Can't wait to finally get a real copy of Generic, and I'll probably pick up Gone Fishin' and maybe Sex Bomb Baby as well. Not sure about the live stuff as I haven't liked most of what I've heard.

I just started listening to Thompson over the past year through a handful of the Richard & Linda albums and Unhalfbricking which has pretty much become one of my favorite albums. And I'm going to have to say that I like his contributions to the Nick Drake albums just fine as well. I also have to say...

That's good, as is Let the Darkness Fall (released under Langille & Connors' names) on Secretly Canadian.

I guess the only one right now that I'm a big of is Joanna Newsom.

I'm a typical male music fan in that there aren't a lot of female artists that I'm really into. Newsom is really special, though. I think she's one of the best songwriters and performers of our time.

Can't speak to Matthew Dear, Goldfrapp, or Kula Shaker, so these are coming more from the BoC/Pole angle: Mouse on Mars - Iaora Tahiti, Instrumentals, and Glam cLOUDDEAD - s/t (has sort of hip-hop vocals, but the production is similar to BoC) Tim Hecker - pretty much anything Fennesz - Venice Notwis...

If I had to pare my Bowie collection to 3 records, it would be these:

Low
Station to Station
Hunky Dory

Dammit, I'll be in Seoul the first two weeks in September, and I would really have loved to check out one of these things.

So close. Oh well.

Some interesting choices in this thread. For me, these are probably the standbys for wallowing/staring at the wall: Neil Young - On the Beach Songs: Ohia - Didn't It Rain Low - Things We Lost in the Fire Son Volt - Trace It seems cheesy, but sometimes the really dramatic, "cinematic" instrumental po...

I was user_133

I played this again after a few years recently and suddenly found it pompous and annoying. The first minute or so is still great, but those vocals...no. yeah the vocals are pretty fucking terrible, hahaha. they make me laugh. doesn't really take away from the album for me though. but ive always bee...

i have no white heaven albums whats was weird about watching damon & naomi last night is that galaxie 500 is one of my favorite bands, but i couldnt really get in to it. (i hadnt heard any d&n before last night.) i mean, it wasnt bad, but it also didnt seem all that interesting. though mk was a nic...

Well at least that's a logical choice for someone on this board. I still haven't really listened to that (except for, you know, hearing it during the movie), but I've had it on my HD for a long time. And do yourself a favor and spend some time with On the Beach and Zuma . If nothing else, you should...

On the Beach and Zuma are two of my favorite albums by anybody. I would say that every album he put out from Everybody Knows through Rust Never Sleeps (other than collabs with CSN) is worth owning. Of his "comeback" albums in the late-80s/early-90s, I only really like Sleeps with Angels . (I've nev...

Oh, hey.

I don't have any older Tim Hecker so that may very well be.

Although I'd say there's a lot more to this one than "prettiness". Or at least it's the kind of prettiness I can stomach.

Stuff like Helios is really nice, but there seems to be a lot of that pretty, new agey electronic music around lately. I can't really get too excited about it. I like the recent Tim Hecker, but it occupies pretty familiar territory as does Belong's October Language (that Fennesz sort of droney feedb...

I posted a list in here 2 & 1/2 years ago on page 2. It's a little different now (1 per artist): 1. Neil Young - On the Beach 2. Talking Heads - Fear of Music 3. Can - Ege Bamyasi 4. Wire - Pink Flag 5. The Kinks - Are the Village Green Preservation Society 6. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue 7. Elvis Cos...

"Roughest" in what way?

So I guess it's time for my anuual request for Erstwhile recommendations. To make it a little easier, here's a list of the releases I already have, grouped by how I feel about them: Favorites: 012 Thomas Lehn/Marcus Schmickler - Bart 019 Greg Kelley/Jason Lescalleet - Forlorn Green 023 Polwechsel/Fe...
