Dirtbombs. They're not great, but they're the best of that pile.

Dirtbombs comp is amazing, esp the covers

canty is an amazing drummer and i used to really like lois' voice but i bet that record isn't very good

― jergins, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 19:50 (sixteen years ago)

Surrender is the only one I have, so it's the best.

(btw i don't know derrick morgan but it looks old and jamaican, so we can assume a certain base level of quality)

(i'm actually pretty excited about the canty thing cuz i heart his drumming)

Derrick Morgan

― hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 25 August 2009 20:10 (sixteen years ago)

That Dirtbombs is probably the best release they've done, I never got into their albums as much as the singles.

I love the Softies but they're very twee indiepop so probably not to most people's tastes.

Agree that Lois & Brendan Canty album's not very good.

I like that welsh SFA album. Or I did when I heard it last about 7 years ago.

― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 20:19 (sixteen years ago)

^^yes. my favorite thing by them.

― Dan S, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 20:24 (sixteen years ago)

i've only heard the softies record, it's boring but pleasant, would be good for napping or reading or general background music

― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 25 August 2009 20:25 (sixteen years ago)

mwng is the only one of those I've heard but it's great

― peter in montreal, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 20:47 (sixteen years ago)

only know and love Surrender (tho you could skip the track ft. J Donahue)

― unban dictionary (blueski), Tuesday, 25 August 2009 20:48 (sixteen years ago)

I have a weird thing for that Softies record, never heard Derrick Morgan. It's probably the Dirtbombs.

― A severe accident, perhaps a dinosaur tragedy (CharlieS), Tuesday, 25 August 2009 20:54 (sixteen years ago)

Dirtbombs comp is amazing, esp the covers

^yes

(taking of which the Datblygu cover is the best thing on 'Mwng'... some stans for the band think it's their best record, can't get behind that but it's worth hearing by all means)

Dirtbombs and Mwng by far

― Jamie_ATP, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 20:57 (sixteen years ago)

they are all crap. get yourself a real good cd. like talk talk's spirit of eden, joni mitchell's blue or joy division's les bains douches.

― alex in mainhattan, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 21:11 (sixteen years ago)

i have those CDs already, but thanks for the suggestions

― the turdlike genius of Jeff Tweete´ (M@tt He1ges0n), Tuesday, 25 August 2009 21:17 (sixteen years ago)

and what about radiohead's amnesiac, giant sand's chore of enchantment and yo la tengo's electropura?

― alex in mainhattan, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 21:21 (sixteen years ago)

i have amnesiac, i only have backyard BBQ broadcast & one other one by giant sand (but i like them) and i don't have electropura (but i do own some yo la tengo cds)

― the turdlike genius of Jeff Tweete´ (M@tt He1ges0n), Tuesday, 25 August 2009 21:24 (sixteen years ago)

dirtbombs for sure, but i like that softies record too...not exactly a barnburner, but it's not really tryna be

― pretzel walrus, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 21:24 (sixteen years ago)

(glum is the other giant sand one i have)

surrender. i love the softies but they have better albums

― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 21:25 (sixteen years ago)

softies! though i don't mind that lois & canty record

SFA-OK!

― staggerlee, Wednesday, 26 August 2009 01:26 (sixteen years ago)

Mwng is such a great little pop record, even if you have no idea what he is talking about...

― Bee OK, Wednesday, 26 August 2009 01:44 (sixteen years ago)

Surrender isn't very strong all around, but "Out of Control" is one of my favorite tracks ever so i must vote for that.

― myndbloom, Wednesday, 26 August 2009 01:46 (sixteen years ago)

Chems.

Mwng is awesome. Pure class.

That's good, but not even close to GZM's best. Shoot for Tatay or Barafundle.

― teflon monkey, Wednesday, 26 August 2009 02:14 (sixteen years ago)

i love this album too!!

on that album, they make most amerikkkan freekfukkkers look like sad sour milk from a donkey.

― scott seward, Wednesday, 26 August 2009 02:20 (sixteen years ago)

I like Bwyd Time and Gorky 5 most from what I've heard. How I Long...I also have, and need to give a thorough re-listen to.

Mwng is a brilliant, brilliant album. SFA's 2nd-best. It's just sensational. I'm voting for it even though I've only heard one of the other albums, which happens to be the Chems' pinnacle.

sad sour milk from a donkey.
Hey, how did you know? That's the title of the forthcoming Devendra Banhart record.
