did the second album leak?

yeah, before she dropped/left/whichever story you want to believe.

ah. well they parted ways. we'll say that.

Regina Spektor: Soviet Kitsch

secret machines - ten silver drops

and

jewel - goodbye alice in wonderland

it grows on me with every listen. and it's the perfect type of album for the moment. very sunny, bright, and poppy. which is exactly what i need right now.

pj harvey - dry



pj harvey (the band) rocks best here. their music, undiluted and purely, blissfully, orgasmically loud and catchy. this is not elastica tongue firmly in cheek. the songs burn, they are damn sexy. oh my lover, happy and bleeding, water, sheela na gig all scorch with both love and damnation for the male specie while plants and rags never fails to creep out.

I LOVE beth gibbons' vocals. Very creepy and then she has her mellow softened voice as well.

They've been compared to Goldfrapp (from the Felt Mountain days.)

I'll feed you fruit that don't exist, I'll leave graffiti where you've never been kissed, I'll do your laundry, massage your soul.. I'll turn you over to the highway patrol

Yeah everytime i hear about the "felt mountain" they compare that album to portishead. Since portishead is trip hop music, very down tempo with creepy music!! I LOVE IT!!! have you heard of them??? they have that song "Roads" on the Tank Girl" which is fucking amazing!! i love portishead.

I recommend the "Dummy" album

blissfully, joyfully rocking. there are softer spots in this record but for the most part, songs like this is love and good fortune dominate the affair. their cheery disposition guaranteed to make one stand up and play air guitar, sing along to harvey's increasingly beautiful voice. horses in my dreams is eerie but even that tells of a rising above one's private hell. radio ready but still, harvey is authentic. i love you, polly!

This was my first PJ album that i got. And I LOVE it, the songs on there are just fucking amazing!!!. My faves are "Kamikaze", "A Place Called home", "We Float", and "beautiful Feeling". DANG how can i forget my "Whores hustle and the hustlers whore"!!!!

But my album of the day has to be "to bring you my love".

That's my least favourite Polly Album. Im not sure why. You are just a PJ-phile Blair!

i was listening to the album and found myself just air guitar-ing my way through the whole thing. it was bizarre. i love pj. her voice is just so beautiful and she's just so fuckin perfect.

because im feeling in a summery electro-pop mood... this is my album for today... i love it i do!

it's dubstar's disgraceful album!

bagpipes, strings, acoustic guitars and goswell's voice, what a treat. like sarah shannon of velocity girl, rachel goswell always seemed to have a vocal quality that would sound perhaps better in broadway or mainstream pop than in the murky waters of dream pop. but as slowdive's souvlaki proves everytime i listen to it, she pretty much fits everywhere she wants to. the songs in this LP are lovely and normal. normal meaning that there's nothing here that suggests she was a part of the shoegazing thing. the songs are all melodic, soft and just lovely. the word "lovely" keeps popping to mind.

The best garbage album i think there is, i fell in love with album like fucking crazy!!!!

Golddiggas Headnodders and Pholk Songs
by
The Beautiful South

I agree:)

shannon wright - flightsafety

"floor pile", the first song sneaks up on you with the most melancholic guitar, piano interplay one can even muster. it is a sad, beautiful song. and her words just hook you, they're abstract but accessible. this is a keeper. if you like cat power, buy this.

The Amps-Pacer

Sounding like a garage pop band from heaven, the Amps barely registered on the radar but it was perfectly fine with Kim and friends. After the success of Last Splash with the Breeders I think Kim really entered a zone with her writing in the Amps and most of the songs are pretty pop-oriented, nothing too different from the Breeders but it's by far my favorite album of Kims'. Her voice is the perfect mix of sugary sweet and sandpaper. 'Tipp City' is the perfect song to get drunk to, and you have to love the original 'Full on Idle' which I think is better than the Title TK version.

"Holding everything together is Nova's seaside soprano, full of as much poise, grit, fireworks and sweetness as the South itself." - Rolling Stones.

I do love this album, even if I do think it's (possibly) her worst.

oh Mary... can you hear me.

Tori is such an inspiration (as we all here probably know.. me and LY love her)

oh.. and blair you should be a professional music critic.. if you aren't already!

Smashing Pumpkins-Adore

This album is such a touching beautiful event. It is not even comparable to previous albums so I don't know why critics like to. It stands alone as the electronic adventure of Billy & band. Billy's voice really shines on this record and every song's production is magical. Perfect mix of dream pop and alt. rock.

yes. i have to agree. that is a very good cd. i wish i still had it. loved it when i heard it.

i love this record. kim deal really can write the perfect indie rock song in under two minutes. her voice is so appealing, tender, winking and gritty. my favorite song from this is "breaking the split screen barrier".

perfect!

Richard Hawley - Coles Corner


"the thing about meeting new boyfriends at Coles Corner, was they had 2 entrances, so if you went in the entrance in Fargate, you could get a look at them before you came face to face, if they were any good you could just come out and walk to the corner, if not you'd walk away.
I suppose we were rahter shallow but you didn't want to be stuck with any pot herb DID YOU?"

this is my remembrance of a gorgeous girl from Finland, she's calling me for help, she saids" I'm not sure...........I only know somthing Corner by man" ...........in the second times I see her there then I just ask her " did you buy Richard Hawley's Coles Corner?" "yes!" "is it nice?" " yes! very nice", yes I miss her but I can't see her anymore, I still remember her name Tika, so beautiful, I will marry her if I were straight, then I got this album the oother day, oh my god it just amazing and I put a little meaning in it cause it makes me think of her, finland girl Tika, she's about twenty somthing

My friend made me a mix tape so I'm digging that it has (amongst others...)

Umbrella Tree
Joanna Newsom
Calexico
Coco Rosie
The Be Good Tanyas

loads more coolness too

aimee mann - bachelor no. 2
i always forget how much i love this album. this is one of her more rocking records. but man, can she write a good song. her melodies are very beautiful and the ones she compose here are among her best. from the sullen pleas in "deathly" and the surging, spherical sound of "calling it quits". her lyrics are perfect, poetic and confrontational at the same time.

-currently listening to glorious harmonies in deathly, with michael penn and juliana hatfield supporting her voice... ahhh, heaven.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM.... i remember this album got TRASHED by critics!, but fuck them! this is a good album, its so beautiful, and i love how billy is so poetic in his music, and his voice, its absolutely beautiful!.





Im still listening to my Goldfrapp, but for now its "Black Cherry" I LOVE the songs on here!. my faves are :"Strict Machine", "Black Cherry", "Crystalline Green", and "Hairy Trees".

RID OF ME

i'm on a total pj harvey kick and i'm loving this album more than i ever have

neil young - living with war

paul simon - surprise


i was so right in my earlier thinking. this cd truly is amazing. it is one of the best cd's of the year and may well end up on my top3 of the year. paul has shown all these young punks out here making music how it's done.

Rachael Yamagata- Happenstance

I love her voice.

and I love all her songs except the first and fifth songs... but that's pretty good!

I LOVE LADYTRON!!!!!. They are fucking awesome!

oh I love her, I haven't listened to her in yonks!!

I was all over her when Happenstance came out. That was so long ago! Like 2004? Jeez, time flies.

I might have to dig that album up

(Have you read her thing on Amazon.com?)

i fell in love with the comeandgetit ep again.

Madonna: Ray of Light.

The apex of her creativity, this one is essential.

whore? I love Ladytron, they rules, I was listening to playgirl lately

Standout Tracks : At Seventeen
In The Winter
Between the Lines

Rachael Yamagata is very cool, I love her too!

HELL FUCK YEAH!!!!. Ladytron is fucking good as hell!. the new album is something check out "International Dateline". I remember play girl it has been awhile...one of my faves.



TIDAL is fucking gorgeous. but this album won me over, she bit back hard with angst on this album, and the lyrics are fucking amazing!!! My fave fiona album....

LIZ PHAIR - WCSE

i was reorganizing my brother's cds and i put this on, singing to it.
