure as to the order.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Friday, 16 July 2004 12:56 (twenty-one years ago)

oh dear

It's the way how he shouts 'Hives!' at the end of the 'Hate To Say I Told You So' song.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Friday, 16 July 2004 12:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Incredible String Band - "The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter" - which I had heard many good things about, but finally got a chance to pick up for a very reasonable price (though not in mint condition) at the new Academy Records Annex in Williamsburg.

― o. nate (onate), Friday, 16 July 2004 12:58 (twenty-one years ago)

(oh, and Free Me does get a fair degree of love round here)

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Friday, 16 July 2004 13:04 (twenty-one years ago)

The Maxi Geil & Playcolt album. I listen to it all the way through at least once a day. You're all sleeping on it. Wake up!

― Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Friday, 16 July 2004 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

sir lord baltimore "kingdom come." but since i'd already been listening to it for a year or so now, let's say islaja "meritie," which is like turid or yer vashti bunyan stuff from the same weird universe as kemialliset ystavat.

Surprised I actually like the Killers, too.

― dyson (dyson), Friday, 16 July 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

shady loch, if you like 74 eno, listen to the end by nico (i know, i know, i always spend entire days trumpeting single albums...). eno does synths for the entire album, and its his darkest stuff until low maybe. really squally and screechy in places - 74 eno is my total favorite incarnation, and this is yet another awesome dimension of one of my favorite artists in his prime.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 16 July 2004 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

do you think a thread about springsteen's last few records would be worthwhile or would it just be me against a lot of people calling them turds?

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 16 July 2004 16:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks for the tip on that Nico album peter, I just read the review at Allmusic and it definitely sounds like it'd be right up my alley.

― Shady Loch Lenin (haitch), Friday, 16 July 2004 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't remember. Best thing I hadn't heard before was probably John Fahey's Red Cross.

Can I add Stranglers "La Folie"? It's the Stranglers album I always hoped might exist somewhere in their catalogue.

― Bimble (bimble), Friday, 16 July 2004 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Prince at MSG doing "The Question Of U" and "Shhh", + "Adore" solo on acoustic gtr. Incroyable.

Am seeing Him again 2night. It's almost too much for one soul to bear.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Friday, 16 July 2004 17:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Can I add Stranglers "La Folie"? It's the Stranglers album I always hoped might exist somewhere in their catalogue.

Easily one of their more successful forays into quasi-accessibility (parallell to Fire Dances by Killing Joke, I'd say). "Non-Stop" and "The Man They Loved to Hate" are classic. The title track's a bit of a snore, though, unless of course you're on smack, in which case it's probably the best thing ever. "Let Me Introduce You to the Family" is botched but entertaining too.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 16 July 2004 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

J Kwon's Tipsy
Estelle's 1980

I want to hear that Souad Massi CD, but I'm afraid it will sound too much like Joni Mitchell (not that I hate Joni Mitchell, but it's not the sort of thing I'm looking for right now).

― Rockist Scientist, Friday, 16 July 2004 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyone know when the new Girls Aloud album comes out in the UK because I can see it being ace?

― Nick H (Nick H), Friday, 16 July 2004 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I want to hear that Souad Massi CD, but I'm afraid it will sound too much like Joni Mitchell

Just skip the first two songs and you should be good.

― frankE (frankE), Friday, 16 July 2004 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Alex - Any other Stranglers albums that float your boat? I'm not much interested in the earliest stuff I confess.

Also wanted to tell you that a weird thing happened right after ILM went down - that video you posted a link to...some band of a friend of yours that you were crazy about...all of a sudden after ILM went down the clip actually played on my computer correctly and it was pretty cool.

― Bimble (bimble), Friday, 16 July 2004 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

If you like La Folie you might quite like Aural Sculpture, which -- to my mind -- was their last decent record with Hugh (wherein they were ditching the aggro part of their sound in favor of attempting to be a "cooler Roxy Music").

Their latest album, Norfolk Coast, is mighty righteous as well (and this is with the new guy, who I normally couldn't stand).

The video in question...was it "Chicken Dance" by Life in a Blender? Great stuff.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 16 July 2004 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Aural Sculpture was the only album I had of them for a long time. I didn't like it much as an album but I love "Skin Deep" and "Ice Queen".
Sure would like to hear the former just now...

Yes that's it Life in a Blender.

Maybe I should check out the new Stranglers as well. I wonder if that album that had "Always The Sun" was any good or just cheesy. I love that song. Classic.

― Bimble (bimble), Friday, 16 July 2004 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Also it seems really strange to me now that I actually recall liking the first Hugh Cornwell solo album.

― Bimble (bimble), Friday, 16 July 2004 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Perhaps it was his last? I wouldn't know.

― Bimble (bimble), Friday, 16 July 2004 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

the worst was the new Bark Psychosis record which is absolutely dreadful.

I'm probably 1.3 billion years late on this one, but DJ Falcon - Unplugged. iTunes claimed I've listened to it 47 times in the last two weeks, and I've probably counted that many again on my iPod.
