[SaintGermaine]

Petty Thief Lout, The Fall

[taylor A.w.]

"skeng", the bug (kode9 rmx)

[Laidback Mike]

I'm going through some late 80's early 90's "black rock" vibe this weekend.

24 Spyz- Harder Than You( Nice debut, the guitar playing is great, but some of the lyrics are dated)

Follow For Now- Nice tight group, I love their cover version of She Watched Channel Zero)

Fishbone- The ROMS( Classic album with tight songs by Fishbone I. This album should have sold more copies and made them

Seal- His first album

[Compound Egret]

Megadeth_Endgame. Mustaine needs to send a copy of this over to Metallica HQ with a picture of his butt taped to it, cuz they really can't do it like this any more. Even with a bunch of nameless hired guns, Mustaine completely shreds it. The only halfway negative thing I can really say is that I would love to hear Poland or Friedman blazing over these tracks.

Diva Series-Astrid Gilberto. This will make your life better.

Listening to Kid Cudi's The man on the Moon: The End of Day.
Honestly one of the best hip-hop albums this decade, too bad people are gonna sleep on him. Who knows though, it could be one of those Kanye type successes where people thought College Dropout/Late Registration were going to be trash and ended up being 2 of the best rap albums this decade.It's Alternative/Conscious rap, and he has a tracks on there with Ratatat and MGMT, the album is hot.

I HAD high hopes for this album. File it under: Another Pop Album

Oh yeas Tv on the Radio, Have you listen to Rain Machine yet? He previewed the album on Myspace a few days ago.

Yeah. I will get it when it comes out.

the Kid Cudi album. Electric Circus for the skinny jeans set. It seems like there is an ongoing war within hip hop: On the extremes are two ideologies: "My rhymes and subject matter are so radical, so multidimensional, so realistically human that the music can sound however I want it to" vs. "My dance/hook/beat is so addictive, so crazy, so dope that I can say whatever I want in the rhymes". Cudi got it right on that song Day and Night, balancing the two camps perfectly. Beyond that there are maybe 3 other songs that I could even listen to. It's definitely creative, and I'm sure people will love it, but most of the beats are weak and there is too much ODB/ lean music type singing.

Yes, I've always sung the praises of Electric Circus even though the album is widely considered a failure. I have a feeling that this perception will change over time once people realize how "safe" Common played it on his succesive records. I was gonna pick up the Cudi joint earlier but I was broke. I'm probably gonna cop it tommorrow even though I'm pretty much expecting everybody on here to be right. So I'm not going into it expecting a classic. Of course if I don't agree with you guys I guess I'll just be presently suprised if I do like more than 3 or 4 songs.

To piggyback on what Compound was talking about with this new indie-leaning hip-hop set. It reminded me of something Jay-Z said in a recent interview. He said he made D.O.A. because he felt that Hip-hop was losing relevance with all the fake and derivative stuff out there and his song was supposed to be a wake-up call of some sort. He went onto to say that all the exciting stuff is happening in the indie scene and that if hip-hop continued on it's current path that hip-hop fans would drift to where the excitement/innovation was really taking place. I can't say he's got it wrong completely. Ironically he's also got MGMT on his new album.

Eelectric Circus was the stuff, what was that like 2002/2003. I was only like 13 at that time remember falling in love with that album.

Pearl Jam on Storytellers. Vedder's a quick wit.

[Compound Egret]

Megadeth-The system has failed. "The scorpion" is a great song and so timely. This album is pretty good.
