Hopstretch Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Mojave 3 -- Out Of Tune So after the UK shoegazing scene blew up, the two guys and one girl from Slowdive left Berkshire and the wall of fuzz behind and started making incredible and (to me) deeply American records full of Hammond organ and pedal steel guitars and alt-country tropes. Did I mention they're incredible? This one is as sunny and hazy as the day on the cover. Edited July 14, 2009 by Hopstretch

feckn_eejit Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Donald Fagen -- The NightflyNice. Though I prefer both of Walter Becker's solo albums, this is certainly Donald Fagen's best... and better than the last two SD albums as well, which I'm just not a big fan of...Feist -- The ReminderNice. I prefer Let It Die but this is pretty good... being in Toronto presently, I've been spinning that, and these: No excuse for this but for some reason I have yet to acquire Brendan Canning's recent effort... and while I like Kevin Drew's Spirit If, the aforementioned two BSS albums proper beat it fairly handily IMO.Malcolm Middleton -- Into The Woods This is lowish-fi, but I think some of you would probably dig it too.mmm?We Were Promised Jetpacks -- These Four Walls Like it. Spiky, fun.Nice! Great name too. Today, a fair whack of the Smithereens: Green Thoughts is definitely my fav overall, despite some FANTASTIC tracks on Especially For You ("Alone at Midnight" is three and a half minutes of absolute perfection in the genre, that bridge in the middle of the song after the guitarey bit... ugh!!! so simple but SO delicious!). Curiously of these first three Smithereens albums, it took me the longest to warm up to Green Thoughts. Can't figure out why now. I find this one a little weak compared to the first two despite some high points... "Room Without a View" particularly. Great track.

Dusty Chalk Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 I feel like Craig Kilbourn in "Craig Kilbourn has a better idea" (a running gag in which he starts listening to a recent artist's current release [sting and Sade were two examples], and then stops it and plays one of their older releases [Police and her first album, respectively]) every time I play Mojave 3. Mojave 3 makes me miss Slowdive.
Hopstretch Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Mojave 3 makes me miss Slowdive. You can't go home again. (Wanders off to try and find that Neil Finn album.)

deepak Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Posted July 15, 2009 Brahms piano concerto no 2 needle drop from noisy vinyl. I have no idea who the conductor or orchestra is, and the sound quality isn't very good, but damn the performance is stunning.
boomana Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 First OMG moment with JH13s in the opening track. Reem Kelani's voice just ripped through, like a hit to the chest. Real physical reaction, though almost scary.
