Hard Sweet-s/t

Brand-newest and best answer for me: Gilberto Gil, Cidade do Salvador, double CD of jams from '73-'74

ROBERTA FLACK - FIRST TAKE

Taylor Swift S|T
Amy Winehouse Back to Black
Mickey Avalon S|T

And though I first heard it two years ago; Plain White T's Hey There, Delilah

BAN.

mickey avalon wtf. i thought the over/under on people who actually liked mickey avalon was 3 and they all have had sex with steve aoki.

In no particular order:

Shiina Ringo: Muzai Moratorium
Shiina Ringo: Shouso Strip
(I had heard most of the songs previously, but I don't think I'd heard everything before buying the CDs.)
Boris: Feedbacker
Lansing-Dreiden: Incomplete Triangle
Catherin Ribeiro & 2 Bis
(I don't love it as much as some people, but I do like it.)

Deathprod - Box
Jim Ford - The Sounds Of Our Time
Bob Lind - Since There Were Circles
John Martyn - Grace & Danger
Ned Doheny - Hard Candy
Joyce Sims - Come Into My Life
Ruby Starr - Scene Stealer
Billy Paul - War Of The Gods
Flin Flon - Dixie

'kin ay!...did I even buy any 2007 stuff this year?!

lou reed - new york
shuggie otis - inspiration information
royal trux - accelerator

awz

I don't understand why anyone hates Mickey Avalon. Is it because he's perverse, disgusting, dirty and not committed to music?

So all Sid Vicious haters hate Avalon too?

it's definitely not cuz his music sucks.

c'mon. Mickey Avalon is great because he's self-destructive, his music has a grungy stupid sound and his lyrics are horrific AND funny. He's great for exactly the same reasons Sid Vicious is great. (And awful for the same reasons.)

I think he's pretty lame and unfunny tbh

Elvis Costello, Imperial Bedroom
Big Star, #1 Record
The Byrds, Notorious Byrd Brothers

he sucks but j0rdan s. whats the point in calling out someone on ilx for liking him? its not like he's got the ear the ilx zeitgeist or anything. it'd be like going after miccio for liking limp bizkit

just a guess:

Emmylou Harris - Pieces of You
Dolly Parton/Linda Ronstadt/Harris - Trio
Kate & Anna McGarrigle - s/t
Judee Sill - s/t
Ravel - Complete Piano Music
Eskaton - Ardeur

possibly a mistake to bother playing captain save-a-mordecai, tho

Flipper - Generic

i didn't mean to call out mort (<- this is my middle name, btw), i was honeslty under the impression that no one outside of the aoki inner circle took avalon seriously, let alone actually liked his music.

I have listened to most of my fave albums from whenever in 2007. If you mean stuff that I hadn't heard before, I have discovered The Flower Kings and Spock's Beard in 2007, having checked out most of their back catalogue. Great stuff!

tim buckley - goodbye and hello
OMD - s/t
tim hardin - 3
alice cooper - love it to death
sabbath - mob rules
sean price - jesus price superstar (i think that was last year probably)

i dunno...jeez probably 80 percent of what i listen to all the time

This is a decent guess:

1. Los Shakers / La Conferencia Secreta Del Toto's Bar.

I'm about to start a thread for South American pop music, some of this sh1t is incredible.

2. Laghonia / Etcetera.

Ditto.

3. Lee Fields / Problems

4. Judee Sill / s/t

5. Cal Tjader / Agua Dulce

It's Too Late to Stop Now
Tupelo Honey
Into the Music
His Band & Street Choir - Van M.

Dr. Birds and Mr. Hyde - the byrds

Clifford Brown & Max Roach

Plus 4 - Sonny Rollins

Bill Withers - Live at Carnegie Hall

i actually inherited it from my parents' record collection a long ass time ago and hadn't gotten around to it til now(vinyl is kind of a bitch to play here), such a super super thing

bachs - out of the bachs
tyrnaround - succeeds when daylight fails
outrageous cherry - stay happy (and all the other albums)
razorcuts - r is for razorcuts
complex - s/t

Was someone on here just talking about the bill withers album? because I just picked it up last week and it is the biz

I'm making t-shirts: Save A Mordechai!

I know from the Mickey Avalon thread that people tend to dislike him, but I'm a little surprised that you guys are more horrified by Mickey Avalon than by Amy Winehouse. They are both pretty ridiculous characters.

If we're talking about non-2007 records that I heard for the first time in 2007, and have really enjoyed so far, then here's what comes to mind off the top of my head:

The Chameleons - Live at the Academy
The Durutti Column - LC
The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms
Loop - A Gilded Eternity
Mojave 3 - Out of Tune
Seefeel - Quique
Talk Talk - London 1986

All of those I've played at least 5 times in 2007, sometimes 10 or 15, and love them all to death. And, as for records I've had for years that finally "clicked" in 2007, well, I think Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun would top that list. Nothing else comes to mind there.

Scorpions Fly to the Rainbow

Really the whole Uli Roth era actually.

The Kinks - Lola Versus the Powerman & the Money-Go-Round, Pt. 1
Arthur Russell - World of Echo
The Rolling Stones - Between the Buttons
Galaxie 500 - On Fire

Aretha Franklin, Aretha Now
Donna Summer, Bad Girls
Alice Cooper, Killer
Leonard Cohen, The Songs of Leonard Cohen
Curtis Mayfield, Curtis
Frank Sinatra, Frank Sinatra Sings Only for the Lonely
Can, Monster Movie
Iron Maiden, Killers
Iron Maiden, The Number of the Beast
Sly and the Family Stone, Small Talk
Alice Coltrane, Journey to Satchidananda
Fatboy Slim, On the Floor at the Boutique
Etta James, The Chess Box

/\/\Killers is one of the greatest rock albums ever.

ROBERTA FLACK - FIRST TAKE

This is wonderful LP, isn't it? So simple and touching. I've never had any other Roberta Flack records, I wonder if any of them are equally good?
