Dusty Chalk Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 Steve Hogarth & Richard Barbieri, Not the Weapon but the Hand -- weird, minimalistic, sparse, moody album. Steve sounds like he can barely sing quietly enough, against Richard's backdrop (there really is no other word for it -- soundscapes sounds too attention-whorey) of music. I'm actually quite liking it, probably because I'm in my darkened office with headphones on, with a comedown from a post-spicy-meal high going on. My rating, on a scale of one to infinity: 8| (dilated pupils) Quote
mikeymad Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 jeff lynne - 2012 - long wave good but not great - but just happy to have Jeff to listen to. Quote

Dusty Chalk Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Caravan Palace -- French, glitchy, retro electro. RIYL The Real Tuesday Weld, the background music to the Gentleman Rhymer Very upbeat, great fun, makes me happy, makes me dance. Makes me throw my back out, ackshully. Quote
Brooko Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Bat For Lashes - Haunted Man Thanks for posting this. Hadn't heard of them before. This album is brilliant! Quote
swt61 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 jeff lynne - 2012 - long wave good but not great - but just happy to have Jeff to listen to. Didn't know he had any solo work. Reminiscent of ELO, or something different? Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 Reminiscent of more recent ELO (e.g., Zoom) and his work with Traveling Wilburys. I.E. less "electronic", no violin flourishes, and a more general Beatles-y-ness to the songwriting. Me: Can't decide, was listening to Stevie Wonder earlier, not sure whether to go back to IAMX...will probably nix all and watch Sherlock. Quote

Dusty Chalk Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 Should Be: Bruno Mars Just in a poppy/groovy/slightly off-kilter moodOkay, I didn't know. There's nothing 'slightly off-kilter' about this, this is as mainstream as it gets. I didn't realize this was the "Marry You" guy. God I hate that song, and I don't even know why. It just ruined the rest of the album for me, I tried to skip it, but I just couldn't bring myself to listen to the rest of the album. (shudders involuntarily) Okay, this turned into more of a "what am I not listening to" post. Quote
