[vvv]

Joan Jett, Bad Reputation because, a. someone gimme a copy of the new movie, and, b. because I like it.

The Best of Jackson Brown, because Lindley izza monster.

Steve Wynn and the Miracle 3, ... tick, tick, tick, Live because it rocks - one of my fave recent live records.

Radiohead, Kid A, because I recently bought it used for cheap; jury is out.

And Courtney Hole's latest, because I love "Skinny Little Bitch".

[Brett Siler]

Wolves of The Throne Room - "Black Cascade" on repeat again and again and again
Earth Crisis - "Breed The Killers" sXe fo lif3! Recorded by Andy Sneap (bring da haters)

[Jeff White]

Late 60's / Mid 70's Grateful Dead. Some of these records sound really great.

[uncle bastard]

Melvins- The Bride Screamed Murder. Regardless of whether you like what they do, the Melvins always confound expectations, and have done so again. There's everything from military call-and-response chanting on the first song to creepy acapella ballad on the last, by way of a dark treacly cover of My Generation which replaces the brashness of The Who with creeping dread.

[cgarges]

Buddy Miles- Them Changes
What a badass record that is.

Chris Garges
Charlotte, NC

[mrclean]

Bill Laswell - Baselines
Michael Penn - Free-for-All
Robyn Hitchcock - Moss Elixir
...plus assorted Echo and the Bunnymen

[vvv]

Love me some Echo!



Radiohead's Kid A, beautiful noise;

The Juliet Lewis CD produced by Omar R. Lopez (Mars Volta, etc.), is really growing on me, inna weird way ...

[Corey Y]

Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics

[Nick Sevilla]

Lots and lots of Asia.

[digdoug]

Big Sugar : Five Hundred Pounds

Damn.

[Jeff White]

Pink Floyd - Meddle
The National - High Violet

[vvv]

Big Sugar : Five Hundred Pounds

Damn.

Kinda obscure, cool band.

Didja know Gordie Johnson has produced the last cuppla Govt. Mule records?

[Jeff White]

I just finished mastering the new Creeping Weeds record ("creeping justin" here on the TOMB and company), and I seriously cannot stop listening to it. Can't wait until I can pass this one on to everybody!

[ott0bot]

Pink Floyd - Meddle

I was listening to that the other day too. Such a good record. I love the bass sound on "Fearless." The whole album just has a great feel.

Last couple days...

Timbre Timbre - st - pretty intersting stuff, definately worth a listen. some great organ parts, and songs that build in a fantastic way.

AA Bondy -When the Devil's Loose - solid record that didn't get too much notice around here. The acoustic guitars sound great on this record.

Betty LaVette, Interpretations: The British Rock Song Book

See, this older soul singer covers a buncha Brit stuff and re-makes Elton, Zep, The Moodies, Stones, Animals, Clapton, The Who, and various Beatles, etc.

I mean she remakes 'em as hers.

Yep, most of 'em she now kinda owns - ya heard it here first.

My fave is "Wish You Were Here", what she makes into a love song; this from a guy who hates Floyd.

======================================

Ian Hunter, Man Overboard

This geriatric rocks harder than you, and 99% of the world, inna Mott the Hoople sense. I mean, there's the kinda folkie songs, the rockers, the Springsteen-esqe (a thing Hunter actually did first, and yes, *Bruce does a duet here), the stomps, the psuedo-(country)-funk, and that voice what sounds like it is wearing the shades.

Fookin' lovely.

* Bruce and Hunter each do a duet on the latest Alejandro Escovedo - what is pretty cool.
